    I Need a New Book!
    I have been playing on Bodog for a little more than 2 years now and have been impressed with the exotics they offer and satisfied with the amount of lines they offer in general and the instant payout on winning bets. However, I have noticed recently a lot of the lines have not been great and I want some sort of bonus on deposits I make. 2 month waits for payouts also are no good. And the fact that Calvin Ayre is going to jail makes me feel a bit uneasy.

    So my question is. What book should I play? I would do BetJam but I don't turn 21 for 8 months. I am looking for a book with at least 10% cash bonus on my initial deposit... or >25% freeplay. I also want free withdrawals with no lower limits (ie I want to be able to make a $200 withdrawal without having to pay a ridiculous fee). I'm also a small time player (being a college student) so I'm looking for a $5 minimum bet with preference given to $1 or $2. I am also looking for a book that has free deposits by Credit Card or ECheck. I am hesitant to sign up for a Moneybookers account.

    So... short but sweet:
    - Preferrably no minimum deposit but if impossible nothing more than $200.
    -Deposit by ECheck or CC.
    -Free monthly withdrawals.
    -$1-5 minimum wager
    -Initial deposit bonus and reload bonus

    I have been looking at 5dimes but deposit options are terrible. I have also been looking at BetED, Heritage Sports, and Carib.

    I will switch to BetJam TheGreek for next football season but before that I am just looking for a good book to play at and maybe make some money during college bball season.

    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.

              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.

                  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?

                          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.

                              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...

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

                                    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.

                                          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...
