OK, let me say that I've been a bettor at Cris for about 3 months and they've been great. Today, I withdrew my money into Neteller and was charged $60.00. Let me say that this was absolutely my fault. Their rules are explained and I forgot to read them....but I do believe Cris has the costliest and most unfair withdrawal fees of the top books. It cost me $60 to withdraw (Free on Fridays, which Ididn't read). I believe Pinnacle allows one free per month (any day) and cost $15.00 afterwards per withdrawal. I have no one to blame but myself, but that doesn't excuse the usurious fees that Cris charges. I do feel ripped ff even though I should've read the rules. Cris's fees are way higher than other good books. Be aware!

Pauly it is a little costy I agree

[Terris]

if its free on fridays, i wouldnt call it unfair fees...
also theres bookies that charge 2-4%, at 5000$ that would be 100-200$, while you pay 60 at Cris and have the option of a free cashout.

Btw can anyone confirm that Cris has free friday payouts? i was thinking only DSI has.

damn you boys roll big money 5k. Unless I had 500k in the bank my house was paid and earned over 300k a year I would shit playing that kind of doe. To me if I bet 300.00 on a game my tickers doing 200mph. You guys must be rich, nuts, or have balls made of titanium steel.

As my post said, I don't technically blame Cris, but... 1) why can't a service give you a warning that says "If you hit submit, this withdrawal will cost $60.00, pls. see rules for other withdrawal options". This really would be nothing more than an invoice for their fees. 2) Even though Cris isn't "wrong" their fees are MUCH higher than most other services. Pinnacle allows one free a month Cris-Fridays are free) but after that their fee would be $15 compared to $60 for Cris. Most importantly, rules should be easier to access. It was a long time since I was sent them. Bottom line... my fault, but Cris's fees are too high.

I can confirm that. It's free up to $2500 (which is $30 normally) but then everything above that goes back on the normal (somewhat hefty) fee schedule.

Bodog Instacheck is free and fast.

Great info. Cris is a good and reputable book, but I think everyone should consider what they will give up when they withdraw if its not on a Friday.

when you withdraw from cris on fridays make sure you do it by 3pm EST as i made the mistake of requesting a withdrawal at 3:15 EST and i had to wait almost 3 days and it cost 30 bucks.

also, if you send thru neteller i believe it costs the books 3.9% so a 30 dollar withdrawal fee for 2500 with 1 day a week free seems pretty good to me.

[pags11]

yeah, I just hate getting nickle and dimed...so I can see how this bothers you...

[jjgold]

Cris is a solid book but it seems they do have holes that are big

Solid with big holes?????? ... Seems like a contradiction.

[jjgold]

basically the major holes are Neteller fees and lousy software

[jjgold]

Most books have Free Neteller and Cris fees are high comapred to other books

That is called a major hole

Many players like moving money daily or every other day

The fees can be as little as 1.9%. It all depends on the deal reached between a book and Neteller. The same goes for withdrawals. They can cost the book $15 per transaction.

So I ask: why CRIS did not secure one of those bargain deals? I am sure there would be no problem doing this, as they are one of the top books with big volume.

then stick to VIP /Bodog/Intertops , which offers unlimited free withdrawals.
