    I am offically done playing at Bookmaker
    I am sick of the shady bonus rules, bad customer service, harassing phone calls....here is my latest experience with them. I deposited $50 twice in a day totaling $100...all I was asking was sportsbook bonus for the deposits I made....but they have shady bonus rules which keep changing. Here is the manner in which they treat customers...I have deposited several thousands in this book and I am a platinum member here and this is the way they treat me....I am done with this book.


    info: Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    info: You are now chatting with 'CS Roderick'
    CS Roderick: Welcome, nice to have you with us today . . . I’m happy to assist you . . .
    bkr******: hi i have deposited $100 i wanted deposit bonus for that
    bkr******: password - ******
    CS Roderick: May I please have a moment to check on that for you..
    bkr******: bonus - 25% sportsbook bonus
    CS Roderick: Sorry sir but the deposit doesn't qualify... it has to be minimum $100
    bkr******: i have deposited $50 two times today totaling $100
    CS Roderick: it has to be a single deposit of $100 or the system and the processors won't allow it
    bkr******: sportsbook bonus is allowed...i have done it before similarly several times
    CS Roderick: No sorry sir... not possible
    CS Roderick: Make a deposit of $100 or more and we can give you the bonus
    CS Roderick: but otherwise a bonus can't and will not be given
    bkr******: i have deposited over $10,000 in boomaker....and you are doing nickle and dime over $25 ?
    CS Roderick: rules are rules sir
    bkr******: u telling me something cant be done which i have done 100s of times...i have deposited $100 today and deserve the 25% bonus
    bkr******: call your manager
    CS Roderick: I already did and he doesn't approve it
    bkr******: connect me to him
    info: Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Cedric'.
    info: You are now chatting with 'Cedric'
    Cedric: Good evening
    Cedric: Sorry, no freeplay unless it is a solid deposit
    Cedric: Our system wouldn't recognize it either if we put it for less than 100
    bkr******: i have deposited $100 today and I am requesting my $25 bonus
    bkr******: i have deposited over $10,000 in your book..is this the way you treat your customers?
    bkr******: having flawed bonus rules
    Cedric: No sir, don't get me wrong, it's just the rules and how this works
    bkr******: I will report this to SBR Forum...thank you for your time.....I am tired of these shady bonus rules from bookmaker.
    Cedric: You're very welcome sir, and once again sorry for the inconvenience
    Cedric: Anything else you need right now?
    bkr******: I am officially quitting your book.


    I have deposited several thousands in this book and I am a platinum member here and this is the way they treat me. Fuk you Bookmaker.

      i don't know. maybe their software won't accept it under 100 deposit to get the bonus. maybe they changed it if you got it before. you can't fight city hall on this one. yes, you need a new book. get into heritage if you can they treat everyone like all good depositors should be treated.

        if their system couldn't do it, they could still manually do it. they could have done it this one time (since you are a good customer) and explained that it will not work that way in the future. they suck.

            only benefit of bookmaker is they move slow and they pay. thats it. way too much juice on soccer and hl. nba lines are usually sharp but slow moving.

                  I am a platinum member here
                  I deposited $50 twice in a day totaling $100
                  You're whining about a $25 bonus and you refer to yourself as a platinum member at Bookmaker?

                  Here's a newsflash:
                  You are NOT a platinum member. Heck, you're not even a bronze member. The rules are pretty clear and when you're begging for a free handout, you have to follow the rules which state that you must deposit at least $100 in order to be eligible for a 25% ($25) bonus.

                  Depositing $50 and then later coming back and depositing another $50 does not qualify whether you do it 1 minute apart or 1 year apart.
                  I am officially quitting your book.
                  How will Bookmaker possibly recover from losing such a platinum high roller like yourself? People who deposit a whole $50 at a time don't grow on trees, right, LOL?

                  Why is it always the "fleas" that whine about not getting enough free stuff?

                    Do you want me to get a screenshot moron?

                    $25 is not the point...I dont care about it. The point is the way they replied....what part of that you dont get?....as I said I have been with them long time and deposited several thousands and this is the way they treat me.

                    And which part says if you have deposited thousands before, you cant request a bonus?...go fuk yourself man.

                        Why 2 threads?

                        Read the rules before depositing.

                        Is it really that complicated to deposit $100 at once instead of making their processing department process 2 measly $50 deposits???

                              So money that they promise to give you as a bonus shouldn't be given because he isn't a high roller? Dude get off your high horse, $25 is money and you can make money with it.

                                  Bookmaker is a good book to pop your gambling cherry with maybe, but once you start getting into it ... you have to leave them behind. As most have said, shitty lines, high chalk, etc. Put your $100 on some nice dog play, hit em for some money and get the fukk out to a better book.

                                      Ridiculous. They are more often than not the first to hang lines and, aside from Pinnacle, probably have the highest online limits in the biz. High chalk? Yeah, they're a -110 book, like most of 'em.

                                        Shitty that they didnt help you out seeing as you were a platinum member but you should pay attention to the rules to avoid these issues.

                                            They hang -125 on nhl totals while almos all others are at -115 or at worst -120. They hang -150 on a soccer pk while others hang -110. Yes they have high limits but wise bettors don't bet big on -125 when they can get -115 elsewhere. The only thing bookmaker is good for is slow moving lines that you can hammer. How long can you do that for though before they figure it out?

                                                Bookmaker is a great book...but I wish they had not put a delay on my account for anything over $499.

                                                  I could care less about bonuses. I think there just following policy on this one.

                                                      at least im confident enough to post a pic of my self on here. i bet you're a 45 year old, single, living off tax payers money and using your welfare to gamble. so until you have the balls to post a pic of urself on here you can stfu and mind your own business.

                                                        I don't know how you've gotten bonuses by depositing $50 twice a day, because I never have. I had this conversation with BM about a month ago and the same thing was said to me. Seems like we're both in the same boat as far as active players and loyal clients, but I do believe those are BM's rules.

                                                            Bookmaker should of gave you the bonus. The smart thing to do was for customer service to say we only give the 25% bonus for deposits over $100 but I'll manually put the $25 in your account this time. That way they keep a repeat depositing customer happy plus $25 is nothing to Bookmaker.

                                                                unless the promotion specifically states single transaction they should honor it.

                                                                just amazing to me that in these times that they would be willing to lose a good customer over $25. its not about the money, its about the principles and living up to your reputation.

                                                                i opened an account at bet jamaica and didnt realize they had not given me their signup bonus until some months later. when i emailed cs about it, they responded that since i was up thousands of dollars that they wouldnt be giving one. i was a little peeved and stopped playing there. couple weeks go by and i log in and wouldnt you know it, they gave me my bonus. lol

                                                                but yeah i would find another book until they cave and give you the bonus.

They hang -150 on a soccer pk while others hang -110. Yes they have high limits but wise bettors don't bet big on -125 when they can get -115 elsewhere. The only thing bookmaker is good for is slow moving lines that you can hammer. How long can you do that for though before they figure it out?
                                                                    Well I don't bet hockey or soccer so I haven't noticed that or cared. And I just avoid them for baseball. They are the best of the full juice books for football and basketball.
