Anyone that knows anything about the bad beat jackpot at all casinos. Should have a understanding of the rules .It normally starts out with casino making player get four Jack's or better in order to win jackpot .How ever as the pot gets bigger and bigger the lowest minimum four of a kind continues to drop from jack all the way down to dueces. Also at some casinos a full house getting best can win jackpot . Not sure how many players have played poker at betonline? I wish that someone would have warned me about this company not paying big jackpot wins to certain players and paying to others .The others that do get paid big jackpots could actually be them posing as a player our hands are kind of tied in the online poker world and why fairness is more important than anything else . Betonline is not fair and will steal any players jackpot wins at any given time .I will tell you what happened to me ? Around 2pm on June 20 ,2019 .I played in a poker tournament at betonline and while I was playing my play was interuppted to tell me the bad beat jackpot card had ben lowered again and the pot was almost a million bucks .This got my blood stirring thinking about what I could do if I just won a little bit of that money .I would have ben happy just being a winner at one of the surrounding tables the jackpot was so high this time and the highest ever to date at betonline .So I started playing at 4:00pm and actually won the bad beat jackpot a few minutes later .My four tens was beaten bye a strait flush .Betonline still has not paid me for this big bad beat jackpot win .There only excuse is such a lie and so unbelievable that I can not even believe they attempted to not pay me .They have ben telling me that the card had not yet ben lowered from Jack's with almost a million bucks in pot ?The card had not only ben lowered once but five or six times at this point .The bad beat jackpot winner before me won with four fives and the jackpot amount being under half of what it was when I won. If there is someone that can help me get my winnings it would be appreciated .Betonline does not need to be in business if they are stealing good customers winnings .I have proof of emails sent from betonline to me stating that all though I did have a very bad beat the card had not ben lowered from Jack's yet . I have concrete proof the card was lowered more than once .There bad beat rules plainly state as the pot grows they make it easier to win bye lowering the card all the way down to dueces .The odds of hitting a bad beat jackpot are one in 2 million and betonline wants to steal this from me .This is and may already has cost them more money than they ever thought about owing me .Pad publicity and going viral will help to shut this site down if they cannot be fair .Thanks PS.my player number is B1597718 and poker screen name is Dale3380. My real name is Larry Young and I am 54 years old from Cincinnati Ohio but living in Brandon Ms.Thanks

You waited almost 5 years to post this?

I for one 100% believe this story. Who would wait 5 years then post a rambling incoherent single paragraph 48 line post if they were lying. Absolutely no one and therefore you have my complete belief and support. Betonline stole your jackpot. How dare they.

Paragraphs may have been invented since you first signed up pal.

so did you end up getting the money

I couldn't make it half-way through. If someone is going to take the time to type all of this incoherent nonsense, then at least try to make it understandable.

tada

livin like Larry Young

The main running the podcast also owns this site i think but not positive. I keep hearing th poker community sticks together .I need help with getting my bad beat jackpot winnings from betonline .I think betonline cheats a lot of customers out of money .The odds of winning the bad beat jackpot are one in 2 million .So how does betonline have multiple winners or back to back and if you look at winner videos on you tube then you will see a lot of the same people winning over and over .I am sure they may work for betonline and this is not a fair gambling casino .I June of 2019 the jackpot was the highest it had ever ben to that point when I was dealt two tens .I then flopped four of a kind and was beat bye a strait flush .Betonline has ben not paying me my winnings saying the card was not lowered from Jack's yet .This is not even remotely believable. They sent me a email stating that I did have a bad beat but the card was not lowered .I know for a fact the card was lowered that day and had ben lowered twice before this .The person that won the jackpot before me won with four fives and the jackpot was not even half of what it was when I won. They also sent me a link with betonline bad beat rules .I know the rules bye heart and they say the jackpot contest starts out at Jack's and is lowered as the jackpot gets bigger .When I won the jackpot had never ben that much so the card was lowered and betonline is trying to steal my money .I hope the man that does poker news blog will read this and help me bye posting the fact that I was ripped off and help me anyway possible. I will be more than happy to pay the man that does poker news at least five thousand if he can help me get my winnings.Thanks

Was there any table animation or anything like that after it hit?

do you know if the bbj lowered after your hand?

Did they say someone else won it before or after your hand? I figure they would send out an announcement or something as its good advertising.

Bit of a somewhat irrelevant story:
betonline f'd me hard around this time with a withdrawal limit change. There was that guy who lost like 1.5m playing nlh cash. Crazy fun times. Even not on his table the action was good bc everyones balances were so pumped up from this guy. I went to withdrawal and they had limited the max cashout to 3k a week! I had around 60 in there at this time and only ever withdrew like 20 as I lit my ahole on fire in their casino and lost chunk back in pokes.

anywho point being I could totally see them doing this and the timing sorta lines up with them having to pay out some huge bbj and not being able to cover player deposits after. I think around the time the guy was really torching it crypto had also taken a plunge so I always attributed the cashout limit to them wanting to wait for price to go up bc they're durpity durps and didnt transfer btc to usdt/fiat like I assume sites do. Does anyone know how that works Ive always wondered what they do.

OP were you on a Jackpot cash table? Tournaments and non BBJ tables don't count (Unless things have changed.) I remember playing freerolls around 2013 as a broke 20yr old on BOL and within a year I was sitting 5/10 6-max with 100k+ BR. Never made a deposit, nor did I ever have a problem withdrawing, they let me wire 15k/every 2 weeks. (Wish I would've taken BTC and hodled, I'd be rich, but the crypto space was new and I needed liquid.) And yes, I cut a check for 30k+ to the IRS that year.

