    They are likely done and not coming back. They've cut all communication. It's likely a Quadeiga situation - they are running away with the cash. Say goodbye to any money you had there.

      Unlike other businesses, sportsbooks aren't regulated at all in Central America. They could take all your money at anytime and there isn't a damn thing you could do about it.

            Why would they want to run away from an endless supply of consistent money? Did they just get "tired" of making money or do you think somehow they got beat bad even though they can lower limits or set limits so that doesn't happen?

              Sorry, meant Quadriga. Look it up and see what happened.

                Almost like this jerkoff is rooting for us to all lose our accounts there. Very strange. If it did happen, I'd rather come looking for you then them at this point.

                  I will give them the benefit of the doubt, at least until tomorrow. I suspect the are rebuilding something not negotiating.

                    Plenty of reasons. Owner could be in serious trouble and needs money to run with, aka what happened with Quadriga. They could have run afoul of laws/jurisdictions, talented hackers might have taken them for all their worth.

                    They could do anything they want to and none of us could do a damn thing about it.

                      I could care less to be honest but I recognize it's a shit book that shouldn't exist with its constant IT and security failures. Either fix your goddamn shit or get out of the game. There's a reason why this shit always only happens at BOL and never any of the other reputable books.

                        If they come back, it won't be for weeks at a minimum. Bet Online has proven this is their MO in the past.

                            So they've been around for 20 years what makes you think they are pulling a fast one on us (if they come back?)? And also why shut down for weeks and then come back and then repeat it again a year later or whenever it was? I was there the last time it was down for the 2 weeks.

                                This is the unfortunate truth.

                                  Relax Robby, let this play out a bit.

                                  BOL has a lot of incentive to stay open, but I do wonder if we will see a wave of moves, 5Dimes style.

                                  Some of that went down poorly it seems.

                                  But there's no reason to believe that is what's happening here, or that something even worse is going on.

                                  I do wish they'd open.

                                    They might, if someone in asia wants to bet on NFL games, the games for us occur at 12am monday morning, not 1pm sunday, and the second set of games is at 3am.

                                        I had a couple future bets with 5Dimes that were killed out.

                                        But I have a balance with BOL that is more than those 5Dimes futures would have paid out.

                                        So hoping this will get worked out.

                                        I'm funded at BM, BP and BOL.

                                        I love betting UFC. 5Dimes was best for UFC. BOL 2nd best (usually, oddswise) so hoping not to see this book close.

                                        As KVB said, lets let this play out a bit.

                                        But only a LITTLE bit... We've got UFC tomorrow night.

                                              Again this is not what I am referring too... people have been saying they are worried the hack will lead to their money being stolen which is false. Now if BOL just robs you THATS another issue

                                                Calling their VIP phone number returns "This call can't be completed as dialed." That isn't exactly a good sign from my point of view.

                                                  Here's a summary of the available evidence:

                                                  1. Betonline made multiple payouts yesterday (see twitter and this thread)

                                                  2. Betonline has a message up on their website

                                                  3. Betonline has made multiple twitter statements about the outage

                                                  4. Betonline has a history of short/medium/long outages in the past due to DDOS/Hacking and/or IT department error

                                                  NONE of these things can possibly indicate that Betonline will not honour account balances. In fact, 1 to 3 above are simply NOT the actions a company would take if they had this intention. And we have the prior evidence in 4 above that this is not the first time this unavailability has happened.

                                                  In summary there is no evidence whatsoever that funds in Betonline are not safe AND there is evidence that the company is working to resolve all issues.

                                                  Speculation to the contrary is unhelpful and not based on ANY evidence. I do not understand what motivates posters here to SPECULATE negatively in the absence of ANY evidence whatsoever. People here reading these kinds of posts would be advised to assess the evidence and ignore unwarranted negative posts.

                                                    Its pretty clear why people are speculating... 5Dimes... though it should be said they did "pay" people

                                                        It might be the work of a rival bookmaker or just a random twitter troll. I guess we will never know. But what we do know is that the evidence suggests this is just another BOL outage - annoying but no evidence funds are not safe.

In fact I would say that BOL could have handled this incident in a much better way and also that their IT clearly has issues - including the absence of a backup site. It is disappointing and I hope BOL learns from this.

                                                                    What I am saying - in regard to the reckless statements made in this thread and by a troll on twitter - indicating that existing funds are not safe - I am saying that there is ZERO evidence to support this assertion.
