No it won't.


13. Heritage Sports reserves the right to adjust the limits and/or suspend wagering privileges on any individual account without prior written or verbal notice.

Going to transfer most of my funds to BookMaker and use Heritage for small wagers since its obvious they can't handle someone winning a few grand without panicking.
That rule 13 applies to all sportsbook, written or not.

Right, they dont want BetJam guys to come over and then get a new fee they didnt have before. I dont know if they will have free payouts after you whoop up on em. That would be one to ask. My guess is they would pay for the first one and let you know about the subsequent one.

The word syndicate is subjective and makes a newbie feel like if he caps a game with a buddy he'll lose his whole bank roll.

But, we can say that in over 10 years Heritage has never confiscated someone's balance or taken money that might have been rightfully won. Even with players who are likely in the wrong, Heritage pays them. They probably don't like this said publicly because they feel it will put a target on them for shot takers but they side with the players.

A lot of books had old rules like this one to deter multiple accts and bonus syndicates but they don't actually apply them without evidence of cheating such as opening 3 accts and taking 3 bonuses and circumventing the limit for the first acct. I think Heritage will take the feedback and get rid of this old school verbage.
Heritage did say that they are going to get rid of that rule as well as revise some others. They said "of course there are no catch-alls that would lead to your balance getting zeroed out".

it is $300 right now

betjam players could deposit $50 or more and get bonuses if eligible

just a suggestion
I hear ya. But moving money was also the reason Jam got out. Bookmaker also added a high min this season. They dont want to tell the smaller player or the player who like to move in and out frequently, not to come in, but they can't give them bonuses on transactions that cost them money and resources before they give bonuses.

Heritage doesn't really limit players south of a nickel. They just don't want guys playing lines they are about to move which was the same to an extent at Greek. I can't guess how they will do their risk mgt but I do know they said hey plan to be more aggressive and not be rec-only. They didn't bring Greek players over so they could spray round up on em. They are set up to be more of bookmakers today. We'll have to see how they do.

So when you get close to winning a nickel it would be best to make $10 bets only to avoid being limited? I'm about about half way to that number now.

I noticed Heritage had Money lines on half time lines!!! Greek had this and now heritage does. They never did before. Heritage is becoming a big time book. I am enjoying the options that had never been there before!

Think he was saying they don't limit to lower than $500 a bet, not in total winnings for an account. So unless you bet more than a nickel a game you don't have to worry about being limited. I could be wrong but that's how I read it.
