    got booted from Americasbookie today and they owe me over $5800

    I completed my rollover last week and made a request for a free $3000 payout this morning with a person named owen. about 25 minutes later a i received a call from the same person that they were closing my account and sending me all of my funds by u s p s. they said that i would receive my money within a week.

    they probably think your a shark or personal gambler and they dont want you to take them alive, so why not use a book like heritage that will pay out up to 10k a day

    oh i have used heritage over the past 12 years. heritage is pretty quick to limit and/or boot you. they had me on a very low limit $250 for the past 3 years until about 7 months ago, then i got a call from someone at heritage with a english accent that said that i was no longer considered a professional player and raised up my limits. so i guess i have to them credit for that. although i feel like the reason that they originally limited me was undisclosed so that seemed completely arbitrary. because i have never really been a winner their or bet more 400 at a time.

    At least with these USA facing operators they seem to be a little more old school about bookmaking and give the customer a good amount of time to show what kind of bettor they are and at least if they limit you then sometimes the limit is still $250 which for quite a good percentage of customers would be at least somewhat workable.

    Compare that with European bookmakers where you can be limited in 5 bets and that's not limited to $250, that's being limited going from being able to bet £5000 one day and then being able to bet 10p the next day.

    So the style of the bookmaking operations and the traders within these USA bookmakers seems to be a lot more professional and fair compared to their European counterparts, the majority of which shouldn't be allowed to call themselves "bookmakers".

    Also using a book that has a 250 max bet, that is a great win... Very impressive..

    You won't have any problem getting paid. I've had a lot more than $5800 in my account in the past and never had an issue or slowpay. They don't shy away from the fact that they're a recreational book (which is a good thing from a risk management standpoint), so if they didn't want your action be happy you won some cash and move on.

    As long as they pay you. It should not be a problem. So Far, I haven't heard of people not getting paid at Americas Bookie and I have withdrawn from them successfully in the past.

    I thought America's bookie was a good book, and if they're paying that's the most important thing right?

    and well like some are saying here I heard Heritage doesn't close accounts, but lowers limits to the point where it's not worth it to bet with them. If I was the OP, I'd just be happy I was getting my money. I've never hit a streak to where I was needing 10k payouts, if only...

    Did they pay you the cash balance in your account? Was there still rollover left?

    they paid cash balance

    I had completed rollover several times over, I had not requested a withdrawal in a while before being booted.

    IMO you're owed the cash value of your $1900FP, roughly $1300. Wonder how SBR sees this unusual case.
