    Down $17k on mybookie and now they wont pay me
    Hi all I am writing this to share my experience on mybookie. I am a classic degen who enjoys action on games, probably too much and over long term I am down a bunch. Part of my story is embarrassing, part of it is worth bragging about, and part of it is extremely frustrating which is why I am sharing this. I created my account in Early December of 2019. I have deposited approximately $17,000 to date which is only about 1 month's time. Usually from depositing $500-1500 at a time. 0 payouts. I have requested payout in the past but ended up losing my account before the payout process was finished. Less than a week ago I logged on my account and had about $70 in freeplay. Long story short I went on an insane run and in less than a week I have $29k in my account. Pretty crazy. The run was catapulted from the Vikings beating the Saints out right followed up by college basketball and nba heater betting $2k a game plus halves, and live bets. Approx 80-90% of my wagers are on sides, and the rest an occasional total.


    A few days ago, I requested a payout via bitcoin for the max $5000. It was taking a long time through the approval process. I kept calling to find updates and it was hardly helpful. Finally they told me I need to verify my account. I had already sent them my ID, cc, address etc so I was confused by this but I'm doing everything to comply to try and make the process go smooth. They ask again I say whatever ok and send them bank statement with address, ID, etc. My account gets verified (again) and I am "good to go". I figure no issues and that I will get my $. I keep calling and finally I get an update that my payout is declined. I call customer service to ask why this is and they can't tell me why, management is busy, they will call me back by 7et. I call multiple times before 7 just to make sure they know I am not going away and want my money. I get the same answer that they will call me back. Well of course no call back by 7et... On the last call they told me that I was declined because it has something to do with a 50/50 rule that they can't go into detail to explain what is is, but that management will call me within a few days to explain. At this point I am starting to panic about my situation and feel completely scammed. I DM'd the mybookie twitter account last night to share my story. They respond promptly and told me a guy named "Butch" from risk management will be calling me tomorrow to sort out my account. I am eagerly awaiting a call today from Butch. I will be providing updates wish me luck.......

    If you search the forum you will find many similar stories. The 50/50 rule is discussed along with the Butch call. Good luck getting your money, you’re going to need it.

    Thats a helluva run, $70 FP to $29k. WTG!

          You definitely don't want to talk to Butch. He's no help according to others. I think the person that was helpful was named Mark? or Kevin? Something like that. I'd say you will probably get paid if everything you did is on the up and up. They may just end up paying you $5k a week.

          Hope you get this resolved.

            They are not really giving me a choice of who I can talk to... If you figure out the helpful person I will ask specifically for him. Thank you!

              Good this 50/50 rule crazy I think they made it for people not to take advantage of them in props and stuff and live betting all the time. It looks like the customers are the one getting taken advantage though if they really wanted to they can say this on all withdrawals request god I hope not I just tried them out.

                I mean, it's no secret that they are easy to beat on props and are late movers on live betting. Add in players that may be sharp, taking 100% bonuses etc it's not surprising that they make up BS rules bc they get wrecked. Doesn't mean that they shouldn't pay players out though.

                I'd like to know how people get $2,000 limits there though. I've been at $500 limits on major markets since day 1 with them.

                  Nice heater but means nothing if you cannot get paid. Very sad.

                  Can SBR rate this book as an F? Not sure how they are a C+.

                              They really don't deserve an F. They are mostly just a hassle to deal with and in some cases take a while to verify your information. C+ could be a bit high though.

                                They stole from me and SBR agreed that they stole from me.

                                Other books that have stolen in the past are at D- with no chance of being upgraded.

                                The ratings aren't really adjusted all that much, like they were in the past.

                                      Yeah that's pretty messed up. They definitely don't like to play by the rules and book players fair and square. I wouldn't even consider MyBookie if they weren't so damn easy to beat. Plus the infinite 100% free play offers with 10x. I don't bet my normal amounts there for spreads/totals because they won't take anything over $500 from me but they've never given me any trouble outside of delays on btc payouts and delay on initial verification.

                                      I would definitely think a drop from C+ to C- would be reasonable after all the problems and headaches players have posted on here.

                                          Not really resolved until you actually get your cash, is it? Even then, if you get 5k, you will still be down 12k overall.

                                            Took the 100% free play bonus on a $100 deposit with mybookie. Went all in on a three game parlay on NFL Divisional Round involving the spread lines of Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers and KC Chiefs.

                                            My balance is sitting at about $1300 now and rollover is $100/$2000. Still have $1900 to play but is looking really good with the headstart of the parlay. I plan on doing a wager of $100 per play until I complete the rollover.

                                            Will I have any problems with this style of playing come withdrawal time?

I wouldn't even consider MyBookie if they weren't so damn easy to beat. Plus the infinite 100% free play offers with 10x. I don't bet my normal amounts there for spreads/totals because they won't take anything over $500 from me but they've never given me any trouble outside of delays on btc payouts and delay on initial verification.

                                              I would definitely think a drop from C+ to C- would be reasonable after all the problems and headaches players have posted on here.
                                              If people are not getting paid I think that makes a book useless no matter what else they do. Too many occurrences for them with not paying on this forum.

                                                    So that's 24k left, I wouldn't celebrate too early but great you had at least 5k back.

                                                        I have the same problems now. They keep saying that I did not comply with 50/60 rules, but I did everything he said, they just keep make up reason to hold your payout, when you are out of patience, then you will lose all of your money. I have 8k now, can’t cash it out. Already filed complaint
