Is it true that BetCRIS only offers the 2500 betpoint free payouts to...

2.500 betpoint free payouts?

freebie · 02-26-07, 10:30 AM

you could use the 2,500 betpoints for freeplays and other items.

Cris is making you guys wasting betpoints when payout was free on Friday.
I'm done with betcris. I'LL ONLY use them for BTP, but I doubt BTP contest will be back next year.

I haven't checked with the CS yet but I do know I tried to use points for my last W/D but to no avail. They charged the $60 and didn't take any points away from me. I'll see what the story is tonight.

Any balance qualifies if you are not a sharp bettor

The 2500 pt. free payout applies to any balance. They want you to keep a balance in there, I don't know why they would only allow a free payout if you withdraw all of it!

There are some folks who are not eligible for betpoints because they are "non recreational" bettors. These elite players are not eligible for free payouts, otherwise it does not matter what your balance is.

They won't tell you in advance if you can use 2500 points for a payout. I guess if you lose you can, but then there wouldn't be anything to pay out ?

I've also seen reports that the points for payout offer can only be done once.

Very arrogant book.

I wanted to withdrawl $1400 and using my 2500 points as a free withdrawl.....live chat told me its only for people with balances $300 and below

Looks like a new policy, as usual not posted on the website

If they want to have this policy fine, but why the hell isn't it posted on their website???

Having said that, they let me make a withdrawal without using betpoints so it looks like this is a new policy.

I had a 'free' payout for 2500 points Thursday a week ago for a four figure amount. The CS girl did approve it over the phone, but then had to ask for permission, and then approved it again. Her explanation for the second approval was that I hadn't made a withdrawal for some time. (No specific time period was mentioned!) I don't really care one way or another. Only reason I have a little action there is BTP.

Complaining to SBR about CRIS is like asking Republicans to root out corruption in the oil industry.

Why would you withdraw if your balance was under $300 ?

That reminds me of a local car dealer that says they will give you free gas for a year....if your credit is declined for buying the car !

I have heard lots of versions of this on the forums. Some reasons for being denied:

"You are up"
"You have too much money in your account"
"You have more than $4900 in your account"

It seems to be very subjective. I am just going to assume that I do not qualify and use the points for free plays.

Wow CRIS is fvcked up

I always hated them,Gyno !

I'm not allowed to say so across the street,though !

imgv94 · 02-27-07, 12:20 AM

How come?

Doug · 02-27-07, 01:46 AM

They get mad when I speak the truth about their advertisers,so I basically pulled a "Chuck Sims", and left.

No farewell speech or anything, I reserve the right to post at RX in the future, just don't post now, except for one contest I have a shot at.

I've grown tired of posting there, left SSB after many posts there, so I've left before.

I quit smoking pot a long time ago, but not by resolution, just got away from it, I'd smoke a joint in a heartbeat with you, but it's probably been a year since I took a hit off a joint, at one time I was low on weed if I had less than a quarter pound.

For now I choose not to get into RX threads, but I do read there.

I probably wont post there again ( except for contests), but I reserve the right to.

I'd like to hear Bill and John's comments on this...a free payout should be a free payout...period...

Wassymac · 02-27-07, 11:30 AM

Here's the transcript of myself and CS about my free payout request...

CS - Adrianna: Please hold on a moment while I check on that for you. I will get back to you in just a moment.
CS - Adrianna: no sir, you don't qualify for the free pay out
CS - Adrianna: the terms are that just for amounts below $300
CRxxxxxx: haha...seriously?
CS - Adrianna: and you don't have to had so many pay outs
CS - Adrianna: and your last transaction was a pay out
CRxxxxxx: where are the terms?
CS - Adrianna: there are not in the web site
CS - Adrianna: in the web site just said to contact us to see if you can get one
CRxxxxxx: so i guess that free payout is a bit pointless
CRxxxxxx: thought it might be useful
CRxxxxxx: anyways. thanks for the confirmation
CS - Adrianna: You are welcome!
CS - Adrianna: Thank you for contacting Customer Service Live Chat. Have a nice day.

The withdrawal isn't even really free if you are using YOUR points to get it.

You could get a $150 freeplay for 10k points, which could be converted to about $112 cash if you parlayed it all 8 ways on a three teamer.

So 2500 points is really worth about $28.

In effect you are paying $28 to get this free withdrawal, and they hassle you about it as an added bonus !

They are basically saying, Go Away !

I think Sean ( from Increasedodds) is right,he said ( at EOG,I think it was) that they only want large accounts now.

Effectively paying $28 to get out under $300 is not smart, isn't that just about what ** would charge ( around 10%) ?

I've never used **, likely never will.

I'm really dissapointed with CRIS's decision regarding this...
