You are counted as active for the day you wager, average active for the week and month. |

If I have a small amount deposited at book x and wagers < once a week, am I then active? |

An active player is a punter with a funded account who actively wagers. |

Ok, good for them. Surprises me a bit though.
By the way, how is an active player defined from your point of view Roberto (or from books in general)??? |

slash,
Royal has a wide phone based customer base, close to 60% of their total actives. This customer base has been built throughout the years and represents the nut that has allowed the company to weather most storms. |

10,000+ active players at a book like Royal that mainly has forum players? I don' think so. My guess would be that Royal has less than 500 active players but it seems a bit low based on Roberto's numbers.
My guess is that Pinnacle has <20,000 active players while a book like Centrebet probably has more than 100,000 active players. |

Sheva,
An yearly average of 3,500 actives equates to as low as 1,000/1,200 actives in slow season with peaks of up to 6,000 actives in high season. This can be considered the size of a mid size book.
I don't have Pinnacle's latest figures but I can tell you that in 2004 they were close to 3 Billions in handle (volume). Keep in mind that Pinnacle caters both Pros and recreational, therefore their average betsize is significantly higher than other operations, hence inflating handle. |

Roberto, how many "active" clients would you estimate that Royal / GA / Lay 107 have at the present time ? |

SBR Costa Rica office reports: Royal Sports (SBR rating D+) requests they be allowed to issue a corrected statement to SBR as to the involvement of Tej which was reported by SBR and 911 and confirmed by Roberto C, Royal’s previous CEO. |

I respect everyone's opinion on this matter, and believe that each forum or web site shall take their own decisions. However I also believe people should chill out and think for a few minutes with an open mind, basing their judgement on factual elements. Fact is that Royal has paid all players since August '03, fact is that Royal has honored the massive bailouts ( over 500 players ) that took place at the end of 2003. |

mvbski,
Royal was sold nearly two years ago, in August '03. The new owners have honored all bailout programs ( Gamblers Avenue, Blue Marlin ) and have processed payouts for millions to the benefit of thousands of players. These are the facts. |

Cara,
The whole business, sportsbook and casino, has moved to Costa Rica. I believe they have yet to update all their Web sites pages. |
