    CRIS raises payout fees

    Neteller withdrawals between $5001-$8000 are now $100. Up from $75. Not good enough that they offer no more free payouts, they also raise the fees now.

    Looks like Neteller fee increase only applies for over 5k. What do other books charge for 5k+ Neteller?

    I used to carry a balance of 20K+ there..............

    but the unfair odds, high payout costs, no CBB totals and revoking my loyalty bonus

    has resulted in me moving the money to other books.

    Got charged the same, $100. Emptied out my account today and they adjusted my withdrawal amount and charged the extra $25 for fees. I'm probably done with them unless things change.

    For guys that always were supposed to be so smart, their actions/strategy in the last year have been just crazy. Give out limits and delays, raise fees over and over, stop transfers with reputable books, eliminate virtually all free payouts. One thing for sure, Cris family is now the mid market sportsbooks best friend. Alex/BOL and Jon/Islands have to think xmas has come early. Who would have ever thought offering someone a free payout once every few weeks would be a selling point.

    They're trying to gain it back by raising payout fees now. Really no reason to play there over Pinny/Dimes/Greek/Jam/Matchbook etc.

    The only reason Cris is A+ is because they definitely pay....plus they advertise here which doesn't hurt. However, their fees---particularly on transfers is ridic. Do a transfer to Cris and it's usually free. Transfer out and you get hit with a $200 fee. IMO, they're worse than my local Cash Advance outlet that rapes illegals with check cashing fees.

    They don't even allow any B2B transfers if you are kicked off BetPoints (i.e. they consider you 'non-recreational'), whether it be in or out. Somebody explain the logic of that one...

    insane future odds
    Insane future odds is correct but on the good side.

    While Bookmaker's futures have a large theoretical hold built into them, very often there are huge +EV plays along with some ridiculous short odds on the heavier favorites.

    Late last week, they were offering 30-1 on the Minnesota Twins to win the AL Central when the correct odds are far less than 20-1.

    People get angry when they see a 5 team division with 2 teams listed as a "minus" but who cares.

    Anybody who would close their account over a $25 increase in withdrawal fees for withdrawals over $5K is just plain cheap.

    Finally, that comment about no book-to-book transfers for non-recreational bettors (those who lost their loyalty points) isn't true, at least in my case.

    I did a transfer to the Greek last week and was kicked out of the loyalty program years ago. Still had to pay the $100 fee though.

    CRIS hangs NFL betting lines around 9:30 EST during a NFL sunday for the following week and they take big limits

    That alone makes them a keeper...other books wait and copy their lines.

    I love CRIS because they pay! And usually quickly. Everything else isn't that important in my opinion. Look at ur other options: Pinny (don't accept US) Matchbook (don't accept US) And Greek/Bet Jam is run by the same owners. In other words, only other option is Thegreek. Kind of slim pickings, although I do agree that thegreek is a great book. But they charge high fees too. There nickel baseball lines are attractive though.

    Maybe, but the point i tried to make is that they are greedy overall.
    If they have these odds, more people obviously take the ridiculous ones (for what reason ever)...or they wouldn't do it.

    I agree with "Coming Back!". I like CRIS because of their stability and reliability to always pay. Also, as another poster mentioned, I enjoy their future odds. The smallish sized fees don't bother me much.

    BetCris use very unethical practice against me and looks like with all.
    Free MoneyBookers withdrawals were offered on their site ,so i make standart cashoit in Mondays at time.
    So i was surprised when they charge 15$ Fee.
    See the chat transcript...
    Me:Why you charge me 15$ fee?
    Cris-Sir we ve changed rules,we do not offer free payouts via Mb anymore.
    Me:But,i see a message on the website which clearly say Free payout in Mondays?
    Cris:We need to update the web site with new rules...

    No Comment?!

    any book that charges 100-300 (or more?) for book to book transfers loses any credibility with the amount they charge for withdrawals. if you are willing to rape your customers in 1 area i do not give them the benefit of the doubt in other areas.

    Greek's fees are at cost if not below. They aren't a winner's tax like CRIS.

    Nickel line = -103/-102 != Greek
    Dime line = -105/-105 = Greek

    Most sportsbettors are losers, anyways. What most of you jokers seems to forget is that most every offshore place is run by people who put their freedom on the line in order to run their business. That is their choice.

    What most of you fools don't realize is that you are going to have to pay a price in order to be guaranteed a payout. Go ahead, play at the fly by night places all you want. Don't come crying to the forums when you get stiffed or when the operators are thrown in prision and your money is confiscated for good.

    You guys have no problem making meaningless deposits and withdrawels non-stop, knowing full-well that the sportsbetting world would be in much better shape if you didn't do so many small transactions in and out of your accounts. Why should anyone look out for you when you are willing to put people at risk of prison with your pathetic little withdrawel requests every time you pick a winner.

    Wake up and figure it out. Have a little decency and consider the other side once in a while. You are a loser anyway. Just go look in the mirror and think of all the years you have wasted. Fly to Vegas and make a bet....you will get paid right on the spot. See how they treat you. They won't even give you a free soft drink anymore if you bet sports.

    Remove cranium from anus and then please share with us all of the highly rated sports books which are operating illegally in their jurisdiction.

    Reliable source informs that Cris is now imposing a 3x rollover on sister transfers. Unbelievable what they have stooped so they can slow pay. They have for sure gone to A-. Possibly B+ I mean there CS have always been clueless but you could generally get same day emails and often chat resolution same day. Not so much anymore.
