    Bet Phoenix Deposit - Yes or No?
    These guys are calling me with what sounds like a decent world cup promo.

    I'm considering making a modest $300 deposit, but I've read the heaps and heaps of controversial posts about this book recently. My questions:

    1. To those who have recently requested and received a Moneybookers withdrawal, how long did it take you to get your money?

    2. Has anyone been waiting on a withdrawal from Bet Phoenix for a substantial period of time? How long has it been since you requested your payout?

    My advice, take your 300, deposit at 5dimes, take the 50% free play.

    You won't get the bonus till you meet ro, but you get more selection of alt lines, better juice and no worries about payout times.

          BetPhoenix has been paying a little better.........still a book that I would not rate higher than a C.

          If one is a shrewd and experienced bettor however, the 300 deposit for 300 freeplay is worth the risk in my opinion.

              As is the 250 freeplay for a mere 990 pts in the SBR STORE

              Again, I only recommend this if one is an experienced and shrewd offshore bettor.

                  Why not take your 300 and break it up into 150 and deposit at two books. That makes the most sense to me. Find some bonuses.

                    I dont think that a decent bonus makes it worth all the aggravation that comes with depositing with BP. And with the big rollovers that comes with the bonus, its not that great anyway. My advice...Eliminate the stress of worrying about payouts, hackers, etc and play at 5dimes, jamaica, greek, etc.

                      This makes sense only if you are getting incredible bonuses, and many places giving these bonuses are unstable.

                      Cost of payouts will cut deeply into you profit if you cash under 500, and if your on a limited budget I would figure you would be.

                      Here are 2 books that will give you 100% free play for 100 new sign up.

                      Betjamaica.com
                      easystreetsports.com

                      build your roll between these 2, then apply for a heritage acct with 500 and get 30%. better yet, also don't overlook matchbook to build a roll.

                      The answers on building a bankroll are in these boards using freeplay, research and you will do well with a small amount.

                          I would get the same deal with sister book Betmania, because you'll still get a dimeline and -107 basketball sides. not as good to deal with as some books, but for 100% free play, I think its worth it.

                            I just asked for an 850 withdrawal via ** and they had the withdrawal processed within 5 hours. MUCH better than my previous withdrawal looks like these guys are getting their stuff together which is nice to see since I really do like playing over there. Customer service is good too.

                                  I'll let you you know soon, hopefully today. I have a substantial payout pending.

                                  As long as betphoenix is paying (and it seems like they're getting over that small bump in the road) then I think it's hard to find a book with as good of lines and bonuses as them. I know I've had a profitable time with them.

                                    Glad to hear BP is paying via **, but never knew of any slow pays for this method (fee for payout)

                                    it's the free method and moneybookers (non us) players with the complaints.

                                    As mentioned, experienced players should find their bonuses well worth it...it's the newbies/small bankroll guys who need to be careful. Slowpay kills the small guy (just hurts the bigger roll guy) and fees and restrictive RO/usage on freeplay is tricky

                                      ** and ** payouts fine. They would hit the next level of respect though if they notified people of delays via email.

                                                    I was also thinking about putting some money into a BP account a few weeks ago. After reading some of the previous BP posts I changed my mind. Gamblers have it hard enough as it is, why give yourself a bigger headache for a book that wants to give you a big bonus then make you play 10 times the amount of your deposit and your bonus just to take out your balance (if they even decide they will)?

                                                      not so good...payouts are slow. if you dont need money anytime soon, this book might be ok......but if you want your payouts within the same year, then go for another book

                                                        Just deposit around $100 at a time, it should be good.

                                                            Just get a payout via moneygram 850 max. Have they had any delays via moneygram? Then Take your 850 and go play @ a better book...

                                                              Your money is safe here. The rollover requirements can be steep, so make sure you understand them before you dive in. But, at its best, BetPhoenix is a good book. At other times, they are flaky and frustrating.

                                                                    Seems like if you don't mind waiting a little bit sometimes for your payouts (possibly depending on which method you're using) and don't mind rollovers on bonuses, then it's a great book! I am a high-volume bettor and have no issues with completing rollovers, and I honestly don't mind a little bit of a wait if I know I'll get paid.

                                                                    You can certainly find consistently better baseball lines at BETJM and 5DIMES, but overall I think BP rocks. If you're a serious bettor, make sure you get on the reduced lines. Good lines all year long.
