Honestly guys, I'm not sure if it was a poker or sportsbook bonus. All I know is I don't remember what they were. I'm sure it was some reload bonus free play thing that I just said, "Yeah sure" and put in some promo code. Except my issue is my deposits were about 4 or 5 over a years time at $100 a pop. So when I spoke to them on the phone, I asked who in their right mind would agree to a bonus that would somehow equate to $6000 + in sports wagers? On such a low deposit?

I'm a recreational player. I deposit a hundy here or there to keep me occupied to mess with some SNGs and stuff. But in my recreation, I somehow ground up to about $5K. That's not a lot to many of you, but it is to me and I was excited to have some extra $ around for Christmas and such. This is a huge letdown and I'm really pissed about it. But it seems like I'm stuck here. Since my original message from this morning I ground out another $800 of money I'm just staring at

dont do anything rash. first off, find out EXACTLY the amount of rollover you have to get to. write it down. ask specifically what games you can wager on that will count toward the rollover. to me, it sounds like you still need to rollover around $4k. thats not the end of the world. if you are allowed to rollover in the casino, you could put in your roll, and play $25 or so on 2 spots and just grind it out. you might lose it all, you might win, but you will clear the rollover pretty quick, and you might just break even. alternately, you could lower the wager to around $10, but it would take a long time. you can get an optimal strategy guide anywhere online. if you can only rollover in the book, do some research and spread over multiple games and multiple weeks (imo). you will win some/lose some/hopefully break even. it will take a bit, but after you will be able to cashout.

moral: do your research prior to USING ANY BONUS CODE!

Duly noted MAHPs

I emailed them this morning to clarify what EXACTLY I needed to do as you suggested. I just got this email back - am I reading this correctly??

Subject: Rollover requirements

Hi Marc.

This is ******** from player services and I hope you are doing great.

In regards to the previous e-mail, be advised that your rollover has been adjusted accordingly.

At this point, the current amount to be complied ($2025.00) is only based on the last freeplay bonus you received. The action you have made so far is $1858.88 so it is only missing an action of $166.12 in order to comply with it.

Keep in mind that is the minimum amount on a bet the one that goes towards to the rollover.

If you have any other questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I apologize for the inconveniences and have a nice day!

Best Regards,

this is the only thing i dont understand at all.

it would appear that you only have to make $166 more of wagers to comply, however what specific sections count is still not clear (ie poker/book/casino). the other thing i always fear with this stuff is that cs is incompetent, and doesnt understand their own systems. if youre really jonesing to cashout, i would play blackjack or sportsbook for the exact amount, and then try again. another thing to remember: if the cashout still doesnt go thru instantly, it could be that the system takes time to "update" with your rollover.

its a messy situation, and if they have this provision they should damn well tell players when they deposit, AND in addition should have a tracker which shows the exact amount of rollover remaining.

Hi guys - squared away - rollover was met - I just threw $100 on both college games tonight - and lost

But I think the coast is clear now for withdrawal.............

Thanks again for the feedback!

Marc

This site is so ****ing awful I don't even feel like spending the time typing out my disaster trying to deal with this site. Seriously **** them do not deposit on this site they will give you so many run arounds when you try to withdrawal.

Yeah I just requested my final cashout from a skin of BOL..

After a big crash when I was involved in a large pot I just can't take it anymore. Back to Bovada and some of the legal online Jersey sites....

do they allow you to cashout with a partially cleared bonus(poker only)? if so, do you forfeit the uncleared portion of your bonus?

im still not having many issues with crashes.

id certainly choose bovada over BOL, but i play on both simultaneously.

It's so hard to give up on this site as it has some of the worst players right now. I'm still concerned with multiple "bots" as well but glad to be moving on. Pokerstars can't come to NJ soon enough!

my one and only withdraw via check went very smoothly, for the record. Also, i think crashes may be related to internet stability. when I was connected via wifi(signal was not to strong), crashes were more common. up until about three days ago my internet reliability was terrible, dsl signal spiked high and low, disconnections, etc, and again, crashes were more common.

Seemingly my internet is fixed now as of three days ago, and in two or three sessions i have had one or two crashes max, they have been at a much less frequent rate

any one using hotkeys or table managing software for BOL?

I've used Table Tamer with some success (on a different skin). I haven't played a lot and didn't get stacking to work, so was just tiling. Basic hotkeys and slots seemed fine tho. glgl

I love playing HU SNGs at BOL and getting kicked out in the middle of a game with this message:


"An error has occurred while trying to retrieve settings from our servers.

It is bad enough the software crashes at least once every 10 minutes. I have 4 to 5 bars on my internet connection so I doubt it is because of my internet service.

Yeah I've seen you on there. You were berating a fish when they made a questionable play. Congrats

This site is worse than lock poker

Although it takes a while to cash out i have withdraw net 30k in last 6 weeks. Takes a while and fees are a joke but you get it eventually.

Please explain how a site that actually pays its players is worse than one of the slimmest sites to ever grace the poker landscape?

yes, one of my weaknesses. i have finally turned off chat all the way on bovada, but i dont see the option to do so on BOL. i may start turning off chat on each table, but thats tedious.

anyway, youre correct, altho just about the entire site is fish, so it doesnt really matter much. i will try better in the future, but sometimes i cant control myself.

Yeah, I think the only way you can do it is table by table but I'm not sure. Just remember the fish are your friends.

i try hard to remember.

there was talk earlier in this about free payouts once per month on fridays or something. i have yet to notice or hear about this after playing for 5 weeks. i assume i cannot w/d prior to clearing my bonus anyway, so this wont matter to me personally for another 70-80 days, but when im ready id like to know how to find out the free payout day...

You can do it once a month but you need to request it on payout in the dialogue box. It doesnt apply automatically.

How do you win my entire student loan in 6 weeks playing poker on betonline?

Pretty much from about 3 guys and 2 drunken blackjack sessions. Got raped at NL1k tho. Cant remember the guys name but he took about 5k off me in a week.

You, my friend, are one lucky guy.
