Does anyone else have an issue where there client sometimes will randomly close out all tables and shut down?

Running Hem3, jurojin, and hand converter fwiw.

I had a suspicion that may be the culprit. Because it does the same thing to me on Ignition sometimes.

If I've created an account but never deposited, can I still create a new one through an affiliate and get rakeback through that?

3. Solid security team compared to many other options over the last few years.

4. Limited options. As somebody who lives in the US without regulated online poker in my state yet, the next best options are Bovada/Ignition, the WPN sites, Global Poker and app/agent clubs. Each has its pros and cons.
Whats the status on the bot situation that was plaguing BOL a few years ago? I just started playing there again and just wondering as I'm running into a few players at the micros that seem unreasonably tough for that limit.

Hope you're well pal

Didn't Chico end affiliates and rakeback for poker? Was thinkin about joining up on the Sportbetting skin in the new year, switch over from BOL. Other than a 1st depo bonus and a new screenname is there any other benefit one should be looking for before signing up?

Hey JR,

It's nice to see you back around and thanks for the well wishes!

The old bot ring was eradicated from the tables a couple of years ago and, to my knowledge, has not returned.

Besides very infrequently playing some of the fast fold tables I haven't sat below 200NL regularly in a few years, so I can't share any meaningful personal data regarding those stakes, but I haven't seen anybody mention or bring to my attention anything about a botting issue at those stakes on this network recently.

Yeah, they ended agreements with all the super affiliates and many affiliates. They gave new deals out to the super affiliates but they are much lower than the old ones.

Thanks for the info. I'll just chalk it up to a few players actually having some skill and aggression. It's nice to hear that the bot ring was exterminated since that was one of the reasons why I left BOL.

Cool idea with the plo freerolls but they take way too long. No idea why you decided to put 10 minutes levels for those. Played over 2 hours to win like 30 cents.
12-30-2022 , 04:39 PM
And i just played one that was advertised as 6card but it was only 5card omaha. Lol. Not the best look if you ask me.

No where in my cash lobby does it say plo6, was it an mtt? The 6 all the way to the left is how many people per table

It was a freeroll. No it states clearly "6 card omaha" in the mtt lobby, i just checked again. But also its written "omaha 5" a bit more down and in the main lobby right under "6-card freeroll" Weird.

Yes, through daily/weekly contests and promotions but don't expect anything big, some are exclusive for certain limits and game types. It is still possible to get affiliated with a new account but revenue is much much lower than it used to be

Ok cool so essentially it's not something I should be focused on - appreciate it. Also surprised by the amount of different accounts playing 5/10 on here. None of the same names as when I used to play and seems to be a high number of regs.. maybe it's just because this playerpool is bigger than I'm used to, I wonder how it's 5/10 rivals ACR as far as player count.

I'm confused by the site seemingly using the terms "free play" and "bonus" interchangeably. Are "free plays" the funds unlocked after bonus rollover requirements are met?


It says "All free plays expire in 30 days unless otherwise stated. At the 30 day mark, any unused free plays will disappear from your account" and ""12. Free plays and bonuses expire in 30 days. Any unused free plays at the 30-day mark will disappear from your account."... Does this mean I have 30 days to make the 10x rollover, or that 30 days to bet the funds unlocked once the rollover is achieved, or both all in the same 30 day period? Or a new 30 day period after the 10x rollover is met?



If I deposit 2000, giving me a 1000 bonus. That means I need to rollover 3000 10x, meaning I have to make 30000 worth of bets AND use my unlocked 1000 within 30 days?... Also it says "5. Baseball and Hockey handle will only contribute 50% towards bonus rollover due to reduced juice pricing.", so that would mean if I'm betting hockey primarily, it would be $60,000 worth of bets in 1 month?!



It seems like I should just use the 10% Bitcoin Boost, which says "5. The 10% boost is automatically added to your cash balance and not as a free play bonus." because there's only the rollover requirement with no timeline attached? Thanks for reading and any help
01-02-2023 , 09:04 PM
The free bonus is actual monopoly money. I'm pretty sure nobody has played through it before lifetime. The rules behind how you have to sports bet are also absurd lol.
01-03-2023 , 01:10 PM
It does sound absurd, although I'm not sure how this compares to other sportsbooks' bonus requirements? If you are familiar with bonus policies of BOL and in general, do you think the 10% Bitcoin boost makes the most sense given the absence of a time element?

Sending a pm to BetOnline Chris,

Been getting emails for a while from BetOnline for a while now, made a account a while back but never deposited or played there. Decided I would check it out after seeing some tournaments on a couple of twitch streams and I was able to log into the site but when I tried to go to the poker to check out the tournament schedule I'm getting a error saying Login Forbidden: Please contact support.

Anyone ever seen this? Lucky that I tried this before making a deposit seeing I'm able to log into the website and get to sportsbook and cashier and stuff just fine.

I had the same issue with my old Betonline account, but had no money locked in there and livechat wasn't really helping so just went on and created a new account on Sportsbetting, no issue ever since

But I remember it was weird, becase I was able to log in with the phone app, but website wouldn't let me

There is a phone app?
01-04-2023 , 11:14 PM
Yes, just go to their website and check poker category
01-05-2023 , 02:03 PM
Their mobile app is very well made. Also, the new software update for the desktop client is great!
