BOL rollover only gives 50% lower amount of risk or win for baseball and hockey

[reallyhardtowin]

I always thought it was bullshot that they took the lower amount of what you risk or win but now they only give you 50% for baseball and hockey wagers?

If you bet 200 to win 100 on Vegas last night they would only compute $50 towards the rollover.

I know others don't take this and I typically don't use it until I finish the rollover but I noticed the amount computed this morning was less than a $200 wager I had on the Rockies last night. They were a dog at +102 but only get $100 towards the rollover.

I didn't think this was the case with baseball. The rule says they do this due to the reduced juice. WTF?

Yep it sucks. But it's stated clearly in their rules.

so basically the rollover is actually double what they advertise.
10X roll is really 20X etc. players need to know this before accepting a bonus.

[reallyhardtowin]

I agree that it is in the rules. I don't think it has always been in the rules. It appears they made some changes in early August. The other point made previously is that the 10 lines in MLB have been pushed down further than in the past. It's like adding a second zero in roulette - it just makes it harder and harder to win.

Betus has always done this too.

I won’t take a bonus under these rules

It's only MLB bets affected, not everything.

Correct. So IF you ONLY bet baseball it would be 20x however betting other sports not so.

Hockey also.

it was not always like that. now that it is i find it a major turn off from depositing as i play a lot of baseball and hockey.

90% of my betting is on MLB. It definitely sucks. When did they change it?

Correct. It changed sometime around a year ago maybe? Anyways, there was a thread here about it when the change was made.

BOL now crediting only 50% of MLB amounts for rollovers

Pretty shitty move for such a huge book, dont you agree?
Take a team for -130, say 1300 to win 1000, they only credit 500.
BOOOOOOOO

It's been this way for awhile. They do the same on NHL bets. I agree it's shitty.

[DISTROYA]

Shit I had no idea. How lame is this really. I only noticed when I was less than 2k from rollover completion, bet little over 2k on a game saturday, to see still have 1k to go.

[BAUS]

And their baseball juice is slightly higher than 2019.

[DISTROYA]

Needless to say their bonuses are not worth it at all especially now. Imho

[ace7550]

You can also only use FP up to +125 on MLB too. Used to be you could use it on any ML MLB bet. Also you can only bet up to $250 per FP bet on MLB.

1. Baseball and Hockey Free Plays can only be used on Moneylines and Totals to max odds of +125.
2. Baseball and Hockey Free Plays are restricted to a maximum wager of $250 per event.

I still like BOL/SBAG but these new rules definitely suck for the player.
On another note, there is no limit on FP betting in Golf matchups and there are some huge dogs for this week's tourney. If you need to flip some FP on BOL/SBAG you will get a ton of value in Golf.

I would see this as the closing of a loophole. That was a pretty great deal. Out of curiosity does it apply to baseball totals? That would be brutal.

NHL and MLB. This book is slowly tweaking its way into scam territory.

LOL. No.

No, just making it a little less competitive with other shops.

Very very far from a scam.

[frankthetank]

Funny, they are considered a "rogue outfit" on affiliate watchdog sites. They back-end people for a double rollover and they free roll the guy who started this thread. But they are not tweaking their way into scam territory? Got it.

There are a lot of books that do a lot worse stuff. For whatever reason offshore sportsbooks aren't held to the same standards as we are used to with just about everything else. I understand your frustration. I hate the new rules too. I just think "scam" is too strong a word to use just yet.

[frankthetank]

That's why I said "slowly tweaking into scam territory" as opposed to "is an outright scam" But you go ahead and read my comment any way you want to.

Where does OP describe BOL free rolling him?

This rollover change is in their rules. It might not be customer friendly, but it's light-years away from "scam" territory. BOL family bonuses aren't very valuable, and I very rarely accept them. But even if you completely remove deposit bonuses from the equation, BOL is easily one of the top sportsbooks in the US right now.

[frankthetank]

different BO post. Thought it was this one. Anyhow, There is a free roll post out there somewhere in this forum recently. They are engaging in slightly more and more shady activity over time. I have been with them 15 years so I can see the changes. You can think what you want but they are headed in the wrong direction. Probably as states legalize wagering more and more they are squeezing what they can while they can.

Freeplay rules are so sketchy and slanted towards the book. I just went through HRW's rules in a chat session. When I question certain rules or inquire about others I know aren't listed they answer with additional rules that aren't stated and others that aren't enforced. Then there is always the, "We reserve the right to change these rules without notice"

One of the reasons you should only play with trusted books.

[DISTROYA]

Is there one single book that has improved in the past few years I can't name 1 that has not dramatically declined just about across-the-board in every category important to the player
