You don't have to buy. You go to setting, set it to bitcoin, then when you add money, it automatically convert to bitcoin.
If you set it to US$, your bitcoin come into your account and automatically converted to US $.

Will Holdem Indicator hud show up and collect hands if you open tables and are not seated?

What's the best way to enter bet amounts while multitabling? Dragging the bar is tiresome, and having to click on the box sucks too, it takes too much time

Those of you who have been on this site for awhile, is it worth dealing with the software to play 100 and 200NL cash games? I am considering adding another site besides Bovada and this is the only one that seems to have reasonably soft games and traffic. But the software is pretty atrocious. I really have no idea why it lags when resizing/moving windows on my computer that is decked out with hardware either. But I am willing to deal with this stuff if the games are really good.

Define worth it.
I mean the games are reasonably soft the problem is how poor the software is and how slow it is. To give you a comparison I get around 2.5 more hands on Party compared to BOL.
Software on Pokerstars is around 3 times faster than on BOL comaretively in terms on hands/h.
I mean the games are softer on average but as long as you beat games on other sites it is not worth it. If you beat only bovada which is lol soft then yeah it is always worth is to add couple of tables.
For ROW/Us regs with access to vpn deals on euro sites (which is probably 90%+ US regs playing for a living) not worth it if you beat "normal sites" 3bb/100 +

Anybody experiencing delays with wire cashout? I requested one two weeks ago and it still hasn't hit my account.
12-12-2015 , 04:08 PM
Hey guys, I'm looking to hop on BOL and had a quick question. Does everyone have bitcoin cash outs or is it just for a select number of players like on Merge?

You dont know that most of US players, on low limits, played more loose and totally worst than other...

So they chose two accounts at random, and one just happened to be a friend? There's obviously some link between you.
They dont choose it random. i am not hide that was invited in this room by my friend with her bonuscode, but i NEVER play on the same table with her, 2nd account i dont even know...

I'd suggest they suspect you of cheating, not that they care how frequently you play.
ok, they suspect that i am cheating, wher the proofs? or they can steal my money without any explanations?

I only see credit card as a deposit option. What do I have to do get Bitcoin as an option?

I haven't seen anyone ITT report that they don't have the BTC cashout option.

Hello,

Is there any option playing cash and remove back jack window?

Thanks
12-13-2015 , 04:30 PM
The only option for removing the BlackJack window is if you play 4 or more tables you'll be able to close them.

I play poker for entertainment and profit. As US player, my options are limited. Played Betonline on Chico network for awhile, but have found in the last couple weeks, I can't play a tourney without disconnects.


Would advice, if the people that run this network do not fix it, you will not just find your network die, but your most loyal customers will leave. I'm a customer, and not happy that my hands are folded repeatedly in tourneys I play. I'd love to take advantage of the new customer referral bonus Betonline started to get friends or players I meet at casinos to deposit on this site, but unless Betonline upgrades their servers so I can actually play a tourney without constant disconnects, not happening.

Can anybody tell me about this "ATM only" card? I didn't know they did that. Bovada has one and WPN does too and they are awesome. It appears it is an $80 fee to just get the card (that is freaking steep) but if the loading and ATM fees aren't too bad it could be worth it. What do they charge you per ATM transaction, anybody have one and any experiences with it?

HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS ON THE POKER CLIENT ABOUT IT:
Min $1
Max $2500
Fee: $25

A physical, ATM only, reloadable card that can be used at any ATM machine. The card will be sent by courier, a one-time fee of $80 applies, delivery 3-5 days. The max payout per month is $7500. Fees per load are $25. Max two cards per account. Click the 'Apply for ATM only Card button to apply for a card. To qualify a copy of ID and Utility Bill are required. Country restrictions apply.

Is it possible to import hand history from betonline/sb.ag into HM2 for review?

