BetOnline is trying to steal $745 from me

**mtneer1212** · 07-10-18, 08:05 AM

So, what is your relationship to Valdecantos? If you paid $150 in rake, you must have played thousands of hands. How many of those hands did you sit with Valdecantos? Also, it becomes real obvious at 6 max NL Holdem when two guys are colluding, or they are talking on the cell phone about what cards they hold. Betonline monitors this pretty closely.

Obviously, without seeing a hand history, it is really hard to judge. But I doubt they just decided to take your money without a valid reason.

Good luck if you are indeed innocent.

Have they taken $745 from you?

Or just asked if you know this other player?

This bit, ”Please note that your account may be permanently disabled and your balance confiscated, should you be found to be in violation of the rules in future", sounds like it's just a warning.

Thanks for the reply.i don't have tools which track playing stats like Poker Tracker, Poker Office and Hold ‘Em Manager. It is difficult, to ascertain the exact number of hands.I wasn't accused of collusion. Chip dumping only. And it makes absolutely no sense.

i don't know. I can't login to account.

stop trying to scam books son

**SBR Drew** · 07-10-18, 10:53 AM

Have you filed a complaint form yet?

What's your relationship to that other player? How does anybody know you aren't on private messenger telling each other your cards? That happens ALL the time. Can you prove you weren't doing that? Did you collect the refer a friend bonus and were trying to complete the rollover? How many hours did you play together? I remember I dumped several thousand dollars in chips to a friend in Canada on Black Friday when I used to play on UltimateBet. I was one of the lucky ones to get my money back..

^^^ If you have done this, trying to send some money to a friend, you'll probably be treated the same as TourLooper the first time if you just tell them. Judging by the wording of that message you posted.

Thanks for the reply. I did it few hours ago. I hope it's just a warning.

If you look at any player who has played hundred of thousands of hands, you are bound to find hands that are "irrational" in someones mind. I can't tell you how many times an opponent does something unbelievably awful (calling an all in with 9 high) and I get scared I'll get accused of chip dumping. It's completely out of hand and sites should not justifiably be able to just take your money because they feel like it (steal your money). it was just a matter of time before sites started using this "chip dumping" bull**** to their advantage.
Sites should not be able to take your money unless there is OVERWHELMING evidence of malicious chip dumping. And even then I'm not so sure. What has poker come to if you can't take money from bad players. It seems today the worse the player is the more risk you take that you'll be accused of dumping. This game requires you to take the weak players money and the onus should not be on the player to avoid winning money from a bad player that makes play between the 2 players suspicious. It's just too easy of an excuse for sites to tag to players so they don't have to pay them out.

You are so smart. This was a perfect crime, but...I played thousands of hands, risked my 790 bucks... to lose 50 bucks to player Valdecantos? How will I benefit?

**milwaukee mike** · 07-10-18, 03:23 PM

what is the relationship with valdecantos? i have yet to hear a statement that you don't know who that is

**fried cheese** · 07-10-18, 04:07 PM

it seems unlikely he was chip dumping if he only dumped 1/15 of his money. no real reason to chip dump on a $100 deposit if you ran it up to $745 because you dont need to **********. were there any restrictions on you cashing out before this happened, op?

**michael777** · 07-10-18, 04:53 PM

Harms,just another scammer

**littlekona** · 07-10-18, 06:26 PM

Poker scammers at least most are idiots...BOL and there poker software ha been around a while and is solid... Glad to see that BOL is taking action and confiscating funds and most likely giving back to legit players at the tables you attempted your fraud at....GOOD JOB BOL and Thank you!! Scammers be ware!

OMFG! I earn my money honestly (MLB bets). There is no victim to refund the $745.

They're unlikely to be looking at hundreds of thousands of hands. They would have been alerted to this hand/session for some reason, and as they explained can see evidence of a possible link between you two.

They very probably just think you sent your friend 50 bucks and mostly want to make sure you know not to do that again, at a guess.

BTW, trying not be overly suspicious, but how do you recall how much you lost to that one particular player?

The most I ever lost in one session\ one person was around $50 or 2 buy-ins (NL25). I am setting stop-loss at 2 buy-ins

Okay, even if that was true, which it definitely is not, Is it okay to confiscate all funds?

I have no idea whether you scammed the book, chip dumped or colluded. I know little about poker. However, its amazing how many people, without facts, jump to conclusions and immediately accuse the player of cheating the book. One dude on here says over and over in different threads " stop scamming books son" He is either everyone's Daddy or has a Dad like complex. I guess some people are just miserable. Ignore them.

Reason why posters jump to say someone cheated or chip dumped etc... because out of the countless number of threads.... I don't recall any bitch post rant... that ended up in the players favor. Meaning.... they cheated.
