Industry is in big trouble unless some current proposed legislation get's approved. Which, it probably won't...just have to get happy w/ draftstreet.com, and enjoy the nightly "prop" game...or, find a local...

**RudyRuetigger** · 07-23-11, 08:26 AM

not much to say here...its just about over for US customers playing offshore...unless you want to trust your money with a C- outfit.

I trust every word you say especially since you gave me the heads up on that North Korean invasion. I've been in the Canadian wilderness ever since. Those Koreans will never find me, I'm too sharp thanks to you.

can The Greek survive without US based customers? or they gonna be checking out soon?

You need to go to TheGreek.com or Betjm.com and log in. Im told you then are automatically moved to your Heritage acct and have all of their CS.

**tblues2005** · 07-23-11, 08:29 AM

I have a gut feeling that they made a deal with the US government on this. I was with thegreek for a long time and now they are leaving the market here. I am sure going to miss them but at least they are sending us to Heritage which has a B+ rating. They are sure going to get some more business as a result. I wonder if they are partnering with the Sprio group.

**rumple** · 07-23-11, 08:29 AM

I dont get it, why not do what VIP did and announce your closing and give a few weeks to get your money out?

I don't think it makes much difference right now if a book is an A rating or a C rating. If you are with an A book and you don't know if they are going to be there tomorrow thats no better than a C book that might not pay you.

**PD77** · 07-23-11, 08:30 AM

I think I have three account at Heritage now. My original one, one from Betjamaica and one from the Greek. Priceless. I sure am glad Heirtage thought this one through.

it appears this closure will result in payouts atleast...a C shop will not payout when it closes

I tried to cut and paste it but it was jumbled. Basically ** ** for deposits. I have use ** and for WD's. Fees were absurd for ** and normal for wire. That is about it except for BTB transfers but there is no one left to transfer to. I dont know the limits but I withdrew $7K one week no questions asked.

Thanks for trying.

"I have use ** and for WD's."
Did you intend to state another method after "and"?

"Fees were absurd for ** and normal for wire."

Can you be more specific?
What are the fees?

**mighty maron** · 07-23-11, 08:34 AM

Emailed Heritage asking why my Greek account will not work in the log in screen

The C & D books would vanish soon too. When the big fish are fried the small fish are cooked too.

**Mikail** · 07-23-11, 08:37 AM

offshore is becoming not an option for U.S players. FIND A LOCAL FELLAS!

**Scooter** · 07-23-11, 08:37 AM

Bill Dozer -
Since the Heritage website is closed to non-account holders -
Can you get Heritage to permit Guest non-cash accounts for a day or 2, so those of use who haven't used Heritage previously can see what is offered and at what times, read the Deposit/Withdrawal info and fees, etc., BEFORE we transfer our funds there?

Or ask the Greek if they can get Heritage to do this?

**Bill Dozer** · 07-23-11, 08:38 AM

That is a pretty dick move. But not like they monitor every deposit that closely. Should all be automatic unless you went on live chat and did it or over the phone.

There are always a few of these in an acquisition of players. You'll be able to get your funds from Heritage without fees.

VIP had no business left, just huge domain name assets. In this case there are a lot of players. Heritage might be a little better equipped to move a lot of player balances at once.

Sorry, It should have read ** and wire. ** was like $80 for $800 MAX and wire was a flat fee of $65 plus $10 that my bank charged.

We cant write anything coherent about depositing and withdrawing. Like this is a big fuking secret or something. Maybe we should call it Publix and Walmart.

**starfire** · 07-23-11, 08:39 AM

I'm sad no more betjam

But thank you heritage

Was quick & ea$y

Even if you dont want to play, Heritage will have your money and will handle the payout.

Read the info, Nostrildamus.

All funds are being returned.

**harlee71** · 07-23-11, 08:42 AM

Done!

Now I just have to make a deposit!

Any chance of Heritage becoming a sponsor for becoming a Pro. Making renewal deposit soon.

**rfr3sh** · 07-23-11, 08:43 AM

So are we gonna get better free play options??

**redapple** · 07-23-11, 08:46 AM

Hi, Bill,
On thegreek's website, it states 'What if I do not want an account at Heritage? What if I want all my money now? A: You will promptly receive 100% of your funds. This is personally guaranteed by The Greek. However you will not receive the 10% free play and you will lose the option to have an invitation from Heritage.'
But when I called thegreek, I was told I can't request for withdrawal through thegreek at this time, I have to activate the transfer and if I wish, I can give up the free play and request for withdrawal through heritage right away, and they confirmed with me heritage will offer the same withdrawal method as thegreek offered me previously. Could you check with them to see if that's really the case? If we choose not to have heritage account, not doing the transfer and request the withdrawal as per words on their own website, Thegreek is the one that should take care of the withdrawal in this case, right?

Yeah, good luck trying to deposit at Heritage any time during the next week. Obviously, they are not prepared for this.

**Wrigley** · 07-23-11, 08:49 AM

Wow they were my favorite book top of the list, this really blows was set to reup with them for football

**Scooter** · 07-23-11, 08:52 AM

Bill Dozer - "Even if you dont want to play, Heritage will have your money and will handle the payout."

"You'll be able to get your funds from Heritage without fees."

Bill Dozer - Just to confirm what you've stated - The Greek is automatically transferring our funds to Heritage whether we want to play there or not.

If we don't want to play there, Heritage will return our funds with no fees.

Is this correct?

redapple - "...they [the Greek] confirmed with me heritage will offer the same withdrawal method as thegreek offered me previously."

This makes it sound as if they are going to charge for the Withdrawal if we don't want to play there.
