    Betonline phone spam
    I know they're a decent book, but I have to call them out.

    I played there. They called me on my cell to offer me a reload. I said no, don't call me on my cell. Last week, they call me again. I said don't call me.

    This morning. They call me on my cell.

    They need an "unsubscribe" for phone spam that works.

    Bookmaker and YouWager are also extremely bad with their cold calling.

          I´m so glad this scammers can´t reach me in germany

          It´s too much for them to find out the international code.

            Isn't Betonline run by an Italian crime family?

            I'll see if I can dig up the article I read on it a few months back.

              I honestly don't know what to make of Betonline.....They seem well regarded and have a good rating and all, probably well deserved.....

              But this was a joint that in the past suspended my account with a notice requesting I call them. Upon doing so, I was informed that my account would continue to remain locked and my funds inaccessible until I agreed to stop betting halftime lines on the NBA, and bet other wagering options as well. I don't know if i was more angered, shocked or amused, but until I agreed they informed me that my funds would remain "In limbo", as it was put to me. Whole thing was strange considering I also had a negative profit margin with them.

              Anyway, needless to say I felt compelled to agree, then shortly thereafter got the hell out. That alone has been reason enough for me to never darken their door again, but like I stated earlier, they seem to be a valuable wagering option for a number of posters here.....

                  Well Compaq, I did recieve all my funds eventually, so no problem there...I just decided I'd never redeposit to their site, as I couldn't help but wonder what other unique rules or stipulations might suddenly appear out of the "Betonline Wagering Playbook".....

                    That´s an interesting story.

                    I have a lot of bad experiences with most of this SBR A- books.

                    Before betonline isn´t able to pay me, Betonline is just an "deposit only" book for me.

                    But even if they are able to pay me somedays, I will never use them again

                      Interesting marketing technique with these folks. Run off all your customers--then pay people to call them up and ask for them to come back.

                                That's cold. Don't you realize that a senior citizen or a single mother may be getting these calls now? Bad, bad thing to do.

                                        if they keep on calling you again tell them you're broke. and ask them for free bonuses and free bet. maybe they will stop calling you.
