    betonline- CHARGING $100 MINIMUM TO TRASNFER TO 5DIMES/THEGREEK
    AND TO 5DIMES IT IS 1000 MAX. WHAT A JOKE. THAT IS ROBBING THEIR CUSTOMERS BLIND.

    Sophia: · $500 to $4,999 = $100
    Sophia: · $5,000 to $9,999 = $200
    Sophia: · $10,000 and up = $300
    Sophia: I;m sorry, it's $9000.00 the max and fees $200.00

          Does that mean BetOnline should be A++ then?

            This is pathetic considering their other payout options, no wire and max check of $2500. Considering the limits they offer how do bigger players get money out of there?

              That's ridiculous. Was considering playing there because they offered book to book, but nevermind.

                  Impossible to get large sums of money off of this site they take $25,000+ deposits but you can only withdrawal a max of $2,500 at a time . With likely processor issues to come in the near future books should be promoting b2b transfers not adding fees and limits.

                  Every time BOL starts to head in a positive direction they suddenly steer off course

                    I echo the sentiments already expressed in this thread. Hopefully BOL will reconsider these fees.

                              Are these fees newly implemented? For some reason when I signed up with BOL, I remember a customer support telling me book to book transfer are free. I may be wrong though.

                                Automatic boycott when a book gouges like this.

                                They probably know which way the money will mostly flow, and not in their direction, but there has to be a more reasonable way to go about things.

                                  I think that is there nice way of saying we don't do book to book.

                                    At least part of the reason that money doesn't flow in their direction is because it's easy to deposit at betonline but it's impossible to withdraw.

                                    I personally ran up a balance there this winter and was able to transfer to greek/bookmaker, rollover there a few times and then withdraw with no problem.

                                    I like betonline, they've stepped it up but this is a mistake right now with the processor problems. If they would add some way to withdraw over $2500 at a time then I'm fine with the book to book fee, fine with me.

                                        Maybe certain players are charged more than others?Maybe they are discouraging certain kinds of action? Just a thought.

                                            A book having to clear things up repeatedly does not bode well imo..the data flow process should be in place without needing intervention.

                                              this is the reason i cashed out of bookmaker years ago. just do not want to play where the fees are this bad. too bad, seems like a good book. except for withdrawal stupidity.

                                                Just take a withdrawal and put the money in yourself.

                                                    i did email alex and his main defense was "bookmaker does it and they are a+++". i just dont like the sound of it at all. first off i dont play at bookmaker, i play at betonline. and 2 wrongs dont make a right. the fact that they are doing this seems to be proof that they are looking to profit on withdrawals as opposed to just passing on the costs to their customers. there is a big differnce. i wonder how much they profit on each check they cut (charge is 50). ill give thegreek/5dimes/legends the benifit of the doubt that they are just charging me to cover their costs. betonline does not get the benifit of the doubt with me in this regard anymore.

                                                    before they offered b2b transfers i was hesitant to keep a large balance there, and i am back in the same boat once again.in these times, book to book transfers should be great for both the player and book. i think this is very bad business.

                                                    side note, i wonder what is up with the 1k limit to 5dimes.

                                                                    i can see it being a courtesy for players and while rollover can add up, thats fair. it is no longer a courtesy when you charge 100 or 200 dollars a pop. 100 dollar fee and 1000 max on transfers to 5dimes? a courtesy? that sounds much more like a screwjob that a courtesy to me.

                                                                    this just shows they dont care about their customers. they cant send checks in a reasonable amount of time like other books and had only 1 solid way to withdraw. book to book transfer. they took that away by adding an unrealistic fee for a service that almost all the top books provide for free.
