By the rules, I believe the Tiger Gaming numbers are correct, but who knows how it will play out. Unfortunately, it's going to be unfair to some at this point, no matter what. Hopefully they get it patched up soon.


[edit]

TigerGaming has correct player points in their leader board.
BetOnline, SportsBetting, and PayNoRake have wrong numbers.
(But we don't know which will be awarded.)

There is also a discrepancy in the Silver-level payout tables where BetOnline has 30 places paid and the rest of the sites have 20. I believe 30 is correct since it then totals out at the claimed $5k per week.

I tried making my 1st deposit via bitcoin today and had 2 questions....

1) When i tried to deposit it only let me input the USD amount, but not knowing what exchange rate they were using made it hard to know how to deposit all the bitcoins i had available.

2) so i tried entering different amounts until i could figure out how to get my whole bitcoin balance deposited. after 3 refresh attempts my acc got locked and i had to call customer service....the weird part was the person wanted my account # and my PASSWORD to confirm my identity. Is it standard practice to ask a player for their password? He then proceeded to tell me the 1st and last letter/digit of my password to ease my concerns.

Client keeps crashing for me. Anyone else?

yes its normal to ask for password. and they give you an exact btc amount on the secondary page after you input how much you want to deposit (i made the same mistake)

Normal on Chico, which hopefully they'll change some day.

There used to be a couple other sites/networks that did this previously, but I think (hope!) they've stopped this sloppy security practice.

My biggest gripe with BOL is this ^.

There are countless effective and safer alternatives CS agents could use in order to verify account holders. I doubt I am alone in feeling uneasy that any staff member, let alone the (presumably) lowest paid workers of an overseas sports book have access to my password. Only one person should know the password for my account: ME. Absolutely absurd.

Any ruling>no ruling
It is the final day!

just played my 1st session on here.

1) crashed and kicked me out of all my tables and gave me the error (another instance of this client has logged onto the network please close blah blah). Is this normal?

2).didnt know i couldnt see mucked showdowns (thats really really lame)

3). everything they say about this site is true...the software is laggy and terrible.

FYP.

plus in response to disconnections, make sure your playing on a table that has all in disconnection protection, can save yourself some heartache when u get d/c w/ teh nuts an already put a good amount of $ in the pot

When I used to grind here people abused this feature all the time on big river bets..kinda annoying

Is it fair to say this thread should be renamed? No one's having cashout issues with this site anymore, right?

There should have been a new thread started once the new management was confirmed legit. It's not fair that they are being associated with the OP.

Yah absolutely. I haven't had an issue with payments since I began grinding on BOL ~1 year ago. I'm gonna create a new "General BOL thread"

As long as people keep being vigilante in reporting suspicious D/C spots it will keep getting better. I've noticed a huge improvement of that type of behavior over the year I've been there. They also have no d/c protection tables but yah, play at your own risk at them cuz ligit d/c are a pretty big problem still unfortunately.

As was pointed out in the old BOL thread, payout issues have been resolved so it is only fair to the site to have a new thread dedicated to BOL that does not have "cashout issues" in the title.

Pros- Insanely fast cash outs for US players
- Soft player pool

Cons:- Software needs updating very badly.
- Disconnection problems persist, as does D/C protection abuse

Random tip: to get rid of the blackjack table on the side of the screen, sit out @ 3 play money tables, and when you sit at ur first real money table a box will appear in the center of the BJ screen that says "hide casino." Click that.

Old thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...ssues-1127225/

I will agree the title is pretty bad/maybe misleading. They pay out, if anything it should be about how bad their software is and it doesn't seem that they have any intentions of improving it. In a nutshell seeing the title I can see how that would keep people from making an attempt to deposit on this site. Its a weird lag and you have black jack displayed at every table, unless you have 4 of them. I have never even deposited on this site because the software has scared me so much.

Not sure a new thread is needed, but like the idea of having a FAQ for the first post. It seems like a bunch of posts in this thread are questions regarding payouts/software/getting rid of BJ tables.

I agree. Maybe instead of just deleting posts ITT, the mods could do something productive and change the thread title? Or add a FAQ. I dunno, something?

Edit- I understand why they were deleted, to keep this thread from getting off track, and I will refrain from posting any more of my opinions of Santa ITT. But please change the thread title or something. Totally unfair the new owners of BOL are being associated with the issues in the OP.

I've never seen it as a big deal, as "issue" isn't terrible negative, but I understand the point.

That's a pretty tricky thing to do. Who decides the new management is legit? Who determines if new ownership truly is new? I don't think having the previous history is a big deal; I expect most people will be reading the last several pages of the thread. That said, I think a title change could help.

And maybe instead of constantly insulting one guy and derailing the thread, you could do something productive and formally request a change (post report, PM) rather than posting in this thread with the hopes that a mod will see it. I expect your previous posts were deleted not because a mod who doesn't even play on the site happened to see your posts and deleted them while ignoring talk about a title change - they likely came here because of a post report and dealt with the reported issue.

Edit to add: I'll add this here so as not to further derail. No credit to me for title change; someone (probably Mike Haven) beat me to it by a few minutes. And as for my presumption (I guess you sent someone else a PM, because there wasn't a post report), my pleasure! Just matching yours (since a mod did something productive - deleting the derail). But my sincere apologies if you were offended.

Yeah, I had done what you suggested already. But thanks for trying to make me look like an ******* with your presumption I did nothing productive to get this done(as someone who is a paid worker of the forums, very professional of you). Whatever tho thanks for finally changing the title.

So yeah BOL. Anyone wanna play some step 4 SnG's with POPs tonight? First place gets like 90 tourney dollars. Pm me when you wanna play and we can set it up

Site down for anyone else? Says Connection game to server lost. But my internet is fine

Yep, it's down.

software was glitchy, now down
