    Sports Interaction Limited Me After 2 Months
    I deposited a dime in august. i have been arbing between sia and Matchbook, betting a dime on each side. now I heard from the sbr forums that SIA will limit you once you beat them for 20K. so when i i had beaten them for 7K, I did not think they cared. unfortunately, they limited me to 10% of their normal limits. now their standard limit on totals are $440. so get this, i can only bet $44 on a total

    I am not trying to brag here, i just think they only welcome square action and it sucks. I disagree with their business model.

      I'd withdraw my money ASAP if they pulled that crap on me......I quit playing at SIA a few years back after hearing simular bullshit.

          u have the same limits as me. 10% of the standard limit.

          normally u can bet 1100 on a -110 side. but we can only bet 110, or 10% of their standard limit.

          i called them up begging to raise my limits to $300 and they would not even let me speak to a supervisor to discuss my account.

          the worst part is they never gave me a warning when they limited me. i could have at least reduced my unit size.

            The vast majority of sportsbooks will limit you if you beat them for any significant amount.

            Instead of listing all the sportsbooks that impose limit collars on customers they view to be "non-recreational", its easier to list the sportsbooks that do NOT:

            Pinnacle, Bookmaker, Greek and the exchanges.

              You don't have to be sharp to be cut by SIA. If you bet more than $100 and two of your first 3 bets are underdogs you're probably gonna get cut there.

                Greek will limit you if you really take it too them. This asshole names Wally will call and yell at you.

                    Surprised it took that long to limit you..........many cases have them limiting wagers after just a few days.




                    Hope you start losing there soon..........you still have ways to go to get to the 20,000 threashhold.




                    Start playing a little bit in the casino, this may help you in a few ways.

                        if they limit your action and you don't have a rollover to meet, it's a bit painful but what can you do? you were making money off of them for a little while and now you have to move on.

                        some places limit your action to $100/bet when you still have to rollover $5-10k what a joke!

                        their "business model" is kind of silly but they're kind of stuck with it at this point because bigger/better players stay away from that place. if they got 100 of us all betting $1000 on the same side every day (whatever was their best line vs matchbook) then their action would be totally lopsided all the time.

                            you need to throw in a couple BIG losing bets a week to throw them off..

                              ZETA is new to the business, it's a shame he entered SIA with little experience.

                                Zeta needs to play at Pinnacle/Bookmaker on the credit side but those big time outfits are not going going to give some 17 year old nit wit $40,000 credit at each book.

                                Fishhead I know for a fact has big credit packages

                                    I don't have a problem with them limiting players per se, it is their business model and they can make those decisions as a wish. However...what i have a HUGE problem with is them limiting players BEFORE they hit the required rollover.

                                          heres my question, ok you beat them and they limited you. did they limit you after your requested a payout? or were you letting it ride? i ask because as long as you left it in there, maybe the book thought you would lose it? so did u req payout before being limited?
