There is a difference between an offshore sportbook choosing to exit the USA market for their own personal reasons, compared to some books and/or poker sites who have been busted for illegal activity such as dealing with money transactions on U.S. Soil and were forced out.

Let's not confuse the 2 and panic because the owner of a book such as The Greek decides to do away with it's smaller sister book BetJamaica and send it's U.S. players to Heritage, and concentrate again solely on The Greek itself.

There are things many don't know that lead to this decision.

Let me just say this and take it for what it's worth....

BetJam had many more deposit & withdrawal methods than any other book.
Several that only longtime, loyal customers knew about.

The moral of the story is this........

1. Don't panic due to one decision that probably HAD to be done
2. From now on instead of complaining that your book only has 3-4 deposit & withdrawal methods, understand there's a reason for it until things change in the future and get easier, and that in reality, it's a good thing.

No

Bejamacia-The Greek = The same outfit and same owner

Any issues that have led up to becoming a problem at Betjam for merely trying to make things easier and a better overall experience for their customer's, would have become a problem for The Greek as well.
