    SportsInterAction SIA report (hard to believe)

    I wasn't sure if I was going to post this or not, but decided to since they are advertisers here and some might have the same strange experience I did. Let me say up front THEY PAID ME ALL THEY OWED ME.

    I signed up via SBR link and was not given a bonus due to my country of origin (panama) No matter, I signed up because I had noticed for the longest time very juicy dog numbers. Often better than Bodog's square lines.

    I deposited a small amt and wagered it on a +200 dog MLB and won. I received the next day an email from them congratulating me on my win (have never received that from any other book). A couple of days later I saw an opportunity and when I tried to wager the software said I had been locked out of future sportsbook betting, but I was free to wager in the casino or the poker room. WTF? I go into chat to inquire, thinking its some kind of mistake and chat tells me its a hidden note from them by the "security team". Now I am really worried thinking they are going to try and screw me over somehow.

    Later that day I receive a long email from the security team which said nothing except "for the profitability of the company" they have to take certain actions. They paid me in full 3 days later.

    What kind of sportsbook is this? Has this happened to anybody else at this book or anywhere? Wondering what SBR's take is on this.

    they can do whatever they want regarding this subject. if they suspect that you are a sharp player that can make profits in the long run, they can decide not to take your action any more because that wouldn't be profitable for them. they make profits from losing bettors.

    try pinnacle, matchbook, betfair, betdaq, sbobet. these guys are ok with winners.

    Wow! A few days ago I was one day away from filing a complaint with SBR abt them and then they paid me in full. They allowed me to play there for 2 weeks and when I asked for my first withdrawal they said my IP address didn't match my city. They wanted to know if I was in the military, etc etc. I told them I had no control over what province showed with my IP address. The country was correct. After a few days the security team told me I was not wanted and booted me out, but paid me off. I am glad to know it wasn't just me. This made me more than a little bit paranoid. If this is how they preserve profitability, they soon will have no business at all.

    they don't but they have a good reason to suspect that you are if your first pick is an off-market number and you bet your whole balance on it. you are either en arber or a guy that is clearly trying to pick up the best odds. they don't like these type of players. square book.

    Yeah SIA's system defaults to emailing you a bet confirmation and emailing you when your bet wins.
