    Bodog $30 MLB ML limits?

    Are these really the limits? I signed up at Bodog yesterday, made my first deposit and placed one wager. I go to place a wager right now and see that the limits for ML and totals is $30. It may still be overnight limits, but is this the same for everyone? Or have I been limited because of one wager I placed?

    Okay, on chat with them. I was told that everyone has a limit of $30 because they are a recreational site. This is after I was able to place a wager for $250 yesterday.

    This is the most ridiculous site I've ever dealt with. I know I am being lied to when they say limits are $30 for everyone. And I got limited after just one wager. It was on a Nascar matchup by the way.

    $30 after one bet? That is absurd.

    I'm certain their limits are higher than this for most people. I'd chalk it up to mediocre CS.

    If your limits make it unreasonable to meet rollover, they should pro-rate it. Ask them to pro-rate it based on your met rollover if you are leaving.

    I just find it absurd to limit me to such an extent after just ONE wager. As there rollover requirements are just 1x of deposit + bonus, it would have been relatively easy to meet the requirement with even a $200 limit. But $30 is too little.

    I've never heard of this. My limits are much higher there, not that I bet close to the limits.

    PLEASE NOTE:
    Minimum risk per bet is US$ 1.00
    Maximum risk per bet is US$ 1030.00

    That's on a -103, so they let me bet up to $1000 (to win).

    Hmmm this is strange. Someone turn on the Bodog Becky signal so we can get this figured out. (I'm a Bodog supporter since they've always been fair with me)

    Wow. $30??????

    How much was your first wager?

    Are you trying to unlock a bonus?

    I think my limit is like $500.

    Almost everytime I place a bet, the line changes and I have to bet the new line.

    I found it odd that the sucky As kept getting more juice when I was trying to take them against the world champion Giants.

    I have been with them for a while and my limits are much higher than that so seems they are not handling new customers the best. Hope you get then raised or move books!

    If you venture into their non-dual lines section (soccer) and start betting obscure events where only a sharp would bet they will limit you to $500, then $100-200, then $30.

    At least that's what happened to me. They don't like it when you win at soccer.

    the CS person is lying to you. I get 1k max and have gotten 5k over phone. Somehow you got limited as to why I can't help you there. It happens to all of us who play at idiot books.

    They are notorious for shady things like dual or more lines, and like poster said earlier they will bump the juice just before bet confirmation.

    With some books if you place the bet early, using overnight lines, and you tried to, right before midnight and the game wasn't scheduled until the following afternoon or evening, they will limit you. But $30 seems suspiciously too low. And claiming they are a recreational site is a joke because if they were a recreational site they would accept wagers only in play money ( $30 wouldn't even be allowed ).

    Got this message from a manager today:

    Dear Mr XXXXXX
    Account: XXXXXXX

    My name is Gil and I am one of the Customer Service Managers here at Bodog. While reviewing the quality provided in our chats, a recent interaction you had with one of our representatives was brought up to my attention: session ID222583, regarding betting limits on MLB. I'd like to personally apologize for the service you received, as the responses and clarification you got from our support team was poor. You were given wrong information and when asked for more details, the same incorrect responses were written again and again. Here at Bodog we strive to provide the best service and product out in the industry, therefore this is by far unacceptable by our standards.
    Let me clarify first by mentioning that we are indeed a recreational site, but our limits are nowhere as low. Our regular and overnight limits on MLB are officially the following:

    Moneylines/Sides: $2000
    Totals: $1000
    Run Lines: $500
    5-Innings: $500
    Circled Games: $500
    OVERNIGHT LIMITS:
    Moneylines/Sides: $500
    Totals: $500
    Run Lines: $250

    At this time we’re unsure of what could’ve happened with you not being able to bet higher than $30, unfortunately a screen shot for us to look at it would’ve been ideal. I want to thank you for taking the time to ask us about our limits, and for also trusting your business to us by recently signing up.
    Due to the misunderstanding this caused and the far from ideal experience with us, I’ve issued you a Sports Risk Free Bet matching the amount of your first wager with us, risk amount completely on us. Simply check ‘Sportsbook Free Bet’ when placing your wager, and the risk amount will automatically adjust.

    Thank you for playing with us and good luck with your future wagers. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best Regards, Customer Service Bodog. Be A Player. service@bodog.eu 1-888-263-0000 ext. 2


    My limits have now been increased and got a free bet of close to $300. Thanks SBR.
