I find it odd that "watchdog" would need my opinion, but unlike guys that schill scam operation like SecureBuxx - I have no agenda here, so I'll answer the best I can.
I have never played at Homebets. I have never even contacted them. Thus I have no info on them.
eWinner - if you read (if you can) my posts you'll see that I actually supported, yes imagine that, eEwinner. Now, that said I also w/d my eEwinner funds because naturally given the event that took place a run on the bank was sure to follow. I haven't heard of any 'no pays', but I figure better safe than sorry. And they serve me no purpose as Sirbet sets their lines, and I have an account at Sirbet. The only reason I even played at eWinner is that Sirbet was down during the dDOS attacks (the ones that you hid like a little bitch from and wouldn't put any phone numbers or mirror site urls up, remember?).
Royal, I heard many rumors. From 911, Ken, and more importantly from people not primarily on this site that are down there. Apparently they have received funding or some sort - I don't know. In fact, if you read (again, a tricky one for you) my posts - you'd see that I even play at Lay107 (Royal's reduced juice site) and have complimented them for their pleasant CS & their nice lines. I would advise keeping a low percentage of funds there because, again, - better safe than sorry.
Ok, now you didnt' hear from me because I was driving home from the office. Yes, crook, some of actually work an honest living.
Any other questions?
