Default Wagerweb has anyone gotten paid on time?

I didn't want to start a whole thread about what kind of book they are, because there has been several on that subject.
But has anyone gotten paid on time? without hassle

No, But I keep getting e-mails from them on how quick their payouts are..they are offering a 50% freeplay.

But after BJO loss I think I am just going to stay with the A books I have not had a bit of trouble with them.

While I don't have any personal problems with Wager Web, I would never try a book just for a bonus. Stick to the "A" books, and you will save yourself a lot of headaches in the long term.

You are correct Justin, but many people, including me, with not a large bankroll see this as some help.

This is my observation w/Eyeball. He is very wishy washy. One day it is I will only play with A books, then the other day he is curious about lower tier books based on SBR ratings. The people who suggest the A plus books are right on, but some people play at lower rated books for the bonuses and other benefits. Make up your mind and don't make it into a soap opera.


P.S. Not all "A"books are ethical. Herman Piso from BetJam ****ed me over by not admitting to something he told me last year. When I had SBR look into it I was shit out of luck because I didn't have it in writing. I guess it was a $1,600 lesson learned on my end, but you would think an "A" book wouldn't be as shady. Maybe Piso shouldn't have opened his trap and said something he couldn't keep his word with.

Is being cheap with a bonus worth possibly not getting any money in the long haul. Stick with an A book, many to choose from.

I posted up with Bookmaker and I am tired of the fear of lossing my money and not getting paid. After BJO I just dont think its worth it to play at anything less than a A+ book. I just dont think the reduced juice or bonuses are worth the trouble. Some of these books when you ask for your money act like its their money when they pay you. I still have some funds at a few other books but once my rollover is completed I only go to BETJAM or WSEX or BOOKmaker. Its hard enough to win and after you win you still have to fight the book,. If you get lucky the C and B books hassle you..
Its just my personal opinion.

I can find about 5 other posts where you see firm on only playing at A books. It is the way to go, yada, yada, yada.

I can find probably 15 posts about you asking of lower tier books as well.

No problems w/ you asking, but you seem insecure w/ your decision making.

Where's there's smoke, there's a good chance of fire.

Seeing one complaint here is like it being the Neilsen or Gallup polls. 1 X represents 100 (or more) others. Those others are folks that don't know about these threads. So, there must be a bucket of them.

I have read enough about them to cross them off of any possible favorable list.

In addition, they got my phone # (which I don't give out too often) from defunct BOS and are bugging the hell out of me over the phone.

There still hasn't been anyone that has come forward on this board with being slow paid. Everyone can choose to play wherever they want, but to say that Wagerweb isn''t currently paying without any specific details doesn't seem warranted. So far, only people who have come forward on this board recently have all said they have gotten paid in a satisfactory manner. Nobody has come forward claiming to not getting paid.
