Test Email Submission

Hey,

I'm new to your site and wanted to ask a few questions before I deposit. I want to bet on the NBA finals but don't want to bet again until next season so i dont want to be stuck having to bet a ton of baseball crap. What bonus can i get that doesnt have a big rollover? How much can i wager on sides and total on the Dallas-Heat finals?

Does your book offer quarter lines? What can I bet on those?? Also...Do you guys do weekend withdrawals? If i ask for money on friday night by Neteller when woud that sucker hit my neteller account?


Thanks,
Bucky McCarthy

Comments: WSEX answered Bucky's one email with two responses, one from each of the appropriate departments. Each question was answered efficiently. Bucky was pleased that WSEX did not use a long sales pitch when WSEX informed him they did not have the wagering option he was looking for.

Comments: Carib's Jeneen asked Bucky to send another inquiry through the website for the bonus information. By this time Bucky has already decided to deposit at a different book but will use the online form if he decides to look at Carib in the future.

Comments: Bucky was pleased to see Pointbet's email in his inbox in under 10 minutes. However, he is left to wonder if Pointbet bothered to read the email he sent. Bucky is confused by the statement: "you must wager the amount of the initial deposit on Sportsbook in 30 days".

Comments: Ultimate-Odds offered an accommodating bonus plan, which may have been the reason for the lengthy wait time. Ultimate-Odds lost points for not informing Bucky how long it takes to process a Neteller withdrawal.
