January 18 , 2009 - Las Palmas (Rating B-) Upgraded - Several clients of Las Palmas (BetLasPalmas.com) write in and say they are happy with service and received pay outs for contest winnings they have accrued.  They all said that when they requested pay outs, they did have to jump through the usual "hoops"ie. copy of credit card used to make original deposit, drivers license, and sign release forms, but they got their cash within 3-4 days.
