Hi I live in UK and I am trying to find my way out of this jungle like everybody else.
My betting accounts are in GBP.
I don’t have more accounts with the same bookie.
Simply, I don’t do anything doggy.
I signed up to BetCris not even three weeks ago.
Since then I placed these bets (MLB, NFL, NCAAF):

As you can see I wasn’t wagering any surebets or against my original bets or this kind of staff.
I was just lucky and it happened that I won most of mine wagers so I almost tripled the original deposit amount.
I was betting 100GBP in average. Biggest bet was 220GBP. Overall, I made profit around 1700GBP.
Than this Monday I tried to bet there on NFL’s Detroit Lions ML and I got gobsmacked.
Betcris didn’t allow me to place bet and showed my this message:
Max Wager Online Exceeded. Your Current Wager Limit is 25.00 GBP.
I checked my email and there I found this:
Dear Customer:
Please be advised that you have been removed from the Loyalty Program by Management as of this date: 10/11/2010.
Our loyalty program is a point based reward system. Every time you place a bet you earn Betpoints that you can redeem in exchange for diverse rewards. This program was intended for recreational players only. You have been removed from it because you are not considered a recreational player.
Last try I made thorough livechat and history of it is here:
CS Charlie: Welcome, nice to have you with us today . . . I’m happy to assist you . . .
you: good morning.
CS Charlie: hi
CS Charlie: How may I assist you today?
you: I'd like to know how is possible that i cant bet even 20 pounds on NFL money line today as your house limits is more than 3000 pounds?
CS Charlie: Are you receiving any error message?
you: yes
you: Max Wager Online Exceeded. Your Current Wager Limit is 25.00 GBP.
you: i wanted to play detroit in NFL for 20
CS Charlie: To assist you as efficiently as possible, may I have your account number please?
you: KOKOTCRIS
CS Charlie: may I have the line you are betting please
you: * NFL[219] DETROIT * 5.25
CS Charlie: thank you, one moment please
CS Charlie: can you verify the security question? what is my nickname?
you: KOKOTCRIS
CS Charlie: Thank you for the information...
CS Charlie: Thank you for waiting, according to the notes you have on the account as per management the limit has been adjusted to a Min of 1GBP, Max of 25GBP
you: well, i can see that, but what is the reason to do so?
CS Charlie: I'm afraid you are consider a non recreational player....
you: i won couple of bets but i wasnt doing anything doggy
CS Charlie: My apologies for the inconvenience....
CS Charlie: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
you: no thanx
CS Charlie: You're welcome... it's my pleasure.
So I got limited and its pretty disappointing.
And I still can see my Betpoints but website is not allowing me to get into the screen where you can cash it in.
After this experience I think Betcris don’t deserve to stay with a status of a professional bookie.
Have you got the similar experience with them?
Or can somebody give me an advice what have I done wrong?
