100% agree. Other Books are exiting the US left and right, but BI is embracing our action--and asking how they can improve. How can anyone fault this?

BTW, just completed my RO and looking forward to my first free withdrawal at BI.

Update: 1k payout received in under 3 hours (thanks Ryan).

Well said. Jon is good people and knows how to run a legit shop. Cashed out 1k on Monday via transfer. Only took a few hours. Very fast. Their CS, betting options, and lines are great.

Any chance we get Bet Islands added to the SBR Odds page?

**wtt0315** · 07-27-11, 10:27 AM

i have played there this week after i lost my betjam account. their cs is good and quick, betting options is great and transfers are smooth. only small problem is rollovers are extremely high. 9 x and i dont like the rollover counts on your winnings of the freeplay. i deposited 100 and 100 freeplay and won 300 on the freeplay so know i am looking at 3600 rollover on a 100 dollar deposit. they do give a casino loss rebate but its a 50 times rollover

i miss betjams 15 percent cash with 3 times rollover but i guess i am not getting that again but all in all it seems like a good book.

**scott235** · 07-27-11, 10:42 AM

...seen this many times before. Only time will tell if this book is worth a sh*t. Amazing how quickly the Fishead void is being filled. Beware of posters shilling for favors from books. Just sayin....

Pretty much the same as you see on the Jazz feed. Only difference is BI has a dimeline up to -190 on Bases so you get slightly better odds than Jazz after -150.

**Betislands** · 07-27-11, 10:53 AM

Hi guys,

15% cash 3 x roll is now in place.

Enjoy,

Jon

**BigDaddy** · 07-27-11, 11:11 AM

one thing i wish BI would add is a birthday free play for clients that have deposited into their accounts.

i called on my birthday last month and was told no even though i have posted up with them before.

books like betjam and heritage do that for customers that use them for the year.

even though i am still going to reup with them this football season and hopefully they will hook me up with another 100% bonus

Been at BetIslands for 2 months now and I love it! Was with BetJamaica for 6 years and even if they would have stayed open I would have switched this to my primary book. Thanks Jon....keep up the good work

**4seasons** · 07-27-11, 11:13 PM

Like a lot of what I'm reading

**secretstash** · 07-28-11, 02:34 AM

John how bout matching Legends best bonus they ever offer (1st month of football) they usually do 50% cash with a 5X roll.. if u can even fathom doing that, u guys will have LOADS of clients!

with that being said I think the 100% fp deals are more than fair (as long as u throw in a few times/or special occasions for reloads

)

**rumple** · 07-28-11, 03:45 AM

Im hoping they roll out 100% fp reload for football season.

**GoldenRichards** · 07-28-11, 06:18 AM

Hearing all good things about Bet Islands

**macb** · 07-28-11, 06:58 AM

Hi Stash,

We will be offering a pretty good bonus plan for football , our new website should be on the air within a week and all of our updated bonus will be included.

I will say this , cash is involved.

Thanks!

Jon

**Jesus Christ** · 07-28-11, 11:29 PM

Loved this book played there for nearly a month and got 3 payouts without any kind of problem...excellent customer service...If they ever update their parlay options(MMA/tennis)...I will def reup with them.

Yes!!!"!

**Legions36** · 07-29-11, 12:51 AM

They are the sh-it great lines, great bonus, and fastest payouts ever for me.

**Dark Horse** · 07-29-11, 02:55 AM

I try to give Jon my money a lot faster than he wants to take it. Every time I try to make a more interesting bet I run into a limit. Kind of feels like my money is stuck in limbo. If you have a rollover to meet, forget about scalping out of this place. A tightly run ship, but too tight can be counterproductive. Example. Offering futures for Dutch soccer is great. But if you want to play three teams, you can probably buy a couple of extra pieces of chewing gum at the end of the season. Limit per team is 100 bucks. That's redefining recreational. It's my own fault, though. I shouldn't have expected that this would be Wagerchief right away. I have no doubt Jon knows how to build and develop the place. But at this point in the process the ultra positive feedback is a little on the excessive side.

**HedgeHog** · 07-29-11, 05:38 AM

DH, I made my RO with bases. Can easily find a few good lines daily to hit for $500 to $1000.

**Betislands** · 07-29-11, 08:51 AM

Hi Dark Horse,

As always thanks for your opinion.

I will explain honestly why the limits on soccer props are so low, because a book can get hurt easily on those.. right now I am giving out healthy freeplays , with a true dimeline so I am trying to keep my exposure low on exotics.

Those limits are for everyone coming out of the gate if you or anyone wants higher limits contact me.
Our football limits will be much larger than baseball so I am sure you will be pleased. (-107)

I would not call us a purely recreational shop since I will never limit anyone on mainstream sports to less than $500 , then why book them ?
I find cutting limits into anything less than that when a client has a rollover to meet is certainly unfair , for me to cut someone they really have to beat the number day in and day out.

I understand people bet to win , not to lose and re up and get a bonus I am ok with that and I do not punish players for winning if I did I think i would be in the wrong line of business , I will say it again unless you beat the closing number 4 out of 6 times for days in a row then you have nothing to worry about..and if you do worst case scenario I ask you for your plays

You guys know I am all about fairness and giving US players a voice in my shop , always feel free to do so.

Cheers!

Jon

**Gio21** · 07-29-11, 09:28 AM

Thanks again Jon for taking care of us. I want to deposit but I'm going to wait and see your football promos first. Once again thanks for your hard work!

**JDUB07** · 07-29-11, 05:17 PM

Definitely looking forward to football and -107. I had always sort of planned that as the 'real' start of the new BetIslands, with this period as a warmup.

As to futbol futures, that money is in the bank until next May when the European seasons end. Futures are fun when you can mess around with them a little. As you probably know, the Dutch soccer season has been decided on the final day of play for several years in a row now. So that could set up some interesting scenarios. But setting a 100 dollar limit makes these futures pointless to anyone who would find an edge. It may be better not to offer them at all, instead of communicating to the player that his money is welcome as long as he doesn't know what he's doing.
