Made deposit via bitcoin.
They charged a $26 transaction fee for the bitcoin (which we all know costs them nothing).
They also didn't give me my bonus.
After using live chat, I find out that the small amount of money I already had in my account was too much to qualify for a bonus.
I try to get all of my money out, and of course they are going another 2% fee and they say I need to place at least the amount of my deposit in bets with them to make a withdrawal.
The days when you could expect BetOnline to give a shit about its customers are long gone. I prefer Bookmaker anyway, but they tempted me with the 75% bonus and now they are holding my money hostage.
Beware of BetOnline!
