    Heritage Sports - cold calling with bonus offer.

    I cashed out over $2K last week at Heritage and this week they called me offering a 30% bonus for a deposit of $300 or more.

    I never received any calls from this book before and thought they never cold called customers.

    Any other Heritage players get a cold call this week?

    I don't plan on making a deposit with them, mainly because of the fees charged for receiving a **/** payout, cost me $150 to get $2k!!! Yikes!!! I only initially deposited $100 and ran it up to 2K so it wasn't all bad.

    If they offered Moneybookers I'd play there more, for now I'll stick with books that pay quickly via Moneybookers (Pinnacle, Carib, 5Dimes, etc.).

    if what you say is true you would get $500

    so many other books do it but this one has never called me.

    i would take a free $500 from this book and not be worried about getting stiffed at all.

    PHUCK! I deleted the phone message left for me from the guy that called.

    I just lost $500!

    The number that called was blocked and sent at 5:48 pm my local time Monday afternoon, I checked my messages at 9pm and deleted the message without thinking about the guarantee!

    I'm gonna call in the morning and ask about this, I cannot prove it was Heritage - I'm going by what the guy on the phone said in the message.

    I'm in Canada and customer service told me they could send money orders (note the plural) and it would take a few days. I don't want to wait while the bank puts a hold on them after waiting days to receive them.

    Like I said before, I prefer moneybookers - money goes straight into my bank account in a couple of days with no holds.

    Thanks for reminding me of this, I called Heritage this morning and they admitted that someone called me offering me this bonus, the CS rep found it strange because I am a current player and have been active with them lately.

    End result - I'm getting the $500 freeplay as requested.

    Heritage = great!

    Big Daddy, thanks pal.

    LOL.

    Waiting for the spin. You never see the $500 Betplom.

    I think this average book should win a most shills award though. I have never seen so many players ostensibly excited about so little...

    what?

    1. i'm not a shill i bet real money with this book.
    2. im pretty sure he said he got the $500 i cant confirm it but seems odd to make it up but it is forumville
    3. they have the policy on the website for all to see.

    4. they have $500 promos if you have an account with them and you are not betting $500 on those games you hate money.
    5.they pay you by check next day just like jam and other good top books (next day) one free a month

    Sorry Big Daddy, looks like you are correct, he did get the $500.

    Good for them, paying out when they were wrong.

    I believe you are a player. Just I have played at Heritage myself, I never found anything extraordinary about it, and them not taking moneybookers/paying in moneybookers is silly IMO. For those of us not in the USA, moneybookers is the new neteller. "Don't run a book without it".

    FYI:

    I did get the $500 freeplay after first suggesting to them I'd be happy with $50, they said no, a deal is a deal and gave me the $500 - played for a few days and lost it.

    Heritage lost nothing on the deal and got some great publicity.

    I discussed this on the phone with Kyle and he said they looked into moneybookers but most of their players reside in the USA so moneybookers wouldn't be very practical.

    If they did offer an e-wallet funding option I'd be inclined to give them more action, I told them its not very convenient having to go out to a ** or ** location (and likely wait in line) to send funds when I can fund all my other books from the comfort of my own home with my credit card or moneybookers.

    I'm waiting to hear back on the other deposit methods they offer.

    You can always do wire or send a cashiers check via carrier.

    Yeah, but those methods are not convenient, a wire means a trip to the bank and waiting in line.
    Same thing with cashiers cheque.

    I'm used to sending money instantly via moneybookers or via credit card via my computer without physically having to go to a bank.

    Same thing when withdrawing, moneybookers sends the funds to my bank account with no holds and it gets there in a couple of days of me requesting a payout.
    Centrebet/Ladbrokes and other Gibraltar based books send me payouts directly to my credit card!
    This is the most convenient.

    While I like Heritage alot its much easier/convenient for me to get money to/from other excellent books - Pinny, Matchbook, DSI, BetPhoenix etc.

    Like I said (and I told Heritage as well) moneybookers makes things simple and I'd play at Heritage more if they offered it.

    This thread is going to get out of hand.... there will be dishonest posters trying to say they got cold called. Heritage is top notch and the best in the business. I wish other books would stop calling me trying to get my business. They have zero chance of me depositing any money with them as long as Heritage is around.

    In no way was I meaning you, just letting you know. I am just saying in general. This is inviting the scammers and dishonest people. Heritage knows what they are doing and can tell by accounts who is what and if they are a loyal customer or not. I have talked to Mike many times, he is a great guy. Hope it works out for you.

    Just want to be clear... I have AND have NEVER had any issues with them at all... A random cold call from a book I really enjoy is obviously not the end of the world at all... Was just pointing it out.

    No one should be able to lie about being cold called flyingilli. They were called from a script with certain offers.

    Obviously, some players have been. Who shouldn't have been.

    Why did the book cold call anyways? Most books don't......
