    Skybook problem

    I just deposited $500 into Skybook. I used to have a way higher limit and i took the bonus this time an 11xs rollover. So i have to do like over $11000.
    In the past (I can see when i go on the line to make the bets)i have bet almost $2500 there at times. Now they tell me it is $500(It was $250 but they at least raised that)maximum bet.It will take forever to reach it at that rate. They did let me bet heavier this time but i have to get permission every time now it is Over $500. What bothers me is in the past they told me i had way higher limits and now it is WAY less.If i would have known that i would have never deposited but what is done is done.
    Does anyone else i am wondering have that problem? Do you deposit say $500 then work it up and want to take a shot then end up having to get permission? If so do they normally approve the larger bet?Just wondering because at $500 a game it will take me forever to get there.
    I never have deposited more then $900 in a sportsbook at 1 time normally it is at $500-$600 and i work it up.So i know that is what i deposited here in the past and i used to have way higher limits.

    $500 max bet for a man depositing $500 VERY reasonable.

    22 bets is forever? I don't think you will find much sympathy around here. An 11 time roll-over on a 100% bonus is not a bad deal. I think the limits may have changed when Skybook got bought out by Phoenix --- or shortly thereafter when Phoenix went thru its payout problems for a while. I know my limits at all the Phoenix family sites were decreased also.

    yes it is mindboggling to start with 1K and want higher limits that $500.

    Wanting something is not mindboggling. And, limits are not determined by deposit amount generally. They are site-dependent, I am thinking. And, smaller books like smaller limits. Deposit $500 at Bookmaker and they will happily accept very large bets if your balance gets there.

    ive

    dozens of small shops offer 100% match bonuses, name one that does this and allows 1k bet while you have a RO. I'm sure they big boys let you bet 5k plsu a game but again i am speaking of 100% bonuses.

    O.k. I currently have a roll-over at BI. They allow me to wager $2000 in the NFL ( my limits in other sports have been reduced from previous times ). The big books sometimes offer larger bonuses also, but in general you are right --- tho I don't understand why you are making an issue out of something that does not contradict my post, or seem to be of any interest to the OP?
