    GTbets "situation"

    I'd like to start off by saying that I'm not here to bash GTbets in anyway. I'm just posting this situation to make others aware of what the terms are in case anyone else received the Super Bowl coin toss free play or any other free plays from them.

    It was a few hours before Super Bowl kickoff and I got a text from GTbets saying I could win $25 if I texted back heads or tails and won....easy enough. I chose heads and the 25$ was put in my account the next day. This morning came and I had completely forgotten about the $25 when I went to the site to get info to send a deposit in. I saw that that it was there and played an exacta at Laurel that won and gave me back $357....perfect because I was going to deposit $300. I then proceeded to live chat to ask if there was any rollover or max payout associated with it (something I obviously should've done before making any wagers). I was told by Edmay that the max payout was $150 on any non-deposit free plays and the rest of the funds would be confiscated.

    Again, Im not here to bash or cry about free money, but it just seems that they shoud've let everyone know in the text about the max payout.

    Interested on getting opinions on this.

    definetly shady as hell if it was not stated clearly in the email about it. I was actually excluded from the promo and went to live help and told them that was BS they don't wanna throw a $25 coin toss promo after all the money i've lost there and they gave it to me aND never told about terms and conditions, I assumed there would be a roll over but never new about this rule.

    but to be fair they are pretty generous and seem to pay fast, i will continue to deposit there.

    That's the main reason why I wanted to post this, just to let others know about the max payout. I was never made aware of any terms or conditions in an email or text, guess they just assume you would go and look at them yourself (little shady, you're right). I'm just glad I asked when I did and not after I ran it up a few grand....that would've been disgusting....200$ not that big of a deal.

    Overall my experience has been good with them as well.

    Hey Laz.. Can you start sending me the pts you owe me every day please.? u owe like 2k
    I will pm u about the rest.




    As far as your sportsbook issue.. u probably should have asked first.. knowing there would be a max cashout on a freebet like that (typically). but now its too late anyway.

    GTBets is a joke. They restricted me to cash only deposits because I held them up to a bonus that they had promised me.

    That is pretty common for free play offers like that.

    true, i am a losing player there and excluded from the weekly newsletter/promo's. So my question for the OP was was this clearly stated in the T&C's of the promo in the email?

    The promo was sent to me a couple hours before kickoff via text. The only thing the text mentioned was "respond heads or tails with your account ID and win 25$ to be added to your account within 24 hrs". No T&C's were mentioned at all. I was made aware of the terms after I won another wager and inquired via live chat on my own.

    Hit up double-reload cash bonus on Saturday. 40% cash bonus and very, very easy to meet rollover requirements. This shop is very generous with their promos and I will continue to use them as my top 3 out. I guess some things happen for good reasons. I would have never signed up at Gtbets if it wasn't for BI taken off with my money.

    One more thing- just wanted to say that ONE Victor Igloo Cat has to be the shadiest book I have come across in my offshore venture.
