    Bookmaker.eu sick of it

    There's no reason that a bookmaker, especially one so respected, should not be able to approve a withdrawal within one day. Heritage has a payout department that handles payouts quickly, why doesn't bookmaker? I will never give this place my business again. Also, their timeframe of 7-15 days is bunch of bullshit. Take care bookmaker. Depositing my money with you was a mistake I won't make again.

    Money is in your account within a few minutes, and out in a couple of hours, with virtually no fees either way, if you use bitcoin.

    Bitcoin still has to be approved.

    Cash in hand is better than having to explain where funds came from in a bank account. Bitcoin is not for everyone.

    I am still waiting for a withdrawal.

    It's funny that if you request a withdrawal and they need more documents then some guy in payout department is quick to deny your withdrawal request and put the money back into your Bookmaker account in a couple of hours with no explanation by e-mail or message. But once you jump through all of their hoops and request a withdrawal then it takes 7-15 days.

    All withdrawals have to be approved. Bitcoin's approval will happen in about 2 or 3 hours.

    You are badmouthing important sportsbooks without backing your complaints up enough IMO.

    Understandable needing documents to withdraw, but I've never understood not needing documents to deposit. Books only care about volume.

    And now they are charging if you call them to deposit via P2P....... that is a sound strategy

    Did you actually request one? They have a state time frame as a guideline but usually pay out the next day.

    I always thought bookmaker overated. That is fuked how they can not pay out same day when several other books do. I will never recommend them or play there because of that one reason. If a book can not pay out at least same day for small withdrawls they are useless. Period.

    they should never have been or be rated A. bad lines, high fees, arrogant attitude by managers. close your account and there is an extra fee(not sure now but if you left less than $200 when withdrawing they charged you a fee). try book to book(which cost them nothing) the fee will amaze you. but if you are in the US you don't have that many choices. but you do have 2 better ones. 5dimes-heritage

    Bookmaker has supported other smaller books for a lot of years and are servicing the largest players. They dont really want the players that need to go in and out a lot. But that aside, these posts are good. players will find the book best for them, for some its fastest way to get their $200 each week without fees, for others its their $150,000 at the all star break.

    But bad lines? They have the best lines a lot of the time. It comes with releasing early and taking point on line moves. Books that move the # in some markets will have unique lines.

    Bad lines are good lines. You want a book with bad lines. But Bookmaker doesn't have bad lines, they have sharp lines and they have the same lines as everyone else because everybody uses their lines. If you want to bet favorites, which most do, they have "good" lines because you frequently get a half point less.

    You can complain about the fees Bookmaker charges for payouts. But not for the payout time. They will send to you next day virtually every time and say 72 hours on their site.

    maybe bad lines is the wrong way of putting it ---- they have move juice in the lines than either 5Dimes or heritage. maybe i don't play enough anymore to see the value at bookmaker but i do see the dime line changes to 15 and 20 quick. quicker than 5dimes or heritage. and i do hate the idea that a book to book will cost hundreds while it cost them nothing. payed $200 to move my balance(2700) minus $200 i kept in the account to avoid another charge to close the account. did this many years ago. still hold a grudge.

    I don't bet baseball but they apparently are not good for that. BetDSI is apparently the place for baseball.

    Fees are definitely steep. They are only interested in a certain kind of customer and they'll let you lump it if you don't like it.

    It's a good place to bet. There are better options for the average guy.

    Payouts not an issue other than cost.

    Exactly... Payout denied, no email or inbox
