Betonline is no A- book, not even close

[Peep]

I can't rationalize how these books feel it's OK to lower one's wager limits to 5% of what they were over night.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

It is a hell of a lot better than making offerings that they don't intend to or can't pay.

I like the one casino who is still rated a "C" here (Heros) who says they will take 50K on the roll of electronic dice. Meanwhile, they won't or can't pay a guy 30K.....

I think "take" is the operative word. They never said they would "pay" 50k on the dice.

BetOnline on the other hand will pay you, IF you can clear your WR at$100 a pop. That's like offering you a chinese buffet one grain of rice at a time. "Don't complain sir, it's still all you can eat"

Saw a complaint yesterday from another BOL account holder. Same thing happened to them. This is now standard operating procedure with this book. It is certainly not happening to a few isolated "sharp" players (as SBR and BOl would have you believe).

As for their all you can eat rice buffet, good analogy--and you will starve to death before you finish the meal.

Folks who can withdraw fromthis place need to do it.Then let them know why, AFTER you get your money out. Only way they will change this practice is loss of customers. As long as SBR aids this scam by giving them an A rating, unsuspecting players will keep signing up.

But hey, as I noted in another thread, they gave me a Christmas Bonus promotion.....A free recipe regarding how to make Egg Nog!.....

[katstale]

No need for this thread to slip off the front page.

Any new victims?

Anybody at SBR listening to Justin?

Lets start the new year off right and give these guys the B- (feeling charitable today) rating they deserve.

[eyeball]

I checked the Betonline Review here at SBR and there is no mention of this incident. But I did notice that all the other books that had a complaint had the incident listed in the review. It's kind of like SBR hasn;t gotten around to it or are they ignoring it?

betonline (SBR rating A-) also battling website attack. Management tells SBR they are working diligently to resolve the matter and expect to have a solution in place shortly. Players may call 1-800-841-9751 for customer service, or 1-888-238-5808 for wagering or use the betonline LiveChat.


Player will likely find other sportsbooks are fighting attacks from extortionists this weekend. The Denial of Service attacks are caused by excessive requests to a website's server which in turn leaves little or no resources for legitimate user traffic. The sportsbook's information and databases are not "hacked" or compromised. Bettors can find a list of all LiveChat links here as well as all sportsbook phone numbers here. SBR readers can report website downtime here.

Damn he won 24k off a freeplay , holy fuk he grabbed BetO by the haunches and fuked em into submission

Ill try to stop laughin for a minute to contribute some sort of opinion on this, alright here goes, BetO you suck, thats it, that my opinion, if you are such a "recreational book" why have 5k limits, whats the point, I mean I understand if u got a major league sucker that wants to toss 5k on some terrible lines you raise his limits when he calls in and wants to get some more down but 5k to every new signup shit thats big time guys and likely to only attract sharps, no dumb clueless fuk is going to deposit 20k and start whackin horrible lines at 5k a pop and say thanks for the high limits I just blew my retirement on the Clips ML

If I were a sportsbook, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT BILLS ITSELF AS A RECREATIONAL BOOK, I would put max limits on fp payouts to keep from getting raped but since they didnt they should pay off that amount, though I feel that the 8x fp winnings is fair it is only fair at the original betting limits, knock his limits down 80% should correspond to a rollover reduction of 80%. Personally Im a fan of the way 5Dimes does freeplays, when you make a deposit they make you meet your WR BEFORE giving you the fp, at that point whatever you win is yours and there are no bonus rollover rules to debate.

I like the 5dimes setup too, generally it'll result in less problems.

However, that assumes the book is honest - you can just see scumbag books like betonline abusing it. Win and you'll get limited and never see the bonus, due to being "non-recreational" (even if you can have a high 6 figure income and sportsbetting sums are peanuts, *SLAP WAGERWEB*).

My conversation with BOL..

Me: Hi. Can you tell me what my screen turns white for 90 seconds when i place a wager?
BOL: We have been expierncing a high volume of wagers and this has caused your problem.
Me: I may have been born at night but it wasn't last night. You guys are timing me.
BOL: Sir. I dont know what you mean.
Me: Yes you do.
BOL: You are placing the wager too close to game time which is why it takes awhile to go through.
Me: The event starts in 8 hours.
Me: Go pound sand.

This is a garbage/low life book.