I am not a high roller on any poker site but did play at a site called Betonline pretty regularly. When there bad beat jackpot pot would get real high would sometimes play cash games but mainly play tournaments. My player number is B1597718 and poker screen name is Dale 3380. In the summer of 2019 the bad beat jackpot was at a record high almost a million bucks when my quad tens lost to a strait flush .I should have won the jackpot but betonline continues to lye threw there teeth saying the card had not ben lowered from Jack's yet .Anyone that has ever played this contest knows the card starts getting lowered from Jack's at around a hundred thousand and keeps getting lowered until someone is paid .They broke in early that day with a ring tone saying the quads have ben lowered again .The person that won the jackpot before me won with quad fives and the pot was not even half of what it was when I won.Anyone that has ever played the bad beat jackpot at betonline knows they are just trying to get out of paying me and quad fours should have ben able to win the jackpot the day I did .Betonline telling me or anyone else the card was not lowered with the pot that high knows betonline is scamming people out of there jackpot winnings .The card is always lowered as the pot gets bigger this is the rules and betonlines rules .I wanted to ask if poker news reads this please make it go viral so people will know what a scam site betonline is thanks.

how much did you win?

I'll get right on it.

Sounds like they changed their policy to jack up the amount of the BBJ.

sounds like you were one jack off

Dale Gribble?

Possible explanations: it was a non-BBJ cash table, it was a tournament hand, the pot wasn't large enough to count (there is sometimes a limit that states you have to put in 10BB or so BEFORE hitting the hand), not enough people were dealt in the hand, quad tens wasn't in fact enough and the limit was quad jacks (and it had dropped from queens to jacks in the last update?), one of the players wasn't playing both two hole cards (losing on QJTTT with T2o to royal isn't a jackpot hand) OR the explanation you want: you were scammed.

That's quite a few options, I don't know which of these happened.

he speaks more like boomhauer

This thread might be more suitable for Brags Beats and Variance than it is for News Views and Gossip... 2019 is an epoch ago in the online poker world.

Brag: used "epoch" in a sentence.

Beat: can find nothing better to do right now than post on 2+2.

So this happened 5 years ago and you are just now talking about it?

Have you been actively trying to collect on it for 5 years and it took you this long to realize they are not paying you? I am really confused here as I would assume they have paid that jackpot out to someone else as well as many others since then. That money is long gone if so. Did the other guy get paid and or did her get stiffed too? Have you both been working together on this?

So many questions, lol,........

How many times are you going to post this? It was five years ago you're not getting paid.

Man I thought I was lazy. If hundreds of thousands doesn't get you moving faster, I don't know what will.

I did not wait five years to post this hear .I did post at other sites when this happened. I seriously think the negative comments are people that work for betonline .I do not have any reason to make anything like this up .I actually gave up on it if you want to know the truth. I then had someone tell me that the winner of the hand was paid. I would only play when the pot would get high hoping that I might get lucky. I also had someone else tell me that the only way I might get them to give me my winnings is to go public on ever social media and poker forum site that I can find. I play a lot of poker but have not ben on forums like this much. Anyone that was playing the bad beat jackpot at betonline in 2019 knows that every time the pot would get up around 200,000 they would lower the qualifying hand from Jack's and keep going down every 50,000 until they reached fours or somebody won .I know for a fact the card was lowered just a couple hours before I started playing cash games .After 30 minutes of playing was dealt pocket tens .Then flopped a four of a kind was not even thinking about bad beat jackpot .I thought there is no way I can lose with four of a kind and went all in.Lost to a strait flush and was upset at first then remembered I won bad beat jackpot .Betonline congratulated me at first then sent me a email saying you did have a really bad beat but the card was not lowered from Jack's and this was the biggest pot ever to that point at betonline .I knew they where just trying to scam me out of my money .Part of the reason might be that whoever is responsible for resetting the graffiti and little party thing they have every time someone wins did not do this and this makes betonline look good so they may have just decided to try and screw me so next winner can have the sign fall down like it does but they are lying threw there teeth and have a lot of players backing me saying the card had ben lowered at least twice .The previous winner won with quad fives and only 400,000 on pot this proves they start lowering card as fast as they can.They changed the rules later that year saying quad fours is where it starts instead of Jack's because they want more people to win more often .But the people they want to win is there people or bots .How could someone win twice or back to back ?Watch videos on you tube you will see same people getting piece of pot money almost every time .Betonline has done this in the past. The way people get there winnings is to tell the truth betonline will try and pull a fast one if you let them.Saying the card was not lowered with the pot that high is not believable. They act like they can not wait to lower card and do it every 50,000.And chimed in the day I won saying jackpot is now easier to win because card is lowered. Another reason that I have not done anything to try and get my money back in a while is because my wife died of over 20years right after this happened. Also get tired of hearing people that betonline has paid off making negative comments when they probably never played a bad beat jackpot in the first place .I do know this the players that where playing the year I won all completely agree that betonline is telling a big fat lie saying card was not lowered. They make themselves look like idiots referring me to bad beat jackpot rules .Because the rules work in my favor .They plainly state as the pot grows the jackpot gets easier to win bye lowering the card .The pot was the highest its ever ben so no doubt what so ever the card had ben lowered two or 3 times when I won .There statement card had not ben lowered hold no truth and everyone knows its bullshit .But they still have not paid me .J quite playing there after they screwed me out of my winnings .I know have a lawyer the Nevada gaming commission and some other people helping me .I would advise people to stay away from betonline they will try and take your jackpot winnings and its not just me they did this to 3 or 4 other players that I know of .I think they bank on there bots winning .Thanks
