so many rules...can only bet +125 on spreads, 250 limit per game etc.
Besides hockey, it wont let me bet it on anything else moneyline spread wise?
Is there any other sport moneyline up to +125?
Ties are a loss, simply a total joke.
So if you bet lets say a spread or total, and pushes, you lose your freeplay. Fcuking dixx.

[Crusherrr]

They only limit for NHL and baseball to $250 and it only counts towards 50% of rollover too. Obviously you shouldn't bet spreads unless its a half point.

The +125 is good for golf and UFC, too.

[DISTROYA]

Thx Crush, at least a little more option wise. And these dicks purposely make most lines just over +125 to disallow the freeplay.

[pimike]

[wisky]

The casino bonus rollover is insane.

My freeplay bet pushed and the freeplay was refunded. Why are you lying?

[ace7550]

Some pushes get refunded and some don't. For example, if a golf match up ties it will be refunded. But if a hockey over/under pushes it will not get refunded.

I think a lot of the lines are just over +125 because so many people are betting their freeplay on those lines. The lines get hammered with freeplay until they get pushed just past +125. Then freeplay can no longer be bet on them.

A void is not the same as a push. A push is a loss while a void gets refunded for free plays.

[themike78]

I don't see this anywhere in the rules. I had nyy in baseball for freeplay. The game tied and they refunded my freeplay. I would assume all pushes are refunded. No?

[themike78]

I played nyy the game ended in a tie. Is that not a push? I got my freeplay refunded. A void is if the game got cancelled. My point is betonline does not take the freeplay away on a push. Maybe my account has different rules. I don't know.

[KS1986]

This is from their free play rules section on their website:

8. Free Plays lose when a push or tie results.

This has been their rule for over a decade.

A few years ago, I called and complained about this. After 10 minutes of argument, the agent said "Let me talk to a manager". Comes back and says "We'll refund you the freeplay this time, but going forward this is our rule". A couple weeks later, they banned my state.

Anytime you run into a BS rule, always complain. Politely but firmly. Many times they will fold if you put up enough of an argument. Don't curse, don't insult, "I understand, but that isn't industry standard".

Good advice.

But Freeplays not paying any winnings for a tie/push is the traditional industry standard among offshore books.

And it does make logical sense. Freeplays only pay out winnings, not the stake. There was no winnings from the bet chosen in a push situation.

and your stake is returned. Freeplay is the stake in this case.

Don't know if it was actually industry standard. Only ever had freeplay at Betphoenix family and betonline family.

Doesn't really matter. Normally, having a calm, polite but firm conversation works. What do you have to lose.

[Optional]

I agree with having the polite conversation when you do not like a rule. And see quite often how being reasonable is rewarded even when wrong.


But as you say the freeplay is the stake, which is not returned at bet settlement for freeplays. So if you choose to bet a line that pushes, then it really is logical that the stake is not returned same as always.

I do understand that many people do not like or understand this rule the first time they are unexpectedly affected by it. But it's a rule that has always been there forever offshore and really it's just a case of you not expecting it, not an unfair or illogical rule as the OP is saying or you are saying it is not industry standard.

My freeplay bet pushed and the freeplay was refunded. Why are you lying?

I simply stated this because its listed in their freeplay rules that pushes/ties LOSE freeplay amount (as stated and shown by poster KS1986. Now if they treat you (and others) differently and refund thats great youre one of the privileged. I would never take that chance though.
