Default wsex or betjamaica?

If you had to choose between the two, which place would you go and for what reasons.

Thanks

I'd go with Wsex, because they offer live betting, and if pokers yout thing. then you can take advantage of there rake free pokerroom.

WSEX, more variety, better lines. Both have excellent CS. Depends what you're looking for in a book.

If you're a novice, Betjamaica. Nice bonus programs there (if you request 25% cash, they may give it to you). Plus, 5% juice from 6 to midnight Friday nights.

If you're a high limit player, I'd go WSEX.

Customer Service is top-notch at either.

Thank You Bigboydan and others. Yes I actually am a poker room guy primarily but do enjoy betting some on the weekends. I had a bad experience with betcris poker room apx 1 month ago as they made me go into some sort of poker audit claiming I won to much money to fast so they thought a friend was chip dumping. If I deposit $2500 into a poker room and win $15,000 I don't want a "audit or review" of my account that takes 2-3 days.

Do you know how there rake free program works?

I would recommend WSEX.

I am not positive how the rake free poker works but I believe you get a rebate each week.

I'm not much of an online poker player myself. However they do a 100% of the rake being rebated to your account every week.

I would say WSEX, both good though

Software better though at BJ and much more easy to navigate. The Horse room is better at BJ. I think a tad more betting options at BJ also.

Both top class books, depends on what you are looking for imo.
Betjam has good bonuses, Wsex has none at the moment.
Wsex has higher limits on most things, they are rated as a P book.

I've never used BetJamaica but I've had a WSEX account for several months. I love their live betting. Not a lot of bonus programs but I get 3 free withdrawals a month. Sometimes they're slow to grade a wager and you have to get on them but I can't really say anything too negative. I don't know about the lines at BetJamaica. WSEX has decent lines but you can find better lines elsewhere.

They are both great. BetJam will limit/cut you if they become uncomfortable with your action, but I probably wouldn't worry about that unless you're betting dimes.

owned,

my specific reasons at this point are more that I'm pro betjamaica and don't have any experience with WSEX...I'm as impressed with the improvements betjam has made in the last year as I am with any book out there...their CS is better, payouts are fast, software layout is great, servers are awesome, -105 juice on Fridays, free neteller payouts once per month, great bonuses and promotions, not to mention they sponsor several contests around the net...that's all I got...

It would all depend on your withdraw selection you choose sir.

If you use the overnight fedex cashier check option, you should receive it in roughly 4-5 business days. However if you choose a check via regular mail you could be waiting upto 20-25 days on average, however their are posters in this post that are reporting they are still waiting on check (roughly 57 days so far due to processing issues).

WSEX
"We will send you a bank draft that works just like a check. You have the option of receiving the bank draft via regular mail (which could take up to 20 days) for a $15 fee, or by courier mail (4-7 business days) for a $50 fee. You are entitled to one free regular mail draft every 30 days."

20 days!

BetJ has a free fedex check once a month 3-5 days. 35 dollar fee after that.

Another cool think at BJ is they have a BJ card. Correct me if I am wrong, but, once you earn 1000 in sports betting they give you a BJ card that they can depost too easily and works at an ATM. Instant payments to you.

One thing thing about these bonuses at BJ are its hard to get them. You need to win 10-15x your deposit to keep the bonus.

You get 75% rakeback at wpex which is paid once a week. The competition there is one of the strongest in the internet though, I couldn't win anything as the players were so tight and obviously just living off rakeback.

Rakeback is great but they pokerroom is rockgarden. I play 1k hands poker a day and never play there.
