Date: January 17th, 2018 9:04 PM Author: Lake diverse feces patrolman i bet $200 on the super bowl 2 years ago, and $100 last year from some site (used betonline.ag) for kicks. i won both times, but it won't let me cash out ANYTHING, i think because i accepted some bonus.
apparently i have to "roll over" my deposit amount like ten times in order to cash out. does that really mean i have to make 10 more wagers before i can cash out ANYTHING? wtf?
does anyone use these sites? did i just fuck up accepting the "bonus" money? |
Date: January 20th, 2018 12:51 PM Author: Haunting shrine Legal bookmakers like the ones in the UK force you to turn over or "rollover" your deposit once because deposits are (mostly) paid via debit or credit card and there are merchant fees associated with this. Its the same with withdrawing. They're sort of covering their asses so people don't hammer them with merchant fees. You can technically withdraw a deposit you didn't rollover but they will make you pay their merchant costs upon withdrawal. Its fair.
Bookies want you to play your deposit over once because a completely average player will lose about 5% of their deposit per time its rolled and 1 times rollover is enough for them to protect themselves from merchant fee abuse.
Betonline and other US-facing bookmakers are unlicensed and you probably got snared into a "Deposit bonus" where you have to bet 10 times the amount you deposited+bonus in order to release this money. That is what you get for not reading the obfuscated T&C's. In the UK, deposit bonuses at most have to be turned over up to 3 times, and even if this is the case, they're extremely generous bonuses, I think it was up to a £200 matched deposit with bet365.
A telltale sign you're betting with an unlicensed bookmaker is to check your page URL. If it ends with .com, the USA has jurisdiction to seize the offending domain name. Your dodgy bookie bypasses that by ending with .ag. You should do your homework next time and register accounts under a Canadian address. Surely you know some relative that lives there? |

rolling over once or twice made sense to me, but 10 times just seems like a scam. whats worse is that it applies to the entire deposit i made not just the "bonus" they gave me. ill just treat this money as gone. |
