    Beware of legends bonus offers

    Hi

    Back in may I joined Legends sportsbook, my friend had told me they have some decent prices, and I could see that SBR had them rated as an A+ book. I received a $500 bonus on the understanding that I would need to wager $21000 before I could make a withdrawal. Last week I finally met the required rollover and my account was up, I requested a withdrawal which they said would be no problem. The next day I got up to an email telling me they had taken back the $500 bonus they had given me and cancelled my withdrawal. It turns out that at some point I had been round my friends house and logged into my account using his computer to put a bet on, and at some point my friend had previously had an account with them. Anyway this is a cheap tactic used by poor bookmakers to nick a quick $500. I mean they had been happy to take my wagers for over 4 months without saying anything about this supposed login to another computer. You are havin a beer watching the game with ya mates and you fancy a bet on it, well dont, I know it ridiculous. Ive been betting online for over ten years and never experienced anything like this, Ive put bets on in cafes, hotels, friends houses, anywhere I like I mean isnt that what they want you to do, bet with them. Anyhow I definately do not consider this outfit an A+ rated book, they must be paying SBR some top dollar. Ive obviously finished with them and wont be going back Id just like warn punters dont join them on the basis of receiving a fancy bonus, as its pretend money, ie not real.

    All the best

    Call them first, explain what happened. If that doesn't happen, file a complaint. If that is the only instance of IP sharing, I think they will pay you. If there's more sharing than you're admitting though, it gets complicated.

    Legends tried to do this to me too, because I had an account at sister book The Pig. I threatened to file a complaint with SBR and they reinstated my bonus money. They cut my limits in half, but I was still able to complete my RO. Now I'm in the process of cashing out. GL.

    Ive filed a complaint with SBR but I dont expect to get my money back, Id just like to let people know that this bookie can offer fancy bonuses, it doesnt mean you will actually get them.
