    Betislands Cold Calling me .....

    So, I got a cold call last night from BetIslands last night from a new rep that I have never heard of before. He asked if I would be depositing you know the usual. I told him I would consider a deposit in two weeks. However, he kept asking questions and what not always having to talk forever about their bonuses promos etc.

    Then this morning not like 12 hours later I get another cold call from Betislands again asking when I would be depositing. Same exact call from a separate rep who again I have never heard of.

    Wow, Betislands I actually would deposit with you on my own if/when I decide to. I know about your promos and bonuses already. This was way too much and taking an hour out of my life because it's so hard to hang up on these guys who are very persistent.

    I used to get calls from Nick but after he left, I guess they never assigned me a new rep.

    You must have gotten one of the weak ones. I wish I was that lucky where I could just say thanks and goodbye.

    never inquire on bonuses via live chat if you don't want a call the next day. I don't have a problem becuase i've never been harassed just one simple call telling the current offers.

    Yeah, I wish I had the balls to just do that, but for some reason I can't get myself to just hang up on someone.

    cold calling, harassing, bullying.
    If I want to make a deposit I don't need some Taco calling me to tell me to do so.

    Come on man..........an hour?Please!You must be a long winded talker on the phone because they do not want to be on the phone with anybody that long.You don't have to stretch a conversation out past a couple of minutes once you told them a couple of weeks.Two 30 minute calls in 12 hour span and you just could not say matter of factly"Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know".

    Part of the game... dealing with calls. BI has a pretty good reputation for not constantly calling for reloads unlike some others... like I always say, have a number just for your books that goes to voicemail. That way you can check for a good bonus when you feel like it and not get tons of calls on the number you use for personal stuff or business.
