    BM revoked my ability to get bonuses due to "non recreational" betting
    So after years of using Bookmaker for high value and high volume bets, Bookmaker revoked my ability to get bonuses or use betpoints. They are processing my payouts and even let me collect the betpoints I had raked up when I called customer service. All in all, I wish it hadn't happened but have no complaints. It's clearly within their rules that they reserve the right to do this and they have been extremely professional throughout the process. The conversation went something like this:

    "When I tried to collect my betpoints, I was told to call customer service. Also, when I go to the cashier for deposit, I don't see any bonus options, including Diamon Level bonuses I usually qualify for when depositing."

    "Sir, a review of your betting activity has classified you as a non recreational bettor, so you are not eligible for our bonus or betpoints program. We are happy to let you collect the bet points you've accumulated."

    "Can you tell me what I did that was not recreational? And if so, can I continue with bonuses and betpoints if I change my behavior to stay within your recreational guidelines?"

    "No sir. Once you are deemed non recreational, that decision is final."

      Well, they are one of the few books who don't have the rule that they are ONLY for recreational bettors Meaning they can turn you away if they want claiming you aren't recreational(just means you lose) Anyone know someone who has ever been denied bets/limited/kicked out of BM?Don't think I have heard of it. I have heard of taking betpoints or no bonuses

        The same thing happened to me a while back. Everything stays the same except I can't earn new BetPoints. I was able to cash out my old BetPoints.

          same happened to me. Nothing to get upset about. Any bonus like that is solely for rec players. Those betpoints add about 0.5% to your equivalent winning percentage, so they are nice! but you can't expect to get them if you're way up on them overall.

              Bookmaker making cuts everywhere. They won't be around once more states start legalizing sports out of desperation for money.

                They take huge bets without blinking and by everything I understand it's tough to get limited there. Not sure they're going anywhere.
