I made a $300 deposit at BetOnline tonight to play some poker and immediately checked my sportsbook balance and saw $600 in the account. I checked my emails and yes they had charged me two $300 transactions-12 seconds apart.
I went on Live Chat and after an eternity, they agreed to credit back the 2nd $300 charge but it would be 7 business days even though the original charge took 12 seconds. So i asked them what they would do for me for the inconvenience and they said nothing.
After double-charging me and making me go through an eternity on live chat to get it fixed, I decided to get the original charge refunded as well. The whole process took 1.5 hours on live chat. Here is the log and I will post when I received the credits back to my CC account. I don't feel comfortable playing where the customer service is this bad.
