Bookmaker & DSI have reduced their free payouts for diamond members from weekly to bi-weekly. Apparently because they removed a certain free withdrawal method, losing processors which were causing the major payout delays. As a diamond member, I haven't been offered any compensation for this inconvenience as of yet.

#3Yes....In my humble opinion, compensation is in order..... Two free payouts a month have been taken away which diamond customers like myself were accustomed to. These free weekly payouts were one of the factors that played a part in my decision to sign up with Bookmaker/DSI.Comment -

#4Things change, processors come and go, books have the right to change policies as necessary.
If you can't handle this sort of thing, you probably shouldn't use offshores in the current environment.Comment -

#5You can make two free withdrawals every month and you're complaining ?
That sounds to me to be way better than any other US serving book.
Even Pinnacle offers only one.
Surely you can organise your affairs so that a withdrawal once a fortnight is adequate ?Comment -

Those of us with a clue have been cut off from betpoints a long time ago and recently lost the only withdrawal method that was free b/c of processor issues. I now get zero free withdrawals per month, but you won't see me whining about it. In the current environment for US residents, sh!t happens. You either deal with it or quit using that shop.Comment -

#8Withdrawal fees are completely alien to me due to the fact that I use Moneybookers. I've never been charged to withdraw by Moneybookers although Bet911 (remember them) stated they charged a $30 withdrawal fee for Moneybookers which is why I never joined. $30! Jesus, every other site is free(except pinnacle) and it should be.Comment -

This contributes nothing when Americans are discussing payout methods/fees.Comment -

Very few of the US serving books offer free withdrawals.
I think Betjam does and Greek does if you've had action in each of the previous 4 weeks.
All UK and Aussie books offer free withdrawals to the best of my knowledge.
I too use Moneybookers for my USD accounts and it costs nothing to deposit or withdraw.Comment -

#115Dimes, Sportsbook.com group, BetOnline, Heritage all offer one free payout per month (low limits with the exception of SB, but at least they're free).Comment -

#12For me, it's absolutely imperative that the shop I use offers a free payout. Not because I'm stingy but just the principle of it. Why pay a fee to get my money back? I understand that it may cost the book a few pennies to process a payout but IMO they should chock that up to operating costs. A very small percentage of players at a given sportsbook even make a withdrawal at all. I just don't see the point of paying a fee to cash out funds that you deposited.Comment -

#14Bookmaker only good for NFL teasers & racebook rebates now!
Cash out twice or more on your bet points & those COCKSMOKING managers at Bookmaker will eventually take away your Diamond status & confiscate all your bet points!Not to mention that since he still gets betpoints it's unlikely he needs to withdraw 4X/month anyway.

#15I redeemed bet points for cash many times from both DSI & Bookmaker, over $10,000 worth. They never removed my diamond status nor confiscated bet points, as I'm sure they know I would most definitely take my business elsewhere if that ever happened.Comment -

#16Did you ever transfer funds to a competitor's book?
Maybe that's why they didn't confiscate your bet points.Bookmaker one of the two preferred books my fave NFL teaser tout usually quotes lines from & i love their 8% daily rebate on racebook exotic wagers.Unfortunately the Dept. of Justice crackdown has made me wary of keeping too much money at a book that had their domain shut down.May be truly wise to start transferring or cashing out some of your funds soon since Bookmaker is going to get a nice influx of funds for king FB shortly.Once FB season is over wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see serious problems for those seeking to cash out since the DOJ crackdown had to have cost BM seven or eight figures in losses that they probably won't be able to recoupComment -

#19Current Bookmaker management have SMALL testicles!
Numerous non-Asian handicap overseas soccer matches have strict $250 limits(even after they adjust the line).Bookmaker was TOO SCARED to post CBKB over/under numbers on ALL games until the tourneys this past year(probably after suffering STEEP losses from Right Angle Sports clients & followers the past few years).WIMPY management DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS to follow TheGreek's lead of switching from a 20 cent line down to a 10 cent line this MLB season.Throw in the domain shutdown by the DOJ & the writing is easily on the wallComment -

I have a right to say what I want as often as I want, as do you. If you don't like what's being discussed or have nothing intelligent to add, then I suggest you leave.Comment -
