    BETONLINE is an A+ Book?
    I see what they offer and I wasn't impressed at all. Basketball-Football are at 10 cents, right?
    They charge for several dep methods.
    So, this A+ rating is because they; payoff like a champ? Hmm, just curious but I see much better Books so why would a gambler want to go to BOL?

    Usually the first to have football lines up for the week. Also live betting better than most books.

      Expect to deal with one of the worst customer service groups in the offshore world when dealing with BetOnline. They do offer value with their solid live in play for US sports. However there are many reasons NOT to play at this shop. As mentioned a 6.5% deposit fee for bitcoin.... case closed... find another shop.

                      tell me about it...I was all set to make a deposit there and went on live chat to have a few questions answered first. It took about 10-15 minutes to answer each question and after about half hour on live chat, I couldn't take it anymore. Their ineptness made me reconsider depositing there and I loaded different books for the coming football season.

                        They open baseball lines at 1 pm the day before, sometimes with ridiculous lines.

                                Hey Abe... notice how many of these comments say "I was going to deposit but did not because..."

                                You almost never see anything but happy reports from bettors who use them and have opened their eyes wide enough to see what they offer.

                                It's almost exclusively people who don't play there who complain about it. Seriously, even read back up the comments above. Always the same.


                                Thy charge a deposit fee and some drama queens like carrying on like that is somehow unacceptable that they dare to choose their own business model. They offer a perpetual reload bonus which more than covers any fee but locks profits from being withdrawn for 30 days. They don't want players who want to deposit and withdraw every day or two... but if those players insist on wanting their early lines and pretty much the best live betting offering there is... then it will cost them 6.5% for the privilage of playing there.

                                One of the smartest ways to cull pain in the ass customers, protect your payment processing solution and still give everyone else one of the best US facing offerings there is.

                                  I have played with them before and had no issues but taking over a half hour to answer a few simple questions is not a good look. I like the live chat at books that I use to at least be semi-competent.

                                    CS complaints valid of course.

                                    But it's not something I've seen mentioned too often really.

                                          Well, I was about to sink them to the bottom of the sea but your reply gives me some hope. I also respect experienced opinions more.

                                              You can buy points usually.

                                              Think it's just that all the NFL lines are currently circled.


                                              If you check out CFL you can see the drop down box to buy/sell points.

                                                3. Maybe you could put BetOnline here or a 5 way tie for 3rd.

                                                Try Heritage. Real nice book.

                                                  Books that offer to sell points should be A for that...buying points is the books best friend...if you are a good capper and have an option to sell points you will kill the book until they cut you off...

                                                    You almost never see anything but happy reports from bettors who use them and have opened their eyes wide enough to see what they offer.

                                                    It's almost exclusively people who don't play there who complain about it. Seriously, even read back up the comments above. Always the same.


                                                    Thy charge a deposit fee and some drama queens like carrying on like that is somehow unacceptable that they dare to choose their own business model. They offer a perpetual reload bonus which more than covers any fee but locks profits from being withdrawn for 30 days. They don't want players who want to deposit and withdraw every day or two... but if those players insist on wanting their early lines and pretty much the best live betting offering there is... then it will cost them 6.5% for the privilage of playing there.

                                                    One of the smartest ways to cull pain in the ass customers, protect your payment processing solution and still give everyone else one of the best US facing offerings there is.

                                                    Shocking post...

                                                    BetOnline is at best a C in my opinion...

                                                    Too many issues with this shop outweigh what they bring to the table.

                                                    Sure they have decent inplay and bonuses... but they sure as hell have alot of shortcomings that other books don't have. Their cs alone is enough for me to stay away. Then you add the 6.5% deposit fee to boot. To suggest that the deposit fee is a privilege of earning reload bonuses and betting into their live lines is very irresponsible for you to state. Several books offer bonuses and live lines without the cs hiccups they have. Also, I do play at BO, so I'm speaking from my personal experience when giving my opinion on them. I've also seen several post by others mentioning the horror of playing at this book. Staying away from BO would be my best suggestion for OP.

                                                      Yawn.

                                                      You say too many issues then proceed to complain about the deposit fee.

                                                      I wasn't aware of a lot of CS issues and havent had any problem myself. From reading every post in the S&I forum it sounds like they are about the same as any other shop with a CR based service center.

                                                      As I said before, you only see these sort of drama queen posts from players pissed that the business model doesn't suit them. Not from actual users of the book.

                                                        Yea,selling points is where one can make some good money! In the NFL where the point spread only comes into play about 18% of the time,​ is a great spot to do it.!!

                                                          I understand they have the deposit fees and customer service issues but how are they at paying out when you request one? Any issues or slow paying that anyone's experienced?
