Betonline now has poker

[borednaz]

Ok after 48 hours on the software I finally did get a bad beat when my PP lost to a guy who called my shove with 83s. The 8 hit on the river. But oh well that's online poker. I can't get past the low the traffic & the lack of decent stakes. I think betonline has what they want, a simple place for their sports bettors to play during down time for "Fun" Aka Micros.

I see it as a winner for them once they update the graphics, give a few more options etc.

[mtneer1212]

Good luck with your poker venture. Betonline is solid guys, even if you just play sports.

[LegitBet]

Think I'll check it out

[gamemastere]

I have only been playing the freerolls and its full of horrific suk outs and amazing miracles. All being fueled by the over whelming number of donks willing to roll the dice with any two cards. Knowing once they get a stack goin they can win pot after pot with the software bailing them out when they need it.

I have a few dollars from freerolls so soon I will check out the micros but I honestly dont think it will be much different.

This is the first site I have ever played at that did not show your opponents mucked cards used at showdown in the hand history file. Very disgruntled about this and still catch myself looking but everytime it not there

There are also POP and PromoUS$ that can be used to buyin to tourneys but I have not been able to find any info on wat they are or how they are earned/awarded.

[Kindred]

sounds like betonline is trying to keep this a fish tank for sportsbook players and chase away the sharks. I'll be sure to check it out before football season

[jay777]

Bet on line is solid. Like the sight a lot. But I get jittery now that they have a pokerroom. DOJ has a hard-on for those. Don't want BoL to appear on the radar.

[daneblazer]

We have a few multi-thousand cash tourneys already.... nice thing is you can actually WIN these on our site.

As opposed to most tournaments which nobody wins because they stop play once there are only 20 players left

I know exactly what you mean. I've seen so many absolutely sick suck outs in such a short time of playing there it's unreal. I swear, there's been a few times it seems like the donks knew what cards were coming. Anybody ever want to complain about the bad beats on SBR poker needs to try a freeroll over there, might change their view on SBR. Good thing is there's another freeroll every hour.


I was having the same issue about the tourney lobby freezing and having to close the window and re-open. I also had the program crash a couple times. I haven't had problems with any other poker clients, not even SBR's. But it did seem to run smoother for me last night, so maybe they are getting some of the glitches fixed.

Even with all that, I've still managed to cash a bit and it's nice to have another option to get my poker fix.

Alex, thanks for making the experience pleasant for the customers

Mac version is horendous if you multi-table

1) lack of warning sounds to alert you that it is your turn.
2) when playing multiple tables windows do not automatically pop up when it is your turn.
3) software is awful, after being forced to sit out you have to click on the "sit-in" box 5 times before it registers.
4) no option to manually enter your bet size and the slider (which rarely works) only allows you to raise 1x the BB or 4x. This is extremely annoying when playing multi tables as it really slows you down.

[gamemastere]

Roadtrip are you able to run other programs while playing or is this when it starts crashing? I have had several crashes myself and its really hard for me to have anything else running.

sharpcat all those things you listed are not better in the PC version. If the MAC version allows you to change the table skin I found that the retro skin ran better for me and the betting buttons were slightly better but the slide still suks nor can you type in your bet amounts.

This and the the hand history not showing opponents cards used at showdown are pretty significant things needed for players.

[LegitBet]

Beat out a field of 760 to take first in a freeroll earlier.
Alot of fun.

[Roadtrip635]

The only other program I usually have running is my browser, but I should have more than enough resources that it shouldn't be an issue. The crashes seem random, wasn't starting/running any other program other than my browser (FF), but it does get more sluggish if I try running other programs.

Sharpcat, I've had those exact same issues with the PC version as well, so it's not a MAC only problem.

[C.S.]

The software is still young. The older versions were rock solid. I am sure the bugs will be ironed out shortly.
Sharpcat, I'm forwarding your issues to one of the programmers of the software.

[sinmiedo]

Can we use a freplay for 50 or 100 dollars?
How many points do we have to earn before a withraw?
Bodog requires 3 points per dollar
DSI 450 points for a 250 freeplay.
I ll like to try, in fact i will try the frerolls.
Thanks Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Lint Pockets]

in case nobody knew this BetOnline has the same poker software as YouWager so maybe they bought it off them or have a deal going with them i don't know.

[pokernut9999]

Will try them out.

