    Seems like it's a YMMV situation because I have not yet experienced that (IL). Then again, I lost there initially and deposited frequently before turning a winner, so maybe they're hoping I'll lose it back.

    It's believed that your first 20 odd bets are the most important in establishing your risk rating. So that could be why for you.

    Lots of hearsay about being "limited". Lots of "I've heard", "seems", and "sharp action". No actual details. I bet pretty big, like to think I'm pretty sharp, bet prop markets often... and the only book thats 'limited' me so far is BetMGM. I can understand why, too. It's not just like they limited me for being sharp, or that they limited quickly either... the type of action I was throwing at them was the kind they would never ever want to take or be able to handle without booking a loss... yet they are still letting me get down decent action. FanDuel is still taking all of it. I expect to be limited everywhere eventually, like I was on BOL after a few months. I got limited at the books in Vegas (all of them) for betting Summer League one year before they eventually just stopped offering lines all together for the final 2nd half of the schedule. Some of these offerings simply are not getting enough action, including the Summer League back then. Otherwise if you're betting and winning, paying insane juice on markets that have decent action on them you aren't getting limited.

    I still haven't heard a single person with an actual scenario for how they were limited and how its remotely a concern for anyone who is simply 'winning'. Yet every post says 'if you win you will be limited'. Every, single, one.

    If true, good to know. I will take that into account in the future.

    Are you saying MGM isn't limiting winners and sharps? I've heard otherwise, but have no personal experience yet.

    It also depends on how you define "limited". I've definitely been limited at every book I've used, in the sense that my limit is lower than it was originally. But even though it's some % below their regular max limit, it's still not that bad and there are ways around it. Further, at one book (Pointsbet) I was delayed to death. And Fanduel has me on an 18-second live bet countdown delay. Damn, but somehow I can get some good stuff there.

    In my experience at the 5 IL books, Pointsbet is the worst.

    How do you define "decent action" at mgm?

    I just started playing there online but limits are big especially for futures, MGM books live in Vegas definitely take surprisingly big bets. Bet fred was a joke how fast I got limited barely bet anything

    I don't think limits on MGM books live in Vegas bear much relation to online limits in various states. I'm more interested just in limits for regular straight wagers on basketball and football and whether and to what extent those might get limited down the road.

    MGM should be going live in Illinois hopefully soon. Looking forward to it because MGM is also y go-to property in Vegas and I see that rewards can be tied together for the MLife program.

    Also take a look at GMBL. Good stock with plenty of upside. Got in at 15.30; had I waited same day couldve had at 13.50-ish. Was trading over 20s last week, and has buyout potential. Im long on this, unless hits 20 again then im out and looking to come back in around 15 again, if available.

First 12
