I Wish More ADW's Would Play Santa Like This
I just got the following email from the ADW named LINK2BET, and in my opinion I'd be a fool not to make a deposit there in the time frame allowed:
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Valued Customer of Link2bet As a high value customer of www.link2bet.com, I would like to make the following offer to you to use our services this Christmas and New Year.
If you deposit funds with us, through any of the deposit mechanisms on the site at www.link2bet.com/pages/deposit/deposit.aspx , we will match the value of your first deposit upto a maximum of $500.
Yes - that means we will match what you put in, upto $500. So if you put in $100, you will get $100, $200 gets $200 and so on upto $500. There's no limit on what you can deposit, but the maximum we will match is $500.
Our new look website allows fast and efficient credit card deposits. In addition for larger sums you can send a Bank Wire. Please let me know if you would prefer to send a Wire, and we will provide details. Deposits can also be made via our Call Centre, details of which are on our website, www.link2bet.com.
Once you have made your first deposit just email myself or info@link2bet.com to have your free money credited to your account.
The offer is valid upto and including Monday 4th January, and is valid for your first deposit only and for one account only per deposit. The free money must be wagered in full before being withdrawn. Otherwise there are no hidden catches.
Good luck and we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all at link2bet.
Regards

I"m assuming that this generous matching offer made to me by LINK2BET, is for the customers who already had an account with them before this offer came out. They didn't specify in the email if the offer was made to only customers who bet a certain minimum amount during the current year, or any amount. I don't know if this offer would be extended to new customers though. You'd have to send them an email to find out.
It helps to negotiate the amount of rebate you get with LINK2BET.COM, otherwise potential new customers might just get lumped in with the lowest rate they generally pay out. If you're not happy with the rebate they offer, ask to speak to the CEO of the company to see what he says.

Seems like a good deal. I was checking out the web site. They do give a rather odd overview of thoroughbred racing:
"Thoroughbred horse racing is run on oval shaped tracks that are either grass or dirt based. The horses run over a range of distances from 1 mile to 1.75 miles. There are 3 main thoroughbred horse race types, with horses of all ages and genders participating. In Thoroughbred horse racing each horse (jockey) wears a distinctive coloured racing jacket so it can be easily identified."

Their CEO is a really good guy, easy to talk to and has a great deal of experience in the gambling business.

If you are betting off shore, you are likely a contributor to the decline of racing. Ask the company how much of their take is going to the tracks. ADWs are parasites which are able to exist only because how screwed up the laws and regs on takeout are, but at least the onshore legal ones are paying a little bit to the tracks.

Ian:
I agree with your comments here about the CEO of LINK2BET. Plus, the CEO has gone the extra mile to do me some favors.. In other words, this CEO has a lot of the same attributes that you have.

As far as I know, Link2Bet sends their wagers into the host track's pools, or at least that was what I was told.
There are pari-mutuel off-shore operations, and Link2Bet is one of them...if anyone has a different take on this, I'd be happy to hear it...

Don't let your ignorance get in the way of finding the facts now that you've found the location.

i called them, they told me they in fact do go back to the track. i asked them about this promotion of put up $500 and get $500 added, they told me there was no such promotion though. i would have gone for that deal. maybe there is one, butthe guy on the phone didn't know of it.

That is better at least. To paraphrase Bogart in Casablanca, they are still a parasite like almost all ADWs, but at least they are a cut rate one....

Wagering offshore is not illegal.
There are definitely some negatives to playing offshore. However, since tracks like to try to pretend there is no offshore betting, they make no effort to compete and lose the business. The tracks obviously can compete if they want to do so. They offer rebates to big bettors. But it seems you think smaller type bettors shouldn't be entitled to the same type of reduction.
Blaming the customer as part of the decline of racing is comical. Why should bettors care about a sport that shows nothing but disdain for its customers?

They are 100% legal, 100% pari-mutuel. All of their wagers are co-mingled through Amtote.
