    I signed up for BetUS because they sent out a booklet in the mail. I gave them a chance in Jan and by the second day I had taken my account from $0 deposit to $200+ from freerolls and then weak cash and tourneys...Today I decided to take out some of the winnings to play with and I found out they have a minimum $50 cashout fee....? All i was taking out was $400, WTF!? When i saw that I called them and asked if was for real and the customer support guy was very nice and said yes if you take out $50-$5000 you will get charged a $50 cash out fee. I was shocked because he said it like nothing was wrong with that. $50 for $50? For some reason I dont see how this is okay. Is it even legal? If you pay them for taking your winnings out do you have to pay taxes? Ive decided against withdrawaling until I hit 5k. Does anyone else play BetUS? Is there a way around it? I asked if there was another form of payment and they said just courier check or bank wire transfer which has the same fee.

    Cliff Notes:

    $50 withdrawal - $50 fee
    $5000 withdrawal - $50 fee
    WTF?!

    sissies? ha...good stuff.. I have yet to become a monster at the table like you. Maybe one day I'll be able to do what you do and have my maid cash out for me. Oh yeah, nice job winning the Irish Prize Pack. I see what you use BetUS for.

    From my recollection, and I play on Cake, which is the network BETUS is on now I believe, the fee is $35 to request a check (by courier). Not sure if BETUS is any different, but just use ePassporte if that's the case with the $50 fee, it's free to go to and from ePassporte on the poker sites.

    You should feel lucky if you actually get any of your money.

    Betus is a questionable site anyways. NEVER DePOSIT there. Personly, Cashout complettely and HOPE you don't have to wait more than 2 Months to 6 Months to get your money, if it comes at all. They don't like paying Free Rolls.
