    No way is this list accurate.

    Carib has repeatedly told me they don't accept any interbook transfers, I doubt they do business with Cascade (lol), Hollywood was probably on there from before they became a Jazette book, BetPhoenix just told me they don't accept any B2B transfers, etc.

    Any chance a mod could get a "real" list from Bookmaker since apparently when the avg. person asks on live chat they get some lousy info? Thanks.

    SBR Justin reports: betsuperior (SBR rating D+) player balance confiscation
    On April 10th, an employee of betsuperior enticed a large bettor he knew from working at a previous sportsbook, with a credit line of $5000. The player lost this in the casino, and paid off his debt to the house. Over the following two weeks, the player made additional deposits totaling $8500. He made some sports wagers but most of his action was in the betsuperior casino. During that time, the player and the betsuperior account representative corresponded numerous times about the casino. The player's limits were raised to $500 per hand, and the rules were adjusted to reduce the house edge to be more comparable to that of blackjack on the Las Vegas Strip. The player gave Superior high volume play, some nights putting over $1 million in action. During that period, the sportsbook gave him multiple bonuses totaling approximately $18,000. One of these bonuses was a $5,000 credit that was applied with no deposit requirements. At the end of the week two the player went on a significant winning streak bringing his balance up to $120,000. The sportsbook then confiscated the balance. betsuperior management claimed that the sportsbook employee, who was managing the account and authorized to give bonuses, should not have applied these bonuses and that the player's balance would be reduced to zero as a result. betsuperior also claimed that the player and employee were in cahoots, and cheated at Blackjack by modifying the software. No proof of this claim was offered, despite SBR's offer to analyze the player hand history. betsuperior has since been rebranded as BetSportsWeb (SBR rating D+).

    Customer service at some of these books a lot of times have old lists.

    When I made that list in March last year, I took out the books they told me that were no longer open (WWTS, etc).

    I also took out all the Cascade type stiff books.

    I can assure you that the list was 100% current 10 months ago.

    A lot changes in 10 months in this industry.

    It is beyond stupid that I have to pull money out of Skybook ** in order to send it right back to the same country **. (5Dimes)

    Why don't they just offer ** to other books?? It's the same amount of work and less fees.

    That can be asked to the customer service of each book man, CRIS's transfers have a $500 minimum with a $100 fee in most transfers

    Bookmaker/DSI are the worst for b2b fees, something to be proud of.

    Incoming transfers to any of The Greek family of Books are actually the most expensive. The 4x rollover is worse than Cris' $100 fee IMO.

    lol yep, Cascade...nothing surprises me anymore at Bookmaker.

    HH: depends, i dont mind a rollover at theGreek coz they are a very valuable out.
    But i agree, it´s a big rollover for nothing. My guess is they don´t want to be used as a bank or "trade centre"..they are the most respected book out there besides Pinny, and prolly get a lot of b2b transfers.

    Very strange. According to 5Dimes, they currently only do transfers with
    Matchbook, BetJM, CRIS, and Jazz.

    I wonder why they're still transferring with Jamaica but not Greek.

    The crazy thing is matchbook transfers to nearly every book I use for free, and I've never had it take more than 30 minutes. So many things different about WSEX and Matchbook that I can't understand since they have same ownership??? (but i must confess, i just reupped with WSEX even though I said I never would just the other day.) It really is still a valuable out for live wagering and baseball and I can live with $5o transfer fee, at least its quick and painless.

    Same ownership is a misnomer I believe, there may be some links at the very top of the chain but day-to-day management and operational control is totally separate as I understood it.

    A 4x rollover is "free" at a 20 cent Book? Get real. Almost all Books "charge" just a 1x rollover. Books make money on rollovers, and The Greek is just being overly greedy IMO.

    4x is a big deal to some, but not to others. Everyone is different.

    The worst part is that The Greek, Bet Jam and Wagerstreet make no mention of the 4x roll until you try to withdraw--not during the transfer itself. Very shady for A+ Books.

    Not sure about Greet or Wagerstreet, but BetJamaica has it clearly listed, all the way down at the bottom of the page...... seems clear enough for me, and it took me less than 30 seconds to find the information..... just click MY ACCOUNT-BANKING - Overview.

    Bet Jamaica charges no fees on in coming or out going transfers.
    4x rollover requirement for banking withdrawals or must be sent out via book transfer.

    You're correct BC, I see BetJam has finally added the 4x disclaimer. Haven't yet seen it at the Wagerstreet site, but they only transfer to The Greek and BetJam. Even though the transfer is in the family, the 4x roll still applies.

    While this thread is very informative and interesting, it is also a little disturbing to read that a site with the experience of BetCris (And the entire BetCris "family") apparently still see nothing wrong with transferring funds to Cascade.

    Why not add English Sports Betting as well, for those around long enough to recall that degenerate outfit.

    Betphoenix and Matchbook now do transfers with one another. Even better, you can open an account with BP via a transfer from MB--and still get a 15% free play (105 lines bonus program).
