BestLinesSports disagrees player was
handled unfairly

Sportsbook Review
 
 
We think the situation was handled professionally. Before the guy signed up he had a lengthy conversation with Magnum he was told that we would allow him to play but if we see that he is following steam we would pay him his balance and whatever he won with his own money except the bonus money or whatever he won with the bonus money and he agreed. This guys was paid everything except the bonus money and yes he had to pay the fees on the way out because he was not a member for 21 days. I will be here for the next two hours.

Opened a new acct.on friday 10-10,and was offered less than the advertised bonus. When i requested deposit via neteller, I was then subjected to a 20 min phone interview by magnum,the gm. Was then told they would accept my business at the 30% free play offer. I placed a bet for the entire deposited amount plus the free play on oklahoma-5.5,this was about 1600 friday, no steam was involved with this line. The wager wonand on sunday i phoned in and while on tape specifically enquired under the terms and conditions of bonus if i could withdrawl some of my winnings only,and only if there would be no bonus penalty. I was told i could withdrawl 2996 and if original 2500 was left no penalty would be assessed and the neteller withdrawl would be free,remember this was recorded with derrick,customer service,payouts mgr. On monday logged into acct and only.82 cents left in acct.i called and only derrick would talk to me,he basically said bestlinesports didn,t want to do business with sharp players or players who may win so my acct was closed,bonus and associated winnings removed,and neteller fees assessed,totalling 727 theft of legitimate winnings.this unethical book is advertised under osga endorsed list which earned my misguided trust
