Last two checks i cashed out were received in 5 days. Pretty Pretty sweet.. I went from a cry baby to a little kid on christmas (first check took a month and a half until i found out something happened to it, and eventually got it refunded). Last two pure money!

I'll never understand why sites offer things like rake races, which attract regs, then get mad when too many regs kill the games. It starts with one player. Whose next? Just look what has happened to merge the past 1-2 years.

I requested a check from them, received it in 5 days but took a month for my to find out that the check bounced. Huge hassle for me to get my money back. I ended up just using Bitcoin.

Agree 100%

Where does it end? You take out the biggest sharks in the pool and other players will eventually take their place. Then you ban those players? And how long does this go on for? As soon as enough good players realize they can't play there the site will get a bad reputation and traffic will decline. This traffic decline also has an effect on the amount of people willing to donk off money in their sportsbook and in their casino.

I don't like the direction this site has been going recently. When you take away the ability to reach the top and make money you diminish the desire to play there. Even if very few people ever reach the top, that dream it is what drives many players to put in the time that in turn produces the rake that the site makes money off of.

Does betonline have any representatives on twoplustwo? They could learn a thing or two from reading this thread.

Someone named Tiffany_Martins(sp?) used to be an unofficial rep for them in this thread. She stopped posting in the thread earlier this year when people starting asking about some real issues. I don't think she had much power to get things changed. Seems like BOL likely put the kibosh on their involvement with social media/forum interactions regarding poker. The best person to contact is Dave Mason on Twitter, but he mainly deals with the sports betting stuff.

Even if a site doesn't have a rep I don't believe for one second that someone from their company isn't monitoring social media and forums to see what's being said about their product. They've probably just been told not to interact.

Does this network have heads up cash games? Finding it impossible to find many sites that have them these days.

They removed Heads-Up and 4-max tables about 3-4 weeks ago.

What do you mean by the sports bets are not showing up? I went to the site and had no issues seeing them and also clicked Sportsbook in the client and it took me there as well. Could you clarify what issue you're having?

For a 30 minute time frame there were no bets being displayed. When i clicked a sport nothing appeared but this message "no bets currently. come back later".

Requested one check, my bank informed me that the check bounced about a month after depositing, (international takes awhile to clear). Luckily BetOnline reimbursed me the full amount and i successfully withdrew via Bitcoin.

It could have just been a one time thing but I wasn't planning on waiting another month to find out.

Haven't played much the last few days but looks like the usual midstakes PLO bots haven't been around much (p1neju*ce, p*mp, and !draw).

A player with very similar stats(small sample tho) has shown up though (Pol-something)(not the shortstack poly).

Also, a player tigriny(something similar) has shown up recently although with tighter stats and been grinding a lot with big stacks. He made a couple very strange moves when i was at his table(calling with the nut boat vs river raise)(flatting AA in clear 4b spot) and a couple people at the table were even talking to him about his river flat, but he didn't respond.

Anyone else have any insight into these players? Anyone else seen the old bots around recently?

I can't say for certain what happened in the last few weeks, but suspected bot account activity has been way down. Some have disappeared. The old ones that are still around are playing less tables.

My guess is that they finally banned some suspicious accounts and the ones that didn't get banned are trying to fly under the radar for now.

New ones will always pop up. And if the new ones start putting in heavy volume like before then it'll be easy to spot them. Their statistics, similar to other bots, become clear pretty fast because of the amount of hands you can get on them in a short amount of time. My hope is that they will get shut down sooner than later from now on.

To be clear I only have good knowledge of the bots who play(ed) low stakes nlhe, but I suspect that this is similar for all games across the site. Maybe this is only true of cash game bots though. I don't put in a lot of volume in the mtts and sngs so I can't speak to the botting activity in those games.

Anyone know any info on the husngs? I withdrew everything once I saw betonline "removed the heads up games permanently" (live chat quote)

But now it seems they're back, so I guess I'll be depositing again. Lol BoL

isn't more rake generated in PLO? seems like sites would go after PLO regs AFTER nlhe regs

Most of players faced problems with cashouts several months ago and now they decided just to ban the cashouters.
if the reason was some software or bumhunting, they could have mentioned it in the letter.
wow I played a good amount with KOPOBAH mostly April-June never thought anything was unethical with you, maybe a bit bumhunty, but most are, and there are numerous far more egregrious examples than you in the NLHE mid/high stakes games

I've seen a couple of old bots at the tables the other night and they were playing 2 3 tables of 9msx which they never did before...
In 10NL

I took a peak at those tables too. From 8+ tabling 6-max for months to 3 tabling full ring. LOL

Yeah definitely some of their accounts has been suspended that now they stopped the bot and started playing themselves to protect their identity imo...
They will be back soon...

That may be possible, but it's also possible they might still be using the software and playing less tables so they don't stick out as much. I can't say for certain.

I play MTT at BOL. I cannot comprehend how some very well known names at the site can, according to Sharkscope, and the activity you see at the site, play 30 tournaments a day, every single day, without some sort of automated assist. Am I just underestimating the retired?

Consistently having to log-in several times before success EVERY TIME I try to play lately.

That happening to anyone else?

Obviously 30 MTTs is not unheard of at bigger sites, but I would think that may be more difficult to do here. Are you sure they are all MTTs? The most suspicious part for me is if they really are playing that volume on an every day basis.

If you assume someone is using automated assistance on the Chico network there's a good chance they are. It appears that they may finally be looking into suspected botting accounts and doing something about it. So I would report them if you have any reason to believe they are cheating.
