I really like the exspanded bounty scheduel. I Like that there arebounty tournaments for all buy in levels. 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50. This should stay for even after the series.

They should do a 2k or 3k tounry every day that you can buyin with points, start it at 7est. Sunday make it a 4 or 5k maybe. I’m new to the site and it is kinda annoying to rack up points that have no use.

Add couple of those boost tournaments. I played the boost bounty tournament and like it. Couple of those per a day would be good. Non bounty ones would be good. Try a heads up one.

Not ideal but just make a HUD stat that is stack in BB and have it with a solid background. Seperate from the main stats for every player and set it for everyone including hero. Put it right over the players stack size and boom. Pretty easy workaround I had used for a while and you also don't have to rely on the site to make it look and feel how you desire.

I don't have trouble with mental conversions now but I did this when I was learning and it helped a lot.

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to usher in some positivity for just one post at least. The added PKO tourneys are awesome IMO. They are my favorite format by far. I'm a cash guy but they are FUN. <Cue most interesting man in the world: I don't always play tourneys; but when I do, I play bountys.>

There are valid complaints for very legit, very urgent issues that have been festering far beyong an acceptable timeframe. I'm right there with you guys for the most part in demanding better from the site. I Just want to be slightly positive for a change and point out a strong point: The user experience provided by BetOnline is fantastic. It doesn't feel cheap scummy or glitchy like sites they compete head to head with. They also haven't had payout complaints (correct me if I'm wrong) that I am aware of.

Stable and clean software and a reputable cashier still make this site where I put the most volume in. That said there is SO MUCH potential to be great being this site is not seizing right now. Thas has been said a lot lately but it is so so true.

Is there a way to turn off the bounty prize pop up/auto close it?

I agree. I can play max tables on BOL but can't even play more than one table on ACR or Ignition without my computer overtaxed and lagging.

I could be way wrong I've always used PT4 and just briefly dabbled with it out of curiosity.
03-24-2020 , 10:41 PM
Yes, they offer a free HoldemIndicator clone. Unfortunately for doomswitched, he'd have to be running that at the time of his play to record those hands into that tracker. You can't import them after the fact. I'm also not sure if it's possible to transfer the hands from their free HUD into HM2 if that's where he inevitably wants them.

Just pointing out we are going to hit 4000 players online any second now. Of course it took a worldwide pandemic to cause a poker 'boom' which dampens the good news...

Can't remember if there has ever been this many people at one time? Anyone have an idea of the record?
03-26-2020 , 05:39 PM
The only place I could think of to find that information would be PokerScout and I'm not sure there's a way to access historical data on the current bastardized version of PokerScout. It's a shame what PokerScout has become compared to what it used to be.

Forgot about pokerscout. Theres more people logging on as we approach the peak evening hours. Fun to see this much action, but also makes me sad to be calling 4000 players 'this much action' compared the old days!

I'm sure traffic is up everywhere by a lot but Kudos to the BOL team for getting the corona tourney series running at the right time and drawing some new players.

On Saturday Mar 21 I was in the middle of playing a few 2/5 PLO tables when I was kicked from the client mid-hand and given a 3003 locked account error. Upon contacting customer support I was told that my account was under review and this was standard procedure they do for accounts both old and new. They stated it would take 72 hours to complete and that I would receive an email with an update to the status of my account.

It has now been 5 days since than and I've received no sort of communication. After contacting support AGAIN and spending nearly an hour with their live chat AGAIN they are just giving me the runaround, refusing to give any explanation as to why my account was locked and only repeatedly saying they need more time and there is no ETA.

This is outright theft and if one were to search Betonline they would see countless threads bringing light to the fact that Betonline has a long history of regularly confiscating large balances. What makes this even more suspect is that just yesterday Betonline Mike announced in the cashier thread that payouts limits have been reduced to $3,000 per transaction, 1 per week until further notice. Given that traffic has increased on all poker sites due to the current coronavirus situation it is a very disconcerting move and makes me question their solvency.

This is very disturbing. I have a pending (semi-large) bet on Biden +500 for the nomination which is almost certain to win. Now I worry if I will get paid.

I don't think they are insolvent yet, but they are definitely experiencing a run on the bank because of the coronavirus, and I doubt they separated player funds.

BTW, live chat is staffed by monkeys (not just on Betonline, but pretty much everywhere at every business). You should call, and be aggressive about demanding both a resolution and a reason for the suspension.

The low limit Boost Bad Beat Jackpot has been going up extremely fast too, which is unusual. It hasn't been hit in a couple of days either.
03-26-2020 , 08:53 PM
So just to clarify Aces full losing is for the boost jackpot? How much % wise is contributed to the jackpot?

This seems weird that they would do that, but maybe all of their support when you call them/investigative team is quarantine so they can't do anything? I do understand their cash out limit. In these times everyone just wants cash on them, so everyone is going to try to cash out everything they have on their account and it's just going to overload them to pay it all out. So, limiting it helps them and doesn't make them go insane trying to pay out millions at the same time.
03-26-2020 , 09:11 PM
Im sure they were holding player funds in BTC like the rest of the sites and never liquidated it upon receiving and then when BTC drops 30-40% over a week all of a sudden these rooms wont be able to cover balances and you get stuff like this.

Yes. I'm not sure on the percentages, but I know there's a lot of them lol. Some goes to the winner, loser, rest at the table, then everyone else that was playing boost. A certain percentage also goes back into the boost jackpot. By the way, I recognize your username from boost.
03-26-2020 , 11:09 PM
The curious thing to me is that you were in the middle of a hand, which means that they suspect some possible wrong-doing on your part, but you're bringing up insolvency for some reason. If you had said that you requested your once a week 3k limit cashout and were denied, along with several other players saying the same, then the insolvency thing might have some merit. Until you hear back about the investigation we won't know what their reason was for suspending your account.

Boost Bad Beat Jackpot

Quote:
WHAT’S THE DEAL?

Along with the popular action-packed Boost "fast fold" format to challenge your game, we’ve added the "Bad Beat" element. If your Full House "any Aces full" (AAA-XX) or better gets cracked by a higher ranking hand, you and all others playing at Boost Bad Beat Jackpot tables will share in the Jackpot prize money!

Bad Beat Payouts:

Winner of Bad Beat (Losing Hand) 40%

Winner of the Hand 20%

Players at the table where the BBJ was triggered: 15%

Players playing on bad beat boost tables: 10%

Reseed value: 15%

No fee is taken by the house, and every cent goes back to YOU, our players!

PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT

As a kickstarter, we’ve thrown $1,000 into the pot. But as a progressive prize pool with 2c from every $1 pot (max. 10c per pot) contributed to the Jackpot total, it’s anybody’s guess how big it can grow before it hits.

Hi danny,

Please send me your account number and email address please.
I will do my best to look into this and find out what has happened for you.

Again whilst I understand your frustration, at the moment many of our offices around the world, many in Europe have been hit with casualties during this pandemic, it may simply be delayed.

I will find out what has happened and give you an answer.

Kind regards

Mike

Hey Mike,

I just want to double check because it seems crazy. Are you saying only the .10$/.25$ tables are eligible for the cash race? If true can you explain why this is the policy?
I checked the TOS of the Cash Race on the Promotions page and there are no stake limitations mentioned there.
Thanks,
Sam
