    Bet Islands A+ book

    I deposited with them on Friday on a very small amount of $125. They gave me a 100% FP bonus. This weekend I was able to turn the $125 into 2k. This morning I asked for some funds VIA ** at 10AM. They quickly emailed me back before lunch with the ***************** I have to say I have dealt with a lot of books in my time and this has to be the most efficient withdrawal I've had in awhile. I suggest anyone looking to deposit give them a shot and ask for Ryan. They are in my eye a phenomenal book and have outstanding customer service. If anyone needs more info or evidence of what I'm talking about PM me.

    Damn...And I thought most books make you wait 30 days after your first deposit, so you don't just hit and run on them.

    JJ, this is not a joke. One of my VIP reps at wagerchief contacted me about moving over to Bet Islands. I had a good track record with him form the past so I gave him a shot at this new book. I had made 2 small deposits of $150 before I just got this payout. Each time he gave me 100% FP bonuses. Then he also gave me a 100 cash bonus just for being with SBR. This time around on Friday I made my 3rd deposit with a 9x rollover on the FP. Over the weekend I got hot and ran this up to 2k. This morning I went on live chat and asked for some of my winnings. Quickly within 2 hrs I was emailed the control number. Needless to say I think everyone should give this book a shot like I did and play there. Ask for Ryan when opening up an account and depositing and if any of you guys would be so kind pm me and ill give you my account number for the referral.

    Don't be ignorant. I didn't sign up with SBR today and write this. I rarely praise books. Out of respect for the community here I'm keeping people informed of in my eyes a very positive experience. What you do with the information is your prerogative.

    A+ means:

    1. absolute safety of funds - do they keep player funds separate from their own or use them to fund their business?

    2. ability to make good sized wagers - what are their limits ? , and do they limit players who demonstrate that they know what they are doing ?

    3. truly competitive odds - can they match Pinnacle or the exchanges ?

    4. pay players promptly without charging fees

    So how many ticks does this joint get ?

    A+ to me is how quickly you can get paid after winning and with what rollover. Don't turn this into a 101 course.

    tap the brakes just a little, i think it might be a tad early for a book noone knows anything about other than they hired a guy from wager chief to be proclaimed an A+ book.

    How about US players?

    Is it difficult to deposit? Can you just use a **** (and not fax credit history, children's SS#, etc) to fund account?

    Ok, guys maybe I was a little hasty with my A+ rating as I see some of you guys are very reluctant for just taking this in for what it is. Lets recap this in baby steps.

    1) Friday I sent $125 through *********** and recieved a 100% fp bonus with a 9x rollover.

    2) This weekend I bet with a lot of volume and Sunday night my figure was 2k.

    3) 10 AM this morning I went on live chat and asked for there max ********** withdrawal.

    4) 12pm I'm emailed the **************.

    Its that simple. On a first time basis I rate this experience alone as an A+.

    Ohh...seemed like you deposited for the first time on Friday and was able to take it out on Monday which would be awesome, as I didn't think most books allowed that.

    But since you've deposited before there, this interests me very little. I'll stick with 5 dimes.

    I deposited twice before, but if I would of won then there's no hold. Believe me I don't bet with books that put a hold on funds.

    Think one of the guys who ran WagerCheif moved over to run Betisland. For what its worth.
    I heard about it last week from Paco.
    The site states that they have same day payouts.

    For someone that works for SBR....you sure aren't kept in the loop. There was a frenzy around here last week when they were giving out $100 freeplays to SBR members...all you had to do was ask for it. No deposit required.

    C'mon JJ....get your head of your arse!!

    Bottom line is that this is a book trying to make there imprint within the industry and they treated me very well. I like when books don't give you nonsense and obscene rollover requirements. I won and got paid. Thats how you increase your client size.

    i suspect this is a setup to lure unsuspecting customers into this alleged A+ book. don't doubt that anthonydiamondLC is telling the true story. however, they may have required him to post this info here to lure new bait who they will figure out a way to beat around the bush with on future deposits and wdl's.

    I don't think that's the case. There were a few people from SBR that took advantage of the freeplay they offered, met the rollover requirements quickly and were paid in about 4 hours. This isn't the first time I've heard that BetIslands paid quickly and without hassle.

    haha thats funny. Guys stop thinking to much into this. I was just happy today with the procedure so I took the initiative to give them a good write up. If you look at some of my prior posts of also praised heritage. I wish books would contact me to give them good write ups maybe I could get some more free plays!

    Yea I read that after I made the post. I didn't mean a hold on funds like that, but most times when I deposit with a CC they make you wait for 30 days or so after your first deposit to withdraw. Probably not the same with ** or westernunion

    I checked out the book, only thing I don't like is they don't have *************** or wire payout

    Please. You're talking about 2K. People always talk positive about a book when they're up.

    Based on the fact that Jon Kreta (formerly Wagerchief) is behind this book, I would give it one 'letter' higher than the rating SBR assigned it so far. SBR opened it at C-, so a B- for me. Give it one or two years of reliable history, and the book can be a solid B. An A rating requires at least several years of solid financial performance and security, in addition to excellent bookmaking.

    Jon did a good job at Wagerchief, but he's going to have to prove himself all over with this new book. Betislands is worth a shot. 50% fp up to 2K deposit, and MLB dimelines up to 180.

    I agree on the B part. It's a SOLID book, but they are missing some things I personally like, like live quarters, and they dont have some degenerate stuff like cricket or rugby. I would say most of that is because they are fairly new? I dunno!

    Overall they are pry a B+ to me.

    Good book though.

    I should have stated for US players. I bet small amounts anyway, so limits do not bother me.

    I won 12,000 from Pinnacle back in the day and they paid me neteller in hours. But that was then and this is now.

    yes it is most unfortunate for Americans that their government has done this to them

    but it doesn't change what an A book is

    if you can't play at A books then you have to manage as best you can with lower grade books if you still think it's worth playing at all but you can't go and label lower grade books A just because they are the best you can use when they remain so far below the best in the business
