I've Decided to Limit My Balance at Bookmaker

[Ace7550]

I've never had much of a problem getting paid by Bookmaker/Justbet. I've often kept balances in excess of $100,000 there and felt relatively comfortable. But in light of the numerous complaints in the last few weeks about KYC nightmares and non-payment, I've decided to cap my balance there to $10,000. I would suggest many of you out there do the same.
The BMR community needs some clarity on all the outstanding cases. It may just be a syndicate, and other innocent players have been swept up in it. It's very tough to tell what the truth is.
Until BMR makes an official statement or Bookmaker explains why they are doing what they are doing, I am going to limit my liability there.
It's really a shame. Bookmaker is my go to book. They get about 50% of my action. But it'll be more like 20% moving forward, or until some light is shed on the various allegations.

As always, Good luck fellas.

Not what I wanted to hear, Ace.

Are you still having issues?

I thought these problems were resolved and haven't heard anything on my end in a while.

Shit.

 

[jjgold]

I haven’t heard much

The problem is, you never know the real story on some of these

Hey, I guess it’s good to be careful

I'm not having an issue at all. I withdrew 10k just a week ago.
But there are so many horror stories going around right now. I'd really like to hear some commentary from BMR or Bookmaker. The fact that both have stayed completely quiet is disconcerting.

I respect your position/stance on this. I believe at the very least the old school accounts will never have any problems as these newer accounts have endured.

Rumor has it he’s the one causing all the delays.

Whoa.....
Not good. Hopefully, we hear more on this and its positive news.

He needs to assess the risk management, so possibly, not sure. But he is the one that would know. It would hard to get a straight answer from him with him being in the position he is in.

Reality is a lot of complaints brought by new posters/limited track record and suspicious sounding stories. When established posters start sharing complaints - then worry.

At the same time, it's clear the Bookmaker family of operations isn't going to skip town over a few hundred thousand - not with millions to be made by remaining open. It's not like some tiny book that can be taken down overnight - it's a long established group.

I'd still be wary of keeping large sums at any book - especially given the relative ease of funding today. It's not like it was immediately before BTC deposits hit the scene where getting 5k-10k to a book was a hassle. It's instant right now and no need to trust any single book with majority of your play. Spread it amongst the 3 biggest names in business if you're in the US (Bookmaker/Heritage/BetOnline) and mix in a local as needed. For 90% of us rec level players - these 3 and an access to an app are all we need - tossing in a bonus book if desired.

100% agree.

 

[Ace7550]

I'm not saying I'm gonna stop playing there. I'm just going to limit my liability.
And I also agree, they probably wont mess with long standing accounts.
But it's not ok to stiff a bunch of people just because they're accounts are less than a year old.

 

[djefferis]

Agree - solid shop overall and likely nothing - at the same time there are ALWAYS warning signs.

Never ok to justify theft of player funds - even when the player is a thief themselves. Blaming the player is exactly how it starts often - rarely do the big boys just outright shaft everyone. They know to keep money coming in - you got to keep the bigger players happy and how better to do that than saying the problems are all with “new and inexperienced” bettors to justify their actions.
