        They dont give bonuses on book to book transfers(didnt find that out until I did a transfer there). I transferred $2k from BetJamaica and they did not give me a bonus even though I had never funded my account at Bookmaker before. Fortunately, they allowed me to withdraw via a check within a couple of days, without wagering anything at Boomaker.

          I deposited $500 during the Holiday bonus promotion Bookmaker ran during December. I didn't receive the promised bonus. I let it go; I figured I had better things to do than vainly beg for bonuses from poorly paid receptionists at offshore sportsbooks.

          Sure enough, I received a sales call from a Bookmaker representative two weeks later, asking me to deposit again, and offering a bonus if I did. When I asked him if he could look into the bonus I did not receive earlier, he told me that I had to take that up with customer service. He was in sales, and did not have that kind of authority.

          I've given up on bonuses. Just give me competitive odds and a good line on the game I am betting.

            if vip represant threat you like that i would fine action elswhere.. i mean.. good fair books give losing players all kinda bonuses, gadgets and trips for your action only you bet enough and depositing $4000 should atleast flag you as somewhat semi highroller.. also this "vip represantive" is just another marketing trick to make customers think they are all that important.. if you meet a real vip represant with authorities you would never changed your book again..

                RebateWager = Best customer service

                Big books do not give a damn , small books mean great service and fast payouts.

                  Unfortunately it's been the industry standard not to give bonuses on transfers for many years. A transfer is often a credit from one book to another and usually won't help them gain any business they wouldn't already get. It also can leave the receiving book, which is almost always bookmaker, holding the bag on the withdrawal fees. They become a stop on the way out. For it to make business sense it has to be barebones showing the player actually wants to play. On a positive note, Bookmaker removed the rollover requirement for incoming transfers which is very uncommon.

                  Not to mention, 1st and 10 is sharp, even if hes playing like a square.

                    All you have to do is go on live chat. Takes 2 minutes. Its well worth it.

                      i havent played there for a while, because they temporarily blocked my account, because they accused me of using wrong personal information, logging in with different ips , etc...
                      Obv complete bullshit, but i'm not too keen on playing there to send them a copy of my id and a verification of my adress,
                      lots of other great outs available.

                            I'm not sure how they calculated that daily figure @ 200. Maybe during baseball but my average for football is 400 to 500

                              I always go to live chat before depositing and ask if I'm eligible for a bonus (if I want a bonus). Certain books I don't want to be tied in to I never ask for a bonus.

                                I agree...sometimes it is better to play just straight up to avoid hassles during a withdraw request
