I opened an account with GTbets two weeks ago and have been very active in their live sports, non-live sports, and casino.

I first made a deposit for $5k (the $750 bonus rollover was easily cleared with my betting habits), lost most of it, made another deposit for $1k, ran it up to $9.5k in a couple days, and recently made a withdrawal for $4k.

I mainly place wagers in their live NBA and Tennis sportsbook, usually for the maximum, and have won ~$1600. I generally bet on the team or player that I am rooting for while watching the game on YoutubeTV.
In addition, I placed a couple of large non-live wagers that won ~$800.
Finally, I also play a lot of Blackjack in their casino and won ~$400.

I found out today that my sportsbook betting limits have been decreased to 20% ($100 from $500, $50 from $250, $70 from $350, etc.). My casino limits have thankfully not been decreased.

In four or five of my NBA half bets where I placed the wager well before the half was over, the game came down to the final buzzer, and I got lucky in most of these games. Some of these games came down to players making 3s right on the buzzer or missing free throws in the 4th quarter.

I have technically been winning for the past couple weeks in each of their departments (live, non-live, casino). After chatting with their CSR, I got the impression that they decrease your limits if you are winning player, without really looking at the circumstances.

Have others experienced similar betting limit changes after going on a hot streak?

any book is allowed to lower your limits.

I agree. I am probably one of the most degenerate gamblers out there. I am up over $30k in one sportsbook and down almost $100k in another, with a bunch in the middle (probably down $60k or so overall in the past two years). I've been on $30k streaks in a given site's casinos+sports before but never had my limits cut. I generally end up losing it back after these hot streaks, and I am fine with that. I just love betting on sports while watching the game, and then playing the casino afterwards.

Has anyone had success asking GTbets or other sites to raise the limits back? Unlike other sites, I quite like the big bubbly icons that GTbets has as it helps me click better. For example, I can never seem to correctly click BetOnline's tiny buttons.

Can't be sure how in depth they looked at your activity, but mostly live betting two sports could have made them assume you think you have an edge there.

They are a recreational bettor sort of book, not really much utility trying to compare them to Pinny/Bookmaker. You can say 99% of other books in the world are not as tolerant of sharps and winners than those two.



Chances of getting them to re-raise limits.... hmmm, close to nil. But they won't go back up by Not asking! So amy as well try.

Basically, what I am trying to ask in this thread is whether people have had success in reinstating their sportsbook limits.

The main reason I use GTbets is for the website and big buttons. I play their casino because I have money in the account from the sportsbook, even though I prefer the live dealers on other sites.

If the answer to the above question is generally "no", then I would probably just end up going back to another site. It's just a hassle to do this since I just recently switched over to GTbets.

The answer is definitely generally no.

But you have made a good case that they have jumped the gun limiting you in this thread.

Send an email asking for a manager to review it. 2 mins effort.

Thanks for the info. I'll try asking them again next week.

It was just shocking that winning a total of ~$3k in sports + casinos with a typical bet size of $500 in sports and $100 in blackjack would lead to cutting limits.

I'm no math expert, but aren't the chances of being up $3k with those types of bets reasonably high?

Yeah, doubtful it's the won amount itself.

Max bets and focusing on particular markets is more likely.

Rec books rely on strong player management. If you look sharp it's not that uncommon to be collared before you've done too much damage.

They are simply not worth anyone's time they limited me in less than 48 hours a complete joke of a sports book.
And at least half of my bets were in the baseball season on heavy favorites go figure

[EveryNight]

They limited me pretty quickly but paid out without hassle so can't complain. Just a small book where you won't get much down, but your money is safe.

[TourLooper]

I've still got decent limits there (3k) but I think I'm down some overall. If they're ever thinking about limiting me, I'd rather they just call me and tell me they don't want my business anymore. The day they limit me is the day I close my account there..

[JeremyLing]

It seems like they are not planning on increasing back the limits.

It's a shame. I really liked their website design and their casino. Played blackjack for a couple hours on Monday and ended up betting a couple hundred thousand dollars total (still net positive in their casino!).

Will start withdrawing most of the funds...back to Bovada, I guess.

Gtbets is quick to limit. Did this to me a few years back right after I took a bonus, forcing me to complete it with very low limits. Shiit book IMO. Luckily you don't have a RO to complete. Move on, there are better Books out there.

[Grumsi]

any book is allowed to lower your limits.

We should fight for player's rights that books shouldn't be allowed to do this while having a RO to complete. If book can't handle a winning player, then they should stop giving a bonus. Or I am sure all could be handled better with some sort of compensation. But right now, we (players) are screwed if we take a bonus.
