    Post Thoughts on Bookmaker.com?

    What do you guys think of Bookmaker.com right now. I know they are an A+ rated book but I've got a couple pennies in there right now and hearing all this shit about nonstop cold calling everyday for deposits worries me a lil. Any payout issues and do you all use the *************** payout to your bank account or reg. mail or one of their other more expensive payout methods?

    Bookmaker currently have no outstanding complaint or processing issued levied against them at this time.

    They are a safe and a secure book that offer free withdraws via regular mail (1 per every calender month) or you can redeem your loyal points for a fedex check. They will cold call alot though, which is a total turnoff for me. However, I can live with it in exchange for the higher limits they offer.

    Keep in mind they have that Loyalty Program and if you get 2500 pnts, you can get a free payout. So you wouldn't have to just use the regular mail method.

    I can only go by what I see on the forum. Is it a routine type grading issue or a major one Justin?

    a) BBD clearly pointed this out already in the post above.

    b) Those points are worth $30, so it's hardly free.

    While I haven't experienced it personally, if they deem you a professional you get no loyalty points. I have also heard of players being told their account isn't eligible for the free withdrawal as well.

    Your money is safe there (as with all cris books) GL.

    I don't know of any pro players that get free withdrawals. Cris even charges for account to account transfers at their own book.

    I'd feel safer with my money at Bookmaker than I would with many banks in the US right now.

    That said, they're running a business not an ATM and they want you to leave your money with them, not transfer it out or withdraw it.

    Took me 15 days to get my last payout, but never had any trouble before that and have always been paid.

    Forgot to mention they can be very slow to grade which can be problematic if you have a large portion of your bankroll with them on one game and want to bet another one soon after.
