    marathonbet limits

    I was heavily limited by marathonbet. just 1 or 2 euros and this happened the day after I lost 300 euros with them. 2 friends of mine were also limited. What is hapenning is a new policy, or they are they are limiting bettors on country bases? Is there any other beeing limited there?
    Thank You

    They cut limits very quickly.
    Sometimes after first bet.
    Especially if you are a strong bettor

    Great odds, big delay... The limits are keeping them safe from arbers.

    I'm limited to £1 on most sports now, so beware if you put on large bets cos chances are you'll get limited pretty quickly

    You do hear a lot of limit complaints about them. On the other hand, I've not been limited there, and I'm limited/banned pretty much everywhere else except pinny/sbo (I have accounts at about 200 books over the years).

    Maybe that's just coincidence, and I haven't triggered whatever automatic limiting method they have yet. Or perhaps it's because I don't arb, I only play one sport, and don't limit bet (lots of smaller bets).

    What`s wrong with you, if you are limited at Pinny and Sbobet
    Rather sooner than later, you will be limited at Marathonbet like all. Don`t believe they will forget you

    Does it mean that SBO dont limit so easily? What if I open an account at SBO through an agent? Is my agent responsible for that?

    If u open an account through an Agent, u wont get limited. Btw, u can open "100drets" accounts through an agent at sbobet.

    I am playing from europe (serbia) and also I got very quick limited on few euros, and got very dissapointed about that fact. I called them to complain about that and they told me that they will contact me for 7 days...Marathon is very important for arbers so I have to find a vay to avoid limits. I havent played that great stakes, about 200-300 euros, but got limited very soon.

    PS what means "open an account through an Agent"?

    Why should he? How many people have you heard about getting limited at SBO not playing through an agent?

    You are exactly the customer they want out with their limiting.

    An agent is like a middle man that your action goes through. Reasons for using an agent would be cirumventing limits and getting access to some places that are invite only. Keep in mind you'd have to trust the agent with your $ as well. There are agents for other places too, but you wont find some public arb heaven allowing you to get down unlimited amounts at marathon, bwin or similar.

    Just for your information, since your aim seems to be arbing, and you were somewhat disappointed with being limited at marathon for doing so. Expect to get the same treatment at just about every book, save just a few... They simply dont enjoy being freerolled, and who would.

    The problem is you suggested opening an account through an agent at a book that is not known to limit their customers in the first place. There is little reason to do so unless you're restricted by your location or something like that wouldnt you agree? Its just an extra middle hand with potential extra fees, hassle, and risk involved.

    I would never suggest to open an account by an agent, if you can normally register by a Bookie (Sbobet, Pinny) < maybe i have expressed myselfe a little bit wrong.
    Agent`s are only for guys, who are restricted by their location and/or the get access to Books like IBCbet.

    thanks for your detailed explanation, i sure heard of "middle man that your action goes through" but I just didnt know that those are called agens. As the point of arbing I dont have much experience but I expect not to be limited only by bet365, SBO, pinny and betfair, betdaq and smarkets.

    bet365 will limit you quickly, the rest should be ok with the exception of maybe smarkets, there was a guy on here that got kicked out for winning which is baffeling considering they market themselves as an exchange.

    is there any other bookes beside those that are useful in arbs and do not limit quickly? because pinny and SBO are just two real (not exchange) bookes and two is small amount

    IBC. Pretty much no book likes arbers, it's the nature of the beast.

    You're very rarely going to find an arb between those books either because they're far more competent as far as linemaking goes. So you're either going to have to speculate in line moves pre match, or trade in play, either not being the sure thing arbers want to do.

    Yeah, but not only here.

    they are advertising everywhere with FAST PAYOUT, GREAT ODDS.

    Who cares about fast payouts, best odds, if such a loser Bookie is only good in limiting customers as fast as nearly no other Bookie.

    They should rename their Slogan in: "We are Number 1 in Limitation"

    Are they limiting quickly ? Sure they are, but no way they could be no 1 when there are places like Betsafe and PaddyPower that limit you to few bucks even before you made your 1st bet (at least Marathon let me make 5-6 bets before i was limited)

    Any of you guys know what the limits are like for your first bet? On a low grade soccer game?
    Does it tell you the maximum?
    Thanks.

    Yep, it tells you the max. bet. For instance it tells me that on low grade Estonian soccer game which is played today i can bet 1.72 EUR @3.90, and as i know that all my bets are limited to 1/100 of the original limits that would make your first bet max. on that game 172 EUR @3.90 (so your winnings max is set at 500EUR for 1x2 market, lower on other markets)

    Thanks buddy. win 500 isnt bad to start with (on that league.)
    Was an arb yesterday with paddy power, estonia funninly enough.
    Still not sure who was "right" as they both suck, but in this case i think paddy power were off as they still are...

    Arb on PaddyPower on Estonian league, i had a good laugh when i read this. My max winnings on such a league at Paddy is around 10 EUR and was the same when i joined a few years ago (before i even made my 1st bet) so arbing was never even an option.

    its 300 ish max winnings for a normal account. on paddy power.
    Once it hits in play, then upto 1k and they offer the same odds usually.
    they limit, but not that quickly.

    Probably if you live in one of the chosen countries, for the rest of us it's 10EUR from the very beginning. One good thing i can say about Marathon is they think my 100EUR is as good as someones in Germany (which can't be said for a lot of Euro bookies) and he'll get limited as fast as i if he hits the same lines.
