Rebate Wager is shady company with a prick for an owner. I'd avoid. If they didn't have a "paid" add on SBR no one would be taking about this site and they'd be rated C at best, probably worst.

I have a very positive view of Rebatewager. Even counting for the rounding, they compensate in many ways. For example, the bonus get rounded UP (I deposit $250, they give me 25% freeplay and rebate = $63, instead of $62.50). That is 1 full dollar in my favor. And anyone can minimize the damage of the rounding. Just bet a few dollars more or less and you will find an amount with less that 10 cents shaved. I would have to check carefully my spreadsheet, but I think I am slightly above in the rounding overall.
Besides, the promos are great and there are some good lines (MLB +180/-190!) In the balance, I am very happy with rebatewager and will continue giving them my business.Comment -
Guys Rebatewager gives more free money away than any book in the history of offshore gambling
Cut the shit before Blackie pulls away from site
Hopefully he will look into rounding issues with a software upgradeComment -
NO
My only complaint yesterday was that it was Thursday afternoon and they didn't have their lines up for Saturdays games (which in my opinion is a fair complaint, others may disagree). Other than that, have had no problems and like the book.Comment -
I can finally speak on a payout situation.
I wanted to see how this card works and I went online to chat with David at RW yesterday to do a withdrawl. I didn't want much just enough to see how it worked and mainly because I had concerns about dealing with the debit card.
From the time David said ok that should do it and I said bye and called to check the money was there. I'm talking less than 10 minutes, it was pretty cool. Really impressed with the speed and efficiency of the withdrawl.Comment -

Too much bs in this industryComment -
Rebatewager paid me in 4 hours........this book is far from shady. they dont even have a rigged casino. you know why tonnny. cause they dont even have a casino, you know how many shmucks get saved by that. plentyComment -
The fact that they pay does not make them any less shady.
If their operation does any sort of volume at all, the money they are throwing at contest and advertising with is money they've cheated a lot of people not smart enough to know the difference.
He comes in this forum all hard and minimizing the issue and gets support from a few shills and several losers chiming in to defend him he just needs to throw their broke asses a few tiny freerolls and contests to gain their support.
It doesn't change the fact that they are skimming a shit load of money and not everyone is going to realize it.
As I pointed out before risk $25 @ -110 you end up paying -113.64, risk $100 @ -110 you end up paying -111.11.
Personally I don't give a **** about Rebate Wager, barely knew they existed and doubt they want my action so this is not some they stole my pennies cry. Its that they are taking advantage of gamblers for huge amounts of cash, be it pennies at a time. He comes in all hard and defers blame but, bottom line he knows damn well what it does for their books.Comment -
of course it does. i got a free payout and never even had to send my ID. i even took a 100% freeplay bonus and rolled it over and im in the positive. still they didnt hassle me at all......if u are so concerned about the rounding, make your bets to the closest value to .01................so you lose .01 everybet, oh no

Seriously Dac........ Payout speed is not a consideration for you since you never get a payout.
Blackie's model is unique, and some may like it, and some may not, but either way, he is a solid option to have and we need competition amongst books, or you will see even less freeplays and promos than you see today. I happen to like Rebatewager/Blackdog, and my only complaint would be that they need to get the lines up sooner, otherwise they are fine.Comment -
How is it that people are saying that payout speed doesn't matter? there was a time a few years back that I had to wait 3 weeks to get my payout from Bodog. Your telling me that you have no problem waiting even a week for your money? I don't give a shit if I need the money or not, I want my money ASAPComment -
Not sure as only a handful of my accounts are post up, I'm not in US, and I cash out 4-5 times per year from actual post ups (Betfair, Matchbook, Bodog the main three I post up, and then a few random ones for bonuses) so maybe payout speed is a problem you guys face. Still being shady and when you payout out are two entirely separate things. If a company can't payout for 3 weeks or w/e then that's a totally separate issue than whether or not they are shady.
Rebate Wager = Shady
Bodog = Maybe has payout issues? (Actually for Moneybookers Bodog payments come to me super fast, so probably a US issue *certainly not because shady*).Comment -
good book, paid out quickly, no complaints

Don't like the limits so I don't play there but everything else seems fine. Though the recent talk is pretty shady.Comment -
RW pays FAST , maybe the fastest in the industry
I played there for a week once but they were afraid to take a real bet (but covered in their rules) so I got out. Asked for a W/D and got it in <8 hrsComment
