    ABC Islands (ABCislands)
    Hello All,

    I have had a look at ABC Islands - thinking about creating an account.

    They are rated B here at SBR.

    I have had a look here and elsewhere - can't find anything bad about them other than the review comment "Limits may be lowered for professionals"

    They take BTC on dp and wd.

    Does anyone here have recent experience of this book? If so, what do you think?

    They're fine. In some cases they copy lines from other books and just add more juice. And, yes, they are quick to limit players. So I wouldn't use it as my first or second book, but it's okay to add them to your stable.

    The important thing is that they pay.

              Thanks for all the replies. Based on these replies it looks like ABC Islands (ABCislands) is safe.

              One quick point - yes there is a book called betislands. This book is blacklisted here: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/bet...es/betislands/

              Also, the association with 5Dimes is via "IslandCasino" - that is one of the 5dimes clones (along with NicaBet.eu, vietbet.eu, chinesebookie.eu, sportbet.com, betanysports.eu, bombaybets.eu, islandcasino.com)

              ABC Islands (ABCislands) is nothing to do with 5Dimes AND nothing to do with the blacklisted "betislands"

              Again - thanks for the feedback on ABC Islands (ABCislands)

                DO NOT DEPOSIT AT ABC ISLANDS.

                a few years ago i won a considerable amount of money at ABC islands, getting my balance above $400,000. at first they were paying out $5k in BTC every week, but as time has gone on the payout limits have gotten smaller and smaller, and the amount of time it takes them to send each payout has gotten longer and longer. they are now saying i'm getting paid so slowly because i'm a 'non-recreational player'. at the current rate of payout (~$1k per month) it's going to take approximately 30 years for them to send me my remaining $367,432 balance.

                  Wow that is insane

                  slow pay nature might be okay but not for a huge balance

                  hope you ran it up from a small amount rather than deposited a lot of that

                    not too many rec players are going to hit a 400k balance so you prob should have seen that one coming. I'm actually a little surprised you've even been paid out 32k of that balance. if you plan to "get lucky" do it at a book that's actually solvent like BoL or Bookmaker, not mickeymouseislands

                      similar experience to that, but a much smaller balance. took almost a year to get fully paid.

                        Quite unfortunate what's going on there. Once upon a time a good book with decent limits but nowadays they are a joke.

                        A bunch of us are having the same issues with them/group.

                          They have only sent you ~30k total in a few years? Or have you been continuing to play?

                          How much of that original 400k did they manage to remit?

                              ABC Islands was not on my radar but if they are still sending (slow) payments to a player who got up to 400k, now I want to give them a try. Their interface does look poopy though, anyone know what lineset it is? It looks kinda like Jazz but not positive

                              Guessing they did not limit you very quickly? That's also a plus

                              I know huge caveat if they are slow sending $1k at a time...
