    Mania' s free 1/2 point is borderline fraud

    BetMania offers a free 1/2 point for new clients, but they're very quick to yank it. Took mine away w/i 2 weeks and I've read similar stories about others getting pulled in the same time frame. If you're thinking of joining BM for this freebee, think again. This is basic "Bait and Switch" BS and you need to realize it .

    Realized thanks for the tip.............. not the first time I heard it but it is enough for me not to wanna use them. They should not have to use the 1/2 point you lure you in. All the top rated books give you 1/2 points either way. BTW how much did you take them for?

    Deposited $1000 and collected $3400 after they pulled the 1/2 point promo from me. Luckily I had just completed my rollover a few days before so I got to keep the bonus money.
