I normally don’t like to discuss things like this until the company chooses to make an announcement, but since information is already out there I figured I would address it before rumors start.

Sometime in the near future BetCris will be launching a new <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">US</st1lace></st1:country-region> facing brand. They are NOT leaving the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">US</st1lace></st1:country-region> market in anyway - this is something that they have been working on for a couple of months. I would compare the move to the same thing that <st1lace w:st="on">RIO</st1lace> did with Skybook or Firs Fidelity did with You Wager.

Thanks
Rick

Gotta love a site that showcases the flag and says "WELCOME U.S Customers"

I wonder if US customers can use BetCris still.

IS

AdamSelene · Feb 26, 2007

I'd assume BetCRIS may move all U.S. customers to Bookmaker eventually as part of a strategy to limit their exposure. Any negative actions (legal) or limitations ($ processing) effecting the U.S. brand would not effect the non-US flagship operation (CRIS). Bookmaker was also probably also formed with clear foreign ownership by principals that don't plan to visit the States.

Pure speculation, I've no inside information on the subject.

On the otherhand it could be purely a marketing effort with no deaper meaning nor significance.

It's all good. Still gonna be where the line originates...

Hopefully it means they'll have proper credit/debit card processing like the UK bookies, so I can just make bets on and off the card on the CRIS brand.

Last I checked you could deposit from, but not withdraw to a debit card. At the UK books, you can just do transactions both ways, ~48hrs to send funds back.

CRIS IS moving all it's US customers to bookmaker.com. That I know for a fact.

Wil do you know if this will affect DSI players too or just CRIS. I play at Diamond now, just wondering if their players will be switched too. Thanks

sean1 · Feb 26, 2007

Cris has owned:

Diamond 2betdsi.com
Betmaker
Bookmaker
Goldmedalsports
7palms

For some time... They also will let you play at all of them. I've found Cris to occasionally have different lines from the other 5. I've never seen the other 5 differ, but that does not mean they never do.

I believe it is just BetCRIS that is making the name change for it's US based players. Those BetCRIS players should look for an email and a statement on the webite tomorrow that outline all the details.
