    So these BetOnline terms are scary
    I received an email about a $25 freeplay. I signed up with BetOnline for an sbr contest but never deposited. I get to reading the fine print and these lines are pretty disturbing:

    1. BetOnline reserves the right to deny or cancel bonuses to players whose wagering record indicates they are making "Wise Guy" or "Steam" moves. BetOnline reserves the right to cancel bonuses and/or funds won with said bonuses if management determines a player to be Non-recreational or part of a syndicate. Bonuses are intended for recreational players only. Decisions to cancel "wise guy" action are entirely up to the discretion of BetOnline, with no exceptions.
    2. BetOnline reserves the right to alter or amend the terms and conditions of this promotion without notice.


    While I don't chase steam, to determine someone as a "non rec" player would just be anyone who ran good or just won money. Also #2 where they can alter or amend any conditions without notice. Does anyone play at this book and what is your experience. This leaves the door open for anything they could offer, and could justify by these very terms.

      I once had an account there but not for long
      They didn't cheat me but made it just a waste of time to maintain it by reducing my limits to chickenfeed.
      I wouldn't knowingly accept those rules.

                Lots of books have rules like that. It is fairly standard from what I have seen. Not many books welcome/tolerate steam play for long.

                It is the application of the rules that can become an issue. BOL has been more than fair with me.

                    They might kick you out, but they will pay you.
