    Bookmaker is really ticking me off...

    I play a lot in their poker room, and when I say a lot, I mean it. And the stingy bastards continue to refuse me rakeback. It's obscene.

    Anyway, I was asking them tonight about transferring money book-to-book. You'd have to be insane to play there with their $.20 lines for baseball. I was on their live-help, and it's like pulling teeth trying to get answers out of them.

    It basically went like this:

    Me: Do you guys do book to book transfers?

    Them: Yes.

    Me: Can I get a list of the potential books?

    Them: Well, what book do you want, and we will let you know if it's available?

    Me: Why can't you just give me the list?

    Them: Management doesn't like that, we aren't allowed. Can you just tell us what book you want and we will let you know?

    Me: Fine, how about 5Dimes?

    Them: Yes.

    Me: Heritage?

    Them: No.

    Me: America Card Room? (I know I could get rakeback here, same network)

    Them: I'm not sure.

    Me: What? I thought you had a list? What happened? Did it disappear?

    Them: Our list is small, you really need to speak to management.

    So that was basically it.

    What's the best book for baseball? I'm going to keep some money in Bookmaker, just because they put their lines up early, and pay me fast.

    The OP seems like a real pain in the ass to deal with. Why make a federal case out of it?

    If bookmaker doesn't have an answer after dicking around people, the excuse is always:
    Management decision
    Speak with management
    We cannot do that..

    They suck, and are only doing well still cos the poor americans have not many places to play

    Their bonus payout on poker is the worst I have ever seen .

    I signed up for the 100% bonus and after 9 days and a lot of play I have received $30 back so far, worst bonus structure ever.

    Now they are telling me they can transfer to Heritage.

    What are their lines like? Are they as competitive as 5Dimes reduced juice?
