I Need a New Book!

BetED (SBR Rated B-) would fit your needs sir. They offer Echeck and Credit Card processing as well as the type of bonus you are seeking. Also, they currently have no outstanding complaint or processing issues levied against them at this time.

BetED would be better than Bodog for sure? Also, what about Heritage or Carib?

Or Matchbook? I couldn't find any deposit or withdrawal info on the website. I understand the general idea of the book but is it a successful and/or efficient system?

Both Carib and Heritage currently have no outstanding complaints or processing issues levied against them at this time. However, The one thing you must remember about the Carib bonuses. They are sticky bonuses, which means you can't cash them out at all.

Thank you for the information.

Thanks for the post but:

1) Sports-1 is basically a brand new book and I am looking for a more established book that I know I will be able to withdraw from to change over to BetJam in 8 months.

2) Any bonus requires a deposit of $300 or more.

try justbet and ask for the 110 freeplay from frankie

etothep · 11-03-08, 04:37 PM

you'd have to check their withdrawl methods, but BetOnline meets the other requirements

BetOnline looked great but they have no free withdrawals

Otherwise I'd already have deposited there.

Can't stand the software for JustBet. Sorry.

Glad to see more responses to the thread though

I've also been looking more @ JazzBet, JazzSports, and LooseLines. They all look pretty good but I can't find much info on withdrawals. Anybody use Jazz?

Also, nobody responded to my question about MatchBook. Is it a good place to play NCAAB?

"Sic" · 11-03-08, 06:04 PM

Matchbook is good for anything...Not sure about the payouts though

The DPT Sports Group currently have no outstanding complaint and or processing issues levied against them at this time. However, their withdraw fees for overnight checks are a bit high ($85 with a max withdraw of $2,500).

An update: I narrowed my decision down to (in no particular order)
1) 5Dimes
2) BetED
3) BetOnline
4) Wagerstreet
5) Bodog

(for the next 8 months until I can shift over to BetJam or TheGreek). If you don't want to read my notes, I need some info on Wagerstreet and depositing with AllAccess gift card (how long it takes to process, how easy it is, etc).

I decided against 5Dimes because it is all but impossible to deposit. I want to be able to use ECheck and 5Dimes has made it all but impossible to use that to deposit. Plus no bonus for ECheck deposit anyway.

I decided against BetOnline because of some of the complaints and concerns raised on this forum over the last few weeks and also their lack of deposit options. Also only a 10% deposit bonus.

The jury is still out on Wagerstreet. $10 fee for a check that takes 1 week to arrive is not bad at all when I look back. Association with TheGreek also makes it an attractive book. However, it looks like I would be limited to depositing using an AllAccess card. I am not familiar with this process. How long does it take to fund the card and then switch the funds over to Wagerstreet? Is it worth waiting for the 30% bonus they are offering on new deposits via giftcard?

The other book I am looking at is BetED. 20% bonus with instant credit through deposit via instacheck. I really like the software and it looks like a good book - easy to deposit AND withdraw. Really the only reason I have not deposited already is they limit the MLs you can play in parlays. (Nothing over -300)

Still considering redepositing on Bodog. Their software is so easy to use and they have a ton of great exotics. I just don't want to have to wait to get some sort of reload bonus as I missed out on the 10% reload they had a couple weeks ago.

Either way will make a decision by 6pm tonight so I can bet the games tonight.

Another note about BetED for all those interested:
I called customer service this morning to ask about their bonuses and deposit practices and they were VERY helpful. Phone rang 3 times and someone picked up, asked several questions and guy got his manager to approve a bigger deposit bonus and I was off the phone in less than 4 minutes.

dwest718 · 11-18-08, 02:43 PM

Decided on BetED.

Still determining whether I want to play on Bodog and/or Wagerstreet as well. Don't see too many props/exotics on BetED/Wagerstreet so may make a small deposit on Bodog...

St.Aquinas · 11-18-08, 02:53 PM

Even though BetEd takes CC's, they have low limits.

BET-JAM 4 ME- I AM A SMALL PLAYER-GREAT SERVICE-TRIED ABOUT A DOZEN OTHERS-THIS IS MY ADVICE-GL SIR-

dwest718 · 11-26-08, 01:52 AM

Just wanted to say that for a low limits player like myself, BetED is a great book. Very glad I made the switch from Bodog.

Nice reload bonuses too. And fairly good poker setup for a site that is definitely Sportsbook first.

Will have to consider the switch to TheGreek or BetJam in 9 months when it comes down to it.

Because I live in the US and 188bet does not take new signups from the US.

That... and the book apparently doesn't exist.

bad_ass · 11-29-08, 05:32 AM

Why don't you try 12bet, their age limit is only 18yrs old, withdrawal process is within 24 hours, no fee for withdrawal too...

they also offering a 20% bonus sign up for first deposit.. accepting usd currency, might be the book you are looking for...
