Anyone else have a hard being credited with the sign up bonus when you joined? I've had to go fax copies of my ID and a bill with my address 3 times. The first time they said it was the bill they coudn't see clearly. The second time they said they got the bill ok but didn't recieve the ID, even though I sent it again when I thought I didn't need to. The third time they said they didn't recieve anything.

Why is this all necessary when I deposited with Neteller?

I see now the're telling me they did recieve it but it's too dark. I sent different shades. My address and name are bright white that clearly stick out.

carib's bonus can not ever be withdrawn. when you request a payout,they take the bonus away. so ask yourself, is it worth it or not, going thru all the trouble that is.

bigboydan, I fully understand the rules of the bonus. It can still be used to make a bet and you can withdrawal the winnings, so in the end it still is a goog deal. But you are right it has not been worth it. It's caused me stress and time this afternoon I would have been better off capping.

Your experience Dire-Wolf is not similar to mine. Granted I have played at Carib a long time, but having to send in ID to get a bonus with them is new and maybe is unique to you. For players using Neteller, I would think there would be no ID required even to w/d, but in your case it seems they are watching your account carefully. Did you or a friend get a referral bonus when you signed up? That could be it.

Would be interested if anyone else has had similar experience to Wolf.

I don't like their bonus concept at all, take off your skirt Carib and play ball.

No lakerfan there was no referral bonus when I signed up. The only mistake I might have made is saying I heard of them at the RX when I signed up. I have been nothing but polite and patient with them even though I'm really getting pissed off with the run around. I must say what there trying to do is working because I'm thinking bothering with bonuses are a waste of time. Bonus or no bonus when I start with a book that I've planed on using for a while and it starts out like this, it leaves a sour taste and I have little respect or convidence in them. In the night I went out and scaned my Id and and emailed it to them. I sent them a message today and waiting for there response .

Dire-Wolf, I would agree with you. Is certainly a strange if not poor way to treat a customer. If there is no referral bonus involved tough to figure out what they are worried about unless they have received a lot of signups recently from one area of the world and are worried about bonus abuse, but this is strange either way.

I don't remember if Carib requested it or if I automatically send them my ID. I'm used to do that with online casinos, and always through email as faxes darkens cards. I know; I get faxes of credit cards at work and I end up calling clients all the time to request it again.

As for the sticky bonus, they must have been hit hard by bonus hunters cause I don't think I've ever seen sticky bonuses in other sportsbooks.

But I only have positive comments for their CS. If there's something I do, it's calling, emailing and chatting with CS a lot. Almost testing their patience. And from my personal experience, Carib stands above some of the A+ books in that department.
