[mad]

Found one here in Oz, licensed bookmaker. Might not be for all, but nice nontheless.

New accounts only, 20% bonus, max bonus 1k, 1x rollover, must be CC.

Not for everyone but someone might fancy it (like me )

[Fishhead]

WSEX normally has one every year for football.

Off subject --- Mad nice Avatar.

I got one from lion sportsbook for 25% and 20%reloads

I see that their D rating was only initiated by SBR yesterday. So that begs the question - How long have LionSportsbook been around for? Also, has anybody played there before please?

[Kaka]

Haven´t heard of any yet...

Wait a few weeks and we will have football promos all over :-)

[ourbet]

FWIW...here's something from BetMania (SBR B-), which I received by email a couple of hours ago.

P.S. Oops, sorry. This isn't a reload bonus but a sign-up bonus. It's still the middle of the night here, so I hope you'll accept my apology.

[rm18]

Is it ok to sign up here if you are already with Skybook?

[HAPPY BOY]

Got my early bird special from First Fidelity 35% re-up by aug 3. Does CRIS give any type of early extra bonus??

I have a question for Bill Dozer, SBR John or anyone familiar with Betmania.

I'm planning on loading 5 dimes with Betmania and do you think it's safe to play with them and keep my money there for during football season?

[JoshW]

Is it ok to sign up here if you are already with Skybook?

Seems to be ok. I have been cut off from all bonuses at Skybook, but even though I made sure they knew that and the rep talked the manager, they said that was ok. I don't chase steam with them and just bet when they have the best price and am generally limited to 500 on most bets. So you should be ok.

SBR recommends everyone play at B+ books or better while Betmania is rated a B-. For me that sort of used to seem like a throw away phrase and you could get by playing at lesser B and C books, but in the present climate who knows. Skybook has been around a while and have a pretty much spotless record on payouts. They are backing Mania.

[HAPPY BOY]

whats the deal with FF they are now a b rated book but have been around for a real long time. Bill or BBd or any other SBR memeber please let me know are these cats still solid ? I was burned once by ESB, last year FF paid on all my wagers (avg withdrawl was 2k) should I re-up or are these guys in any kind of trouble? I know they advertise on sirus satlelite radio on Howards show please give me feed back. I know one reason there not ranked higher than a B is due to there aggresive marketing tactics. Whats up?

[bigboydan]

HB, i don't feel you will have a problem with them bud. although you may want to checkout there bonus structure rules first.

heres the latest SBR wire reports on them.

you might want to checkout thegreek if you haven't played there before, because they offer a 21% signup bonus to new customers.

[pags11]

I wouldn't play with betmania...never have heard of these guys...

[marc]

IF you have an account at skybook, or have an old account at betmill I'd be careful about going to betmanai.

I asked the Cs person if I could get the bonus at betmania eventhough I had an account st Sky and he said yes. A short while later I went ahead and deposited 5k. I then asked for the bonus. I was then told that Erick the line manager wanted to speak to me. He told me he was the line manager at Betmill and reecognized my name. He said betmania really just wants recreational players, and he didn't consider me to be a recreational player. So the most he was willing to offer was a 10% bonus 5x roll. SO I just asked for my money back, which they sent right away.

I have no idea what wuld have happened, had a day or two gone by, before Erick saw me playing. Not sure if they would have let me keep the bonus or if they would have taken it back.

[Santo]

ThePIG have opened up also, an offshoot of Legendz

[ourbet]

Do they share something else with Legendz Santo? An ability to post VERY late, uncompetitive lines!

[Santo]

I don't know how fast their lines will go up.. Shrink's place is advertising a 14% launch bonus, dimeline on bases, -108 on other stuff.

[spliff]

I have to stick up for Legendz here- I made 2 wd's there in spring and they were the easiest wd's I have ever made over the phone. Really nice staff.

The also gave me a $25 3 teamer for letting them know about a line they left up late.

Nice place IMO

FYI I just wanted to let you all know that BetCom (SBR B+) is currently hitting the phones and offering a 30% redeposit bonus. Btw, I didn’t actually take the call, so right now I’m trying to find out all the ins and outs…anyway, I’ll let this forum know more details just as soon as I get them.

[ourbet]

FYI...I received an email yesterday from "igotgaming" (SBR unrated), apparently a part or division of igotsports (SBR D); they are offering a 50% sign-up bonus and 20% redeposit bonuses. FWIW previous SBR posts suggest there may be a close tie-in with BetOnSports' (SBR D-) owner Gary Kaplan.

[koko]

Betcris called with this offer

Post up now and receive:

20% Freeplay (up to $1,000)
1 Entry to our mini-Blackjack Tournament
2 Office Pool Squares
(Some restrictions apply)

Hollywood offered a 20% unlimited reload with 10x deposit rollover. I would have been all over this BEFORE the site was gobbled up by sportingbet. However, things haven't been the same since the takeover, and I really don't trust an "unlimited" bonus from sportngbet (or any low rated) site.

[rolemand]

FWIW last year the Betcris free play had to be used on a NFL season win total

[djmixerchris]

is betcris going to come out with the 20% fp on any deposit like they had last football season......

[Santo]

BetCRIS told me last year I didn't qualify for a bonus because i'd be redepositing "their" money as I was ahead on them..

I like how it remains their money for eternity ;-)

Interestingly, that's a direct contradiction of their rules on site:

37. In order to make any withdrawals, any client who receives a bonus must play the initial deposit, fees, and bonus a specified number of times in sports book volume (this is defined as roll over). Betmania requires a five-time roll over to qualify for any bonus retention or paid fees.

Wonder what the truth is ;o)
