Betonline - Anyone receive their free bottle of Dom P yet ?

[djefferis]

So I took advantage of their generous offer of deposit a dime, receive a free bottle of Dom P..turned down the bonus and they agreed to honor with a 1x RO of funds.

Havent received anything yet, so contacted them..they promised a follow up with the person handling this. No reply, so e-mailed again today and got this "We really appreciate your businness but what happens is that we had to go through some legal issues because in certain states we can not ship alcoholic beverages"

Amazing..an offshore sportsbook is concerned with meeting legal regulations on the shipment of booze (which is restricted in certain states I understand and 100% agree). The thing I am confused about is, last time I checked online bookmaking was prohibited in EVERY state. Seems they are very specific in which laws they are willing to overlook (those that they can profit from) and which they will obey (those that cost them money).

I am still happy with these guys and has been a very profitable experience. They have paid within hours on each payout request via book 2 book and added new shops recently which just makes them all the more attractive. Just curious as to if anyone ever did receive their free booze.

good to hear, like i said..I like BO, but seems to be some hiccups in their cs from time to time (like most any book)

My guess is they are using a US distributor for the alcohol who refuses to ship to certain states, rather than B/O being concerned with the legal issues themselves.

worried about state laws?

who cares about the federal ones though!

Exactly my point..I understand that they are likely using a service here in the US to send product, and are not doing it themselves directly. BUT, knowing up front there are states where this is not going to be possible, why not have a backup plan for those customers (either a local agent sending product, or advising those customers up front they would not receive the free bottle but instead a gift card or free cash to their accounts of a similar value).

Liked BO, but a few things making me think it's time to move on there..explanations like this just leave me scratching my head.
