There were some interesting developments in the sportsbook industry this week, Fonbet Bookmakers lists a payment method as valid but a player said they told him to use another method, a QuickSilver Sports player with a $7,378 balance reported that he wasn’t able to access his account, EasyStreet Sports targets former BetJamaica, TheGreek, BetEd Sportsbook, Nine.com and VIP Sports customers and Jazz Sportsbook Group allegedly said that no payouts will be made until the start of football season in September. Here are the details:

– Fonbet Bookmakers accepts deposits from Moneybookers and lists them as a valid payout option but a player said they told him to use a payout method that would involve him incurring a larger fee than with Moneybookers.

– A QuickSilver Sports player with a $7,378 balance claims he wasn’t able to access his account. QuickSilver Sports apparently went out of business, they’re no longer offering live help, telephone or email support and their players have reported being owed more than €32,000 for over one year.

– EasyStreet Sports is sending promo emails to players offering a 35% cash sign-up bonus. The emails are titled “Attention all Greek and BetJamaica Clients” but the opening lines also address former BetEd Sportsbook, Nine.com and VIP Sports players.

– A Jazz Sportsbook Group player that is owed $10,000 was told that no payouts will be made until the start of football season in September. Five Jazz Sportsbook Group players are owed over $206,255. Here is the chat transcript from one of the players:
