    Betonline - SCAM ALERT
    These guys sent me (via email) a huge and flashy picture of an available bonus if I made a deposit....

    I made the deposit

    Guess what, no bonus. I was told I needed to read the fine print. My fault for not doing so

    This message is to all that consider Betonline... be very careful and read the fine print, they are not what they say they are...scammers at best

    And Lester... same message as my email.. Go penetrate yourself

    One of the shittiest books out there. Never EVER get suckered into signing up for shit books for simply a fukkin bonus.

      Agree with all you said...

      Altho I wasn't "signing up", I made that mistake last year. This was a promo for current members.

        BetOnLine is a joke. It was the first book I used, and everything about it was poor. Payouts took forever. Do not use this book.

          Legit books don't need to dangle bonus offers in your face. Shit books do because it brings in their only source of income to speed up the 3 week payouts so people aren't "alarmed".

            Can you name 1 book for American players that doesn't offer bonuses?

                Can't you file a complaint with SBR? I think BO is a sponsor here so they may have some clout.

                  ALWAYS read the fine print and re-confirm with customer service before depositing. heritage did the exact same thing to me last year, luckily i had already confirmed with customer service multiple times that i was indeed eligible for the bonus. it was a pain in the ass getting them to pay up, but at least they finally coughed up the bonus money in the end.

                  this is not an issue with betonline, this is an issue with every offshore out there is. remember, you are always dealing with scum, and plan accordingly.

                    Betonline is a shit book IMO, I experience plenty of problems with them. They cancelled one of my ML live bet in baseball citing line error, but they waited until the game was over to graded it. I also had a lot of troubles using my CC. Customer service kept saying the card was decline, but my bank said the transaction was charged to my card. My BOL account was credited a few days later.

                      "Scam alert" because you didn't bother reading the small print is a bit harsh, don't you think?

                            No I don't.... had a similar offer last year which I took them up on, feel like I got sucked in.

                            I did mention, it's my own fault, just warning others.

                            You on the staff of BetonLine?
