Save by Withdrawing Funds at BetCRIS with Loyalty Points.

wilheim · Jan 26, 2007

BetCRIS informed me this morning that you can use some of your loyalty points to withdraw funds by check. In exchange for 2500 loyalty points you can get a free check withdrawal up to their $4900 limit on paper checks sent to you via Fed.Ex..

I know you can get a $50 freeplay with 4000 loyalty points but if you do the math trading that freeplay for a free check withdrawal is a decent savings. Something to remember about check withdrawals is that right now you are looking at 7 to 10 business days to complete the transaction. This is due to the high demand for this method these days. Processors are flooded with requests from all directions.

For BetCRIS players making larger withdrawals ($10,000 minimum) I strongly recommend bank wires right now. They are quick, easy and considering other withdrawal methods, relatively quick. A $10K withdrawal will run you $105.

For the record all of the books I talk to are working hard to get players paid as quickly and economically as possible. None of The Rx. advertiser books are trying to stall or overcharge players looking for withdrawals. Everyone, books and players alike, need to do the best we can to make the withdrawl process work for both parties in this new reality that is now become part of Offshore wagering.

I made an edit to correct a couple of errors. Thanks Stump, wil..

Using loyalty pts is a good option to offset fees, however you need 4000 loyalty pts for a $50 Bonus Play.

Shows what I know, that makes it an even better deal..

wil..:ughhh:

my mistake... sorry, i guess i need to learn how to read better

not bad.

If you parlayed out 10k points you'd get about $112

or take 4 checks

about $28 a check, same as Matchbook fees.

acceptable solution, IMO !

Now we need free transfers !

Yeah, just wish I hadn't used all mine up last week

Dante · Jan 26, 2007

I think I have about 1500 points if anyone wants them...not sure how/If I can transfer them but im not going to be using them...they will just go to waste

I wasted my Bonus Play on the Saints. Damn! Good gesture by CRIS though. they needed to do one.

nimue77 · Jan 26, 2007

Neato....2500 loyalty is around $30 worth and if a check costs $60 then that's
a better use of them 2 fold.

I don't understand why these books don't offer paper checks by regular mail. Why do we have to pay for Federal Express?

You are wrong in assuming all countries have a non-corrupt and working postal system.

Well this is great! I have over 13000 loyalty points, but only $200 in my account! Now that I DONT NEED a payout, this deal comes up! I havent wagered at betcris in quite some time, might be time for a reload

BAGIANT · Jan 26, 2007

I just hit 4 8's playing Aces and Eights, and I didnt know I was playing for $1. Got $400 in credits. What a country!

AlwaysKeen · Jan 27, 2007

they still need to lower their payout fees!...

terps1313 · Jan 27, 2007

Wow, that is great to know. Just started on the site and had no clue about this loyalty promotion. I have 2200 in less then a week of play, playing between 100-500 a game. Solid promotion.

I talked to support via live chat and the phone... both claimed to know nothing about this....

Actually I am to blame here, the Loyalty Points offer officially starts on Monday and I announced the offer here a little early before some of the CSD people at BetCRIS were informed. Any Rxer. who wants to take advantage of the offer and was told it did not exist please call back. BetCRIS CSD personnel have been informed of the new policy and any Rxer. wanting to use it can do so now.

Thanks, wil..

will CRIS also cover book to book transfers for a certain number of points?

As far as I know the answer at this time is no. Natraully it won't hurt to ask BetCRIS CSD themselves.

I wonder if they at still sending out some of the "prizes" from the loyalty points. I now have 14,200 points. I could get another pager at 15,000. I hope to actually receive this one
