Got an unsolicited phone call yesterday from America's Bookie.  I didn't answer the call as I didn't recognize the number, and they left a voicemail warning me that I had money in my America's Bookie account that I might have forgotten about, and then went on to tell me about their current bonuses.  I've never used America's Bookie in my life, so clearly they were trying to bait and switch me into returning their call to inquire about my pending money, tell me that it must have been a mistake, and then try to get me to deposit.

#12I love how you have money in "my america's bookie account" you may have never deposited but one thing they don't do is create accounts for people. I had the same thing happen at bet33 for an account i created and never funded. They emailed saying i had a $100/freeplay 15 times roll and $250 max cashout. I appreciated it and have kept them for when i'm ready to deposit. I will state i never funding my account becasue i sound like some sore of shill. Real simple, you sign up, never deposit, they throw you a $100 freeplay and you have the nerve yo call scum for it LOL!!Originally posted by skrtelfanGot an unsolicited phone call yesterday from America's Bookie.

#14just call or live chat themOriginally posted by lecubs28still haven't heard back, starting to wonder what's going on over there
but if it was a check payout it will take 3-10 biz days I believe but my experience was the shorter side of that.

#17why would the other poster and i lie, that's exactly what they said in the message. i know nothing about the book and would be happy to try out any new book that wants to give me a deposit-free bonus, except for ones that use false advertising like telling me i have "money in my account i forgot about."Comment -

#18U should try them out u will like them. I have received a few payouts from them very promptly. Also right now they have a 150% bonus for the next few weeks. If they r giving u free money also without a deposit i would take it right away, they have just given me freeplays and extra stuff so far.Originally posted by skrtelfanwhy would the other poster and i lie, that's exactly what they said in the message. i know nothing about the book and would be happy to try out any new book that wants to give me a deposit-free bonus, except for ones that use false advertising like telling me i have "money in my account i forgot about."Comment -

Read the fine print regarding Bet33's 'freeplay test drive'.
When I got it it amounted to nothing more than a fp deposit match.
Before you can withdraw any winnings from the fp you MUST make a deposit first. ( with lots if strings ).

#21Because u can speak for me and know what these guys gave me right? Neway if your to cheep to make a deposit u shouldn't be playing offshore. I have no problem depositing in places especially when they give out good bonuses and pay me very fast which Americas Bookie has done for me(this is the whole point here). But for u to just jump down my throat here is ridiculous when all i was doing is telling them what they offer, i have no need to read the fine print on something like this because im a real depositor.Originally posted by princecharlesEnough of your horseshit already!

#22You do need to deposit to cash out on the FP, but AB has been paying quickly and with very reasonable fees (approximately $20 on a $600 p2p). The biggest drawback is their 20c baseball lines, but I guess that's the price you pay for 100-150% FPs. Not a bad small Book IMO.Comment -

#23So if you have to deposit to get the free play it's just like any other free play, not "money I forgot about in my account," so they are using false advertising techniques.Comment -
