    Betjamaica Loyalty Program

    Wonder what should I do. I don't play with them too often, but then I do I put $1-2k on a game. I might get 2-3 games in a week. Their freeplay bonus is play 100 games and get one freeplay up to $200. It takes the average of all your 100 games played.

    I was wondering is it worth it to give them $19k worth of $1-2k action and place a series of $2 bets to fill up the 100 games. Or would that be frown upon?

    They do not care about the amount. However, I question why you care about $200 freeplay when you are wagering 1-2K per game?

    Value is value. If you bet 100 games and expect to have a 5% hold, getting a freeplay like that might increase it to 6%.

    I care. It is all the little things that you add up that counts, when considering can you beat the book. List goes as.

    1. Safety of Funds
    2. Line price
    3. Bonus
    4. Rollover
    5. Fees

    Interesting that they don't care about changing bet size like this. It seems worth it to me. You might as well get the $200 free play for every $20,000 you bet.

    bet-jam is great. If you are wagering the amounts stated - just call and ask up front-no problem making 5.00 wagers to get to 100 wagers, you earned it. gl

    they do care trust me i was the reason they changed the rules

    try the $2 bets a ton of them anyways and expect a popup having you call scotty.

    i think the loyalty program is a good perk but i also believe it is unfair in a way.

    this used to read

    "All customers are automatically enrolled into the Paradise Loyalty Club where they will receive a free bet for every 100 sports bets placed. This free bet is calculated on the players average bet size for the last 100 wagers, bets will be placed to a maximum $200 free bet. To redeem or inquiry about Loyalty rewards, please email support@betjm.com or check with one of our live chat operators; Monday through Friday between 12pm and 4pm EST."

    well they changed it along time ago to this

    "manipulating loyalty wagers"

    All customers are automatically enrolled into the Paradise Loyalty Club where they will receive a free bet for every 100 sports bets placed.

To redeem or inquiry about Loyalty rewards, please email support@betjm.com or check with one of our live chat operators; Monday through Friday between 12pm and 4pm EST.
    ** Please note: That only a maximum of 10 free wagers can be redeemed in 7 day period. Wagers on both sides of a game are not allowed. No correlated or manipulated wagers will be tolerated. If an account is correlating or manipulating loyalty wagers it will result in all existing and future loyalty wagers to be void and account no longer eligible for the club. Freeplay amounts cannot be split up into smaller amounts or accumulated to be placed one large wager. Accounts must have an active wagering account in the month prior with at least $25 in Real Money wagering action to be eligible for loyalty wagers. Loyalty Wagers counting system technically recognizes the first leg of rolling wagers and if bets only. All loyalty wagers are required to be rolled over 4x’s before a withdrawal can be made**

    Also, the "greatness" of this book (trust me I have my complaints) was solidified when they gave me a 1600.00 freeplay...that's right!

    1.5 years of wagering unaware of the loyalty program...account credited with this large freeplay even though I didn't
    even ask them to review my whole wagering history.

    I am opening an account with them this week. Good to hear about this program ahead of time. Since someone said they got their loyalty bonus in after playing for a long time, do I have to ask for it or does it now come to automatically?

    You need to request it every 100 bets

    Let's count with $1500/game. That's around 13 bets with big money and 87 bets with $2.

    I asume you wanna get a $200 freebet, so your average bet size should be $200.

    Your average will be: ($19k+$174)/100=191.74$

    This is smaller then our $200 goal, so you need to solve this equation:
    ($19k+87x)/100=$200
    87x=$1,000
    x=$11.5

    So to reach the average 200 dollar you should be a series of 11.5 dollar bets.

    But count your bets precisly! Couse the rule is this:
    "This free bet is calculated on the players average bet size for the last 100 wagers."

    And after you reached the 100 bets you should contact support immediately to recieve your reward.

    That's a good point for the book. Maybe you don't need to contact support when reaching 100 bets as I wrote before.

    You can get up to 10 bets a week at a time so just don't go more than 1000 wagers I guess

    Wow, glad I read this, I just got a $1000 Free Play.

    Are parlays allowed on the free play?

    If not, then to maximize the free play, one should find a high moneyline that doesn't have too much vig, right? Assuming betting underdogs, EV = (betjamaica odds) / (true odds +100) so if jamaica is +600 and the pinnacle no vig lines is +700, your edge is 600/800 = 0.75

    Good timing, the tennis lines have some big moneylines now. Not sure I want to risk it all on Baghditis +1700 even though that is an .875 EV. Several other .75 to .78 ones.

    Is that for everyone, or do you need to choose it when signing up?

    Is it too late to ask for the NBA finals one?
