Hi Joker,

I am really sorry that this happened to you. I agree that the communication was not great that day, however bet online always give refunds and usually very quickly for issues of this nature.
I personally have dealt with many cases and got the tournament fees refunded.
Strangely I believe it was the dollar insanity tournament that caused the lag last time, which we have planned for this Sunday. It would be a great opportunity for you to see our new tournaments in the schedule.

The offer is still there if you wish me to take a look, I would need your email address and account number.


Kind regards

Mike

I'm not sure what that website is. The official site is BetOnline.ag. I'm not sure how much that .org site is actually affilitated with the official site. That .org site even has ads for their competitors' sites. Linked below is the up-to-date promotions page which lists the 100% First Deposit Bonus.

BetOnline Promotions

A call from a site representative after signing up is normal for them. They call to help you get your account funded and tell you about deposit bonuses.


This is where you went wrong. Their customer service is hit or miss in my experience when it comes to their knowledge about different aspects of the poker room. Contacting the sponsored forum representative, BetOnline Mike, is usually your best bet.

Hi, Mike.

About my last post https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...&postcount=127

It's been over a month since you banned those cheaters. Have you got any news? As they were banned, it means that I were right. So I've got some questions:

1. What country were those accounts from?

2. Will be there any compensation to the players who suffered losses?

3. How it happened that you hadn't noticed those cheaters for more than 1 year?

I think they'll try to come back. And I noticed some new accounts with unusual activity.



Also, I want to discuss the structure of tournaments. The present structure isn't suitable for tournaments 55$ +.

Averenge stack 12-15 BB at ITM stage looks more like bingo, not poker.

I need a couple of days to make an adequate structure for regular tournaments.

P.S. Immediately after my post with the exposure of scammers, BOL turned the doomswitch on my account, thanks a lot lol

yeah i don't want that affiliate getting anything from me signing up through that link if i'm not getting 200% up to 2.5k deposit bonus, clickbait garbage

can you have an account on betonline and sportbetting.ag?

Does anyone know roughly when the VIP points "freeroll" tournaments run? I have 145k points, no idea if that's enough for one, and went busto on BOL couple weeks back, so haven't been logging on much there but each time I check, I don't see any running Would like to at least use my VIP points up before re-depositing.

Thanks!

You can only use them for a 22 dollar satty to the main event that runs on Sundays. It only pays out 40 somethings seats no matter how many people enter. So basically your points are useless

1. Do you know how much points the entry costs?

2. Is the satellite also only on Sundays?

I don’t see anything when I filter for VIP points only

The vip point satellite no longer exists but rest assured the vip point system is in good hands. Mike has promised us a complete overhaul of the vip point system. Many things are in the works behind the scenes. The vip points system team will soon implement an entire new vip point system which will allow players to use vip points. Obviously this will take some time for a complete overhaul of a system of this size but the good thing is your points will keep accumulating in the meantime. Once the new vip point system is released it is possible that your points may once again be usable.

username checks out

how?

PLO bots are very easy to spot.

What other reg plays a gazillion hands, battles anyone and yet never plays a single hand on the straddle tables no matter how good the game is?

Stat wise they are ridiculous aggressive and will bet at almost any opportunity.

'Kesy' is the latest playing 2/5

Good to see this site has cleared up the bot problem once and for all am I right guise?

Well it's like a whack a mole, one gets banned and another pops up.

Think they're actually doing a better job than several other networks.

Hello
Would anybody be able to PM me suspected bots for PLO, as I have my suspicions on a number of them but only play on my phone so don’t have specific data.
I believe I’ve played Kesy recently
Thanks in advance

It wouldn't be possible until you have private messaging enabled on your 2+2 account.

Finished 2nd in a cash rake race back on April 5th which is supposed to include a main event ticket as part of the prize. Finally have time to play the event today so I go to check my account and of course the ticket has not been credited. So I contact live chat to add the ticket and they tell me "we're busy adding tickets", "the tickets will be added today", etc. Which makes zero sense that they'd be busy adding tickets from 3 weeks ago. So I guess I won't be playing the tournament today. This site man.

Please do not change the structures in the 55+ maybe add new ones but the reason a lot of people rebuy so much is because we do not have to waste 5+ hours playing like other sites.

I think you guys have a perfect mix right now maybe add some SLOW ones but do not change what you have right now.

I'm not sure about bots or not but i know one thing - those bots at 100 nl are awful. like if thats the state of bots in 2020 we all got nothing to worry about. i have a couple of names in my db that are likely bots but they are literally playing terribly. no one plays well in that pool.

Stupid question? Where do I navigate in the BOL menu to find the Boost games. Nothing shows up for me anywhere?

Hi socorro01,

In the cash lobby all the boost tables will have a B on the left hand side next to them.

Kind regards

Mike

Thank you...got it!

Hi Mike,

Would you spread 6+ (Short Deck) SnG's in the Fast 9 format, please?

Millions of dollars have been sucked out of the entire online poker economy over the last half decade due to bots.

I think the big thing that people who have similar thoughts to yourself fail to realize is that it's not that the games are currently unbeatable for the dedicated, like yourself, but the total amount of money that is being pulled out of the games by these cheaters in total.

The bot below has since been banned, but that's not an insignificant amount of money stolen from the games by a single bot account.



Current poker bot proficiency is all over the map. Not unlike real players, some can crush their stakes, some are slight winners, some are break-even, some are slight-losers and some are so poorly configured that they'll almost always lose at the tables in the long-term without an upgrade in strategy. What almost each one of them can do is put in much more volume than any human without ever tilting or losing focus. Their base strategy is almost always good enough to consistently take money off of recreational players. Their increasing presence almost always has a negative effect on most other real players' winrates.

Just because you, I and other dedicated poker players can still win at the tables currently, does not mean that it's ever a good idea to minimize the threat that bots pose to the long-term health of the games. I'd much rather the people who think similar to yourself said nothing about the issue if you're not concerned about the threat that bots and AI pose. Poker is a game that many of us still love to play and would like to be able to continue to enjoy for the foreseeable future without allowing cheaters to prosper.

BetOnline Mike: There is a lot I like about BetOnline, but how can your site justify taking a 15% admin fee everytime the BBJ is hit (that would be about $60,000 if the jackpot currently hit and that is just one time hitting) and then take another 35% of the jackpot to 'reseed' which means that rollover money just gets taxed 15% over and over as the jackpot gets hit. The whole system seems like a greedy way to scoop up hundreds of thousands a year extra from the poker player pool on top of considerable rake. And then the site claims this is some kind of 'promo' when it's in fact horrible for the players?

Another strike against the BBJ - It also benefits bot and mega grinder / shared accounts who can be on the tables the maximum amount of hours.
