How the hell is gtbet rated B+

[PhoKing]

I'm a rec player and even I got fuuucking limited.

And it takes two BUSINESS days to receive a btc payout? How the fuuuuck is that possible nowadays?

Don't get me even fooking started with how they stiff you with btc payouts. No matter how volatile btc gets I'm consistantly getting 5-10% less of the payout I'm owed lmao?

Should change the name to mickeymousebets

Hi PhoKing,

It's a good sign that you are making some +EV wagers when a linesman cuts your limits. It is also a good sign that the sportsbook is active in their risk mgt. Sportsbooks are not all created equal. We appreciate you sharing your feedback.

I guess it's a good sign that we're getting stiff 5-10% each payout huh. "Free" bitcoin my ass lmao

And 2 business day for a btc payout warrants a B+ grade nowadays? Okkkkk buddy

Wonder how much they are paying sbr lmao

[DontTailMe]

GTBets is by far one of the quickest books to limit players. There's risk management...and then there's whatever GTBets is doing. Literally, win a few bets, and you're limited. It's nuts.

1 of a decreasing number of books SBR can use in their odds pages. SBR have to play nice. :wink:

100% agree with initiator of the post....super, SUPER paranoid book. Total mickey mouse job. I rememeber opening account betting huge MLB faves (mostly) and a few here and there props ( i mean small shit) they cut me to like $25 bucks. Thank you for bonus, rolled, withdrew, end of story.
The grading of books isnt based on their level of risk management, its on the actual book in terms of payouts, financial standing, etc. Or else 90% of the books these days would be F fuckking minus.
I will say this....most books are really quick to knowing if your trying to roll them bonus whoring with low juice cross betting other sportsbooks, a prop scalper, or anything in between. Its not like before when you could play a few months, even years b4 they booted your ass. Now most books its literally a day or two, week at most and they know what youre doing.
That being said some overreact waaaay to much (gtbets, bovada, heritage to name a few) and lose overall losing customers and wouldnt know risk management if they took online courses and graduated summa cumm fukking laude.

This is bullshiiit now. Gtbets said they sent the btc payout already but nothing was sent and even checked the blockchain log. I waited the day to follow up to make sure it hit the chain but still nothing...

they told me it's an issue with my wallet but bullshiiiit. I know if it is an issue with my wallet but its not...


What the fuuuck....

Most of these books use a 3rd party to process bitcoin payments. So when a customer service agent says they "sent" it, all that has really happened is that it has been sent to the 3rd party to be processed, and they don't have visibility into when that 3rd party actually initiates the transaction.

Not sure if that's what is causing the discrepancy in your case, but I wouldn't be surprised. Frustrating, I know.

Ok thanks I'll wait until tomorrow to see if they sent it.


Waiting 6 days now for a bitcoin payout is ridiculous....

since I got limited down to $10 they know I won't be playing there anymore and wanted to fuuck with me one last time lmao

If you're using BTC why not just use nitrogensports.eu?

Use 5dimes they have a rebate racebook and BTC payments are always fast and on point.

Apples and oranges. Just because someone is willing to transact in BTC doesn't necessarily mean they want their balances sitting in BTC.

Yeah, I've found that to be a common problem with GTBets as well, unfortunately.

I understand what you are saying but BTC is not readily available unless you are giving your information and paying a fee.

For me at least, I rarely ever cash it out after it gets deposited into my wallet, for the simple fact that I know I will need some in the near future and it will be a big pain in the ass to get.

I also regularly have guys calling trying to buy Bitcoin from me sometimes for a nominal fee.

I do understand where you're coming from though a couple Mondays back Bitcoin dropped 40%.

[Notown1]

They are a Mickey mouse book probably ran by 2-3 people out of a garage. They are a step below all those other big bonus books as far as im concerned

I keep some of my bankroll in a BTC wallet too. But I still try to keep as much as possible in US fiat books or cashed out to minimize my bitcoin currency risk. It's too volatile, and I'm a player in sports betting, not crypto speculation.

What books are you referring to?

[Notown1]

What books are you referring to?

Those books that offer 150-200% bonuses with like 30X rollovers. Theres a bunch of them out there. They pay but will kick you out the minute they realize you have a clue. I would rate gtbet lower than those books. Theres 0 appeal to play with them.

Could you please give an example?

Those big bonus books like 1vice, americas bookie, hrwager etc. They all pay but will kick you out as soon as you cash out

[cincy]

My limits got reduced from $250 to $25 this football season. That is ridiculous. No use for a place with $25 limits. Not sure why their rating moved from B+ to an A when they have ridiculous bet limits.

[ace7550]

They don't like winners. That's for damn sure.

[milwaukee mike]

They don't like winners. That's for damn sure.

sucks when places like that cut your limits to 25 or even 10 when you have a huge rollover to meet.

the only books winners can keep decent limits on all markets are bookmaker and betonline... and even bookmaker takes stuff off the board like tennis for certain players

[thagame24]

I wasn't gonna say anything because GT has been good to me over the years, but it's too perfect for this thread. I requested a btc payout on November 2nd, "approved" on the 3rd. Ok, sounds good right? Kept checking my wallet day after day, nothing. Finally on Friday I check in with live chat, the guy has the audacity to tell me that their 48 hour policy means 48 "business hours" and "as you know, there are only 8 business hours per day sir." So 48 hours means 6 business days according to GT. Received it in my wallet yesterday. Obvious slow roll during a huge BTC rally. I'd say they are a C book at best at this point, and dropping fast.

No way! It doesn't get more Mickey Mouse than that
That takes 2nd only to HRwager who sent a player a box full of loose ones and change.

Yep. The drop in quality from A+ books to B+ books is huge.

That's obviously not what they mean by 48 hours. What a scumbag to try pulling that lie off with you. Just say you're sorry and you're getting to every transaction as soon as possible. Jeez.

cannot agree more.
Played literally a couple days (2-3 tops?) played mostly MLB faves too, got cut to 700...500...300/game full sides.
Honestly dont know WTF kinda clientele they go after here. Even took away 1/2 point on favorite teams mid-season this year. Also took away betpoints, you know, those rewards where you risk about 50k to get what 50 bucks of freeplays if youre lucky? Yes even my 40 bucks accumulated were confiscated. I said how long will it take to get all funds withdraw via BTC and close account, the chat rep has the nerve to ask my why was I thinking of closing it. I laid it on them pretty thick in a civilized manner, but by far, this is the most paranoid (for no legit reason) bizarre and pathetic attempt for a book Ive ever come across in 25 years of sports betting, and have seen more than my share. Wagerweb a distant second.

that is a new one, 48 business hours and only 8 business hours in a day

gotta give the guy credit, with all the shitty excuses from all the shitty books, he gave us something original

[DISTROYA]

I'm sure lotta people are being blindly limited left and right, so they are all pulling their funds in a rush. Prob have a run going on them. One last payout till free and clear of these epic idiots.

[hortonmi]

I don't want to question SBR's rating protocols, however it's well documented that GTBets will limit winning players very quickly, if you take a + payout from them, you're as good as banished

[jjgold]

tiny book

not even worth playing
