    Heritage - Bait & Switch?
    I only see positive comments on here about hertiage, and yes heritage is great. I just feel a little misled on something that happened to me recently. I thought this book was great because they didn't treat their customers like a # and would work with you. Anyway - here is what happened.

    A few weeks ago I contacted live chat support to make a deposit, they told me that I was eligible for this promotion where after a certain # of deposits with no withdraws you get a free deposit. The free deposit was the equivalent of my lowest deposit of the last 5 consecutive. I was over the moon to say the least and figured this must be one of the great things people always talk about with heritage. I took the promotion, obviously. I subsequently lost the promotion. A couple of deposits later i took a very small withdrawel. Probably somethign close to 5% of the money I lost to heritage over the course of the story I am telling.

    So... I started a new string of deposits with no withdraw (yes, I know I suck, but that's not the point of this thread). After the first couple I would have toned down my deposit amounts, but I thought hey what the hell, I should keep my deposits at least as high as the first couple, because I want to get the free deposit at the max amount (not at my smallest deposit amount). After I subsequently lost those deposits I requested the free deposit, and was told it was a "football only promotion". This was never mentioned to me in the chat, even though the promotion was a couple days from being over at the time I was priveyed to the information about the promotion. I also almost solely bet basketball, so it didn't occur to me I would only get the promotion for football?

    The point is my deposit behavior after my first couple of lost deposits was solely based on the expectation of the free deposit. Being a new client there, and not being told it was a football only promotion, I assumed it was one of the ongoing perks of being at Heritage and sucking ass like I was.

    I explained this all to them, and they wouldn't do shit for me. I feel very misled, and a little disapointed. i won't be leaving them, because they are still the best for Americans, but that doesn't mean I don't feel a little shafted.

    Any thoughts? Think I should pursue this any furthur, do I have a leg to stand on? I don't feel like anyone is really at fault here and it is a unfortunate circumstance. I just figured heritage was a customer friendly book, and would work with me, since they unknowingly misled their customer. And not just any customer, a customer who has been handing over his paychecks to them for a couple of weeks.

    It reminds me of when I was 16 an experience I had with Verizon Wireless. I was on a 400 text message plan for 3.99 / month 10cent/text after that. I was called one afternoon and sold a new promotion for "unlimited texts" for 4.99/month. Was never told it was only a 3 month deal. After 3 months I got a cell phone bill for like 200 dollars. Not only did the unlimited plan cancel unexpectadly, but instead of reverting me back to my old plan, they had me on no plan and I was paying 15 cents / text. Classic bait and switch.

    If the "football only" element is stated in the written terms and conditions then no, you don't have any case.

      The clerk forward my issue to the management, and I just got an e-mail that they were crediting my account for the free deposit bonus, because we had clarification issues on the terms of the bonus. Another Heritage success story. ::foot in mouth::

              Yeah, I've never had any problems with them. Just wish they offered some better deposit options. No way to quickly deposit without going out to **.

                Glad they took care of you. Your response to that situation seemed very reasonable.

                              I didn't come to the forum to throw them under the bus or anything. Just get input on what you guys thought. Figured that's what this forum was. If anything this thread, will just prove once again, that they are a great book.

                              On that note they might be regretting that free deposit. I went 9-1 last night, including 7-0 in the NBA... hitting a 4 team parley and a 2 team parley. Maybe my luck is turning around?

                                They make it right even when the customer isn't 100% correct, usually. Great book.

                                    my deposits with them turn to dust. the free plays i get from them turn to dust. the rollover bonus money i get from them turns to dust. just have no luck with this book. good book but not lucky there. tired of depositing and never and i mean never cashing out.

                                          They booted me for being a winner or only betting 2nd halves..as one guy mentioned earlier they are great for losers. Try to win a little and they will show you the door.

                                            As will any Book. You were a one-trick pony and they didn't like it. Bottom line is they paid you.

                                            BTW, cutting your limits to $500 straights/$250 halves is not exactly "getting the boot" .

                                                Then you should have mixed a few straight bets in with your exclusive HT bets. You beat them on soft HT lines, and got paid, and still bitch that they won't allow you to keep pounding them. Can't believe you blame Heritage--you'd still be betting there and beating them if you had a clue. No one to blame but yourself IMO.

                                                  Just so you know I have not been paid yet inexplicably and this Monday will be three weeks from the time I requested a wire. Somehow after giving them my info at least 3 times they managed to somehow screw up the info and subsequently it got rejected. So now I wait for the 2nd wire try and hopefully this does go through but to their credit after arguing that because of the delay in the wire they should credit me the $120 in fees and at first rejecting my request they granted it but still have not received anything as of yet.

                                                    Just so you know I have not been paid yet inexplicably and this Monday will be three weeks from the time I requested a wire. Somehow after giving them my info at least 3 times they managed to somehow screw up the info and subsequently it got rejected. So now I wait for the 2nd wire try and hopefully this does go through but to their credit after arguing that because of the delay in the wire they should credit me the $120 in fees and at first rejecting my request they granted it but still have not received anything as of yet.
                                                    Fair enough; I understand why you're upset. I agree they should credit you for the wire fees when they do actually send it. Insist on it or file a complaint here if they don't. Regardless, I fully believe you'll get paid.

                                                      Ya dont deposit at heritage and try to win their money by making good bets jackass, this violates rule #1 in their T&C, you're lucky you got paid, when you're ready to lose they've got some incredibly bad lines you can bet whatever you want on

                                                      Try some 30 cent quarter bets or 40 cent prop bets, if you pick 60% you can break even

                                                      Did I mention heritage's casino is open 24/7 for your enjoyment
