    I’ve used WagerWeb (interchangeably with clone book BetDon) for a few years. I think my summary statement about it would be something like:

    A pretty good bookmaking organization with periodic bouts of head-scratching behavior.

    To be honest, I don’t think I would use them much if not for bonuses. It is a full juice book (dime lines on MLB sides up to about –145). My experience is that they used to be a decent place to find some soft lines – mainly on MLB dogs - but not so much in recent times.

    They offer a very good variety of props on many things but they are high-juice, low-limit props – plus they have policies to discourage a lot of prop play.

    Otherwise it is a pretty standard set of North American offerings.

    Limits are medium-ish. $2000 on MLB ML’s and RL’s, $1000 on totals.

    Bonuses are good. At this time of year (baseball season) they have 15% cash sign-ups and reloads with 5x rollover. Over the non-baseball months they have 20% with 10x rollover. Plus they have a loyalty bonus that is awarded each Monday based on action played. (0.5% of base amount of bets during baseball season, otherwise 1%.) Check the website for all terms and conditions. Even after I have taken payouts and cashed out, they do come back and offer me a deposit bonus after awhile.

    The website times out MUCH too fast for my taste. I get more bets that are rejected and the line is moved (never in the player’s favor) than I would like to see.

    Regarding payouts, I don’t personally like all their payout policies but they do what they say. All Neteller payout are free. That’s good. What I don’t like is the $1000 per day limit. But they have always paid me. Other than one experience years ago – which I am willing to chalk up as a fluke – I have had many well-handled payouts from Wager Web.

        I signed on with them a while back and won 8 of my first 10 bets or so, something like that (All on basketball props). They then cut my prop limits to $20, and restricted me completely from betting on some props alltogether. Fair enough, but I cashed out and said Sayonara.

            Every once in a while players are told their bonus stipulations are different than what they deposited with. This can usually be chalked up to CS error. We have one of these now and I'd expect it to be resolved today.

              They're idiots. I was given a 25 free play, which I build up to over 500. So I thought about making a deposit, because my luck was pretty strong there. Turns out that if I do make a deposit, they would withdraw 400 from my account, because the limit to the promotion was 125. (I knew that, but the account was just for fun). Result? I'll just lose the money against another account and never give them another look.

                I won a fairly large futures bet there and had 0 problems with my payout.

                  Why do they operate under dozens of names like the BOS syndicate ?

                    one of the best affiliate programs out there. if i ran a sports forum or watchdog site i would definitely recommend them as i could earn upto 50% of all player losses

                    no reason to play there at all unless you want to whore out a bonus as you will never find a number that isnt cloned, however their in running betting is run by the most incompetent group ive ever seen and is very beatable but they will lock your account and take away your bonus and loyalty points if you bet too much on live betting and not into thier full juice cloned lines.

                      I personally think Wagerweb is one of the most overrated books out there. They cut limits and make it absolutely impossible to finish rollover, thus forcing you to forfeit the bonus.

                        Just another full juice book with cloned lines, what else is there to say. The loyalty program isnt bad, but it doesnt make the book more interesting for me.
                        No overnight lines, i would guess all that means they are afraid of big/sharp action also. Doesnt surprise me that there are reports of cut limits before bonus rollovers too.
