Anyone play "Sport Bet", "Island" or "Bet Jamaica" casinos?

Looking at these to play in. Was wondering if anyone's had any problems with any of these. They're all in the DGS software group. Thanks for any help.

tread lightly. do some homework. they have had issues. i don't know to what extent or if i'd trust them, but there are juicier bonuses out there if that's what you're after, and safer places to gamble in general. if they have sketchy practices with players using bonus, it's not a far stretch to pull something even with no bonuses involved. again, i'm not familiar with what these guys are all about, but the names all ring of complaints and i was given some options for affiliate rebates when i sign up at jamaica or island, but even with the kickbacks (and implicit endorsement of the affiliate) i wasn't going to take the chance of getting the bonus reneged and my money tied up in that scene or anything. so definitely research a bit and weigh out your decision. why have you got them in mind as potential places to play, i'd like to know?

the only dgs i know of ever having played was nine casino. software was okay if i remember, but one thing that smacks in my memory is after completing wagering and the bonus being added (post-wagering, and i sat at 1.50 at the time) and the customer service guy said "you deposited 300, and now you get the bonus added and want to cash out for a total of 301.50, seems a little pointless don't you think" and i was both enraged (it's my money my business) and frightened (will i be an abuser if i accept breaking even and cash out without playing any) and proceeded to lose the whole lot back; one of my first times not cashing from a signup bonus. ah the days of min-bet WR grinding. even a year later the bonuses are way less profitable and it takes a little gamb00l to get a payday, look at inter, went from 15 to 50xB in the last six months. and i know jamaica's signup is only like 20-25% so again i wonder why someone would want to go play there?

Well there's a few reasons I was looking into playing there:

1.Bonuses all looked EV
2.Cashable
3.Fairly large
4.Accepts U.S.
5.I've dried up many of the good cashables already

In the past I've checked casinobonuspages.com (if it's not kosher to post this site I apologize) and then did a search here to see if I could find anything. Since it's a hassle anymore for a U.S. citizen to move money around I don't want to mess with the little bonuses much and I don't have the guts to start the stickies.

all fair reasons, but iirc the bonus amounts are like 25% of the deposit. i should think you must have somewhere else to go than here. i'm not certain just how much the us players are limited, but depositing 800 for 200 bonus is not my idea of a good deal for me. especially when you need to rollover however many times d+b, i feel ripped off that my deposit is so much greater than the bonus. if they worded the same amount of wr as only a multiple of the bonus, it would seem nicer to me, but that's purely aesthetic.

imo, though, i'd sooner put that 800 into like 8 different 100% to $100 or similar stickies trying to make at least one four figure win than grinding out 200 of cashable bonus at the one place. and i do follow cbp, and some of his sites are not reputable, and i was offered a kickback for signing up and playing there, but the kickback was only for like 25 bucks, and the bonus is only 25%, and i recall hearing bad things about jamaica, so i decided against it. but i'm not sure if they're good or not, just not quite my flavour of bonus. i like to get the same or more in bonus than what i deposit. good luck if you choose to try it.

Unless I'm missing something, the bonuses are 20% with 90xB or 120xB wagering (= 15 or 20x(B+D)). There are hundreds of much better bonuses out there.

If you want to use DGS software, I recommend Instant Action Sports. It has the best of the DGS bonuses -- 300% up to $300 with 40xB blackjack wagering. Note that 30 days of active play is required. In my limited experience, I have found this software to be fair.

Hey thanks guys for your input. I'll probably stay away from those casinos then. I've only done about 4 stickies and I guess I don't have the guts to keep doing them even though I know they're very profitable. Thanks again.

BetJamaica is a great sportsbook but stay FAR FAR away from their casino. Just take a look at the odds on some of the games. I use them frequently for sports and they pay out fast. I recommend 5Dimes as they have some of the bet odds in the business. As for the software legitamacy, I dont know.
