Edit by SBR Lou: We have confirmed that Zach attempted to deposit to a total of two BetOnline accounts using the same CC. Both accounts were linked by IP. We have also confirmed that Zach has scammed a total of seven gaming sites. Each one had a poker room. The notes for each entry contained either CC or checking acct fraud.
The card Zach used at BOL will be refunded. The two CC's of his accomplices in the chip-dump will also have their cards refunded.

Hey guys, just thought I would throw this out there...as I don't want anyone to go through any unneccesary bullshit from yet another sportsbook. I have had BetOnline account for a while (over year at least id say) and had a few small cashouts (less than 5k) a few times without any problem. I took a break until last week sometime when I got email from them saying to give them a try (they have poker now) so I figured what the hell and deposited 1k which was very painless to deposit (always is, its the payouts that are always a hassle as you guys are prolly familiar with)....anyway, long story short I played all poker (didnt wager on any sports) and ran the account up to $7k...2 days later I decided I'd like to book a win so I requested a 5k cashout....That same day I am sent this email
"Hello Zachery
While reviewing your payment, we noticed an unusual play pattern related to username Ready?.
This pattern involves the funds transferring from his account to your account through the hands played.
May you please explain this situation?
We will also need a copy of your picture ID and utility bill in order to verify your identity.
Please be aware that we keep records for all the hands involved.
Best regards,
Daniel M.
Payments Team"
I replied that I had already attached a previous email with all identification documents (which they didnt need anyone since i had been a member there for a year and had sent these in many times before already)....
They are accusing me of some sort of chip dumping to a player that ive literally never seen in my life, and whom I lost money to at the beginning until i eventually got my losses back plus a few hundred. The majority (prolly 5k of the winnings were not even from this so called "Ready?" player name....sounds a bit shady to me and I am supposed to hear back from "management" tomorrow. Just goes to show u how careful u have to be before trusting even a "recommended book" with your funds. I will keep you posted as I am 100% positive I have done no wrongdoing, will be interesting to see if I somehow get screwed over in this deal.
Anyway just thought I would let my fellow sportsbettors and poker players know the scoop. thanks
