Default BetJoint - An Impressive New Place

Just wanted to post, because I started to use BetJoint a few weeks ago. Their owner was a reliable manager at Atlas, and I decided to give them a try. As far as I can tell thus far, they are as good, if not better, than advertised - as far as reliability.

I got a $12,000 payout in less than 2 days, as promised.

They were very easy to deal with, and I feel like they are a great new option on a scene that is in need of new options.

I know they started with a relatively high rating for a new book, but I wanted to report a personal experience, in case anyone was interested.

Thanks for posting your feedback on BetJoint.

Glad to hear some positive feedback from a book for a change instead of a negative one.

BTW, Congrats on your winnings

This is actually the fourth positive experience I've heard about them in the past month. Now as far as who they are goes. BetJoint is a Costa Rica-based sportsbook founded by Mark Roberts who previously worked for BetAtlas.

Their customer service seems to be like everyone else (average) IMO. But they do offer a 25% signup bonus with a 5x's rollover which is pretty good. The one thing they do have to watch out for is the shot takers, because they do use the ASI software (I don't want to see another WagerWeb incident arise)

Na, Thats a fair question to ask if you didn't read the recent wagerweb dispute that has been going on. Anyways, the ASI software has/had a platform type flaw in it.

Hmmm so like what kind of things would it cause problems with? Like spreads or something?

Say everybook is basically at 13, and they are at 12, can they claim "Oh it meant to say 13, so all action on 12 is laid off?"

It was a past posting dispute (clerks fault for allowing the wagers to be made) and the software allowed the wagers to be entered after the games started via phoned in wagers.

Oh alright. So is Mark Roberts pretty good as founder? I know alot posters on here said BetJm so I went on that advice.

I also have registered on WSEX and Bookmaker, out of those, would you advice one over the other to put in a deposit? Thanks for your input

BetJoint seems to be getting some very positive feedback this past month or so from what I can tell. So they might be worth giving them a try, however please keep in mind that they have only been around for roughly 3 months. I personally wouldn't play their at this time though, because they haven't proven to me that they can survive the long haul just yet.

You made a very fine choice with BetJamaica. They are part of TheGreek family of books and are top tier in every way.

Now as far as Wsex and Bookmaker goes. Both of those books are places I would recommend to everyone, because they are solid.

There money in and money out is somewhat limited for them to climb the ratings ladder very far. Another book which seems to disregard the Canadian market. No Moneybookers option. Get Moneybookers and watch the players come in.

Also, internet limits are a little small.

For now, recreational book for non USA/Canadian players.
