Omaha tournaments are in the works. I'm not sure of a fixed date but, I believe it should be before June. There's no plans for different types of games right now.

No US players get checks? Just need to know if their issued from Canada or not. Thanks!

Hi Tiffany,

The weekly Sit ‘n Go Leaderboard Challenge page is out of date and still lists the monthly prizes and dates.

Also, did the point totals reset to start from Monday like they are supposed to?

I have played for years now on BetOnline and have participated in every sit n go challenge since you started them a couple of years back. This month I start out as I normally do, and then find out you guys have changed the challenge to weekly. Well ok fine except you had the leaderboard reading monthly for the first few days of the challenge. Whether you realize it or not this is info I would have liked to know from the beginning. I had contacted live chat on the 1st to make sure the challenge was running, the reply was yes not yes but we are changing it to weekly. Now I'm not even sure if the first couple of the days of the month were counted toward the weekly challenge, if not then thanks for wasting my time.

Do you guys trust this site to have a truly random card generator? Is there any certificate to prove this? Has anyone made a consistent profit on this site? Thoughts?

if it weren't "truly random", how would that impact one's ability to make a consistent profit?

I suppose from the cards consistently not going your way? River cards being changed in favor of the action player to induce higher rakes. Just a theory. It wouldn't necessarily mean the cards aren't random. . the cards COULD be random at first, and the river card can be "skipped" a few times until the right card for the action player comes out. I've seen the game lag right before the river comes out way too many times, and a sick card following it. It really wouldn't be the first time a site has proven to do some tricks to rake in more cash. And who's to stop them? They aren't regulated, are they? This isn't a hate rant. I sincerely am curious about others thoughts on this. I personally have made consistent money on this site. But it seems to me there are times when things just smell too fishy, almost predictable in my opinion.

So, the spread of your win rate would really be affected overall, and that could mean a winning player turning into a losing one if it isn't that high to begin with. . . thoughts?

I don't think that a RNG that is simply not truly random, in itself, makes much of a difference. After all cards shuffled in live games aren't truly random.

When people complain that a RNG isn't random, though, what they are usually saying is that it is rigged in such a way that the worse hand has a better chance than it should of winning by the river. So it is rigged in such a way that makes it harder for skilled players to beat the rake and keeps rec players in the games longer for the site to take more of their rake.

It isn't an impossible theory, but it's a theory that can be and would need to be proven true statistically. Plenty of people have decided that RNGs for various sites are rigged due to bad beats that they've experienced but it's all subjective. No one has proven any of the sites to have rigged RNGs. A lot of new players just don't realize how bad they are at playing poker, so they assume that something nefarious is afoot.

I'm sorry about that, we've had some delays with our developers getting the new information live on the website.

This promotion started on April 4th so anything played from April 1st to April 3rd wouldn't be part of it.

Thanks Tiffany. I notice the player point numbers on the BOL leader board appear to still include games from April 1st to April 3rd, while the numbers on the TG leader board appear to have been reset starting from April 4th.

I made a deposit and THEY put in a deposit code for the deposit. Now they are saying I can't get the deposit bonus because the deposit code has to be empty and they won't let me withdraw my money. I feel conned and robbed. anything I can do?



here is their response:
Hi Paul,

Thank you for your response. I hope this email finds you well.

Please be advised that in order to claim the first deposit bonus, NO bonus code must be used for your first deposit.

As per our terms and conditions, a player may not have more than one active bonus on their account at a time, and a deposit may not have more than one bonus applied to it.

Would there be any interest/benifit in starting a thread dedicated to organizing times to play the steps sngs? I have a ton of POP points and wanna get SOME value outta them, but the higher steps don't seem to run often. I just wanna play a bunch of the $50k step 4 6max 3,630 POP buy in. It pays 9,900 promo$ which equals $99.00 in MTT buy ins.

Better then just letting them collect and getting zero value outta them IMO

Edit- I'll be playing later tonight, if people wanna fire up a table of the SNGs while playing ur normal session post itt I guess for now

I would escalate the issue, and not give up after one reply. Explain the situation calmly, and have patience - they should do the right thing in the end.

I'd be in for this in the future but not tonight. Think I have 200k+ pops and don't mind donating in tourneys once in a while

I might be around tonight, but I'd be down in the future for sure. Maybe it's easiest to just have a set time each week to meet up for POP tournaments and maybe post a reminder in this thread the day before. Either Friday nights or maybe Sunday afternoons.

This is a pretty great idea. I'd be able to do this Sunday afternoon if enough people are available. If these tables reload as soon as one starts, we can 8-10 table these until people use up all their POP points.

I have but they keep saying I put the bonus code in when I didn't. So I will just play until the $22 rake is paid and they'll never see my money again

I'd much prefer we do this as well. 370K POP here. While I don't think BOL would have a problem just going all-in first hand every time, I'd like to confirm with Tiffany/BOL first.

POP Points accrue from 1st April to 31st March each POP year. POP accrued in each POP year remains valid until 30th June of the next POP year, at which point it expires and is forfeited. POP Points accrued as part of a deposit bonus promotion will not count towards your final POP total and the value of these POP will be deducted before the remaining POP can be used in other promotions.
