      I have them. they are great a paying out fast. They have awesome early bird bonuses (as much as 40%) b-4 football season. The only down side are there lines are not that great.

          Very aggressive marketing. Not nearly as 'attentive' once your money is in. They had a safety issue earlier this year, and I had just made a deposit. They didn't allow me the advertised free Neteller withdrawal, and instead insisted that I pay 8% (!) Neteller fees, or roll the money over. Glad I'm out of there. Never again.

            1 of those books that tells you about 70% bonuses, and it turns out as a 20% freeplay or something like that with a 30 day hold.
            The other 50% are for "refer a friend" etc...

            Late lines, stupid neteller fee rules, annoying marketing...i see no reason to play there

              I travel with my job and this place calls and calls and calls when I'm gone. My wife will tell them I'm out of town for a week and they keep calling. They literally call every day (sometimes twice) until they get a hold of me. It's ridiculous.

              On top of that, they told me I'd have 5% juice on every football game all season, and I never saw that once.

              I'd recommend staying away from First Fidelity and their "100% Bonus" consisting of 35% Free Play, 15% Referral, 20% Cash Back on Football Losses, and whatever the hell else b.s. they offer.

                It's their (VERY) late lines that does it for me, not to mention that earlier this month when I called-in, they told me they didn't want my business unless I was prepared to 'Western Union' a guy in Lima, Peru - $10,000.

                  Thoroughly dislike them

                  I joined SBR today, specifically so I could my twopenneth into this thread. Before depositing I asked all the appropriate question of Youwager regarding rollover requirements for the initial bonus, wagering limits and whether it was 'action' or 'risk' that counted towards the rollover.

                  My mistake was not to copy the chat I had with the customer service rep (actually it was some top guy whose name I can't recall because this was several months ago) who clearly advised that it was 'risk' and not 'action' that counted towards rollover.

                  When it came to making a withdrawal after completing the rollover, Youwager refused to accept that they had advised 'risk' . They told me it was company policy etc etc to have 'action' as counting towards rollover and that I had several thousand dollars left to wager. I would not stand down on this because to my mind I had asked clearly and been advised to the contrary prior to depositing and asked them to refer to the initial chat conversation.

                  Their reaction was to point blank refuse to accept my argument, accuse me of being a money line favourite scalper (rubbish because my wagers had been on dogs, favs and spreads) and halved my wagering limit until I met the new rollover figure. (This conversation I did copy).

                  So it doesnt pay to ask them to see reason. They will just bully you. My only inner chuckle is that I took more money out of the book when I completed the rollover to the new figure.

                  My advice is to keep away from people who treat their customers with disdain. Needless to say I havent gone back.

                      Watch out for YouWager!

                      I had the worst experience with YouWager. I've been betting for awhile now with the good books like Cris, Pinn, VIP, etc. But decided to try out a B rated book like Youwager to get the big sing up bonus. That was a mistake depositing with them. After 3 days they suspended online access to my account and told me that I had to call in my bets. I talked to the manager there (Nate) and he was very rude, and he yelled at me and accused me of scalping the bonus by betting the free play on a big underdog and coverring the otherside with a bet in Pinnacle.

                      First of all...the nerve of him to even discuss my bettng habits with Pinnacle or tell me how to bet my free play bonus. If they suspended accounts for betting underdogs on the free plays they should clearly WARN bettors that they would do this.

                      They were very offensive and accusatory and unfair. I had to take out my money and forfeit half of my bonus just to not have to deal with them. I will stick to the A books from now on.

                      I hope anyone else here who might be attracted to YouWager's large bonuses beware .... if you bet like you know what you are doing, they will suspend your account.

                              And that 40% bonus would be what exactly HP?
                              Iam pretty sure its a freeplay, but is it a 40% FP or is it something like a 20% FP + a 20% insurance?

                                All I know is some guy names J.D calls me up evry other week and leaves me a message about some"great" bonus they have waiting for me. I used them last year and I gues they are alright. But I am gambling less this year and with Pinnacle/CRIS I really dont have a need for a third book.

                                      Right, the BetUs Bonus...100% means 20% free-play, 20% to refer a friend and 60% if your friend refers his Gramma.

                                      Lots of good feedback in this thread. YouWager is good to a lot of player post-bonus but the sales department sets the CS department up for some pissed off players.

                                        they spam your house with junk almost weekly
                                        webiste also sucks, and is slow especially if you have to make a quick pick b4 game time.

                                          I see daily real juicy lines here. But i have heard a lot of bad stuff about this bookie somehow. I really do not care about slow payouts really or bad support or whatever as long as i actually get the money eventually.

                                          Can i feel safe putting in 1k$ here or not?

                                              Gotta be the cheesiest advertising gimmick running. I don't want any gimmicks when I want to cash out. Something about YouWager just rubs me the wrong way. Stick with the SBR A-list.

                                                I dont really care about small details like advertising that you throw away in 2 sec and stuff like that. Just want to know if the money is safe.

                                                      listen Yoshi I'm taking small steps
                                                      went from ESB (english, suckers. betting) who ripped me for 2k
                                                      to FF (who have never ripped me off, yet)
                                                      to also having a CRIS (what can u say primo number #1)

                                                      ....think what Ill do for next year is have my bigger bankrolls with Pinny and Cris, and my smaller with FF (to take advantage of the bonuses) what do you think??

                                                          These guys have been around a long time, and are real old school bookies. They are well known for paying fast.
