    Question to those who get booted from a sportsbook?

    I know people who get booted from the sportsbooks usually is because they are big winners or if they are betting on steam plays etc. And to sharpcat.... yes i know this does not apply to me since i'm a loser overall in sportsbetting but just want to know this for one reason.

    Reason is i had wished i did a book to book transfer from matchbook to 5dimes or greek/betjamaica etc but since i didn't, i have to withdraw that money and getting money online is a huge pain.

    I will ONLY play at A or A+ books and wished i had pulled my money out of matchy earlier and now i don't really have enough money online to bet at since i only have money on 5dimes and bodog at the moment.

    To those of you who got booted from 5dimes, BetJamaica or any of those A books, are you allowed to transfer that money and do a b2b transfer? I hear people say recreational players play at betjamaica and if you win too much, you will get collared or booted and then they will send you to the greek. Well, does that mean you have to withdraw that money first from your betjamaica account and then deposit back into the greek with whatever method there is? Or are you allowed to transfer your balance to thegreek?

    I hear bookmaker/thegreek will almost never boot a player so the only A books that comes to my mind that people say will limit/boot you are 5dimes and betjamaica and these 2 books allow b2b transfer. I read bodog can boot you also but since they don't have b2b transfers, no point in talking about them because you will get your money but can't move it to another book.

    Anyone? And if yes, are you allow to say transfer it into 2-3 different books instead of just one? Did you have that option?

    If a book offers B2B as a withdrawal option than of course they would let you transfer your funds to another book if they decided they no longer wanted to take your action.

    I think you may be a little confused with the MB situation the reason they will not let you do a book transfer is because the attorneys for the new ownership feel that it may be a violation of US law which they clearly want no parts of, hence the departure from the US market as soon as the ownership was transfered. This is a completely different circumstance than if a book decided they no longer wanted to take your action since they still offer B2B to their customers, in your case MB is no longer offering B2B to any US player in fear of violating US law.

    Yes when Pinnacle left the US market they offered B2B but MB is not Pinnacle and there is no proper procedure to follow, each book will handle it however they see best.

    What ifs? and what would _____ do? or Pinnacle did this!!! is not going to help the situation with MB. Your best course of action if you feel you have been wronged would be to file an SBR complaint. Although this will probably not do you any justice either as MB has not officially done anything wrong at this point.
