I got a call from them once when my depo did not go through. Maybe they just wanted to offer you a special promo. The last thing that it could be is they want to cut your limits. I would call them to make sure it was really them calling, then find out what they wanted.

i get sales calls from that number 5 times a day some weeks, then it stops for a while. Good book, but there are better out there for almost everything, unless your'e a super high roller(which I ain't). Customer service with Bookmaker is hit and miss, some call's I got someone really helpful and about half the time I got someone who was a total ass. The calls are very anoying,
I'm hoping if stay away long enough I'll get off the marketing list.

haha, yeah, some book that i dont name here, mailed me:

blah, bleh...

we offer you a reloadbonus 20% up to $1000 (10 x rollover)

blah, bleh...

my answer was just: GFY

the immediate reply was: GFY?

and i replied again: Go **** Yourself

i didnt hear anything from them for like 3 days and then they offered me 25% uup to $1000 (8 x rollover)



dunno wich part of 'Go **** Yourself' they didnt understand, maybe some poor dude in the pakistani call center

Unreal. Been getting calls on my cell from this # for a over 2 f***ing weeks now.

I filled out some stupid ass vacation entry BS at a Bulls game in December and since then have been getting stalked about my "free" 3 day 2 night vacation to Orlando/Vegas.

I thought this entire time it was still that company calling me about my vacation. WTF does Bookmaker want? I've never even deposited with them, why are they calling me?

They called me when I placed a bet on figure skating to see if it was really me. Geez, Can't a heterosexual male make an occasional bet on figure skating?

Never been called by them myself and I use them quite often
