BetOnline Misrepresenting Themselves

**katstale** · 12-08-09, 06:35 PM

many threads on here describing in detail who and what they are

**BET THE HOOK** · 12-08-09, 06:57 PM

That is probably an old grade

**tomcowley** · 12-08-09, 07:03 PM

No. They were never A+. Shouldn't have ever been A-.

**JoeVig** · 12-08-09, 08:40 PM

I got called today for a post up. Been a while since I have heard from them actually, used to be about twice a month.

**topgame85** · 12-08-09, 08:59 PM

they were at least A at some point

**UV82** · 12-08-09, 11:04 PM

C Book at best

**miektheman** · 12-08-09, 11:17 PM

I took it up myself to enlist the help of my faithful manservant, Miguel, to get to the bottom of this:

Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK152030020984X. Please record it in case of pending issue. Henry: Thank you for contacting BetOnline Live Chat Service. How may I assist you today?
Miguel: Hello. You have the SBR rated A+ at the bottom of the screen. What does that mean?
Henry: It's pretty simple, Miguel. Our Sportsbook offers the best odds in all major sports and leagues including the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, NCAA basketball and football, golf, soccer, boxing and much more.
Henry: In addition, We are endorsed and monitored by The OSGA, receiving an A+ which is a grade that qualify us as one of the top 5 Sportsbook in the world.
Miguel: Cool. So you're SBR A+ and OSGA top 5/A+?
Henry: As you can see, We are in our 18th football season. And it looks like it is going to be our biggest yet!
Henry: Correct.
Henry: Also, here at Betonline.com, we are proud to say that we offer the fastest payout in the industry.
Miguel: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr/betonline/ How come this site says you're a B+ only?
Henry: For that reason and many reasons more we earned that score.
Miguel: Hello?
Henry: We are currently in the process of correcting that.
Miguel: Oh. So you're not an A+

Henry: Not until further notice. But, we'll get back to A Status in no time.
Miguel: Why did you tell me that you were A+?
Henry: We are rated A+ by the OSGA.
Miguel: Oh.
Miguel: But why does the picture say SBR Rated A+ when you aren't?
Miguel: And when I asked above, you said I was correct?!!?
Henry: Pretty simple, Miguel. We are still in the process of correcting that with SBR.
Miguel: Oh okay. So SBR's site is wrong.
Miguel: Well thats good

Henry: Like I said before, We'll get back to A+ in no time.
Miguel: Oh... so you really aren't A+, you're B+ but getting back to A+?
Henry: That's correct.
Miguel: But the stuff at the bottom says you were never rated A+... The highest was an A-?
Henry: That's still an A. Isn't it?
Henry: We are still the best of the best.
Henry: Is there anything else I can assist you with at this time?
Miguel: Nope.

I'm still mildly amused that they decided to block international accounts the same day they were crediting BTP winnings ;-)

**treece** · 12-09-09, 02:31 AM

SBR should sue. Thats like some company selling medicine that says FDA approved when it isn't approved.

**Peeig** · 12-09-09, 08:56 AM

lol @ manservant

And give up advertising revenues? Fat chance!!

**mtneer1212** · 12-09-09, 10:17 PM

I have always felt this outfit was a bit shady and disingenuous.

**BET THE HOOK** · 12-09-09, 11:43 PM

Good job sniffing this one out.

**Vince Lombardi** · 12-10-09, 12:12 AM

Hey they are offering a 100% free play bonus on reloads. You just have to roll it over 14 times! That's bush!

**mtneer1212** · 12-10-09, 12:22 AM

Only 14 times?

**BubbleBobble** · 12-10-09, 04:26 AM

@Thremp that's hilarious

Just another example of why they cannot be trusted.

**Thremp** · 12-10-09, 05:08 AM

It warms my heart to see everyone so pleased by my trolling.

In other news, I'd like it if SBR wasn't such a money grubbing business and actually tried to do the right thing more often than pandering to $$$.

**BET THE HOOK** · 12-10-09, 09:02 AM

I will stick with my 100% cash bonus with 12x roll before I take that deal.

**Stumpage** · 12-10-09, 09:34 AM

"That's still an A, Isn't it?"

I get a kick out of that line. Gotta love BOL Logic...That and their apparently eternal quest to correct their SBR grading.

katsdale refers to their ever changing rollover calculations as "panamanian math" i suppose in panamanian english a B could be an A.

My C rating for them is a compliment - but for honesty & Integrity I give them D-

the only reason that they are not F is that eventually they pay, after taking your guts out ... but to even think of them to be at the same league as Pinny, The Greek or 5Dimes is hilarious.
