    Williamhill reducing limits after winning?

    Hello
    I don't normally post. Long time follower. I recently went on a little run the past 2 weeks on Williamhill. Deposited $200 ran it up to about $6000. Cashed out a couple times, no problems. Just the general copy of documents, selfie with documents, more documents. Once everything was approved I had no problems with withdraws. Great turn around of 12-14 hours. My normal bets were $200-400, max I bet was $900. Once I really started winning they capped my bets at $20-$50. Is this normal procedure? I called and took out the rest of my money so hopefully it comes no problem. Just would like to hear other experiences. I bet on everything. Mostly tennis and baseball and basketball. Thanks

    You should get the rest of the money no problem. And yes this is a semi common occurence.

    It doesn't sound like you would meet the normal profile of someone they would want to collar. Probably just an over zealous trader who saw you hit a slow moving price or a couple of sharp looking bets and imposed the limit.

    Would not be at all concerned about being paid.

    The funny part is I lost today. Ended up down $1100 before I cashed out. I noticed they limited right after I made the $900 bet that lost. Also do they ever raise the limits again or once it's set its done?

    Can't hurt to ask but it's pretty much forever usually.

    Crap, i liked that site. Very good in play options. They said I could play their casino and other games with no limits of course. Just not sports. Oh well. Thanks for your input.

    We have a short article here talking about why books limit players http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr-...winning-50086/

    Might help you to avoid it in future.

    Just wanted to say I did get my money no problems. Still a decent book in my eyes just was unfortunate to get capped. Thanks

    In Vegas Will Hill gives sharps 10% their normal limits on their app.

    If you attempt to bet a side in a non-USA sport one of 3 things will happen...

    1) Approved within 30 seconds (usually means Nick is working)
    2) Bet is rejected, they then offer a buy back on the other side or .05 cents from a buy back (old Leroy's guys)
    3) They sit in purgatory for 5+ minutes before resorting to step 2

    The bets seem reasonable I don't know why they would cut your limit

    No surprise that their reducing limits. Williamhill are awful / No bookmaker like them welcome winning gamblers. Do you no how to 'lay' on Betfair ? Use google and find out how you can stop them reducing you by backing and laying once you go on a nice run like you have.
