    Bookmaker.com ok and safe for USA residents?
    Hello new poster here...

    I am looking to do some recreational betting on football and baseball and maybe other sports and after doing some research I decided on bookmaker.com.

    I have already read the review and searched the forums and all seems good with them but i wanted to be EXTRA safe as I prob will bank wire money to them sometimes this week.

    Just wanted to get some last minute opinions before i send the money.

    Mainly are they safe and trustworthy and prompt with payouts.
    And as a USA resident should i be aware of any issues? I know know some sites wont accept you if you live in the US

    I have already done my research .. again just being EXTRA carefull


    TIA

        Bookmaker is top notch, though the odds aren't quite as good as some others.

          I can't fault you for making such a fine selection deciding on playing at Bookmaker, although I feel DSI would be the the best choice if you planing on wagering baseball.

          DSI is a sister book of Bookmaker, so the security of funds issues falls under one. The reason I say suggest playing at DSI over Bookmaker is because they offer a dimeline, while Bookmaker .20 cent lines. Other than that they are virtually the same in regards to payouts, loyalty program, ect,ect. The only real big difference between them would be that DSI has a little bit lower limits and the lines are slightly different.

                What did they give you 35% bonus for? I have to make a max deposit tomorrow with them and would like to ask for this one if it's something particular.

                  I talked to Peter if you need an extension # I can send it to you (I dont know if its kosher to give it on a post...I dont know all the silent rules about this sort of thing)...Some kind of promotional deal for tourney...I needed to deposit somewhere and they called me out of the blue with this offer (hadnt dealt with them in long time) so I made the easy decision....

                    700 freeplay on that deposit sounds solid. I'll see what I can manage tomorrow via their lovely live chat. LOL.

                          I doubt anything will change by Friday sir, because BookMaker is as solid as they come.

                            True, bookmaker is an absolutely class act, betpoints will add up fast if you are an action junkie like most of us degenerates which results in free plays. The only possible problem with them is expensive fast payout options, but as long as you don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks for a reg. mail check which is free then they are as solid as they come. They apparently have an ACH bank transfer option they offer for free which is supposed to take 3 days to send to your bank account. Anyone out there use the ACH payout option with bookmaker that could give us some insight into it?

                                they seem to be giving out double bet points now, so this is really a -106 book right now

                                  Bookmaker = BetCris.... so yeah they're solid.

                                  But they do get annoying with sales calls so give em a fake number or something.

                                        Granted that sorta sucks, but better than nothing. Anyone know of a timeframe for bookmaker checks as I'm thinking of cashing some of mine out, for some reason I always win at books that I am new too and unfamiliar with their payout procedures.

                                          They make you wait 7 days plus to get paid.

                                          Fast payouts are youwager.com

                                              Are they safe = Yes

                                              Are they OK = eh

                                              I would not recommend them for baseball because of 20-cent lines. If you feel you must play with a CRIS family book, go with DSI.

                                              Or, since you say you are a recreational bettor, I don't think you could do better than 5 Dimes. I would also recommend Matchbook, but I am not sure if you are comfortable with exchanges.

                                                Thanks for the advice Lt Profits....I will defiantly look into 5 Dimes they look like they might have better lines..Maybe ill have an account on both
