    Betislands New Monthly Rebate Program

    Saw later in another thread someone mentioned it. Looks good. Cash, no rollover.

    No Marcos. It is on their website. I could understand your frustration being called out by 1vice for the amateur shakedown attempt. Keep on keeping up!

    Best book by far. I took a payout, got it within hours. They couldn't be faster. They don't even need these rebate programs, there super fast payouts should be enough in this day and age to convince everybody to play there.

    This is what I'm saying. Most people lose. We win every now and then. The rebate is an added extra when we get f'd up.

    this sounds to good to be true

    is each month independent of the other months?

    Yes, independent. ....BI website says every month, credited the first 2 days of every month.

    Real aggressive move by BI. Seems like they are trying to grow their business with a specific model of offering one of the best bonus/rebate plans around.

    20% cash rebate on monthly losses with no rollover? I don't know of any other book that does that...

    For larger bettors, that could equate $1,000+ easily each month...seems too good

    On the promotions page there's no specific explanation of the rebate program. It does say on "net losses" and not net monthly losses, so they might be figuring "net" in relation to your deposit, not month by month. Also, there's an asterisk that says "max bonus awarded is $1000"--not clear if that applies to rebate as well, but might.

    Also there's the always ambiguous, "Clients that misuse the promotions such as free half points , 107 after documented wagers will have these features removed an example is playing steam moving lines to your favor constantly"...would be nice to know their definition of "constantly," 25% of the time? 40%? And do you get off-setting square credit for the times it moves against you?

    Hey guys,

    Hope all is well.

    Pretty simple you get 20% of your losses back every month. Deposits vs payouts , on a side note the free half point will be back football and the 107 is no longer available for new clients.

    The rebate is not a bonus and there is no cap , we lowered our bonuses on the front end in order to be able to offer this rebate and yes it un restricted cash once you get it credited into your account you can cashout or you can continue playing.

    Cheers!

    Jon

    Now that BetIslands great bonuses are gone.. what exactly gives them an edge over Heritage and 5Dimes? Heritage has better lines, reduced juice with high limits and a continuous cashback program, Win or lose..... 5Dimes has more betting options then both of them, reduced juice but only for a max of 500.

    Bet Islands always had an edge for smaller players cause of there tremendous bonuses... but now? ehh... unless you are planning on losing, no reason to bet with them instead of Heritage and 5Dimes.

    heritage has -108 lines... betislands has -107..

    5dimes has worst customer service in industry.. tight lines yes.. but who knows

    in either case if u dont wanna use betislands new bonus structure dont bud.. wait for football. I am sure they will have something back to entice us around that time of the gridiron

    .. they cant do 100% deals when nba is almost over and mlb is a not so fun time for most books due to public winning and slow season.

    I can get 5000 down on -108 heritage lines.

    Nope... I asked Jon & Ben, & co. many times to raise my limits for NCAA BBall and everytime they said no. I could only get down like 500 on sides & 250 on totals.

    This was Ryan's reply:

    I cannot assist you with raising NCAA basketball limits. As you know already upper management decided to not move those limits.



    Jon raised them a little bit after I contacted him on here... but I still couldn't get down more then 1,000..... when i was betting 5000 on a daily basis at Heritage and 5Dimes at the same time.

    Not so simple, since it's not explained properly on your website. Thus all the questions. Deposits vs. payouts going forward or retroactive? I'm currently up $16,700, do players have to be in the red lifetime to qualify for the 20% back on losses? Please clarify, thanks.

    Bobby,

    The rebate is not tied onto to any make up figures if a player is up or down at the end of each month they will get their rebate. A player with a make up figure may not be eligible for a bonus but the rebate will always still apply.

    If anyone has anymore questions please feel free to contact me or jump on live chat and we will be more than happy to clear any doubts.

    Players that have balances from our old bonus structure will not be eligible for the rebate.

    Cheers!

    Jon

    PS. We will take a 5k bet just contact us

    Lol.. Jon you guys wouldn't even take a 1000 dollar total bet in college bball... I really doubt you guys would take a 5K bet on anything except NFL and NBA playoffs.

    And no offense meant by it or anything... cause you are a class act, and you've done a great job building the book from the ground up to what it is now.

    I've tried making over limit bets as well and was told off. Not sure "who" gets these 5k bets Mr.

    Will the rebate be auto credited for all clients?

    I use 5Dimes,Heritage,and BetIslands. For wagering options etc 5Dimes is the best around. Customer service is not the greatest. Heritage is pretty good for wagering options too. Both books allow tennis parlays which is large. Only 5Dimes allows you to parlay props though. What Heritage has that blows the other two away is the rebate program. You get the rebate win or lose. I have taken a couple payouts last week and it does not affect your cash back at all. Thats big fellas. BetIslands is pretty damned good as far as customer service goes and the rebate program is good but you only get it if you lose. Also they dont allow tennis parlays which is big for me. I have to parlay tennis.No questions asked. For all other sports they are pretty great though.
    Jon can you do anything about tennis parlays???? That would get you alot more business from alot of players and thats for sure.

    I really miss their free half-points in basketball. Those half points have saved me at least a few times this year in the NBA.

    Only applies to people who have previously had betislands accounts? was looking to open up another account and am curious to know if I opened it with betislands if I'd still be eligibile for this rebate.

    So when do the monthly rebates start, is it at the first of every month. So would June 1 be the first available rebate?
