Default My Litmus test for the safest books

There's A-rated, but there's another factor to look at:

Does the book do book to book transfers with Pinnacle? If yes, that's another step up.

Why doesn't Betonline to book to book with Pinnacle? Or ThePig?

Since I can't use Pinny anymore, Cris would be the book I want on a Book's transfer list.

Yeah I wonder if for a lot of them it's less a sign of safety and whether Pinny trusts them and more just a sign of their size and clientele's needs.

If they do transfers with any book, they are probably a good book.

tons of books do no transfers, even Bodog.

sure, incoming !

What's the difference if CRIS books even do outgoing transfers, given the high fees ?

At this time they only do them on managements approval in an extremely limited capacity until further notice sir.

Setting up an account to do transfers at pinnacle takes away free withdrawal/deposit's FOR LIFE.

In other words, unless that is your only funding option and will be forever, it's not worth it.


That said, this is of course sometimes a good measure of where a book stands financially.

Any other reason to believe BetOnline is in serious trouble? I notice the hassles paying out to Europe but that seems to be standard practice there.