I'm with this guy. That was absolutely miserable experiance. I even played in a $10 freeroll with 600 people and it would auto check the skip the next round of cards button WHY!?!? Fine so it wants to be difficult to uncheck it would take 4-6 clicks. The software also took 100% of my cpu to run...

[grantingyou]

Hey Alex,

Why don't you work on paying out faster?

Your book takes 15 days to receive a check.

[horsiehung]

FIX THAT CRAP!!!!!!!

wow all these complaints

[Lint Pockets]

Hey Alex,

Why don't you work on paying out faster?

Your book takes 15 days to receive a check.

why don't you do some research before you make yourself look like the moron you are. ever since the black friday incident happened almost every book takes at least 15 days for check payouts.

[RudyRuetigger]

nice addition by betonline, hopefully it turns into a success

[Legions36]

Not to bad but still buggy some things need fixing.

[C.S.]

in case nobody knew this BetOnline has the same poker software as YouWager so maybe they bought it off them or have a deal going with them i don't know.

We use the same software provider. That is all.

[sharpcat]

Not true at all

[chase hardy]

betonline will update this in the future i hope!

[Lint Pockets]

Not true at all

oh sorry besides the sleazystreet book that you shill for it's 15 days for all others. gotta love it when it's EZ at slEaZystreet!

2 weeks ago you were moaning about not having $300 to deposit into BetHorizon and were stiffing posters for SBR points and now you are claiming that you have recently received checks from every book in the industry and they have all been 15 days.

still going on about the points huh? funny thing is you whine more about me stiffing points than the actual people who i stiffed do. i think it's time for you to move on and get a life already.

I just talked to someone on their live chat and was told they will be taking new accounts on June 1st. It was looking good until he told me all new accounts must make a $300 initial deposit What is even funnier is his reason for this was the current processing issues that are going on. I find this funny because i can go to bookmaker right now and the minimum deposit there is only $50 and they are going through the same things as other sportsbooks right now. Another example is i can go to sportsinteraction and deposit a minimum of $25 with no problems at all. I don't know where this clown gets off telling people they need to deposit $300 and even if heritage did just take over there i could care less. I guess i will stay at bookmaker but good luck BetHorizon expecting all new accounts to deposit $300 you jokes.

Oh sorry millionaire high roller not everyone has an extra $300 sitting around to dump on a sportsbook you f***ing dope. So maybe you're the one that should get a clue c*ck sucker.

[gamemastere]

Can't seem to get enough of these freerolls they run constantly, just something about donking the shit out of somebody that part of me enjoys. Its always occuring around us and to us costing us money and often times an early exit from an event we put much time and effort into.

With these I can do a little donking of my own and the best part is it don't cost me or my victims any money at all.

Not alot of money to be won in these freerolls but I did managed to win a couple of dollars so far and also won some of these Promo$ dollars that can be use for buyins into other tournies.

So I took my pocket change to the micro tables and let me share the hand that ended my 7 minute session.


*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to gamemastre [Ac As]

gamemastre: raises

donkman: reraises and is all in

gamemastre: calls

*** SHOW DOWN ***

donkman shows 2s Kh

gamemastre shows Ac As

*** SUMMARY ***

Board: 7d 6c 10h 2d Kd

Seat 9: donkman showed [2s Kh] and won

Seat 8: gamemastre showed [Ac As] but did not win....and infact got fcked on my first cash game session by getting rivered like this.

Dude just open shoves preflop with K2 I call his allin and then he gets bailed out by catching his 2 on the turn and then catching a K on the river to crush my aces.
Got to admit thats a pretty brutal beat only 7 minutes into my 1st cash game session at a new poker room.

when did i once say that i have received checks from every book in the industry you f*cking clown? you're not even worth me replying to anymore so just go back to sucking EZMARVIN's d*ck you worthless f*cking shill.

[9XL]

why don't you do some research before you make yourself look like the moron you are. ever since the black friday incident happened almost every book takes at least 15 days for check payouts.

The Greek sends a check in 2-3 days. The top book for US customers right now.

[RazzFan]

in case nobody knew this BetOnline has the same poker software as YouWager so maybe they bought it off them or have a deal going with them i don't know.

This is definitely not the case. YouWager uses the pre-UIGEA ActionPoker software. The BetOnline software looks familiar I just cannot think of the software provider's name.

[sq764]

wish they could get pokerstars software

[C.S.]

Same provider different version of the software. We will be updating before football season.

[cloudagh]

You have to appreciate alex and his crew taking suggestions and acting on them. You don't see that often.
