BetOnline or BetIslands

Speedy88 · 12-13-11 12:43 AM

Trying to move to a new book. Anyone got an opinion on either BetOnline or BetIslands. Both of them caught my eye because they are highly rated books, and because they offer good sign up bonuses (100% match free play).

Do either take CC's for deposits? And who has the better payout system?

BI. Not even close

Does the match free play mean you get the same amount you put into your account immediately?

I believe so. So if I deposit $150, they give you $150 in free play. At least I think that's what it means.

Thanks, so free play you get to keep the winnings, is that correct?

Use both if u can get around it but if not right away start with Betislands if u need your winnings fast.

BetIslands if you want zero hassle, zero run-arounds, awesome customer service and fastest p2p payouts in industry. If you don't want those things, sign up elsewhere.

No CC for BI though...

Yep pretty much. A lot of the online books offer this. I know JustBet, BetOnline, and BetIslands offer it.

I'll probably go with BetOnline. Really trying to put it on my CC, I just hate to do the run around with the other payment methods.

what are free half pts?

12-13-11 03:35 AM

just signed up for BetIslands after hearing about the fast payouts...Didn't use a promotional code, but did fill out the referral window with SBRforum. Now, gunning for that SBR Pro title and make some money. All this, after my bookie took it personal that I keep winning. Forget him!

I guess it means you get a free half a point on a spread, so no paying extra vig for .5 pts.

Are you still able to get the bonus doing it through SBR?

12-13-11 03:51 AM

Don't see any bonuses, so not sure. My balance is at 0, and I literally just signed up.

I may sign up there because it says they have a 100 percent match free play.

I want to join too. I was really hoping to pay with my CC because if I pay with my CC now I don't have to pay the bank statement til January, and I'm getting a big xmas bonus at work, so I figure I'd use that money on it. Do the other options allow you to pay with a CC?

Yeah I don't really know, I think I'm going to try to pay using Money Grammmmm or Western Unionnnn, I have never played online before and heard this is an easy way.

Go with Betislands way better CS and many more satisfied customers

Speedy88 · 12-13-11 01:13 PM

What about Bet365? How are they? They offer good bonuses and take CC. Their website design is a bit overwhelming, but I'm sure I could get used to it.

5mike5 · 12-13-11 01:51 PM

definatley not BOL, only neg. about BI is not enough options

European book. If you are not in the U.S. go with Pinnacle or Greek IMHO.

5mike5 · 12-13-11 07:06 PM

and if you are in the U.S., go with 5dimes

Justbet doesn't allow you to parlay your FP though
