    I can only bet a maximum of $44 at SIA

    I had full limits for almost two years and last night I got collared and my maximum bet was $110 and after a sent them an email asking them to fix this my maximum bet was changed $44. What gives?

    Emily you will shortly get an e mail to the effect of "Our risk assessment department has advised us you have hit the maximum allowable winnings for a recreational player. Please be advised your limits have been adjusted to reflect this".

    I got limited to 110 3 days later to 44 then 1 week later to 0. Once I withdrew my account was locked.

    It depends generally, but if you are constantly on the "right" side of the number with very few-EV plays it can be as low as 7K most times people will get limited in the 10-12K range.

    Their booting e-mail is one of the best I have seen.

    They congratulate you on your winning play, then the news that "the risk assessment department has determined...."

    I'll look up mine if I can find it and post it, it is classic.

    Matchbook or any market books are necessary. i remembered you don't even need to send IDs for matchbook... it is like they don't even give a crap about it. the more bets people are wagering, the more money they will make.

    44 is a great number because it's a $44 to win $40 at -110

    It has been determined by Sports Interaction management that your earnings with us have now exceeded the allowable income on an account, as per the Terms and Conditions.

    I don't see anything even close to a term/condition referencing "allowable income" -- am I missing it?

    Just curious, but what does it take for a book to have it's rating reduced?

    LOL.

    Nothing wrong with a 10K separation agreement.

    I actually made it up to 13K.

    I only made it to 8K peep. I did have a good weekend where I won 7K and withdrew 5K. I probably could have gone higher but with their rep I wanted to get my 5K out then play with the 2K after. I think the withdrawal triggered there security department.

    Extremely opinionated lines. Why not get the extra point or sometimes more for free. Looking at a few of tomorrows games. You can get Carolina +2.5 -105. Pinny +1 -106. Just one small example.
