Heard minstars are so fed up with the phone betting system that they clamor for the online system . Worse, their wives check their phone bill.
Phone betting has many limitations.
Every $ transfer from bank to account charges $1
Min bet per call $25
If less than $100 in account after the bets, pool disallow withdrawal ,unless close account. Resulted in the last $99 is as good as donations.
Withdrawal process is tedious - need to login and make request, then proceed to outlet to queue, fill in withdrawal slip, produce ic, auntie black face having to dismount from their chair, go in office process and print out a4 forms and let punter sign. The long queues behind will tiu them
Worst among all is the calling process is so draggy that is not practical for live bets.
