Attention Bookmaker Players

I like it! Diamond Baby...Obviously I am not a pro if I'm still getting 'em

LMAOFISH · 01-23-09, 12:50 PM

I'm platinum, it will be interesting to see exactly what you can use these frequent flyer miles for. I wonder if it will even be available to me as I'm canadian.

Of course the cash is much worse value then the freeplays used to be. I'm not surprised.

New member here at SBR, but I just noticed the new betpoints set up. Pretty cool. Im a Platinum at this point, probably b/c Ive been with them for so long.

I am platinum as well... unless i am missing something, bet points are worth more when used with gift cards instead of cash bonus..? I am sure most people would use the money right back in the sportsbook, so why have more value in the gift cards.

Hmm ok, an edit above me went over this now

You answered your own question...Because most players would rather use the money right back in the sports book.

Do you think the book is going to give you the most value for what you want the most???

Um...the answer to that would be NO. The book is going to set the rules so that they (the rules) benefit them (the book) the most...

I thought Bookmaker had a great freeplay system every 4k a 50 dollar bet not bad why change?

is it worth it opinions wanted??

JerseyShop101 · 01-23-09, 03:06 PM

I like it!! Free cash immediately based on your action!!! Got my cash in 1 second!!

Also it now says that payouts are free. (No points needs for the free payout)
I wonder if M/** is included as it only says bankwires are not included.

Thanks Bookmaker!

Hello Doc,

People were guessing why they were a certain level. I was simply stating there is a FAQ explaining all this.

I edited my post as the post above me was edited. Yours was posted after I starting typing mine.

I guess that is one way to look at it. I would think most people look at it as, Hey I get more money with Option B (gift cards) than Option (A) money back, so I will choose Option B. This could definitely not be the case though.

They cut the value of the pts by nearly half and you people are happy?

i know what a bunch of maroons. bookmaker has gone from being a shit book to an even shittier book all in one day.

durito · 01-23-09, 05:36 PM

assuming you still get betpts, it sucks.

thadchr · 01-23-09, 05:42 PM

Agreed that the new points are less valuable (it's pure math), bit not half as valuable. You have to remember that freeplays force a play--you only get the money you win. With the new system, if you opt for $50 cash back, you can either keep the %50, or wager it and end up with almost $100. Thus, it's very similar to $100 in free play.

the free plays are worth 75% to anyone with half a brain

10,000 pts got you a $150 free play = $112.50
10,000 pts now you get you $61 or $69.

Even if you donk through a 5x rollover on the free play at -110 you are still left with $79 vs $61 now.

Pass, give me REBATES

JerseyShop101 · 01-23-09, 08:11 PM

How many books actually have a loyalty program anyway?

I only know of this one and Betjamaica's every 100 play (freeplay of your average bets).

I guess we should be more pissed at the books that don't have one.

rm18 · 01-23-09, 08:17 PM

I am diamond at least that is better than platinum I guess.

rm18 · 01-23-09, 08:19 PM

$500 gift card for 65k is worse but not that much I think that would get about $800 in free plays maybe.

rm18 · 01-23-09, 08:21 PM

30k airlines miles for less than $1000 I do not fly like that but seems like and unreal deal.

Hey there players, just want to inform you something about levels in CRIS. Those who signed up with us before the changes will be in the platinum level, those who sign up from today and on will start at the gold level and diamod players are those able to accumulate more than 300000 bonus points within a year. but, I'll pass you fellahs the chart in regargds to leveling up later when I get to work.

So I will drop out of diamond eventually? I do not see myself betting that much at bookmaker in the near future

BY the way, these bonuses are not freeplays, they'll end up in your account balance, they have no rollover and you can treat that like the money you deposited, that means that y'all be able to use it in poker, casino, sports, horses and you can even withdraw it!

Ced - is the program still for recreational players only? If you have been kicked off the old system, can you be let back in?

CS-Cedrick · 01-24-09, 12:16 AM

That's one thing that has not been taken in consideration, let me ask my boss about it and I'll get to you tomorrow, sorry for that but that's a good point.

free payouts...nice

cincy · 01-24-09, 02:14 AM

I just logged into my account and it says "Your BetPoints are not enabled. Please contact Customer Service" and it also says I have 0 betpoints.

I wonder what happened to my BetPoints that existed before the switch.

Did anyone else get this message?

Does anyone know why I need to contact them?

boulay50 · 01-24-09, 02:19 AM

Did you win a substantial amount of coin with them?
