Any payout problems with these guys?

[onlooker]

Here is what I found on the main site about Betmaker mschild. Didnt read anything bad about payouts. The only thing that seemed to be a problem was the cold calling and marketing of betmaker.

Merger and Aquistion activety at all time high. VIP Sports is the most active buyer. YouWager, Royal and many smaller books are all said to be Sellers actively seeking buyouts. BetCRIS could also be a Buyer under the right circumstances which recently has focused on bailing out small operators. BetWWTS has made several trips and has signed at least one confidentiality agreement although we are unaware of any serious interest. Sportsbooks who have had made M&A headlines in the recent past that appear to be holding pat; Hollywood, BoDog, SportsInteraction are said to be no longer active Sellers. Smaller operations such as BetMaker, YouWager and Sportbet along with operations that have difficult reputations such as Royal Sports have mostly signed confidentiality agreements giving buyers a chance to possibly make an offer. SBR expects a pick-up in M&A activity despite rising valuations.

Betmaker (SBR rating D+) SBR has reviewed Betmaker's rating of D+ and concluded the rating to be accurate given Betmaker's current situation. Despite the apparent positive move away from Sportbet into the CRIS building, there will likely be challenges that will include, power struggles of management, higher costs and lack of assets to invest in marketing.

They were rated a D+ by SBR a couple of years ago, now they're sitting pretty with a B rating.

Look at the following archive about Betmaker - any issues against them appear to be as a result of their Custimer Services rather than any problems about payouts.

* Player Comments: Very impressed with this site, actually. Have only been with them a short while, but customer service, promptness and reliability all appear top-notch. Extremely impressed with their promotions. Generous initial deposit bonus (20%), but also have some unique ideas. Best bet of the week option, for example, whereby an extra 10% is added on to your winnings if you feel a sure thing coming. As well, the home team advantage option allows you to choose a team in every major sport category(North American) for the entire season, netting another 10% extra every time you have a winning wager on that particular team. Not very high limits in terms of maximum wagers, but certainly good enough for me.

* Player Comments: BetMaker has great promotions, including a favorite team promotion (10% more winnings when you bet your favorite teams), bet of the week (one bet a week gets 10% bonus to winnings), trip to the world series where you get entries for each bet made, and dime lines up to -149. A free payout by e-check every month and 24/7 customer service make this a great site to use and feel safe with.

* Player Comments: I have tried multiple sportbooks over the years and this one is by far one of the best. Home team advantage and Best Bet of the Week are unparalleled programs. I have NEVER had a problem when requesting a payout. I use e-checks and the money is always in my bank account within one-two days. There is an online limit of $500 but you can get higher limits over the phone. Loyalty program is fantastic and they pay all deposit fees including Neteller Instacash. The only negative is that I believe they do not offer dime line baseball lines. I do not know why this book is given a C+ rating because it is better than many of the ones that you have at A- or better.

I would say my only annoyances with Betmaker arise from their marketing efforts and their cumbersome software. From a financial standpoint I've never experienced any difficulties.

[Mudcat]

My payouts with them have gone smoothly.

[mschild]

Betmaker, Gold Medal, and 7 palms , all the same book correct?

[David]

Yes. They don't want you opening accounts at more than one.
