Thanks for that information Fossil! That's really good to hear. While I will continue to criticize them for how they handle bots, they also deserve lots of credit when it comes to adding things like CloudFlare, different crypto options, and Two Factor Authentication.

Scam site. all sng tournaments are infected with colluders, all, in cash games bots more than people, security servise (if it exists at all) doing nothing, really nothing. Even a strong professional is unlikely to win. I cash out ang go. Go to hell, chico poker, without me. I advise everyone to do the same, maybe this will make them change their minds

let these *******s play with themselves

What sort of rakeback is available for here? Having a tough time finding deals, if any.

Also, anyone have recent cashouts go smoothly?

zero rakeback program for chico. they offer very little in regards to paying their players back.

also, i would avoid their version of jackpot poker. reason being they have contests for everything else, as a way to accumulate points. weekly sng top 10s, mtts, cash games, etc. however, they make a killing on windfall (jackpot poker) and they offer zero for their players. kind of a joke if you ask me.

Maybe you legitimately didn't know there was RB, but please refrain from making false posts about a site just because you have other reasons to dislike the site. That is not constructive and helps no one.

Medium size rakeback (but high rake) and fast cashouts, but in this case it does not matter and only helps scammers

not sure where you picked up that I "dislike" the site. I don't always agree with how things are done on the site, but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

so this is what i Found:

Betonline does not offer rakeback or VIP rewards, however the games are recreational-player heavy which can make up for the lack of cashback. Many casual players (‘fish’) flow in from the Betonline’s casino, sportsbook and racebook. US players from every state are accepted on this Chico Network skin.

This site does not give two craps about its customers. I called them and the dude just said basically that he was just a parrot. That he could do nothing for me or explain anything. The details really are not important, you can tell they do not give a ****.

Two Plus Two doesn't allow us to ask for rakeback in the threads. They have a Rakeback Request Form if you're looking for rb. If the site you're looking to get rb for isn't a participating member in these forums you'll need to see if you can find rb elsewhere. The Chico sites have no official rb program at this time. They don't even have a representative that actively participates in their own thread anymore.

As for requests in threads like this, they usually get deleted as there's no point having requests that aren't allowed to be responded to.

Ok. You have posted very negatively about the site in the past for other reasons. My bad for making an assumption.

I'd like to bring attention to an odd issue I discovered the other day.



As you can see in this screenshot of the "medium" stakes PLO lobby, at the 2/4 level, there is a PLO Hi game running, with 4/6 seats occupied. There is no additional, empty, 2/4 PLO Hi table, despite there being 2 open, empty PLO8 tables.

As you can see I have "hide: empty" unchecked, and I checked my filters, and they are set to default (which includes all table types).

I have noticed the same issue at the FR 1/2 PLO Hi tables. You cannot open a second table until 9/9 players are seated at the first one, and you cannot open a third until 18/18 players are seated at the first two.

Anyone else noticed this? I spoke to support about it the other day, and she appeared to claim it had been fixed, and told me to log back in, but I was grinding at the time, and subsequent times I've played since then, I've noticed the same issue, just as before.

Well...
I noticed multiple progressive knockout tournaments.

This is the first USA site offering Progressive KO tournaments.

Pretty cool.

Just tried to deposit on BOL for the 200% reload bonus, and my BOA Visa debit card was rejected . Don't know whether this is an issue related to Chico/BOL's recent problems or something new with my bank. I searched the 2+2 forums to see if there was any discussion about this, but didn't get any hits

I've used this card for at least 6 years on multiple online poker sites without no problem, and deposited successfully on BOL about three weeks ago. Recently used it to purchase other things and have checked my account online, so I know there's no problem with the card itself or the balance. Somewhere around 2009-2012 you couldn't deposit with Visa on most online betting sites, but as I said I've not had any problems for a long time.

I'm wondering if BOA is starting to crack down on some things which they previously allowed. Recently they did something I thought was a little strange. I logged into my account, and it said I needed to re-verify all of my personal information. It showed my info which was all correct, but they added a new question asking whether you have duel citizenship with any other country. It was a required answer. I 'assume' BOA is asking this from all their customers, since there should be absolutely no reason to target me personally. I was born, raised, and have spent virtually 100% of my life in the US, except for a couple of vacation trips to Mexico, and taking several cruises that visited various Caribbean ports.

I'm going to call BOL customer service and see what they have to say. I see they have a new "Voucher" program, where you buy a voucher from them and then they redeem it. Maybe that will work, if my Visa won't. I'll report back what I find out.

3 PLO50 tables running currently:

1 is 3-handed, all 3 are bots
1 is 2-handed, both are bots
1 is 5-handed, 3 are bots

They've been playing HU and 3-handed against each other a lot lately, I wonder how much longer they can keep it up trading money back and forth for BOL to rake. Sucks for the PLO ecosystem b/c any new PLO players are just gonna get slaughtered by bots right away.

Third time was the charm ! Deposit went through, although I did get a warning from BOA about "Possible unauthorized debit card usage" and had to confirm that I made the transaction. That's no biggie though. Guess I'll have to blame the two failed tries on the Mercury Retrograde , lol.

BTW, Customer Service/Live Chat was no help. They just told me that my bank had declined the transaction, which usually means that the card isn't set up for international use. I explained several times that I've used the same card on their site previously as well as on other sites, but they just kept repeating the same thing, and said to call my bank to get the card to accept international transactions.

I always tell people to bypass any of BOL's deposit bonuses and offers due to the hoops they want you to jump through. Have you cleared BOL's bonus before, and then actually cashed out? Are you still required to play X-amount of dollars in their casino or sportsbook before you are allowed to cash out due to accepting the bonus agreement?

Watch out on your bank statement, they overcharged me double the 6.5 percent. It was closer to 13, I contacted them and they did fix but they do it everytime. They don't seem or want to fix the problem. They told me it was exchange rate issue. Also you will not be able to receive a payout till a week after your last deposit. They won't tell me why, and I can't figure out any good reason to delay payment. Like any gambling site it's just shady.
Oh yes and omaha is full of bots, enjoy that.

Yes! I was looking at them yesterday and it looks like install was perfect. Table still looks good also. Was a smart move to add this format.

Things should be looking really good for BOL these days.

I just provided BetOnline Poker Support with my updated Bot List from NLHE .10/.25, .25/.50, .50/1.00 Cash Games. I know at least a couple of them play at least as high as 1/2. I'm certain of 42. I suspect another 7 that I didn't give them yet. I've removed the few that have been inactive for a while. I've grouped them into 9max, 6max, and 4max as they only play one of the formats at a time. If anyone who plays in these games would like the updated list then send me a private message with your nickname on the network.
