Blacklisted by bookmaker- (??????)

Somebody somewhere will have a record of it.

Ultimately, they want your money and your business, so, if they can clear you, they will.

CRIS is Bookmaker.

I would keep persuing it (800 lines are free) and just deposit with some other method than credit card in the meantime.

Something obviously tripped the red flag alarm, false alarms can be frustrating especially when it may be a slight to your personal integrity - but they're just doing their jobs. You can write to help@sportsbookreview.com with your account # and information, and we can follow up on your behalf if you'd like.

I know that CRIS is bookmaker. I've been gambling off shore for a while. Quite frankly, I'm afraid to deposit now. They basically told me I was a cheat. I run up balances of $4,000- $5,000 at times. I can't trust them now after this. It really sucks. I was shocked when the manager told me. It makes no sense at all.

I appreciate that Lou. I'll send the appropriate info. It's discouraging and insulting to me. I'm solid as a rock. I have used instant check at $1,500 clips and never had an issue. They told me I can fund another way, but I don't feel comfortable funding a book that has labeled me a cheat. I have no recourse if they don't pay. Thanks

Good job Lou, That is the sort of service that SBR can offer that really benefits the player. The fact that you guys have good contacts at Bookmaker is a big help here too.

GL with it all Coming Back! Let us know how it ends up.

I called today to make an instant check deposit and I was told I have a cash only account. I asked for a manager and he explained to me that I was put on A BLACKLIST FOR DOING A **********. I never ever in my life did a ********** EVER. I pay all my debts and doing a ********** is equivalent to stealing. I was really insulted and offended. I've lost a small fortune to CRIS over the years and always paid my debts. This is the thanks I get.

I was told that they didn't put me on the list, but when I called THEGREEK I was told that I wasn't on any ********** list. So, obviously I was put on the list by CRIS. The manager had the nerve to tell me that I probably did a chagreback in the past and didn't realize it. Unreal. I repeat- I never ever did a ********** ever.

bookmaker did the same exact thing to me last week,i emailed them about why only a few deposit options showed up when i log in,no ****,or ewallet,they wrote back saying i am a cash customer only as per the fraud department,i honestly never charged back anywhere or bounced an echeck,nothing like that,manager would not tell me anything other that i am a cash only customer now,i have bet with them almost everyday for years and years,makes no sense to me as i have gotten killed with them,i agree with coming back,i can not ever play with them now as they think i am a crook

Don't take it too personally guys. Simply a business decision. Maybe a mistake or some other red flag. BOL.

It is also possible that for whatever reason they identified you as a potential ********** risk, maybe a heated live chat exchange, etc etc. At the end of the day, it's the book's objective (and right) to do whatever they deem necessary to make sure their processors stay intact.

I just want to thank Lou on the forum for getting back to me in a timely fashion. In conclusion of my story, I recently had money refunded to my debit card by naked.com, a porn site. (Not only am I compulsive gambler, but I watch porn too). Anyway, they wrongly billed me and apologized for my inconvenience. I didn't think of it as a **********. That may of red flagged my account somehow. I don't understand how or why, but it's the only thing I could think of. I NEVER EVER CHARGEBACKED FROM A GAMING ACCOUNT, EVEN WHEN I WAS GETTING SHAFTED BY SPORTSBOOK.COM 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE BLACKLISTED.

All bookmaker had to do was look at my history with them. I've made 100s of Credit Card deposits without an issue. I've also made 2- $1,500 instant check deposits within the last month without issue.

Unfortunately, I think this is it for me gambling online. How could I use them again, when there is a note on my account that labels me a cheat? As Lou said, it's the book's objective to do what they deem necessary, etc,etc. Well, guess what folks, it's my objective not to use them or any other offshore book again!! Trust me, it's gonna be their LOSS

Off topic, their policy of 1 payout per week isn't A+ in my opinion. I'm honestly a terrible gambler. I lose, get angry, and make dumb bets as I hopelessly try to get my money back. I can't tell you how many times that I lost money because of their 1 payout per week policy. It's not cool having money you won being held hostage. I understand their are processing issues, but the greek doesn't have that policy. If you win, you won- congrats, you should get your money whenever you want.

Enjoy the 4th of July weekend. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!!!!

that happened to me too and I think it was out of a heated chat exchange with oddsmaker because they wouldnt pay me the money I withdrew 2 months prior
