I opened an account with them Monday or Tuesday and attempted to fund my account with a credit card that was rejected.

They have been non-stop calling me from a 305 number since then, about three times a day.

Anybody else have that happen?

Yes. They must load their new customers that have a zero balance into an automated dialer. Pretty sad but it's almost like they are taking a collections mentality toward customers that haven't or weren't able to deposit.

That's a big red flag if you ask me. Kind of seems like they're hard up for reserves. I would stay away.

I have not used Bookmaker for at least 7 years... but I suppose my account is still "active"

I get calls from some wiseguy type from bookmaker about once a week. So annoying.

I just checked and sportsbookreview still has them rated as A+

Bookmaker used to be considered the biggest and most reputable offshore book. I don't know if that has changed, but I don't like their tactics and I have no plans to use them at all in the future.
