news of the past few days has caused a lot of hoopla regarding Royal
 
Some people have decided to pull their money out of Royal because of the assocaition with Tej (even though Royal wants to "clarify" his involvment soon).  They want nothing to do with someone who has not acted in the highest standards in the past.
 
Others are saying that Royal has paid, apparently continues to pay, has bailed out numerous players, and continues to offer bettors valuable incentives.  This seems to be an issue of "forgive and forget".
 
The fact that funds at Royal are "secured" via either the OGD or SGA protection plans makes an immediate decision a little less vital.
 
Wondering what others think of this issue?

As I have said yesterday.......this new ownership has been onboard for the past 18 months....players have been always paid...sometimes slowpaid, but always paid. These are simple facts. New owners have invested big money purchasing the book first, remodelling it afterwards. It would sound totally irrational to me if they would throw millions out the window. Lastly...they have reserves that exceed 3 times the entire players escrow figure.

If that is true, that is impressive.

I am less likely to play there. CanĀ“t believe you can recommend a book that "sometimes slowpays" - there are so many shops out there that never slowpays - play there instead!

Sheva,
 
The Offshore Wire doesn't recommend Royal Sports ( rating 6 ). TOW recommends to play at books rated 8 or higher. However we are trying to be objective given the mudslide of these last hours.

Any opinion on the schizophrenic attitude of the RX on this issue?

Raiders,

It is out of tow's forum scope to criticize or be controversial with decisions or positions taken by other web sites. Sometimes I do disagree with them, and this is posted on The Offshore Wire.

Towforum primary goal is to provide its readers and posters a place where they can share their experiences with their sportbooks rather than voicing their disagreement with other web sites.

Now I have heard everything. I don't need to go to a comedy club tonight. They sometimes slowpay but the reserves exceed three times the platers escrow figure??? Their past behavior is more like it's 3 to 1 the other way.

JC Since I dont post at the RX I would like to ask you a question you have bashed Royal up and down for there connection with Tej,what is your opionon of the RX being owned by a known scammer,isn't that like the fox gaurding the henhouse ? They are suppose to be a watchdog site but the owner has scammed players before.

I raised that issue with Ken and he told me the casino guy squared up with everyone. If you know different, please let me know and I will raise hell

I didn't bring the Tej thing up, someone else did. And right before that (24 hours before) there were reports of people being slow paid.

Drunk and JC,

Marty has paid the Danes, but only those who complained - of course! Several players might have quit playing at online casinos and several players have probably never heard that the scammer suddenly decided to pay. It was not like he emailed every single player telling them that he had decided to pay what he stole from them.
