Well it's been a week since I made a withdrawal. I was told there would be a review done within 24 hours (there wasn't). Then I emailed the site on Tuesday asking what was up and was told my withdrawal would be reviewed within 48 hours (it wasn't).

So today I called support and they asked me for my account # AND password which is insane. He was willing to take my security question/answer instead since I said there was no way I was giving out my password over the phone. So he tells me that there is nothing he can do for me and I have to contact the poker people (even tho I moved the funds to sports so I could withdrawal from the main site). So I just sent ANOTHER email, hopefully something good happens.

While waiting for someone from the poker department to come into chat my computer suffered at 'fatal error' (the blue screen of death popped up). When I rebooted my computer and tried to start a new chat session, I was unable to logon. Called customer servvice and they were unable to help. I've since called my credit card company annd disputed the charges. Complete fail.
I would have waited to do that. Clearly it is not the BOL client that has anything to do with your computer having issues. It's not like they somehow sent some malicious software to your computer to steal your deposit. All deposits always go into the sports account. On the bottom of the poker client are options to switch back and forth. When you clicked transfer and nothing happened, this sounds like it's related to whatever issues your computer is having. You should have been patient and either fixed the errors your computer's having not being able to open up that other window, or gotten on another computer. It's not a big deal or any kind of big at all that it goes into a sports account. It literally takes 2 clicks of the mouse and about 15 seconds to transfer between the 2. This sounds like a computer issue and imo a not very smart knee jerk reaction to a situation that wasn't at all what you were taking it as

Shoot support an email. Has your account been verified before (sent in ID and other appropriate documents and had them verified by CS?)

I would go to the client open a table and click the live support button and talk to someone through there. They can transfer you right to the poker department which it sounds like was not the case in the phone. Has your account been verified by emailing your ID AND any other required documents in the past? Is this your first withdrawl? It sounds to me like their is some reason for it not going through yet, especially because they are asking you to speak to poker support. As in there is some kind of red flag on your account maybe something like potentially unknowingly having played with an account that has been caught doing something wrong and they are checking your relation to it. Idk. I don't work there. But I do know I have made a good amount of withdrawals from there and they have been fast and I have been happy. One as recent as like 2 weeks ago. So up to this point I trust them and wouldn't be too worried yet but keep pushing them about it you deserve an answer

Here is the rakeback promo breakdown

$1 rake = 1 free agent
5 free agents = 1 rookie
5 rookie= 1 starter
5 starters = 1 vet
5 vets = 1 all pro
3 all pro = 1 hall of fame
3 HOF = 1 LEGEND

1 rookie= $5 rake
1 starter =$25 rake
1 vet= $125 rake
1 all pro= $625 rake
1 HOF = $1875 rake
1 legend = $5625 rake

1 vet =$10 RB
1 all pro =$50RB
1 HOF= $150 RB
1 legend =$50RB
so
Vets = 8%RB
All pros= 8%RB
HOFs=8%RB
legends=8.889%RB

Granted, something is better then the nothing I'm use to. But at the same time, couldn't they do a little better then this. The fact that you don't earn any other kind of rewards for play, someone generating $5600 in rake for the site imo deserves more then $500. If it was a permanent thing then OK 8-9% is mehhh OK but as a 1 month special promo if your generating that much rake I really think it should be closer to 30-40%

How have the games been here on this site? Was debating putting a 100 on to see.

How high do the cash games play at? Sick of the bum hunters on ACR.

Also is the software still like 2003 cake or whatever?

Are they also paying quickly ?

Got my bitcoins! I just had to bitch a little and they got right on it.

Yeah see I think the majority of any problems anyone is having I believe is way more due to disorganization/cconfusion/laziness on their end. Which I would rather not have to deal with, I'd rather not have to email them and remind them to process my payout, but bottom line is as this point I trust them with my money which is most important for me. Delays or a somewhat broken process of how they are doing things can be improved upon. A company of thieves however is something that can't be improved. And so far my experience is they may not be the brightest CS in some cases, but they are honest and that's fine with me

Games imo are without a shadow of a doubt way way better then ACR. I won't even play acr cash anymore. Acr is for tournaments, BOL tournaments are almost non existent.

Cash games go up to 5/10nl. Peak hours I'd say there's maybe 7+ 5/10 running

Software is terrible if coming from acr. Honestly tho you get use to it. I've played there awhile now so it's what I know so I've adjusted and it's normal to me now

All my cash outs via WU and MG I've picked up the money within 24-36 hours of requesting it. Sometimes they get lazy or forgetful so you mail have to email them and tell them to get on it but they will

Thanks for the info. I had emailed them before posting. They replied that they would check with management and get back to me and the payout has now been received.

