I Agree. I have lost all confidence in any book that offers bonuses.

Well the Greek has like a 19% bonus for first time deposits, or somthing like that. They are the ONLY bonus I would recommend a newbie seek out.

I've long since been banned from getting any bonuses there, but Intertops always seems to have some type of bonus promotion from time to time. Very safe as well, as I've been using them from 1996 with only a few minor glitches.

Has I-Tops raised their limits from $25 a game yet?

I exaggerate for effect, but their limits were way too low the last I checked them out.

Yeah, no kidding LT...It is weird though how on some sports they don't lower the limit (At least in my case) and on others they really squeeze it down. They never touched my MLB limits, but nuked me completely as far as Max NBA wager over the years.

Most places will hit the NBA hard especially if you chase steam. MLB doesn't have the big steam moves that the NBA gets or maybe I just miss them.

Betjam has a 20% signup bonus or a $100 deposit gets you a $100 freeplay.

But according to JJ they are unsafe.

Far from the truth

I don't think he was talking about sign up bonuses. It was more about re-up bonuses that worry him.

bookmaker/cris keeps calling me offering me bonuses to redeposit (or at least I keep getting emails saying "We enjoyed chatting you about a bonus on your next deposit"... I think they have my phone number in the computer wrong...)
Don't know what they are offering but I not playing with them as I'm not paying for a withdraw... (plus they bounced a check on me and didn't bother to tell me till I called them after my bank called me about it...)

I would have to say overall the Greek family of books is the best OVERALL for bonuses... There is a cap but 20% is nothing to sneeze at... I highly doubt JJ thinks they are unsafe what he ment I believe is any book that offers too big of a bonus is unsafe... The Greek has a cap...

Betroyal I noe has a history but they do deserve recognition for great incentives. I was getting 50% bonus, 10% rollover, their reduced line offer while I have been profiting off them for the past 6 months and still getting 48 hour payouts to ***.
