BetED extreme limits

HedgeHog · 06-03-10, 07:29 AM

I was limited by them too ($10 for me), but just after I completed my rollover. So I left. You'll need to make those 300 $1 bets to satisfy the RO and then you can cashout. BetEd has a quick trigger, but I guess that's their right.

What a joke, if you are not chasing steam this is just horrible, how can anyone ever win and not get limited.

Hi

I recently joined BetEd taking their 100% promo. I placed a few bets building my account to $1800. I still have about $300 left of bonus rollover. I received a message when I logged in this morning to find my account has been limited to just $1. Leaving me with having to place over 300 bets to enable me to withdraw my funds.

I have asked nicely about whether they could lift it to a sensible amount but they state that the decision is final.

I do not believe that I have done anything wrong, I haven't hit steam bets, nor have I created a duplicate account.

Are there any options that I have available to me, other than forcing me to make 300 $1 bets.

Thanks in advance.

Michael

Fill out a complaint. This is retarded.

Thanks for your help. They have not once warned me that I was hitting steam lines, still I have placed three bets, so even if I was hitting a dodgy line (which i am sure I wasn't) it still doesn't give them the right to limit me without explanation.

Justin - Thank you, I will file a complaint.

Take immediate action. I'd seriously consider contacting SBR on the matter, or file a complaint. Here's the Link: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/Spor...Complaint.aspx . Don't allow them to skim from you. Best of Luck.

mbynwa · 06-03-10, 08:29 AM

Thanks Robert, I have submitted a complaint, hopefully SBR will be able to at least get them to see some sense with regards to limits.

I don't know why anyone here at SBR would play with them after all the complaints about them! They will do anything to take your money!

$1 max? If they do that they should not require any further rollover! If they do, just quickly put 100 bets in and hope you go close to 50% and get your money and run!

Putting in 300 bets using their terrible software might not even be worth your balance. Raise hell.

rm18 · 06-03-10, 10:46 AM

weird how it varies, i was cut to $100, then to $25, then banned, but they let me make some good money

mbynwa · 06-03-10, 11:45 AM

Well just to update after being in contact with Justin who emailed on my behalf they have agreed to send my funds minus the bonus. Still it is unfair but it is better than the alternative. Will update as and when i actually receive my funds.

durito · 06-03-10, 12:35 PM

That's not fair either.

They should be C-.

donkdown · 06-03-10, 01:17 PM

what a shit book.. Ask them about all the poker money they stole when they were part of Pitbull poker network..

RickySteve · 06-03-10, 01:39 PM

How much did you deposit? Coin flipping 300 $1 bets has to be much better than losing your bonus.

skrtelfan · 06-03-10, 02:21 PM

Yeah stealing your bonus is crap. I'd just make 300 random bets, if they don't budge but if SBR intervenes they should either restore your limits, pay your bonus without making you finish the rollover, or get downgraded. BetED doesn't advertise here so a downgrade shouldn't be an issue.

Dark Horse · 06-03-10, 03:40 PM

Agree with RickySteve. Add 300 $1 bets, on both sides if necessary, and get the hell out of this 'book'.

2Bdown · 06-03-10, 10:43 PM

150 games. $1 on each side of each game. You should only be down the juice. $15 bucks or so. Then run like hell from this shitt book.

Exactly my thinking when I advised the OP to make the 300 $1 bets and get out. For about $15 in juice, he would've saved his bonus. He did exactlly what BetEd wanted, pissing away his bonus money unnecessarily. Dumb move!

samitarian · 06-04-10, 07:29 AM

if bookies allowed backing both sides to clear bonus they would all be bankrupt

davidchong · 06-04-10, 07:51 AM

bet on under for 300 games from now... will took maybe one week. >D

Dark Horse · 06-04-10, 07:52 AM

When a book limits a player before rollover is cleared, that should automatically cancel any remaining rollover requirement.

Just the opposite is true. Most Books welcome the offsetting action because they make the vig. Fact is the RO figure (5x,10x or whatever) is made with intention of making more in vig than the bonus they gave you.

HeeeHAWWWW · 06-04-10, 01:32 PM

Yeah, definitely don't back both sides, they'll accuse you of bonus abuse. Just spam bet everything in sight, 300 x $1 bets, all separate events, you'll lose maybe $15 or so (what's their average juice?), and cash out.

Winner_13 · 06-04-10, 04:21 PM

bonus was too good to be true

goblue12 · 06-04-10, 09:55 PM

I got limited today at BetEd to $1.

Fortunately I didn't have a bonus and can withdraw as soon as the paperwork is in order.

Or at the very least,they should give you the % of what you already did.
If they don't i also would make 300 bets.Take evey dog and under,in baseball,Wnba.Whatever
What a joke book

HedgeHog · 06-04-10, 10:49 PM

Mbynwa got screwed by asking for help from SBR. As much as I respect Justin, his "help" cost the OP his bonus. Common sense dictates completing the rollover--even if it means betting $1 @ 300 times. This was a win for BetEd and a loss for SBR, and more importantly the OP took it up the ass. Congrats on the payout, but you paid big time for it--hopefully vaseline was included.

Doug · 06-04-10, 10:55 PM

sounds like a place that would limit you to $1.......and have a $5 minimum bet

Beted's position was his account was closed before SBR got involved.

This dispute is far from over.

BetED is an A+ book as long as you lose.

If you win, they will find any excuse they possibly can to stiff you out of your winnings.

After reading all the different stories about the B.S. Bet Ed pulled, you'd have to be crazy to open up an account with them.

So then BetEd is using $1 limits to claim an account is closed, but not actually closing the account? ... waiting for the player to ask the account to be closed, whilst not expecting the player to try and complete the rollover? Poor move on their part, and sounds little more than bonus theft.

I got limited to $25 there back in January, just after I had reloaded for a bonus offer they e-mailed me. Before the deposit, I had limits I'd never hit ($770 on some lines, $2,200 on others). Completed $10k of rollover on $25 max bets. Took nearly 4 months, probably wasn't worth my time, but I was pi$$ed that they'd solicited a deposit and then made it very, very hard to get the $$ out. Bait and switch at its finest.

creed · 06-05-10, 02:25 AM

Talk about slow play what other form treats this shit book Golden

Justin7 · 06-05-10, 01:38 PM

Actually, I must correct myself. Beted didn't close the account, but they revoked the bonus when his limits were dropped. I'm still waiting for Beted's explanation for seizing 100% of the bonus with out pro-rating it.

If they pro-rated the bonus based on rollover met, they would be in the clear. But it looks like they just grabbed all of it, and said "mine!"

rm18 · 06-05-10, 02:39 PM

put in a $1 15 teamer and hit them up for 15k
