Is this normal?

Did you guys file complaints with SBR?

Are books actually able to get away with this?

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.

For what it's worth, I ran into this annoying rule recently. A supervisor politely explained it to me on the phone. It's certainly atypical for the industry, but it's right there in the terms & conditions.

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.

Sadly this is literally the best news i have gotten on this.
How much did you have to wager, they are making me do 94k

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.
