how solid is wagerweb???

rogerdoger · Jun 26, 2005

i like them but need to know how safe they are>>> thanks

Never heard of ANY payment issues, They've been around a long time formerly Casablanca (CBS). No free withdrawals drops them from being a former favorite out for me. Safe book.

I thought they were advertising here...........?
I may be mistaken..........

These at Wagerweb are pretty fun to play around with at times during football season.........

17 point teasers:

8 teams - lay 110 to get 100
8 teams - lay 100 to get 110
10 teams - lay 100 to get 130

21 point teasers:
10 team - lay 170 to get 100

ALL TIES PUSH

Compare to 5dimes

17 point teasers:
8 teams lay - 200 to get 100
9 teams lay - 175 to get 100
10 teams lay - 150 to get 100

20 point teasers: (NOT EVEN 21 Like Wagerweb!)
10 teams - lay 250 to get 100

ALL TIES LOSE

Wagerweb also has 3 point football teasers......

since they changed their Withdrawal fees for Neteller, I won't play there.

too many better options.

spidermonkey · Jun 26, 2005

the new neteller rules are dumb, but they are about as safe as you can get.

Stickie · Jun 26, 2005

they only allow $1000 neteller withdraw each day. they charge you all fees on every withdraw after your first. Not a high class operation, but good lines and many different pinny type wagers available.

The Neteller fees are about to be a way of life at most shops.

I agree...I don't think it will be as drastic as WagerWeb, but books are starting to feel the fees hitting pretty hard. I won't blame them either.

I don't think it is unfair to charge the player either coming or going...but not both.

If they cover your fees on the deposit, it is not out of line for you to cover the fees when you withdraw.

Not if the current market is any indication - most books offer at least 1 free payout a month at minimum. $20 from $1000 is ridiculous - pinnacle charges $15 for $25,000 (and 1 per month free), olympic 1 free per 2 weeks up to 8k and only $15 for 8k beyond that. All netellers free at mansion. Wsex is pretty cheap, etc... In addition, wagerweb wont do sportsbook transfers...wagerwebs current policy is crappy, but at least they give 1/2% back on volume.

I would have few reservations with playing there at this time.

As always, never risk more than you can afford to lose..........anywhere.

aceduecetrey · Jun 26, 2005

I will not be back there after the way they changed the Neteller rules over night without even giving a heads up.

I agree...that's just not right. Especially not notifying all of their customers.

nimue77 · Jun 26, 2005

That annoyed me too, especially since it happened within like 3 days of when I joined them.

I've never heard of a payout problem with them-EVER, but this new Neteller policy may be one of the most hated policy changes in quite a while.

randyrohm · Jun 26, 2005

I posted this across the street, but a few days ago I wanted to deposit a dime at Catalina and they said I would be charged $39 to do so, I declined. Later I learned 3.9% is the fee Neteller is charging them and they are just passing it on to the -108 players. I agree they have a right to do this. It just takes some getting use to pay for the privalidge of making a deposit.

Do they still advertise here?

What puzzles me about policies like that is they will let you deposit 5k at one time but only pay you 1k a day?

Gutter Roaches,

Considering your heartfelt posts of doing your bollocks a few months back, does it matter how solid they are, seeing as it will be all one way traffic.
