    Bookmaker - stay away!!!!
    SCAMMERS!!! I was just banned for NO GOOD REASON!!! I made a withdrawl request on Sunday evening, 2/7/2010 and they all of a sudden, out of the blue ban me for NO REASON WHAT SO EVER!!!! They claim that my buddy and I "cheated" in their poker room. We've seriously have met about 3 times in the 5 years that I've been with them. Either myself or him would lose no more than $20 at a time. In the 5 years I was with them, I've played NO MORE than 1 hour TOTAL in their poker room. I'm so furious right now!!! I'm so upset, I don't know how to act, what to do!

    Can I take legal action against them? I dont think there's any real re-course to get my $$$ back. This is UNREAL and this is NO JOKE!!! 100% true that I was just scammed by them!!! To top it off to, the last time my buddy & I played in their poker room was well over a month ago and now when I make a w/drawl request, all of a sudden I'm banned???? WTF!!!! Never had an issue up until now. This is crazy!

    To all of you currently using bookmaker.com....GET OUT!!! Cash out your $$$ and move on! THere are many other better, none scamming sites out there. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. My brother & another buddy is currently with them. I told them both to GET OUT!! I suggest you do the same!!

    Thanks

    First of all Bikers you can start by clicking the gold coing below me and entering 6 into the box.Second no you cannot take action against Bookmaker they are an offshore book in the business of booking bets which is illegal under US law .Bookmaker could have started a chip dumping investigation and didnt tell you 2.I suggest you fill out an SBR complaint form and let them investigate it.

                  I just recently opened an account with them so I can't say yay or nay. I don't play poker so I will not have that problem. They have an A+ rating with SBR. Let John get to the bottom of it, but I just find it a little weird you make your first post here saying an A+ rated book by this site ripped you a new one.

                          I've heard of even reliable poker sites having bad information and accusing people of chip dumping. Who knows.

                            theres this guy that works for this site- he is good at investigating situations and disputes of this nature. as long as youre not lying- i would think this is the type of situation in which he would be able to help you recover your winnings. he contacts the books and whatnot. he is a pretty busy guy but thats who you would have to talk to. justin7 is his name.

                            im assuming youre saying they didnt process your withdraw.

                              Bookmaker might as well not put up any soccer lines. -120 each side is absurd and unbetable.

                                  Usually guys doing this are up to a scam and get caught, always another side to the story

                                  Bookmaker might be the top 3 safest books in the world

                                          Just curious, Is your buddies IP address the same as yours or one digit off?

                                          Only kidding.

                                          OT:
                                          In case anyone doesn't know, if you are trying to give cash to a friend for another tourney or whatever, theres no need to do this iin the poker room. As long as both of you have Bookmaker accounts you can just request to do a transfer to his account.

                                              Exactly why I dont play poker online. Hell, me and a buddy are going to talk by phone in the SBR freerolls. But I am sure I am not the only one on here who does it.

                                                I'm sure theres another side to this story, most likey you're colluding with your friend. Bookmaker is a solid book.
