    Strange Intertops situation; SBR Complaint filed
    i have a strange situation with intertops sportsbook. i deposited there and took a bonus. i made some bets over a couple days, then suddenly i could only bet like $500. i made a few more bets. then i could bet even less. now my limits for major sports are like $100 or less.


    i still have part of my rollover to clear. obviously now that my limits are much lower, it's taking longer to clear that rollover. they have made my bet limits lower two or three times, i mean it's obvious they don't want to take my bets. so i asked them to waive the rollover, and they said no.


    i thought this was one of the older sportsbooks, but they are acting like kind of a shady outfit. i asked them twice and they keep repeating "once you have built a relationship with us we will explore raising your limits"

    what the hell? how can you enforce a $16,000 rollover with limits under $100? that just doesn't make sense. either raise the limits, or waive the rollover and take away that portion of my bonus that i didn't clear. anything else is just not right.

    If the remaining rollover is impossible to complete at the lowered limit the book should pro rate the balance and pay you out.

    How much of the 16k is left to complete and what is your balance up to?

      my balance is around $4k. in total i am down upwards of $5k on the account so i don't know why they are giving me such a hassle on this. the rollover is about another $1k or so, which is just a lot at such small limits. they can't have it both ways.

        You are complaining about a 1k rollover with a 100$ limit? Seriously? How is making 10 bets a huge hassle?

              Take it as a badge of honor that they think you are too good for them and move on Marty.

              And $100 limit isn't considered unreasonable really.

              I'd just do the bets then cash out and find a new book.

              Arguing the point wont help really as the only other option is to pay you 15/16ths of your winnings anyway, and from previous experience I cant even seeing them doing that with only the $1000 left to roll.

                typical player just betting other side at a lower juice book

                It is not being sharp at all, it requires 8th grade math skills and a line service

                Books just do not want to be bothered with it where a guy bets a slow moving line off market

                It has nothing to do with winning

                  typical shady offshore sportsbook trying to avoid paying out

                  It is not being sharp at all, it requires some decency and honesty

                  Players just do not want to be bothered with it where a book limits after a few bets and then won't send the payout

                    I ended up placing several bets just to clear the bonus rollover on my account, and I requested my withdrawal. But wait! It doesn't end there. Now they want me to rollover my last deposit. Well, that last deposit was made with the idea in mind that I would be able to make bets at my original limits.


                    Now they are telling me I need to wager the full amount of the deposit.


                    Just absolutely dishonest and shady tactics from what is supposed to be one of the bigger books.

                      It's standard practise for any book to have to roll over a deposit at least once before withdrawing. I really fail to see what your problem is.

                        It is standard practice for any book to waive rollover requirements once they limit you.

                        It's this simple: they either want you to bet with them, or they don't. Intertops are just trying to play games.

                        Is it that hard for you to understand that I have better shit to do than make micro bets at a sportsbook that is afraid of my action?

                          $100 isn't really micro bets. But that does kind of suck Marty.


                          I don't really know if SBR can do anything for you here but if you want to submit a sportsbook complaint form we may be able to reach out and try suggesting waving the deposit rollover in the situation.

                            Considering you are depositing at Intertops (not exactly known for taking sharp players and having huge limits) and have taken a bonus there as well, I have very serious doubts a 100$ bet can be considered "micro" for you...how much was your deposit?

                              Thanks Optional. I already filled out a complaint 10 days ago, but nobody from SBR has been in touch. Is there a way to forward you the email?

                                $100 or less with $16k is rather steep. We've asked Intertops for comment and will let you know.

                                  He only had 1k left of that rollover when he was limited.

                                    Different issue Alfa.

                                    OP completed that rollover but had already deposited again before being limited. He's hoping to not have to roll that second deposit.

                                      Yes, but OP has not stated the amount of that deposit...with the amounts mentioned above (4k balance, 5k lost) and it being a new deposit, the amount cannot be very high so with 100$ limits it should not pose too big of a problem.
