Is BetFastAction a Scam: KYS (Know Your Sportsbook)

BetFastAction gives you a login box and advertises more than 80 sports leagues, live betting, casino games, horses and props, but offers little else in the way of identifying information. Big red flag. Plenty to bet on, but who the f**k are they? Big red flag.

That’s where my attempt to review BetFastAction stopped being a test of their betting features and suddenly became an investigation into who controls BetFastAction.

Who the Flip is BetFastAction?

Archived pages show that BetFastAction.com was taking bets way back in 2012, offering sports betting, casino games, horse racing and telephone wagering. Its archived rules contained a particularly revealing qualification: the business described itself as an offshore data-processing, call-center and accounting service for land-based bookmakers, explicitly stating, “We are NOT a Sportsbook.” That obviously changed (though it may have been a false statement at the time).

My digging has yielded the following data points, which, while intriguing, don’t yield any kind of conclusion one way or another as to whether BetFastAction is legit or not. Apologies for the cluttered dump:

  • BetFastAction’s current contact page directs agents to PeriodReport.com.
  • PricePerPlayer.com also links to that agent platform.
  • The WHOIS record for BetFastAction.ag names its registrant organization as “Pricer Per Player”—with that spelling.
  • The BetFastAction August 2015 contact page linked agents to Agent-Book.com.
  • PricePerPlayer’s July 2015 website displayed 1-866-857-1210, the same telephone number subsequently found on Agent-Book.com.
  • BetFastAction’s support number, 1-866-500-6218, appeared in its 2015 archive and remains on its current contact page.
  • PricePerPlayer’s disclaimer identifies XT Online Software Services, while its footer names XT Online Software Services Ltda., with an address in Calle Blancos, Goicoechea, Costa Rica.
  • Josh Ingram is identified in PricePerPlayer promotional material as a Marketing and Operations Director.
  • An Costa Rican gazette notice supplies firmer corporate evidence: XT Online Software Services Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada was constituted by a deed executed on June 29, 2019. The notice does not identify owners.
  • XT’s LinkedIn company page advertised recruitment using [email protected].
  • ChampsPPH and RealBookies display the same contact number, 800-949-6285.

The points above broaden the network to other PPH sites, but still leave the central ownership question unanswered: no corporate extract, shareholder record or customer-balance agreement was obtained that establishes who controls BetFastAction or owes its players money. While a paper trail would tell us more than is readily available on the betting forums, the complaints speak loudly enough for themselves.

A Litany of Complaints

The complaints involving BetFastAction describe closed accounts, stranded balances, disappearing bookmakers and frustration over the platform’s handling of nonpaying operators. The most detailed discussions appear on Sportsbook Review, with separate reports on Reddit. They include responses attributed to BetFastAction staff, although I found no direct company statement addressing these disputes in the threads reviewed.

On October 22, 2021, a Sportsbook Review member reported that his account had been closed with $860 remaining. In his original complaint, he described depositing $200, building the balance to $2,600 and receiving one $500 payment. When he subsequently requested $400, his local bookmaker blamed BetFastAction, saying the platform had failed to pay him. The bettor, who had used that bookmaker for two years, rejected that explanation. In a follow-up, he explicitly blamed the local bookmaker rather than BetFastAction. He also reported calling and being told that the bookmaker owed the platform money—not the other way around.

A separate Reddit complaint dated April 10, 2023 described a bookmaker recruited through Twitter who used BetFastAction. The bettor said the bookmaker’s Twitter page had disappeared while money remained in the betting account. The post asked whether anything could be done to recover the balance; it supplied no amount. No response from BetFastAction appears in the discussion retrieved.

The most extensive criticism of BetFastAction’s own conduct arose during the CashBet payment dispute. In a January 2023 Sportsbook Review discussion, bettors accused the platform of continuing to serve CashBet despite knowing about unpaid withdrawals. On January 23, member TXDawg said he had spoken to someone named Nate at BetFastAction and told him about both the forum thread and OSGA’s CashBet warning. He wanted BetFastAction to terminate CashBet’s service. Another participant complained that the platform was escaping scrutiny while players remained unpaid. Sportsbook Review Forum

There were reported responses. TXDawg described speaking with a BetFastAction supervisor. According to his account, Becky, Mike and Nate emphasized that they took cutting off nonpaying agents seriously. Nevertheless, he expressed growing doubt that those assurances would produce action. Becky also reportedly explained that casino tipping was disabled across BetFastAction accounts and attempted tips would be returned—a question raised after frustrated CashBet customers tried giving their otherwise inaccessible balances to live dealers.

By April, the complaints continued. In another CashBet thread, TXDawg said he had received just one $1,000 payment and accused BetFastAction of knowing about the problem without stopping it. Ksherm likewise reported one $1,000 payment in December, followed by nothing, and later put his unpaid amount at $7,500. Other CashBet participants described seven-month waits and an outstanding $572 balance. These were CashBet payout complaints; the criticism directed at BetFastAction concerned its response as the platform provider.

Most Concerning: Little to No Response From BetFastAction

The public-response gap is a transparency red flag: readers can see complaints and reported private assurances, but no direct BetFastAction explanation establishing what it investigated, what action it took, or whether the affected bettors were ultimately paid.

A business concerned about its reputation has a clear incentive to address public complaints, explain its role and show what it has done to resolve problems. BetFastAction’s limited visible response is therefore concerning: it leaves prospective customers reading detailed accounts of payment disputes without an equally clear explanation from the company.

SportsIntensity Bottom Line

Given the payment complaints and the lack of a clear public explanation from BetFastAction showing how they were resolved, our recommendation is to steer clear. Bettors shouldn’t have to untangle a dispute between a bookmaker and a platform to find out who will pay their winnings. Best bet: stick with a book on our list of the most-trusted offshore sportsbooks.
