They set my limit to $135 per side, what kind of book is this? What a complete joke!
I'll be cashing out tomorrow and playing somewhere with real limits.

They said I can only bet 50% of my initial deposit per wager if I did not accept a bonus. That's some bush league rules. I've played at over 50 books and never seen this rule.

I have heard this if you ACCEPT a bonus but not if you dont. Mickey Mouse if you ask me. I played there a year or two ago , won, and they paid me within a week. I never looked back or even thought of playing with them again because something just didnt feel right. Maybe it was the ******** cards they were pushing.

They will raise your limits after you been with them for a little bit. I guess they dont like new members coming in firing hard.
Besides the 50% bet limit when your new its not a bad site and they do payout with no probs.

agree, the limits low, but look at this from the book perspective:
If you allowed players to risk 100% of their deposit on risk amounts, the player would be basically getting a free shot at you..win, they can cash out immediately (next day payout at no cost), lose player gets 25% with no roll or 50% with 6x roll.
I'd agree you had a valid gripe if this was not VERY prominently posted in their rules and when depositing. As it stands, feel you brought alot of this on yourself.
RebateWager clearly is a recreational shop..if your looking to bet big, there are clearly better shops out there. I understand you likely wanted to just test them with a $250 deposit, but such a short stay really is not going to give you the full experience. I use them and like the service...offer very nice pricing on big money fave's on ml's and sometimes beat the market by a half point in football on heavy chalk fave's.
To each their own..but as far as "real" limits..the max you could have bet was $270 initially, what size of action were you looking for ? The limits issue would be a moot point if your first bet lost.

I forgot about the "rebate insurance". Duh. When I signed up years ago I was offered a match or a rebate. I told them the match because I don't plan on losing. I did so well that there was never a chance I would ever get a rebate unless I deposited and lost over 5k after my withdrawal.

RebateWager(SBR Rated B) is a well known recreational type book so I can't say the low limits surprise me at all.

Well, I turned $270 into $700ish so I'll yank it out tomorrow and take the wife out somewhere nice. I'm not what you call a high roller but a $135 bet don't get me too excited, either. I make a shit ton of money but got a shit ton of bills so gambling usually takes a back seat. I have a few other outs I use so not a big deal, just like to explore other options.
At-least they got a good track record of paying. They obviously know I got a track record of hitting around 63% on NFL sides.

Thanks, just filled out the application. I did click on the banner at the top of the forum when I joined and posted $270. I should fit that criteria for Pro Membership.

Orangekat,
Sorry you feel the way you do about our limits hopefully our quick and simple payout process will be to your liking. For everyone else our house limits and rules can be found under the limits section under Everything You Need to Know.

For new members selecting our standard rebate the max wager amount is 50% of your initial deposit not to exceed $500.00 or posted limits.

For new members selecting our first time 50% rebate or free play bonuses the max wager limit for MLB will be $500 and for all other sports it will be equal to our posted limits.
For members requiring limits from $2,500.00 to $10,000.00 an event contact a host for info on our VIP book bet25back.

BuckeyeT, probably they don't want to offer early +EV lines. I can't consider any different thing. Bullshit! that is a B+ book also a sponsor book, I made my first deposit last sunday, how can I guess this situation? I'll take my money after rollover and never come back.

Do a search on here and read, I'm sure someone else has bitched about them putting up totals late. They are a rec book with their own method but it's not like it's something new for them.

I checked the complaints but didn't see...naturally I focus in payout problems if I try a new book. How can I guess this? Trust me Euro books (almost nobody takes College football bet in europe) opened total lines earlier.
whatever I'll complete my rollover and I leave this book. but just curious why SBR gives B+ raiting to these moron sluggish books. who are happy with these books?

I'm happy, I do this for recreation and RBW pays, I can live with some of the stricter rules because honestly it makes me feel safer with my money that they aren't going to get taken by a one shot wonder.

It's called a charge back big daddy. All sportsbooks share lists of scammers that charge back.
