    Has anyone been limited/backed off on betting at the Greek?

    Has anyone had any experiences at The Greek of having: bet limits reduced; no internet betting, phone bets only; internet bets needing approval/not going thru instantly - or any other limitations?

    I've heard of prop bettors being reduced there.
    Anyone experienced this or anything else of this nature?

    not account specific but just disappointing limits on most non US sports, e.g. $300 for most tennis matches

    Yes.

    Post -UIGEA, limits for anything other than the major US sports have been cut by as much as 90% - or they've done away with the betting option altogether in some cases.

    They may not need to cut the limits of specific accounts, since they've made their limits so low in general.


    But was wondering if anyone has experienced a backoff of any sort.

    Not to me personally but I do know of a couple of people who had their account locked and warned that their internet betting privileges would be revoked if they continued to chase steam.

    I had parlay and teaser limits cut to $50. When I was betting steam, they did something also. I can't remember if it was closed, or limited to $500. I called and agreed not to bet steam, and they restored the account to its earlier status (but still with $50 parlays/teasers).

    Similar experiences as lumpy and Justin for me. Props and teaser limits were cut, was warned about betting steam online or else I would lose that privilege (agreed and haven't had any issues since), etc.
