This program is now CLOSED! Do not invest there!
BetCruisez is a very interesting investment program. They make their money by utilizing robots to play poker at online poker games. The idea of a robot, “bot” for short, is an intriguing one as, when playing poker, we human beings have a number of shortcomings when compared to machines. We can’t remember all the cards that have been played nor can we instantly determine the probability of winning based on the number of unplayed cards. We are also emotional, get tired, and, no matter how good we are, still make mistakes. A bot has NONE of these weaknesses — as well as a bunch of additional ones. So, the idea of a bot playing poker for us makes very very good sense.
But, in order to develop a good bot, you have to be a great mathematician and you have to know a lot about cards — poker in this case. In addition, you have to know the ins and outs of working with online poker game websites. BetCruisez claims to have all this together and, based on the information in their website, this appears to be the case. The flavor of the website is that of a person who is technically savvy — rather than the usual sales person trying their best to convince you that the people in their program are the best in the world at what they do. Betcruisez simply lays out the facts and tells you what they can offer you if you choose to invest with them. I’m a bit of a technician myself and confess to being prejudiced. But, I prefer this approach…
All this said, when it comes to the investment plans offered by BetCruisez, things aren’t too clear. First of all, the website states that “you can choose from our Investment Plans depending on the level of income you want to earn.” However, search as I may on the website or in the account pages, I can only find one investment plan which has a term of one week and pays 6% interest at the end of the week. This is another contradiction as the website says that “You earn profit 7 days / week.” However, in reality, you have to wait till the end of the week to receive your earnings. There really isn’t anything wrong with the investment plan. However, assuming that what I’ve come up with is correct, it takes a little while to figure things out. It would be great if the Admin of the program would carefully read through the script and clarify these details. I am sure this confusion scares a few investors away.
There are other minor points of confusion. At a few spots in the website the minimum deposit is said to be $25. However, in the FAQ, $30 is given. This isn’t really very important. However, it’s a detail that should be straightened out. Another confusing point is that the “guarantee” promises “a minimum profit on Investments of 0.1% per day under any circumstances and technical state of our system.” However, the investment plan implies that a person will earn 6% per week no matter what. That’s a lot more than 0.1% per day.
At one point in the FAQ, the website does a calculation estimating the expected daily profits by their system of bots. It comes out to between “0.7% – 1.3% per day.” On a weekly basis, multiplying by seven, this comes to between 4.9% – 9.1% per day. The investment plan promises 6% per day which is probably doable. However, the investment plan promises 40% of the bot profits. That would only be between 2.0% – 3.6% which is BELOW the promised 6%. Something doesn’t match. But, the answer to this might be in the FAQ which states that “Profit in betcruisez.com is not fixed. Our calculator calculates the approximate yield depending on the average % of our daily income for the last month. You can look for the exact yields over the past days, months and years inside the “Robot Earnings History” section.” So, the 6% that is promised now (as I write this) might be based on very successful bot earnings of the past month and, for investments in the future, the percent might go down (or up!). I looked for the “Robot Earnings History” section of the website but couldn’t find it.
Well, enough on the inconsistencies of the website. Even though there appear to be a lot of them, I feel they are innocent mistakes due simply to carelessness of the writer and the fact that the online program is just getting off the ground. I don’t think they are deliberate attempts to deceive the investor — as they don’t result in any special benefit to BetCruisez. They are confusing; that’s all. Again, the Admin of the program should thoroughly go over the website script looking for these points of confusion and straighten them out as soon as possible. As I’ve already indicated, these inconsistencies are probably scaring potential investors away from the program — which I feel is a pretty neat one! It certainly makes sense to correct these problem areas.
As far as how the investment program — as I see it — works, it is extremely simple. It pays you 6% of your deposit in one shot at the end of one week — seven calendar days. So, for an investment of $100, you would receive $106 back after the week is up. As far as HYIPs go, this is a very modest return. However, this is where I feel that the “techies” running this program are wisely not promising you a return that they can’t possibly generate with their system of bots. Apparently, they are programmed to generate modest but consistent profits. It is far better to earn 6% per week for a year than twice that in a program that will only survive for two or three weeks. Let’s hope that the Admin is thinking the way I do!
As I already indicated, the minimum investment in the program is (probably) $25. The minimum withdrawal is a mere $0.10 — ten cents. As I always say in these reviews, this is probably a silly amount, as ten cents has absolutely no purchasing power, at least in the US. A minimum of $1 would seem to be low enough — and would save the Admin a lot of “paperwork” processing silly withdrawals. This would seem to be especially the case with BetCruisez as the website indicates that withdrawals “will be completed in 1-5 working days.” That’s pretty slow for a HYIP and implies to me that withdrawals are handled manually. I certainly wouldn’t want to waste my time processing a withdrawal request for ten cents! BetCruisez has a very satisfactory array of payment processors that includes Bitcoin, Perfect Money, Payeer, OKPAY, AdvCash, and PayCo. This is another point of confusion as, at other points in the website, a different list is given.
BetCruisez has an unusual affiliate program. The unique thing about it is that, in addition to earning a percent of the deposits made by people you refer, you also make a percent of the PROFITS earned by people in the first three levels of your downline. These commissions based on profit are quite small. As an example, if a person invests $100, his profit will be $6 (6%) of this over the one week term of the investment plan. Affiliate commissions will range from 1% to 5% of this or from $0.06 to $0.30 — almost too small to think about, unless, of course, you have a $10,000 investor in your downline. This again appears to me to be the work of the “techies” that put this website/program together. They are being extremely careful not to over commit themselves with respect to cash outlays from the program. Following is the description of the affiliate program as given in the website.
There are 2 options of the program: for regular members and for Representatives.
For regular members:
3% of the referral’s deposit amount
5% of the profits of your 1st level partners
2% of the profits of your 2nd level partners
1% of the profit of your 3rd level partnersFor Representatives:
5% of the referral’s deposit amount
10% of the profits of your 1st level partners
3% of the profits of your 2nd level partners
2% of the profits of your 3rd level partners
In order to obtain the higher earnings of a Representative, an investor has to have an active deposit of at least $1,000 and must apply for Representative status in the “Become a Representative” section of his account area.
Contact options are limited to a contact form. Requests for support are only addressed during business hours (none on Sunday) and a response is promised within 48 hours. This is not good at all and the folks at Betcruisez should take measures to improve this. The hours of operation of support service should be increased significantly since there are investors from all over the world (and the time zone of support should be given!) and the turnaround time for responding to email requests should be decreased, also significantly.
Well, as I’ve indicated a number of times, I rather like BetCruisez because it appears to be operated by people with a logical technical background. However, this said, there are many many areas where the website is confusing and the services offered are inadequate. The Admin should definitely attend to these deficiencies. If you are looking for a conservative investment program that might be based on real technical know-how, this could be the program for you. But, please do some research beforehand to help you decide if this is a wise decision. If you do invest, our advice is always to make your investments a part of a larger portfolio and never to invest more than you can afford to lose. Good Luck!
