I think you must've used a deposit bonus or some other kind of promotional offer.

That's probably it. I have read a couple of posts here stating that they were told there was a rollover requirement left on a bonus, but the poster said they didn't opt into a bonus. However, I set up an account here last night and someone from BOL called me instantly to ask when I was going to deposit and what I was going to bet. After I said "I don't know and just poker." he said to just leave the promo code box blank and that will automatically put the deposit bonus in place for poker.

So I bet you guys that are getting this message deposited thinking you were not opting into a bonus, but they opted you in automatically.

maybe we should... ?

There's a few of them out there. There's only one that's really good though. lol

This is very true. Holdem Indicator is excellent!

how soft are 100-200nl games here?

not soft at all

Yes I did use it but it's not just problem in that. They have in their terms that you need to wager as much as you deposit. It's their defense for people who deposit and withdraw without playing while poker room still needs to pay fee to skrill/neteller/etc..

Level?

blah..

hm2 much better

anyone able to answer this for me please (already have an account, so am aware of the 1St deposit bonus, so looking for a current promo)

Think you missed my poor attempt at humor. Hence the

been waiting 7 hours now for my 1st deposit to show. they say my transaction was 'processed successfully' in a message they sent to 'my account'. my bonus has been added, but my account balance says zero. ive seen people complain about chico saying bitcoin wasnt recieved. how common is a 7 hour wait ? i sent them a reply about 5 min ago" my balance still says zero". will keep posted

ok well I figured out that i had to go into my account at their website and transfer it from the sportsbook. i coulda swore it seemed like i was specifically putting it in my poker account when i sent it but i guess i missed something. next, is to find out if my bonus is for pokerplay and not sportsbetting.

Only promo is rake races. No bonuses at the moment. Those points can be used to enter guaranteed nightly tournaments but you can't rebuy with points or use them for anything else. rake 5.5


yup. every deposit will always end up in your sportsbook. You then have to manually transfer it to poker.

This makes sense for chico as they are already blatantly serving all 50 states and more and are named "chico" and likely make 10X from sports compared to poker.

You will notice that you have an "unlimited" 25% reload bonus for sports.

and you will get the 100% on first deposit for poker even if you mess up the code etc, just email them

I haven't played on there for months but just looked up all the info. Also, whenever someone chats you feel like you are playing early 80s atari with the sound effects.

Anyone knows do they accept winning players in sports betting? So many negative reviews, but many players are still playing on this site.

ty.

anybody know if I can hide the headsup tables or is it just limited to empty/full etc. ?

yesterday it seemed like the games were better in the early afternoon than the evening, is that normal or just a weird day?

Hey,

Don't take this personally, but how can you claim that your knowledge of statistics is relevant here where the evidence you provide is self-admittedly devoid of any actual statistics.

Not saying betonline isn't crooked in their own ways - they are.

But without any actual empirical data to be analyzed your case is anecdotal.

I also played quite a bit before black friday, and continue to play when i have time, and am also almost Ph.D ABD. My area certainly involves quite a bit of statistics.

Without actual data, even if your statistical knowledge happens to far surpass mine (who knows?...), it's useless.

In terms of the client itself being especially rigged in any significant fashion for the blackjack hands... Why would they do this? They make plenty from that game as is, and the live blackjack cheating seems to have more to do with the live casino staff than betonline promoting it somehow.

They do shady ****, refuse to answer questions, have a VIP Program that they advertise that doesn't exist, have weird and misleading bonus stipulations, etc.

But to say that they are purposefully rigging the deck systematically....?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence; and in this regard I don't see the evidence as anything but anecdotal.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence, but devoid of empirical support for your claim it seems ungrounded.

Shady - yes; systematically rigged - doubtful or at least inconclusive...IMO.

Best,
Stan

Can you or anyone else elaborate on this a bit? What's so shady? Considering moving my play over here. I'm reading the thread, but there seems to be some difference of opinion, especially since they are under new management/ownership. I think?

Created a betonline account to play some donkaments. Within 30 seconds of completing the registration process I got a phone call from a betonline representative welcoming me to the site and telling me about the bonus. Thought it was kind of weird but whatever.

The tournament schedule seems pretty weak compared to ignition but there are some decent ones worth playing.

Anything I should know about the site?

They clearly have no issue with players who are obviously botting. Seems kinda shady to me.

Other than that I haven't had issues with BOL in its current incarnation. Just make sure you're clear on your bonus requirements.

BOL is my primary site as a US player. Payouts are super fast, support is good. My only warning would be to stay away from bonuses; if you do decide to take advantage of one, make sure to read the Conditions/terms of whatever bonus you may take.

I wouldnt put too much worth into peoples comments that say its shady rigged etc

Those people are generally more often than not, losing degenerate gamblers.

The site is shadyish(obv taking US customers with BTC) and they do have a few bots in PLO that do not get banned(but I appreciate the practice vs bots, but sucks they taking fish money)

The site passes my list of ****

a) cashes me out whenever in a good time frame
b) soft cash games to make up for lack of Rakeback
c) pretty decent software, some connections here and there but nothing game breaking

games are soft... cashouts are fast

but they dont mind bots on the site

gl

I still haven't figured out how to spend my player points. Help me out?

Why the mystery about what makes the bonus requirements shady? Did I just sign over the right for them to share personal info with everybody? I thought poker websites all secretly did that anyways. Seems I often get junk mail from some online casino I never heard of after I sign with a new poker room.

Thanks in advance
