Hi

I am going to be opening an account on betoline soon. I am joining the site mainly for the poker. I have never sportsbet.

It's my understanding that bol offers promotions with deposits. They do not offer any other promotions with poker. It is also my understanding that the promotions revolve around betting in the sports book. and that if you don't bet in the sports book you cannot withdraw because you opted into the deposit bonus and you must clear this bonus first? Anyways, as you can tell i am a little confused on this, if someone can tell me the situation it would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, its my understanding that you can just opt out of getting any bonus and then you should have zero trouble withdrawing?

Please share thoughts. Thanks.

all i can say is dont waste your time in casinos including poker, all your doing is giving away your money..think about it why would any company program a game so that it is in the players favor?

I cant guarantee it, but I cant see how your funds could be locked up if you opt out of any bonus (you may have to roll it once or whatever as sites dont like you transfering funds without the purpose of gaming, but that obviously happens in no time playing poker). I think I saw someone mention a bonus for poker as well just the other day, as with so many other sites I assume its released in increments which can be nice if there is no rb.

I assume you're looking to play at bol because the network is supposedly soft, if you havent already, I recommend you do a little research on mysterious issues with them for poker players. I havent seen any recently, but remember seeing a few where I believe players who had won a decent chunk were accused to chip dumping and thus their accounts were to be closed and their funds confiscated. According to the OP's bringing the issues forward, they obviously claimed they hadnt done this. There were at least a few threads on here (if they still exist), but it was a good few months ago. Just a heads up, maybe something to keep in mind and perhaps do a little research on.

edit:

Just went do dig up some sources, apparently there was one recently (march), but there been others before that too.

I didnt read through them just to give you a basic idea of what has been, not sure how it is right now.

i think you are fine if you dont take a bonus except they might have a required length before you can withdraw since they want to make sure the payment clears, etc. that should be in their terms and conditions.
