Just a heads up players, bookmaker.com is without a doubt, the worst sportsbook out there.

I know a lot of people come on here looking for online gaming sites, stay away from bookmaker.eu (it use to be bookmaker.com)....they over charged my credit card for my initial deposit, then they told me to photo copy my credit card statement and send it to them (yea RIGHT!!!) and they would re-imburse my account. If that wasn't enough, they screwed me out of my sign up bonus. They're complete GARBAGE!!!

Just take Pinnacle. Their odds make up for every bonus and I never had any trouble with them.

Honestly, you don't know what you are talking about. They are SUPER RELIABLE. If you start accepting bonuses and you don't know what are the conditions to cash out (roll overs) than it is YOUR FAULT.

It is normal that they ask for copies etc. They overcharged me too for my first deposit (one of them) because sometimes there is a glitch. They refunded me all of my money in my account.

I cashed out twice a couple of Ks and it was in my bank account the same week.

Really....

I've played for years at 5dimes but just started using bookmaker this weekend for college football...had a solid weekend and requested a payout last night (all my paperwork was submitted correctly and approved before the weekend even started) so bookmaker is now on the clock...it is a MG payout...in the past on 5dimes I've gotten them usually in my hands within 36 hours of the request being submitted so bookmaker is now on the clock...I will say I really like that the money is taken out of you're available balance instantly after you're payout request on bookmaker so there is no temptation to bet the money that is apart of your payout like on 5dimes...I'll keep people updated

Because I say they are reliable means I work for them?  Nice logic, idiot

Have received 2 checks in the last 2 weeks from bookmaker. They come in Canadian checks. Teller looked at it kind of funny but no questions and no problems depositing it into my acct.

To be honest, i agree: Bookmaker has been one of the best ( they are only one of a couple I will even deal with). They have consistently paid out!
Try using bitcoin.It's sort of hard to acquire still, but a lot easier to use as a deposit option (transaction fees are negligible).

I've always found BookMaker to be one of the best. 

Not saying you didn't get dicked around, but they're far from the worst book out there. I always feel safe with my money on there. I'd trust them more than BetOnline or 5Dimes (neither ever gave me trouble, but BOL make it hard to cash out sometimes because they keep adding bonuses you never requested to your account, and even if you don't touch it you have to go and officialy ask them to take it back off before you can re-request a payout.. sleazy operation. 5Dimes are good, but Tony the manager sounds like a 14 year old ragetard if you look at any of the countless complaints online.. I'd have to have some technical error occur on my account and have to ask for help from them).

Bookmaker is safe. If there's been a problem, just comply with their requests and you'll be fine. They're not one of the shady ones.

Bonuses are for chumps - even the when they pay your MG or WU fee suddenly ($20) half your $500 deposit gets held hostage if you want a payout.

I've learned my lesson, Pinacle is great and on the level but no matter who: moving money freely with little or no fees is pretty much impossible.

I highly recommend getting a local book as they all farm out their office to a virtual office meaning we the players have an 800 to call and better yet we have a 24hr web site with live betting and so on and so forth.

Money changes hand locally or if you are lucky like I am you can transfer money back and forth between bank accounts/ATM.

My agent is in Florida and I sent him an ATM card that I use just for this. I transfer money into the account, tell him to take out $ with the ATM card and voila it's in my Book Acct - no fees, no hassle no photo copy this and fax that bull-hockey.

When I want to get paid he makes a bank deposit at the bank whic has a million branches all over the US. No fees, no hassle, no waiting, no having to argue about bonuses you didn't take or don't want. I get every penny I ask for.

Working with the Greek and other offshores 10 15 years ago was simpler than today.

For me Bonuses complicate things, not worth it and I refuse them ever time.

Lastly I signred up for a Bookmaker acct a few months ago, never funded it and after about two weeks I started to get a million sales and robo calls - no one has that number except for them as it is/was a throw away number.
