Issue 1: late August, sportsbetting/BOL put a $50 freeplay in everyone's account. September 4 they send an e-mail out to players offering a 50% or 100% bonus with the following terms:
*Terms and conditions: 1. A minimum deposit of $50.00 is required to qualify for this bonus. 2. The maximum bonus is $900.00. 3. There is a 10x (ten time) rollover requirement associated with this bonus. 4. In order to receive this bonus you must use the promocode”50BACK” in the cashier while making your deposit. 5. This promotion expires on September 8th, 2012 at 11:59pm (ET). 6. This promotion is by invitation only and non-transferrable. 7. BetOnline reserves the right to modify or discontinue this promotion at their discretion. 8. Standard terms and conditions apply to all bonuses, please see website Rules for details. 9. This offer is valid only once per account. 10. This promotion cannot be combined with any other offer. 11. No withdrawal can be made for 30 days after the bonus has been credited to your account. 11. This offer is not valid if you’ve taken advantage of another 50% free play offer within the last 30 days.
These terms conveniently omit the two most important terms that would apply to probably 95% of accounts:- not eligible if balance in account
- not eligible if freeplay or pending freeplay in account
So basically you're only eligible if you bet and lost your freeplay in a matter of 7 days. They duped a number of posters (let alone how many countless others) into depositing for no bonus, and would not refund the deposit. Here is just one thread about it: http://forum.sbrforum.com/sportsbook...y-deposit.html
Issue 2: they continue to put freeplays into players' accounts. I had $100 added to mine on Friday. It took me two days of hounding them to get them to remove it. Why remove it? Because if you have a freeplay or pending freeplay wager, you cannot request a withdrawal:
After finally getting the freeplay removed from my account last night, I log in this morning and there is a new $50 freeplay in there. Here we go again -- it will probably be days before I get this one removed.
Issue 3: No b2b's until you have used 2 alternative payout methods first. What BS is this, especially at sportsbetting where players who were not interested in being part of BOL were forced into it and their ridiculous terms.
Issue 4: Debate all you want about Lowvig's affiliation with BOL, but Lowvig has still not paid out the full balance they owed me dating back to April (http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...t-deleted.html). They owed 16k and did process an 8k B2B to CRIS after SBR John intervened. Now they refuse to B2B the remaining 8K and will not provide a reason why. Here we go again.
SBR can rate BOL however they want, but I would advise posters to start trying to get their money out sooner rather than later as the process can take a lot longer than you expect.

• Existing freeplay balance o(r) freeplay pending wager.
Imagine if someone Aug27 had bet their freeplay on an NFL Futures bet. They would not be able to withdraw until 2013. • Existing freeplay balance o(r) freeplay pending wager.

They could have saved that mass mailing money for some real payout. It is a disarray over there.
