good luck, hope you get paid quick

FWIW, I tested their widely advertised slogan ('we meet or beat that bonus'), a topic that came up here recently, and showed them the current Heritage offer of 100% cash bonus for a 1K deposit. They honored it, even after the promotion had officially expired. They offer MLB dimelines, so not a bad outfit to have around for summer.

Hold that congrats until I receive my check requested on March 26th or my limits are raised from $1.

MBENZ,

BetOnline (or any sportsbook for that matter) are free to impose wagering limits as seen fit. There was no bonus or rollover situation for Sam B., so I fail to see how him having props limited to $1.00 is anything more than active risk mgt.

We've been told his check was already cut and is presently en route, on business day #9 of an expected 2-10 business day time-frame.

Betonline pays. just slower than most books. Their bank wires take upwards of 3 weeks, which is pretty unacceptable. Add in the fact they limit how often you can request it and the amounts... if you build up any sort of significant balance you will be spending 2-3 months withdrawing your funds, like I had to last spring.

Except that BOL posted here about a month or two ago that they'd be raising the limits of anyone who'd had their limits cut for things other than cheating the book, which certainly makes it sound like this guy's limits were cut for punitive reasons.

The more important part of "how soon everyone forgets" is that it took these idiots 3 or 4 weeks to figure out how to properly grade a prop they stole from the Greek. It really shouldn't take 3 or 4 weeks to figure out that if you offer the same prop on SEC divisions and the Big East that the former shouldn't apply to the regular season while the latter applies to the tournament.

[Rollins08]

I've gotten bankwires from them in 5-8 business days. Not bad, but not as good as some others.

[BET THE HOOK]

Alex is trying guys. I was a little pissed today because I got different answers from different clerks about the same thing today and thought I was gonna get shafted out of my loyalty reward points but Alex came through. I cant tell you guys how special Stella is to this book. She is the best CS rep they have but some of the others are idiots who answer without knowing what they are talking about which is why I had a problem today. They are really turning it around since I gave them a chance with my business again but they are gonna have growing pains like everybody else.

Some updates: My check requested on March 26th has not been received. It is now past 10 business days since the request. The check was processed on April 4, and I was told today to expect it up to 10 business days from the process date, not the request date, which would be next Friday, April 16. I can wait another week.

My limits were reduced to $1 on EVERYTHING, including baseball and basketball sides and totals, so I began the process of withdrawing all my funds this week. More active risk management I suppose. I made 4 more check requests (with a $50 fee each) on Wednesday, April 7th. They were all requested at the same time, but will be submitted for approval at 3-day intervals (one has already been approved). I will keep everyone here updated on the status of my payouts.

I have been assured by at least two of the mods here that I will be paid in full and Alex has also assured me the first check is on its way. Since these are the same players that helped resolve my wager dispute last month, I have no reason to believe I won't be receiving my money in a timely fashion.

[siabdo23]

I just wonder why they are rated so high

[Tomato]

Tomato thought that "Alex" was going around boasting about how there was no more limit cutting going on?

You're asking for trouble dealing the same type of lines as Bodog and SIA with limits comparable to professional books.

Sorry to step on the toes of one of your sponsors but it is blatenly obvious that foot dragging is going on.Also if a repudible book doesn't want your action,they pay you in full and say adios,they don't make you wait for your dough and then fee the hell of you to get it.I'm done trying to point out the obvious and I sincerely hope Sam gets his money but I have been in this spot before and never got paid and these same tactics led up to it.

[Johnny 55]

They have payed me a little slow but they have payed. Their CS agents are clueless.

[BrianLaverty]

It takes them 10+ business days to send a check... they wouldnt give me a tracking # til afer the 10 business days were gone... yeah, there average but thats unacceptable....

Good to hear..., i was already fighting on my mind about books not paying customer cuz the low season...

[statnerds]

well the funds have been removed from my account so i guess that means check has been processed. was told if any issue arise i will be contacted by phone. and i just checked and i have no new message after logging in either.

i didn't mention anything about being a member here at SBR, sounds like an arrogant or tough guy thing to say. but i will be praising or bashing them based on this transaction.

[statnerds]

you'll never guess what happened when i went to my mailbox this morning...

still no check.

that's 7 days guys, dropping this book to just above avoid status.

[pat venditto]

How is this book a top tier book. I've never heard too much positive feedback about them

[wtt0315]

wow that sucks

[joe blow]

No it doesn't..I had funds removed from my acct,from a book.[not this one].I thought the same thing.
I got a everyday run around.I received the check 3 weeks later.I noticed that the check was sent 2 days earlier.

what makes you think this is a top tier book?They have been slow paying for years

[Chi_archie]

c'mon betonline, do the right thing

[tltaylor89]

Damn Stat hope they aren't slow paying.

[durito]

Oh noes, 7 days

[statnerds]

Oh noes, 7 days

Youwager took less than 24 hours to get me a check when i used them.

so in the future, which one am i more likely to return to? in the future, anyone reading posts similar to this one will choose which book?

[BestPlay2day]

I received my check from BetJamaica fed ex the next day when I requested a check the morning before. That is a great turnaround and is why BetJamaica is my favorite book. Plus 1 free withdraw per month, no $50 fee bullshit!

The one with the more beatable numbers.

[bradthebloke]

[BET THE HOOK]

How can it take so long to get you a check?

Update: On Friday 4/16, I received my check requested on 3/26. That's 15 business days from the request date and 10 business days from the "paid" date of 4/3.

Four more to go. Since checks are processed 3 days apart, I expect those checks to arrive 3 days apart, beginning on 4/28. I will still have a balance after all of the checks are received and hope the bank wire option is available by then.

[durito]

They are processed 3 "panamanian" business days apart. They often have 2 panamanian holidays per week, at least in the BetOnline office they do.

[HedgeHog]

Big surprise that BOL's Alex has no response to this thread.
