BetJamaica is closed

Why would anyone even have money on any offshore books at this point? Poker black friday was obviously just the beginning. If you like betting move to vegas.

You don't need a pistol....just find a high bridge & do a 10.5 somersault in pike position, then you can bow out in style.

I called and got my Heritage account open. They said the outstanding future bets are stored in the bj data base and will appear as funds once graded as a winner.

I really think they should show up under pending future wagers

I wonder if you didnt have any money in your account if you got a invite to heritage.

I had an unfunded BJ account just as backup, in case I can't play at Bookmaker & DSI someday. I received the Heritage invite despite 0 funds, just didn't get the 10% free play obviously.

**yisman** · 07-24-11, 04:30 PM

Yes, you got a Heritage account regardless of whether or not you had money in BetJam. Same thing I think for unfunded US Greek accounts.

Greek was the only consistent SBR US sponsor that I never signed up with. I figured I'd leave it in case there was a new account offer or in case SBR required a new account to become pro.

I did have a BetJam account with several hundred in it, originating from cash bought from the SBR Store. I couldn't do anything last night because the site was down, but this morning I logged in and transferred over.

You need a little more than just a vpn, I play anywhere i want but it did take effort and it's not for everyone.

Never fukkin heard of ya pal

**LVHerbie** · 07-24-11, 05:56 PM

While it's nice to finally get an account at heritage after years of failed attempts losing BetJM and The Greek isn't the ideal method if I had been able to pick...

I'm guessing pokerworld is done as well? I was looking into using them as a skin on the cake network...

**jaytee20** · 07-24-11, 06:01 PM

My Greek balance showed up at Heritage immediately, but the futures? Apparently, 'tomorrow afternoon'.

Some of you have focused on the republicans. They started it, but the cowardly moderate republican Obama has directed his administration to be even more aggressive. America is obviously a decline and fall place.

**FrozenMAN** · 07-24-11, 06:09 PM

wtf.....time to go all in and see what happens....as it looks like either way you're gonna lose it

atleast i;m at heritage though...is this a legit place that is safe???

i have a lot at bodog still too, do i need to cash it out?? and just end all of this online shit?

**jaytee20** · 07-24-11, 06:09 PM

THREE CHEERS FOR BODOG

I cant believe my account at bodog has lasted longer than B/J. Unreal. Payouts seem to be just fine over there.. only took 5 business days for my last one to get here. Gonna pray they keep things up and going and dont close their doors.

**muldoon** · 07-24-11, 07:03 PM

So that link and graphic at BetJam for the last 7+ years about poker coming soon was just a ruse?

I got this and called them (800-800-7777) and got squared away...

another sad day for sportsbook for usa players

**King08** · 07-24-11, 08:30 PM

this really blows

**bangthebook** · 07-24-11, 08:35 PM

As good as BetJM and THeGreek were unfortunatley they wouldnt have been around much longer even if some of the recent DOJ actions didnt happened. Think about it when was the last time BetJM or Thegreek updated there sites? they were old designs. There affiliate programs either existed and never maintained or didnt exist. They werent out attracting new blood like other books are there search engine rankings didnt exist. Instead of changing with the times they sat tight for a longtime, then all this happened and instead of pumping some money in it was easier to sell off all assest to Heritage. Basically a win, win for all involved even the players. Heritage is solid! Dont sweat this in the end everyone is much better off

I have accounts at all three places and received the same syntax error message at both Greek and BetJam. I just assumed since I have not yet received an email that they were just going to take care of things without my intervention, as my attempts to switch did get me far enough to show that Heritage has all of the info already. Have any other standing Heritage clients had any luck with the changeover?

**ACoochy** · 07-24-11, 09:01 PM

Just emailed thegreek my bj info and within 15 mins the money was in my account....Awesome and ty thegreek

thanks i will look into that in the next few days

**ClimbSomeRocks** · 07-24-11, 09:33 PM

so Far I'm very satisfied with Heritage. Just after 1 day though.

**clonecat** · 07-24-11, 10:05 PM

There goes my #2 book.

**dg84** · 07-24-11, 10:18 PM

I've had accounts with Bookmaker, Betjam, The Greek & 5dimes & to be honest i've always thought 5dimes had by far the most betting options of those books. All 4 are/were among the most reputable around & i never had a payment issue with any of them. The only negative thing with 5dimes is that at times their customer service reps have been less than friendly, but as far as the important things go (payouts, betting options) they are the best. They do have somewhat lower limits on some wagers, but unless your a real high roller it won't matter. 99.5% of us don't bet thousands on one game inspite of what some on forums would have you believe.

Hmmmm.......Fishhead, the Nostradamos of th industry? Oh yeah, Fish predicted a new Bookmaker bonus structure that never came to fruition: http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...ming-soon.html

not happy i don't know what all this invite stuff is all you got to do is push buttons and open an accout
that's what i did

Is this so even if I haven't ever been contacted by Heritage in the past? And what if I had $0.00 in my Bet Jam account at the time? Same thing?

**TMoney33** · 07-25-11, 02:00 AM

I have almost completely lost all faith in online gaming. Once Bodog finally bows out, I will be reduced to betting with "the guy at work". BS

**Tomahawk** · 07-25-11, 04:48 AM

My buddy transfered the money bought with SBR points from betjam to the greek. It's good to know that even free money is transferrable between bookies.

Offshore books closing up shop will begin the comeback of Vegas real estate!

Thanks for the good laugh. VPN may be cheaper, but you never know.
