Hi Devo,

I just saw the message, It was not my intention to encourage or discourage you. I was only trying to help get you an official response regarding the hand.
I thought that it was pretty clear in the private message that I sent on the weekend, that it was only you who lost connection and we were just waiting for final confirmation.

I wish there was more that I could do, but it seems it was just extremely misfortunate.

Kind regards

Mike

Yeah I emailed their response to SBR since they did reach out to me. Hopefully they can help. Yeah Polk Ingram and anyone else willing are next on my list. Appreciate all the help and support everyone.

Wow, that's ballsy.

Devo, I retweed your post on twitter. If I was you, I would do some searching on here about BetOnline's shady past of confiscating player balances and how those players were able to get it back and do what they did.

I've never played there because of all the shady things they've done, and this certainly doesn't help. They shouldn't be allowed to have a sponsored forum, furthermore, people should know they are playing "games" with their money.

I also agree we've got to get Joey and Doug on this ASAP

You were clear and I stated that above, thought I made it pretty clear on how it wasn’t my connection with the second video. It’s all good mike you don’t control any of this so I have no reason to connect with you anymore. Thanks for your time

I'm not trying to be funny by posting this... but...

I'm posting this because it wouldn't be the first time someone has went off the deep end as a result of being financially screwed through no fault of their own.

Shame on BETONLINE. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

They are well aware of their network issues and they refuse to do a damn thing about it.

Yeah don’t worry about me, life’s not always easy but it is worth living. I appreciate the sentiment though. Depression and suicide are very real and I’m thankful those are two things I don’t battle with.

Devo. Create a thread on sbr in the sportsbook section.

The more people that hear about this, the better.

Seems like such an easy spot to just award the BBJ and then move it back to whatever it would be after being hit normally. They don't have to gift any money out of pocket besides what's already in the BBJ and get a big PR win and build some goodwill.

Of course this decision is no surprise to anyone following BetOnline's decisions over the past couple years. Most have been mind numbingly poor as of late.

Another BetOnline BS decision: When coronavirus closed all sports they instituted a weekly cashout limit of $3000. I suppose it made sense b/c there was probably a run on cashouts from sports bettors for a couple days. They instituted it under the pretense that limits would return to normal once cashier activity went back to normal, but instead they just decided to keep that limit in place. So high stakes players and players with big BBJ scores or MTT scores have to wait months and months to get their money off the site.

Sickening. I feel for you OP. Fight my man, fight. Good luck.

Guess the rumor for years of betonline only letting house accouts win the bbj are more than just rumors. They just won't payout the bbj to a real player.

More theft.

That's extremely concerning... and to me, it actually DOESN'T make sense.

If players funds are segregated, players funds are safe. If players funds are safe, then they should be available for withdrawal.

How do we even know that BetOnline is solvent?

Mods should really kick these guys off this forum. This incident and the 3 others reported in this thread should be enough to see how scummy they are.

I don’t think Chase Thunder likes this response BOL.... do the right thing or I’ll give him a call.

If the bbj funds were segregated this seems like an easy fix for BOL.. it doesn’t surprise me one bit that they would rule this way though.. I hope Joey or someone helps here.

If you d/c on your side then I think you are drawing dead.

If you can prove that wasn't the case you have a good chance of getting your money.

Fvck. Im not even involved in this theft. But its really eating at me because it could have been me, since I was a betonline customer.

Seems like BOL would at least shoot this kid 10k to move on. Something feels very off about this whole situation.

Justice for playing trash hands trying to suck out on quads.

Where are these links to rumors of them only paying house accounts the bbj jackpot?

How often in the previous week or so had you been getting DCed before this hand?

I don't really see how this is theft from BOL. DCs happen on Betonline, i see a lot of players DC when playing. It sucks, but I think it's the right call.

Scumbags.... and this Mike guy even comes here with that reply making it seem like it was a positive resolution, I'd be absolutely FUMING if I was you and saw his reply here before the email.

Disgusting.

It is obviously the right call he got disconnected and folded the turn in a 3 way hand that went to showdown at the river. If there is a bunch of proof of shady **** out there like the blackjack video, I'd certainly be willing to change my mind.

+1, Chase Thunder is the only man for the job.

This is ****ing unreal

There is no way 2+2 can continue business with bol

Sue the **** out of them. Crowdfund it. Make them lose more $ defending this then they will make winning their own next bad beat jackpot.

****ing thieves

They cheated you, they cheated other people in the past, they will do it in the future.

Withdrawal your funds

**** that site

Only if you lack the ability to think critically.

BetOnline has zero proof that the player's disconnect was due to their internet connection and not due to a bug in their client side software.

BetOnline is 100% certain that the player intended to see the hand to completion once the turn card was revealed as the player had the mortal nuts.

The BBJ was hit. BetOnline can't demonstrate that it wasn't entirely their fault that the straight flush was folded. Therefore they should pay.
