BetMaker Done?

**sam b.** · 02-05-13, 11:41 AM

Just got off the phone with CS at Bookmaker. It appears they are done with exchange wagering. Transfers will take approx. 4 more hours is what I was told.

**playz** · 02-05-13, 11:50 AM

do you know of another USA exchange?

**offshore tyrant** · 02-05-13, 11:59 AM

This is ridiculous. Liked the live betting for football over there and some other features. I can't believe this. Also bet the ponies at a good rate . I can't log in either. What if u already have a bookmaker account ? I'm also waiting on a payout from betmaker. I hate offshore and all this friggin BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**offshore tyrant** · 02-05-13, 12:01 PM

I noticed volume got slower over their the past few months and i started to panic. I still can't believe how USA bettors don't favor exchanges over regular books !!!!!!!!! They must not know how to do math !! The state of the betting industry is at an all time JOKE high !!!! Back in 1999 things were way better . Words can't even explain the state of the industry right now !

**playz** · 02-05-13, 01:14 PM

Betmaker didn't put resources into making it work. They didn't move lines. They made it hard/expensive to get money in and out.

I played there because I knew their backing was good. I don't know of any exchanges that are available for USA.

Very bad news

I am also waiting on a payout. So sick of being stressed out about collecting, and I noticed the same things as you in volume drops recently. Cannot understand why people wouldn't flock to a site like this, but it didn't happen.

**iceman9870** · 02-05-13, 02:33 PM

why did matchbook have to go away from the us market =(

**statdude** · 02-05-13, 02:55 PM

Well, they did a terrible job of advertising. I didn't even know BetMaker existed until last week or I would have used it a ton.

**Johnnythunder** · 02-05-13, 05:15 PM

Logged in and no funds and the illiterate idiot on chat told me in broken English that they dont know if funds will be in my account today. This is pathetic.

**offshore tyrant** · 02-05-13, 05:30 PM

Same thing with me with the no funds ! Please report when funds are put into account ? I'm sick to my stomach and hate checking every 5 minutes. This is just great i'm waiting a betmaker payout and a bookmaker payout and now don't have a gawd damn exchange ! What a $hitty day to be alive !!!!!!! Time to start learning this bitcoin crap but i have a feeling that exchange isn't gonna be anything like betmaker .

**offshore tyrant** · 02-05-13, 05:58 PM

Does anyone know if the Betpoints will transfer over to bookmaker ? I had about 28,ooo . I don't feel like calling over there again i'm too upset.

Betpoints? at betmaker? I never saw anything about that.

**offshore tyrant** · 02-05-13, 08:22 PM

Yeah there was never any explanation of what the betpoints were for but they had a link on the left hand side of your account menu where it said points . I had about 28,000 .

**hhsilver** · 02-05-13, 09:08 PM

thanks for the betpoint info. At DSI (also part of Bookmaker family), the betpoints can be used to reduce withdraw fees, among other things. I funded betmaker with a free transfer from dsi. Built up a nice balance , but never wanted to withdraw. I might have learned about betpoints then. I hope they are transferred if they have any value.

I hate this to end. It wasn't ideal of course, but it was good to have after we lost matchbook.

**offshore tyrant** · 02-05-13, 09:32 PM

Yeah and i was withdrawing amounts of 3K pretty often and not even using the points so they would be free. I should of asked that guy Brian who always answers the phone over there but over the last few months i was just happy to get my checks becaused i sensed something wrong with the volume.

**Johnnythunder** · 02-06-13, 12:45 AM

These morons still havent transferred the betmaker funds over to bookmaker....this is ridiculous.

bitcoin exchange is a joke

**statdude** · 02-06-13, 11:57 AM

Bitcoin exchange is not a joke. I regularly get all my action filled with some people's action in the thousands per game.

There are some features and sports to be added. Namely, the ability to limit your max spread or ML for your wager. Otherwise, it's a very liquid exchange.

Easy to acquire bitcoins and cash in and out via Coinbase.

Did I miss where you explained your sentiment elsewhere?

**relaaxx** · 02-06-13, 01:01 PM

just called, was told funds to be moved asap. could not give any better timeframe infomation. if you have a bookmaker account the funds will go there, it will not create another account. also after all funds are done then they will start to move points(which i did not even know about until this thread) over to bookmaker. hope everthing goes smooth for everyone. the only problem i see is if you have no bookmaker account or you do have have enough funds to bet with in bookmaker, then this is taking way to long, especially since betmaker is/was owned by bookmaker they should have been able to do this overnight. good luck to all.

**sam b.** · 02-06-13, 01:59 PM

My transfer hasn't happened yet either. Yesterday I asked for a time frame and was given 24 hours. Customer service at BookMaker, including the supervisors, are clueless. Always have been the 2nd worst in the industry (to BetOnline). I can say the opposite for the customer service reps at BetMaker which were excellent.

That's surprising. DSI is known for having the best customer service. Their lines are basically identical to bookmaker, and obviously just as trusted of a company, maybe move your funds there.

**Johnnythunder** · 02-06-13, 07:19 PM

Still nothing and these morons are clueless as shit. I filed a SBR complaint but not sure what good that will do me.

Cant even set your own line. lol I dont think you know what an exchange is.

**offshore tyrant** · 02-07-13, 07:06 PM

Anyone know what is going on with the betmaker situation ? I didn't get a chance to call over there today. I did however get a fedex check this morning from them. I guess no one really played there ?? Hard to believe because i know the ingame lines on sunday night football were better than the european books.

**wagerallsports** · 02-07-13, 07:23 PM

betmaker sucks a$$

**offshore tyrant** · 02-07-13, 08:18 PM

Finally rest of balance transferred to bookmaker. Also they just told me that they stopped using betpoints awhile ago and i was like mine kept being tallied and were at aprrox. 28,000. Than the famous i will have to consult with my supervisor tomorrow i got ! Unreal how things are.

**sdtrader** · 02-10-13, 02:57 PM

Have you heard anymore if the betpoints can be transfered over? Or is this something that they are not doing?

+1 - sure it's not a traditional exchange, but where else can you bet at essentially -100.5 ? So they don't want people setting their own lines, if you pick your spots you can get the best lines on the planet.

**Art Vandeleigh** · 02-15-13, 11:44 AM

Bookmaker chat told me a short while ago that the Betmaker transfer comes with a 3x rollover. Seems unnecessary, this wasn't exactly a bailout, was it? Anyone else get the same info, or was this customer service rep out of touch?

**relaaxx** · 02-15-13, 01:13 PM

anyone hear about points transferring over to bookmaker. talked to 2 cs. they did not know.

you bitcoin shills are unreal

**sdtrader** · 02-15-13, 05:01 PM

I talked to Bookmaker chat and they said there was no rollover requirement. As far as the betpoints the answer I got was that the betpoints in the Exchange were only used for better commission rate, since the Exchange no longer exists, and it was only for Commission rate, the betpoints will not be carried over. So I guess they are not being moved over.
