#213If you register an account at betmaker their cs immediately call you about depositing and their services etc. I did so and still have yet to fund there and have been called twice.
either way if you have some concerns the cs rep that called me has been helpful so i suggest giving them a call rather then depending on people from the forum.Comment -

#214i only see 2 ways to deposit in the US. *** and ****. that's it. i want to try them out but do not like that they are owned by BOOKMAKER or that costs are high for withdrawls(don't think any withdrawals are free.) and now you can't deposit easily either. was on the phone with cathy(runs deposits) 4 days ago. told me i could deposit with ******* *******, and would call me back with info. never called back. i guess because they eliminated instant deposit. but could have called back to tell what my alternatives are and that they no long support ******* *******. maybe they are not interested in new business enough.Last edited by shari91; 03-21-11, 06:34 AM.Comment -

#216I have read every post in this thread and it really is that hard to sort out the facts from the crap. I have also looked at their site and found little information relating to some of the things which have been posted about how it works. I never asked about b2b. So if I don't need a Bookmaker account to open one and play at Betmaker what's all this about a rollover ? What about withdrawal fees? I obviously have specific questions and if you were to read my previous posts you would have seen them. But instead you chose to come in with your arrogant attitude and comments.
And is even better today! NBA was very solid today too. UFC was great last night. And some good golf markets today also. Im very satisfied with what I see!Comment -

But judging by the fact that the liquidity is 10x what is was the first day I started there I guess many people did use those methods.

#220Call them!!! Im sure they will help you. Def some weird stuff the first time you use everything... the cashier, the platform etc. But I thought that same thing when I went from Tradesports to Matchbook.Comment -

#221Betmaker now appears to be adding 2nd half lines!
If you refreshed at half of the UNC/Wash game, under NCAABB there was a 2nd half option!
Progress!Comment -

#223..... As far as the deposit options disappearing - ****** and ** - I was told that right now the deposits are very limited due to crack downs at processors. Deposits are limited to the two money transfer outfits, **** and book to book transfers. Once you have a history with Betmaker, I was told they would make the two deposit methods available they removed available to you. Again, not the greatest news as ******* ******* and ** are a great way to get money deposited. But FWIW, I am able to use those right now because I deposited almost 3 weeks ago, and have built enough trust I guess. But as far as the other methods, I know some banks allow ******* ***** and this will get your money there in three days.
There is also the option of transferring in Book to Book. But you will have to follow the rollover rules of the book you deposit at. On the book to book topic... You can transfer from one property (DSI, Bookmaker) to another free of charge with no rollovers or fees on the Bookmaker side.
You can also do account to account transfer free of charge like Tradesports would allow back in the day. Not bad if you have a buddy who has an account there and you have a way to send him some money and a few extra bucks. Was a great way to make a few percent back in the Tradesports days. My account is growing at Betmaker, so I might be up for a few transfers
Withdrawal methods are still weak - and will remain so it seems. **** $55 plus .5%. ******* ***** $50 up to $3000. And $81 min for use of a ***** ******** **** - but that fee could go up depending on the amount. Cant say Im excited about any of these....
And since that post they have agreed to add $9 regular mail ***** up to $3000.Last edited by shari91; 03-21-11, 06:42 AM.Comment -

#226$81 min for use of a money transfer site !!
coming and/or going ?
presumably that includes Moneybookers?
so can you confirm that I can ignore Bookmaker altogether and simply open an account at Betmaker and play there with no rollover requirements?Comment -

I have no idea the Moneybookers fees. And from what Betmaker has told me - if there was no fee to deposit to Bookmaker then there would be no rollover transfering to Betmaker. But if you used a ** obviously there was a cost to Bookmaker. So Id just deposit via Moneybookers since you arent in the USA. Just call and ask the fee - of there is oneLast edited by shari91; 03-21-11, 06:43 AM.Comment -

#228$81 to get a $840 withdrawal on the same day. In bound you pay the $10 fee to send your $840.

Moneybookers do charge merchants fees just as ************ do so they probably do hit you
$81 to withdraw $840 seems exorbitant to me, add it to $10 inbound is >10%
still struggling to see how this can work out better than MBLast edited by shari91; 03-21-11, 06:43 AM.Comment -

#230agreed, they need to be quicker at updating the lines, also they should imitate matchbook and show multiple lines for those that still want to bet on lines previously put up.local forum trollComment -

#231just got an email explaining my deposit options here in the US. **-** or **. there is a fee for all depoits. $15 plus whatever else you have to pay to the 3rd party you use for the deposit. then they have high withdrawl fees. plus the commision. maybe sometime in the future when there is MUCH MORE liquidity it may be worth paying all these fees. not now. not to me. they should cover at least the deposit fee. and be glad they have another customer they can get commisions from and have more liquidity with thier help. it's too much of a pain in the ass to only have 2 or 3 deposit options( none of which i can do from my home,without ridiculous fees) and to pay them for the privilege of playing there.Last edited by shari91; 03-21-11, 03:48 PM.Comment -

#235Hey everyone -
As you can see throughout this thread, beginning with the first post, please do not continue to refer to withdrawal or deposit methods. If you have specific enquiries about processing methods or require further clarification, you can direct those to Betmaker or ask a fellow poster via private messaging.Comment -

But with the great prices and liquidity available on the stale line - makes it very easy to find a magic # with another site where you win on both sidesJust have to do a little homework.

$35 for me - any amount up to $9999.Last edited by shari91; 03-21-11, 03:48 PM.Comment -

#239Well there are some games at BM where liquidity isn't great ,and others where it's quite good. I don't recall matchbook really being different in that regard, there were often games where liquidity was bad there also! Personally I wish I could have an account at both - best of both worlds! But being from the US, Matchbook is not an option...Comment -

If you goto NCAA (and we know Hareeba, you are the one guy who doesnt care about NCAA - but take a look, buddy.) Mathcbook has ONE, yes ONE price and liquidity of $228 on each side of the NCAA spreads, MLs and totals. While Betmaker has multiple prices and much more liquidity.

They are listed under NCAA, Thurs and Fri. They are there with a ton of prices up.Comment -

#245You are nothing but a shill joke. You took one total out of about 20 listed games - and typed in your response instead of a copy and paste. I wont waste the space again with a 5 screen long response, but right now Betmaker odds are equal to or better than MB in about 75% of the lines, and liquidity is the same - and thats just the NBA.
And again today;
NHL Toronto @ Minnesota
BM +108 -113 for some peanuts on offer
MB +109 -111 for higher offers and I've already been matched for a tidy sum

perhaps this is a sign that what MB said about the US players not being the backbone of their site is correct as I would think there is probably very little interest in it outside of the US as compared with the pro sportsComment