I posted a review a while back in this thread. Fees are higher than what is advertised. Card expires after 2 years so factor in $80/24 + $4.95 monthly fee. $1.75 service charged by bank on loading. $2.75 ATM fee. I am out of the US currently and they (the bank) have steadily increased the fees for foreign transaction, up to about 8% now. In spite of all that, I could still see this card as being beneficial to some serious players. Quick and avoids US banking system.

ATM Only Cashout Method Review:

What a wonderful disaster.. The signup process is a bit convoluted. Had to go back and forth a few times with support to figure out what they wanted and where, I will spell out the correct process at the end. Got my card on the 4th business day after the request so pretty great so far despite the additional work. Arrived International Fedex 3-day, you have to pay for that plus the card and account which comes to $80. Card expires in 2 years.

Next up acknowledging receipt of the card and receiving the password and PIN. You are instructed to request a cashout and then you will receive the info. This took another 6 business days, initially couldn't login, eventually corrected with the bank.

You receive a list of fees during the process and have to acknowledge them before receiving the card...problem is the fees charged by the bank seem to be completely different. Card activation is listed as $2, I was actually charged $3.75. ATM withdrawal is listed as $1.50 but it's actually $2.75.

Cliffs: All considered, cash in hand in 10 business days is pretty great. If you're cashing out 5K/month, all the fees only end up being around 2.1% (less if you can find an ATM that gives >$300 a pop). Hopefully this is just a new method and they iron out the issues for future signups. Future cashouts are supposed to be in 24-48 hours.



If anyone is signing up, here are some clarifications on the process:
-on cashier page click payout, enter any amount between $100-$2500 (doesn't matter you won't be receiving this) click on ATM Only option
-on next page click on the request ATM Only card button
-on following page (ATM Only request form) the info should already be filled out except for 'account number' this is important, enter your Driver's License # or Passport#, whichever you will be sending them for verification, you don't complete the cashout request at this time
- you should then receive an email asking you to accept the fees, the $80 should come out of your account and the card should be on the way (signature required but you can leave a note)
-acknowledge receipt of the card and then when instructed you request another cashout (since you won't have completed the last one) and the card number should be entered already

I'm more concerned about Bitcoin (the WU I could careless about, will never use it)... Isn't your mom calling you for dinner?

I have been playing here for a long time now and they are not shady. They are however a smaller entity who has grown a lot lately and seem to be struggling a little bit with progressing as fast as the traffic is growing. They are also one of the only sites essentially telling the US as a whole as well as each state individually to take their laws and shove them you know where so as an MD resident I appreciate them allowing me to play there. I have done a lot of cash outs via WU and they have always been very quick. I have never had any serious issues with them. Soon after registering I sent them my ID just to get it out of the way in anticipation of smooth future cash outs. Yes there are people on here posting about issues. But realize something. For the most part, people who have good experiences do not find an online thread to talk about it. For the most part? Those who have bad experiences absolutely find a thread to complain about it. So with that in mind, and more positive reports then negative in this thread, I'd say a very good majority of players here are happy with their experience. Props to BOL. most of my play has been live lately but I am still a strong supporter of what you guys are doing in today's state of US online poker. And this is why I continue to talk about you guys and my experience with you.

What is it about this software that makes it lag so much when running a lot of tables or resizing them?

I monitored my memory usage while it was unusably laggy and it wasn't abnormal. My computer is decked out and can run just about anything, yet betonline client lags. Is there some trick or is the client like this for everyone?
12-15-2015 , 10:50 AM
How many tables are we talking? I play 4-8 tables and never lag. I Only lag sometimes when resizing.

Seems arbitrary, my 5 year old PC didn't lag 15 tabling. New laptop is fine as well. Try adding exclusions to anti-virus and updating display drivers, it's a long shot but better than contacting support which will get you nowhere.

Very strange. My drivers are up to date. I am on windows 7. It sometimes takes 10 seconds to go into position when I hit "Tile Tables".

The only software I am running with it is usually Bovada and Holdem Indicator.

How are you 15 tabling? what scripts do you use? Or do you just use multiple monitors?
