    I filed a complaint with SBR when I was initially told I couldnt cashout. I never heard anything from them.

    I ended up finishing the full game rollover they said was required of me last week and requested and received a payout. I need to request another payout this week, hopefully that will go through smoothly as well. I still dont think this is a reasonable rule/restriction on their part but at least so far, in my case, it looks like they will ultimately payout the money.

      I completed the extra rollover and was paid in full just 2 days later.

      I think the current rating is appropriate.
      Are you allowed to actually win? And is this rule there for everyone or just bonus takers?

          This is why 90% of bonuses are awful deals. You often lose more than you got for "free" because you're forced to gamble for various reasons.

              I've only ever live bet on MyBookie. They told me I have to bet 78k in pregame bets to match my live betting. A week before they told me this, I received a payout. I guess ~60k in live betting action is ok but 78k is over the line, lol.

              I'm worried that if I bet the 78k and win that they will just steal my money and claim I'm a steam bettor or make up some other reason not to pay me.

                EXACTLY!!!
                If they are willing to be dishonest once, why wouldn't they do it again?
                Rule #26 and #27 on the site basically give all discretionary power to MyBookie, they are judge, jury, and executioner. You can't just write a rule that says you are allowed to rob people whenever you feel like it.
                Infact i tried to play by their rules and i lost money betting pregame trying to complete requirement for rule #28......logged on the next day and found i'd been limited to $1.

                I am sorry to hear you are caught up in all this, i wish you luck.

                  That's brutal, I feel for you. If they won't allow you to withdraw or bet, this is just plain theft. Everyone should stay far away from this book.

                    I had to bet around 90k. My second cashout came through yesterday so at this point I have cashed out all my mybookie money except ~$150.

                    Good luck with your situation. Fwiw, as someone with no real skill in betting full game stuff I ended up doing most of my betting on nhl money lines and ncaab points spreads. There were enough bets available that just by line shopping vs pinny/5d lines I was able to find things that im sure were still -EV but a decent amount less -EV than just the basic -110 that they are offering.

                      Doesn't seem like your able to win at MyBookie. The rule is for everyone, it has nothing to do with bonuses.
