How Not to Get Screwed by Your Pay Per Head Service

For those bookies and agents looking to avoid being screwed by their Pay Per Head service, there are a number of steps that should be followed prior to the selection process.

Longevity – Fly-by-nights crop up around this time each year.  Most are insolvent and incapable of handling any decent size bookmaking business as they tend to lack the necessary infrastructure.  A site like HostPPH.com has been around for many years now.  The proof is in the pudding.  They have been ranked in Google search for several years now. 

Recommendation by a Reputable Website – Gambling911.com features a list of Recommended Pay Per Heads.  Sure they pay to be featured but each of these companies is required to pay a lump sum outright.  Gambling911.com will never receive a cut or percentage of player losses.  Stay clear of any PPH ranked number one on other so-called “unbiased” Pay Per Head review sites as these tend to be owned by the Pay Per Head ranked number one (hint, hint).  Yep, nobody told these guys about “full disclosure”.

You Get What You Pay For – This time of year, sites like PayPerHead.com and AcePerHead.com can afford their services for free over extended periods of time.  They are the exception though.  Research sites that claim to be offering under $10 Pay Per Head for an unlimited time.  Often, these are “bait and switch” tactics utilized by underfunded shops looking to undercut the big boys like the aforementioned. 

We Can Hook You Up With Larry – This isn’t a Pay Per Head, this is a subagent looking to steal your customers and rip you off.  Stay away!!!!!  A true PPH does not “hook you up” with someone else.  They provide you with one or more qualified reps. 

Below are some other warning signs to look for.

Limited Operating Hours and Difficult to Access Website, Phone Service

Rude or Unknowledgeable Customer Service

Person on Other End of Phone Can’t Speak English

Poor Phone Reception May Mean Ill-Equipped to Handle Your Business

Limited Betting Options

Not Recommended by Others

Lack of Online Chat Feature is Sometimes a Warning Sign