My bitcoin withdrawal took 1 week but was eventually successful
10-09-2015 , 07:10 PM
Just deposited. Is there a way to make he horrible black jack crap go away? How obnoxious.

It's side by side my poker game
10-09-2015 , 07:13 PM
When you have 4 or more tables open, there is an option to close blackjack.

That's the only way? Seems pretty stupid if that's it
10-09-2015 , 09:20 PM

yes its the only way and yes its stupid. very stupid. What i do is immediately open 3 empty 1cent2cent tables sit and sit out and minimize, from there i start loading up the tables im gonna play and i can instantly close the blackjack table as i sit at the tables i wanna be at. It makes for maybe an extra 2 to 5 mins getting my session started. after that it doesnt have an impact for the hours i continue to play.

some come on here and say they refuse to play there because of this.
Heres how I see it, if PS and FT were still options i would agree. But, they arent.. this is our current state of internet poker for those who still want to play. I live in MD, so im not allowed on Bovada, from what i hear if i was allowed id probably be there, idk. But other then BOL my only other option is ACR, which IMO, the cash games are horrid. If you wanna play NL100, get use to sitting with mostly NL600 players on ACR because there are literally so few games to open enough tables they want to play they go that low. Get use to incredibly nit games and few of them. In my experience BOL has way more and way fishier way looser cash games. And even goes higher, with multiple regular 5/10s open. So as far as these inconviences go, if you want to play online poker in its current state, get over them, or dont play. u know?

I know im all over this thread talking up BOL like i work for them, but this is the truth of it, I dont work for them, ive played there for a good while now, My cashouts have always been a good experience, i now genuinely trust them with my money, the games really are pretty good considering the state of online poker, and ive watched them grow pretty steadily over this last year. And i would like to see them continue to grow, because that is +ev for me. Decent games and feeling your money is safe, in its current state that is really the only 2 things u can ask for. If u need more, I would stop playing until more regulation comes down the pipeline and bigger companies start coming back into the market legally.

I played for like 7 hours str8 on 2-4ish tables and I still only have 3 vets. It is passed 6:00 to where it is suppose to update. I know I've raked a shyt ton of money too. I've had quite a few situations where it has been all-in and the pot was split on the river (lucky fishies). I should have an all pro by now. Not sure how some people have 2 hall-of-famers. They must have like 30 tables open.

Another thing. These players at 100nl keep cold 4-betting and it is driving me CRAZY. I play too many slightly garbage hands, but I can't stop myself. Ahhhhhhhh. Help me! I play for too long and I start doing stupid stuff. Now I'm being a fish.

You don't have to apologize for being a fanboy. This is a great site with a ton of action and quick cashouts. I love the horrid software and lack of rakeback because it keeps the games good. It's like a time machine to 2006.

Interstate regulated games are terrible and not the future. I live in a regulated state and play here. Bitcoin and sportsbooks are the present and the future, at least the next 5 years. California regulation is the only thing meaningful on the horizon and if you have been following along that is the worst sweat ever.

In other news, my 'ATM Only' card came, 4th business day! Will post a full report when I load and withdrawal.

I know that is frustrating but people like that are what cuts a profit. I would congratulate that player and hope he makes the same move again.

Are you saying 7 hours of 4 100nl tables once or every day this month? Because having 3 vets after one 4 table 7 hour session would be killing it. I agree it seems ****ty. Getting 8%rake back max is redic imo. It's better then nothing but as a 1 time 1 month promo someone creating $5600 in Rev for the site should get more then 8.9%RB IMO. but if it's only 1 sess your taking about, realize that having 3 vets means you've created $375 of rake. I couldn't imagine creating much if any more in a single 7 hour 4 table NL100 session

I've missed maybe like 3 days this month but the other I've been doing like 4 hours sessions daily of 4-6 tables between NL50-NL200 and I have 1.5 vets. Lol. Crazy. But yeah the guys at the top of the leader board are a lot of the same players I suspect of possibly being bots... and that would make sense. Hopefully with their growth their security against such a thing will improve. For the meantime I've adjusted my game against certain players

The notes that you made (or should have made) on that player are probably worth more than any money that you could have possibly lost in that pot.

Can't see what the rake is like for BOL. Is it standard ie less than 888?
Is the most RB you can get about 8%?

This link has the rake race leader board, the rb explained (if you go back a page in this thread I broke down the actual numbers of the promo if your interested), and the explanation of their rake system
