    Greek done with US....

    Dear Client,



    TheGreek.com is leaving the US market. However, we have arranged for your account to be transferred to the exclusive Heritage Sportsbook. Heritage Sports is a VIP - invitation only - sportsbook. Your VIP status will let you enjoy reduced juice, enhanced re-load bonuses, free weekly contests, one-of-a-kind perks, and the VIP service that Heritage Sports is legendary for. These accounts are well sought after as Heritage is not open to the general public, and only give out a limited number of invitations each year.

    The transfer of your account has been designed to be quick and easy. Follow the link below to verify your current information. Enter your username and password for TheGreek.com to automatically transfer your current balance to your new account. On top of your balance, Heritage is giving a 10% welcome free play that you can use right away!

    We thank you for your patronage, and are confident you will be in good hands at Heritage. All fund transfers are being guaranteed by The Greek, so you can be assured that you can continue to "Sweat the Game, and not the Payout."



    Regards,

    FAQ


    • Q: Why was Heritage chosen to transfer my account to?
    • A: In today's market Heritage offers the best value and they are rock solid financially. Here are a few of the benefits received by Heritage members:


      1. Reduced Juice
      2. A progressive re-load bonus that goes as high as 30% on re-deposits
      3. Incredible promotions like "Get Out of Your Bet at 1/2 Time for Free", Free Birthday and Holiday Free Plays etc
      4. No telemarketing for deposits


      As you may or may not know Heritage is Invitation Only. Due to this transfer, there will be no further invitations going out this year from Heritage.
    • Q: Will I have a roll over requirement on my balance that you have transferred?
    • A: Absolutely not. Not only will there be no roll over requirement, you will receive a 10% Free Play on your existing balance as a welcome gift from Heritage (maximum $100).
    • Q: What if I already have an account at Heritage?
    • A: Your balance will be transferred and you will still receive your 10% Free Play.
    • Q: What if I do not want an account at Heritage? What if I want all my money now?
    • A: You will promptly receive 100% of your funds. This is personally guaranteed by The Greek. However you will not receive the 10% free play and you will lose the option to have an invitation from Heritage.

    From the SBR Home Page...

    BetJamaica to close today; TheGreek no longer booking US players

    BetJamaica Players
    After 8 years BetJamaica will close its doors. Non-US account holders will see their accounts moved to parent sportsbook, TheGreek (SBR rating A+). If the player already has an account at TheGreek balances will be merged. The remainder of BetJamaica players will be moved to Heritage Sportsbook (SBR rating B+).

    TheGreek's USA-based players
    Accounts held by players within the USA will be moved to Heritage Sportsbook. SBR spoke with Spiro, yesterday who stated that he personally guarantees player funds and payouts with Heritage Sports. Players with balances are free to play or withdraw their funds from Heritage as if accounts were still at TheGreek or BetJamaica. Players will be asked to acknowledge the account transfer to Heritage when first logging in to HeritageSports.com.

    Interesting that it's Heritage picking up the US business, given that they just acquired Horizon too. It used to be Phoenix doing all the buy outs.

    Agreed. Total disaster! and the thing said they are some VIP invitation only book. They have no selection and huge juice. I will probably just cash out.

    Going from Greek to Heritage is a big jump. Heritage doesn't like winners, Greek pays them with no problemo

    Baseball juice is exactly the same as the greek dipshit.

    I tried transferring the account from the Greek to the Heritage now in it worked this time for whatever reason. I'm sure your account is temporarily disabled until all or most accounts have been transferred to the Heritage. For security/fraud purposes..

    Agree, the Heritage lines suck. Good for the underdog, not for the favorite. IMO At least we are getting 10% free play.

    5dimes will not do transfers of accounts with the Heritage. So you have to cash out first.

    Bad news of the day... just logged in this morning and got the message. I went from Matchbook (fall 2010) to DSI (winter 2010-11) and then just two months back moved the balance to thegreek. I left matchy obviously due to exit of the US market, DSI due to limits, and now sadly greek is also gone.

    This is very frustrating, and many of us question the worth of going the 'extra mile' to sports wager. For some with small balances it's not and they quit, others have locals. For me it is worth going through any hassle, as the rewards are great. Sadly, greek was the last remaining US-open book with large (unrestricted) limits, which effectively brings the discussion to having a runner.

    Anyone know a pinny runner taking customers, please ping me. I'll make it worth your while.

    and who said I bet baseball dipshit? There are tons of other shit to bet on that nightly coin flipping. How about soccer, tennis, boxing, and rugby? That's what I like.

    The greek was the best US book IMO. I am sick and disgusted. Looking for a silver lining here...

    **** this, what a shocker.
    And they announce it on a weekend, which is, conveniently, when Heritage has no payout department. Great. Disappointing finish to the Greek. I've been with them for 10+ years, and they don't give me the courtesy of a heads up on this, nor a payout.
    They say they guarantee payouts at Heritage, but that doesn't mean much. If Heritage goes under, it doesn't mean anything.
    Heritage might be a good book, but I'm going to close out and then wait and see if Heritage weathers the storm.

    I'm with you. I don't know much about Heritage but what I've seen isn't impressive. Team totals released at random throughout the day. Ridiculous. I tolerated the Greek's 20c baseball totals because they took big bets and wouldn't limit and treat you like garbage if you won.

    I don't appreciate the Greek not processing the withdrawals. I don't want to have an account or play at Heritage. At least give me the common courtesy of having that option.

    I'll be requesting a payout Monday.
