Sportsbook Features

BetUS offers a comprehensive line-up of sports for betting fans, including football (NFL and college), basketball (NBA and college), NHL and international hockey, UFC, soccer, tennis, golf and a heckuva lot more.

I'm not going to sit here and type 'em all out. Check out the all the sports yourself here.

Additional Features

For online gambling options, BetUS also offers a Racebook (if you like betting on the ponies), a popular poker room, and an online casino.

BetUS' "Locker Room" is a huge resource with breaking sports news and picks (Al Simmons is my new handicapping king). I didn't even know they had it until I was researching a game on Google News, and BetUS came up in the results.

They've also got a (hot) section on their site for the BetUS girls (this year's Miss December is kinda spicy), and some great video picks with Mr. Raider himself, NFL great Tim Brown. If you get a chance, make sure to check out the Drunk Handicapper as well. I don't always agree with his picks, but he's always good for a laugh.

Deposit Methods

You can deposit money into your BetUS account via credit card or cash transfer. They accept the major credit cards, including: VISA, MasterCard, AmericanExpress and Diners.

I used to have some occasional issues making credit card deposits online, so I generally just give them a call to deposit if I need to -- 1-888-51-BETUS (23887). No issues whatsoever. On that note, in my experience, customer service is always top notch.

Be aware that if you pay by credit card, you need to go through some hoops to validate your ID. I've heard some people bitch about having to fax in a photocopy of ID and credit card and send in a verification form, but come on.

I don't do business with sportsbooks that don't have this kind of security in place. If you've ever had unauthorized charges on your card, you'll understand...

Payout Methods

In my experience, payouts from BetUS are quick and painless. You can get paid via couriered check, electronic money transfer, or bank wire.

BetUS states 48 hours to process payment requests for approval, then 7-10 business days for delivery after that. Over the years, I've had a couple of payments that came 2 weeks late, but overall the money comes when expected.
