    Betonline.ag - In game limits cut

    Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    I do 80-90% of my betting in game, and on Sunday they decided to cut my limits for in game bets drastically. NFL went from $5000 to $250 on spreads, $100 on totals. All other sports $100 max now.

    I intentionally try to avoid betting a stale line or anything, though I am usually comparing them to bookmaker odds before placing bets. They have a fairly short timer between placing my bet and acceptance, and I'd guess about 10-20% of the time I try to place in game bets they get rejected and they move line before letting me bet, which was fine. I wouldn't even care if they put me on a longer timer, as I only bet during timeouts, quarters, etc..

    I was under the impression that BO took sharp action, but maybe in game wagering is different? My pre games limits seem to be the same as before. Customer service rep confirmed that someone did cut the limits just for my account. Was going to reach out to some of the BO guys on twitter to see why this happened, but just curious if it's a lost cause.

    Also I have a sportsbetting account, but it's the exact same company right? So probably shouldn't try to circumvent their decision?

    Thanks for any insights!

    BOL will definitely limit in certain markets. I'm not positive about live betting but that is definitely one of the areas where most sportsbooks limit quickly, so I wouldn't be surprised.

    I noticed my live limits were recently cut. Seemed to be half what they used to be (like 1000 on nba side when it used to be 2500?) and I haven't placed more than maybe 3? live bets in the last 9 months there and none anywhere near my max.

    You can but I would assume the same will happen there pretty fast.

    Either due to you already being known to live betting traders, or that your style is too good for them.


    People keep mentioning how good bovada is for live in recent months.

    I think Bovada is only good for live betting if you show that you're reasonably incompetent as a live bettor. I was limited there after a few months. And I was placing bets that were well beneath their stated lines for live betting.

    Maybe it is hit n miss who they limit. Heard stories from more than one person I trust about them winning decent amounts consistently, not being badly limited live and still being given bonuses.

    if you're winning then the timer will make it almost unbettable... and then they cancelled a couple live bets of mine that were placed at decent prices after a long timer. not a lot of fun seeing a $1000 bet at +120 get cancelled when it's now -600 a half hour later

    i love bol/sbag but be careful with live betting there, live betting went from A+ to F a couple years ago there

    Yeah I've had 1-3k bets cancelled on BO, and have been on a short timer, but because of high limits and number of games it was still an ok option up until this weekend. Especially for college hoops, they have every game vs bookmaker which only offers live betting on the marquee NCAAB matchups.

    Live betting is the one place that domestic books crush overseas. Besides Bovada, any other non US books I might be overlooking that have decent live betting options and limits?

    Have done heritage before, but very high juice on live betting and $500 max bets made it almost worthless. Currently down to bookmaker and my asian brokerage ps3838 accounts.

    if you need limits of more than 500 then i can't think of any books that would be good for live betting... i'm at 250 at heritage so you're already better off, but as you said their juice is silly

    Heritage is $1k for me. Jazz has the same platform and I get $500 max there so if I want to go than $1k, I’ll use them, too.
