If you know Betcris, you know Bookmaker as they are the sister book of C.R.I.S. and all of Cris's American players were transferred over to the Bookmaker brand in March of 2007. Their still the same great sports book though!
Bookmaker caters to all players both big and small, but this bookie is generally where the big boys play. Bookmaker is not scared off by whales, sharps, big bets etc. In fact they welcome sharp action and regardless of how good you are or how much you win you will never get kicked out. A world class offshore establishment to say the least!
We absolutely love their BETPOINTS customer loyalty program where you accrue points according to your action. (Not offered to professional bettors.) These points accrue fast and can be redeemed for free plays once you have enough. The offer bonuses as well, 20% free plays on deposits of $300 or more. (Sorry, no bonuses given on credit card deposits.)
