Whats going on with Bookmaker.eu?
I have been a loyal Bookmaker customer for many years, but something is going on with them. First of all, they have started changing the rules daily, and do not/will not notify their customers at all. They stopped accepting AMX, but did not notify anyone about this. They have changed the rules involving their Streak Challenge and never notified anyone. They do not notify anyone with regards to changes in rules or policies. If anyone on here plays at Bookmaker and you THINK you have a positive balance with them, or THINK you have a payout coming, or THINK your in a certain position in one of their contests.....you better call them now and verify because, chances are when you call them about your winnings or contest position....they are going to tell you a rule or a policy has changed and you have nothing close to what you think you have. Very disappointing from a Sportsbook that gets such rave reviews and had indeed been great for many years. I am currently shopping for a new Sportsbook that operates more on the up and up. Something is going on with Bookmaker. Again, if you believe you have a positive balance with them or a certain standing with them....YOU BETTER CALL THEM or you will be very surprised. I promise!

What did they change about the streak contest? So I'm not going to get my Freeplay today then. I don't understand.Comment -
bookmaker sucks - they have always sucked. in the US only 2 great books left. 5dimes -heritage. great is a stretch, but in the US that's it.Comment -
First post spam. I've been playing with bookmaker for 10 years and haven't had one issue with them. No book is going to tell you they stopped taking a certain payment method. Books change payment processors all the time. As for the streak contest, it's a free contest, who cares read the rules when you play, it takes two seconds.
Go ahead and shop for another book outside of maybe heritage you'll run into more problems then a dumb free contest rule change.Comment -
Also pretty sure they didn't change any of the streak rules because I just looked other then instead of 7 days you have to pick in once every 3 days. Not really seeing an issue with that since they've had a couple winners in that contest.Comment -
I know. Stupid b.s post. I've been with them for about 15 years and never had an issue. But according to this guy they have major problems. Give me a break. He probably got caught trying to scam or something.Comment -
Solid book.Comment -
Not getting this "complaint" at all. It's their free contest, so they have every right to reduce the selection period to 3 days--still plenty of time. Bookmaker bitcoin payouts are very quick (3-4 hours) and free. Plus their limits are generous. Must have out IMO.Comment -
Your 100% correct. Bookmaker has become an absolute joke.Comment -
I am in perfect standing with Bookmaker. I don't need to scam anyone. What I do need is a Sportsbook that doesn't change the rules daily to avoid payouts/bonuses/free plays. Bookmaker is an absolute joke these days.Comment -
Not the best static and live lines but never had a payout problem.Last edited by jtoler; 06-25-17, 08:17 PM.Comment -

They always pay. Deposits are quick and painless. All my buddies have accounts there and none of us have EVER had a wager refused, no matter how big. I have a separate n e t s p e n d account for Bookmaker and 5Dimes. My 5Dimes has been hacked three times, Bookmaker none. What the f\*\*k else do you want?Comment -
I know I dont have to many posts, but I want to give two examples of issues I had with rule changes unannounced with BM. I wager alot of golf, and they offer sometimes low round of the day futures(these are just for the low score of individual rounds, not tournament winner).
When I first wanted to wager on these bets, they only listed 60 players of the entire field, and they didnt offer a field bet for the remainders(usually 130-150 golfers playing until the cut after second round) . I called and asked what would happen if a golfer not on the list was the low round winner since no field bet option. They said all wagers would be no action, since you could not win. This wasnt true, a golfer not in the wager selections was low round of the day and all wagers where graded as a loss(must be nice 100% win for them). The second issue I had with this wager, I was told in that an event of a tie the golfer with the most birdys would win the tiebreaker for the wager, and if it was tie with birdys it would go to eagles. Again three golfers tied, and they just recalculated the odds to be split among the 3 golfers tied. You cant talk directly with the department directly grading the golf wagers, as you can at a few other books. This was about a year and half ago, so I dont know the current rules, but I have not placed another wager on this wager option as the rules appear to be very vague and unclear and can be changed without notice.
Im not saying bad book at all, Im just saying this was very unprofessional and disappointing for an A+ book.
In my opinion these rules should be clearly stated on all wagers, so their can be no misunderstanding.Last edited by cornmeal; 06-26-17, 07:51 AM.Comment -
Thank you cornmeal! Finally someone who understands my complaint! I have no idea how everyone got going on the payout/deposit issue......I have never had a payout/deposit issue with BM.....so I didn't remotely mention that in my original post. My complaint was the constant and unannounced rules changes that they are doing more and more of everyday to tip the board in their favor and screw the customer. Pretty simple to understand I thought. Thanks for your feedback.Comment -
*you're
Thanks grammer police!

When they offer these psuedo-future markets less than a week before an event, or during breaks/practice sessions, and only a sub set of the field is offered they are marked as ALL-IN markets. They would not offer a market without the field option any other way. Whatever a CS operator may have said. That's not how those markets work.
And the second issue claiming 3 way ties are resolved in a golf bet based on Birdies, Eagles etc... without knowing exactly what bet you are talking about, this makes no sense at all.
This has been the rule for a long time;
In the event of a tie where 3 or more competitors are offered in one betting option, the payout will be divided by the number of players tied. For example 2 players tie for the Top USA player at the British Open will result in the normal payout given divided by 2.
Which is the same rule I think just about every book uses.
A check with the Wayback machine shows that rule has been there for more than a year at least as well. (probably for a decade).Comment -
Hi Optional,
Say wedn night they offer a future bet on the 1st round leader of the tournament that starts thursday morning
(this week its the quicken loans national)again I have not looked at these in a very long time, but it would list maybe half the field with individual set odds, and the other half of the field you could not wager on(no field wager option). So if someone not listed happen to be the leader, it was a loss( you didnt have any option to wager on that person either as an individual or as a field wager). These where not bets made weeks and months in advance, these where current with the upcoming or ongoing tournament.
Again this was sometime ago, Im not saying I disagree with the payout being divided by the number of players tied, to me this is the easiest and correct way to go. Im just saying when I first started playing those wagers, thats how it was graded, and I can remember looking at the score cards counting eagles and birdys when I had players tied for either low round score wager or leader after the 1st round wager. All I was trying to say I was used to the wager being graded a certain way and I played these wagers thru out the pga golf season for maybe 2-3 years , just let me know that your changing the way its going to be graded so their are no surprisesLast edited by cornmeal; 06-26-17, 11:10 PM.Comment -
Above you said you were told it would be graded in those ways, but it wasn't afterward.
Now you are saying they actually graded by those strange terms at one stage?
I don't have the clearest memory myself, so I am kind of thinking you're a bit blurry here probably. I'm almost certain that Split Ties rule has been in place forever and it was just some sort of miscommunication with support staff about birdies etc. And as far as the no Field being offered, I get the logic of what you say but honestly, they are offered as All In markets and chances are you just didnt notice and the CS person didn't know enough to explain it properly, leaving you with the impression there was an error or change. I know I am just assuming things there but still am pretty sure.

It's just some fake news. Some minor contest change I guess. He made it sound like Bookmaker is closing or something.Comment
