    PointsBet

    Has anyone had issues with limits? I haven't even won that much and only sparingly used it in the past. My max bet is currently less than $4.

    They have awful lines that provide sometimes as high as a 30% edge. I want to just post them here when I see them in hopes other people hammer these cowards.

    I have cashed out only about +$2,500. I don't understand how that is worthy of a limit.

    I hate when books make silly low limits.

    If they don't want our business, man up and boot us and take the heat for that if deserved.

    They're trash. Along with BetMGM, Rivers and Barstool. Dressmakers at best.

    At present because of all the BS at Caesars and Betmgms casino taking so much in the BS casino i banned myself i believe for a year in all NJ casinos because i just do not trust any of them. The bonuses were garbage anyways . Only real advantage was they would pay pretty fast.

    Yea i think true both ways . If they were not so rigged and i won as much as i lost at times or went on the runs dealer has all the time then that would be different. Just better to play at Offshore with way better bonuses and work it up there with a small sports run. The only thing that i miss really is the Live streams at Bet365 .

    Yes, I have had problems with PointsBet. Several times when I try to log in it tells me my password is incorrect and sends a link to change it. After changing the link it congratulates me on success and tells me I can start betting. As soon as I put in the password it says "Incorrect" again. About half the time it lets me right in.

    Bet MGM, Caesars, FanDuel, DraftKings have all given me smaller problems as well with Caesars sending me the wrong 6 digit code several times in a text. Hardrock is the worst. I still can't figure out what is going on with that site.

    Offshore is still, by far, the best. No problems for 25 years.

    I've been limited for doing certain markets on certain books. All things considered, with Pointsbet and we were comparing apples to apples, they would be the quickest to limit you. I've had that experience myself and if you took a poll on the Sportsbook reddit I'm sure you would find that PB overwhelmingly would be the worst book by far when it comes to how soon and how often they limit people.

    BetMGM is the one that irks me. You are MGM. You say you are the king of sportsbooks. You have decades of booking history. This is the best you can do? Embarrassing. Draftkings and Fanduel are easily more legit operations.

    $300 would be a huge increase on what lots of people have. I'm like $11.51 on a lot of stuff.

    I am limited to pennies and promo banned on Barstool, BetRivers, and MGM. Limited on Fanduel.

    Somehow I've avoided it on pointsbet and they've even given me VIP status there.
