    BetJamaica is closed

    This morning a lot of you guys are reading SBR front page or emails from Greek and BetJam about your accounts closing... Sad day for folks that enjoyed one of the originals in the business.

    In terms of balances, it's pretty straight forward that Heritage has essentially "invited" US players from these books to bet there or to request their funds. Those that are able to play at Heritage, which is invite only, are pretty happy. Like BetJam, Heritage has high level of service and a good reputation since it came online in 2001.

    Hate to hear this news, Bill. Bet Jamaica was always a great book. I know US based players at The Greek are now invited to Heritage, but does that include US based Bet Jamaica players as well?

    Why did betjamaica close? This is obviously the end of the industry to take down a book like BJ

    Yes, Heritage holds balances for both. Non-US players to thegreek.com and everyone else to Heritagesports.com

    What a bunch of bullshit. I have accounts at all of them now I dont have a Greek account and I have TWO heritage accounts. I love the Greek. Heritage is player friendly but their lines dont come close to the Greeks. I have a feeling Heritage's player friendly customer service is about to take a HUGE nosedive. In fact it is as we speak. Been on hold for 15 minutes, they are not prepared for what is about to happen.
