I guess you can afford to be all that if you just rob winners willy nilly.

That's horrible. Surely there's an avenue for you to dispute this? Do excuse me if this is naive but have you approached SBR about it?

Even when you chat with them they ask for your password. The first time I contacted them I refused to do it and told them this was a terrible security issue. They insisted several times and finally they told me my own password. Incredible.

Is 5Dimes still OK for US players? I've had an account there for years, made a few deposits, never withdrew lol. Want to make another deposit, but not sure if there is a better option?

If only there was some kind of identifying information they could use to confirm it was you besides that which you use to log in to access an account containing several thousands of dollars which can be gambled away in a manner of minutes.

Passwords should not be known by anyone besides you. Not even administrators. The fact they know your password shows they store all passwords unencrypted (or at least encrypted in a reversible way) which is absolutely wrong. There are many other ways to authenticate users, such as asking some personal details as most banks do when you call them, sending a pin to your registered cellphone or email, etc.

Wait, they didnt authenticate you, and then literally read your password to you over the phone?

Yes (it was chat, not phone). I refused to say my password several times. I seems he got upset and finally said: "ok. Anyway. Your password is xxxxx". Which was correct.

To be fair, Pinnacle/Bookmaker/BetOnline all take respectable bets and basically have never missed a payout. 5dimes/Heritage/Bovada will cut limits fast but also always pay unless you are super obviously bearding. And if you just bet football (European) there are like 5-10 Asian books that take huge bets and always pay.

Finally although Nitrogen has stiffed me and others I still play there...they still usually pay, just gotta win enough to make up for the stiffs.

Went back to visit family in U.S and made an account with youwager.eu. Obvious didn't have a U.S phone number so borrow my dad to make account. Ran it up and cash out once w BTC before going back oversea(play poker for living). Before that call CS to change number with a skype one . Apparently skype number will show up differently when you call toll free number. They were giving me hard time until I told them to just call me to prove it still me and got a another cash out w BTC before warning I need a legit numbers to cash out with BTC. What my play now that I ran it up some more? They seem super aggressive talking to me every time I ask for a cash out.

Which of the UK bookies take any action these days anymore?

I remember betting ~€1,000 at Boylesport, now it seems they don't take anything more than ~€300.

I remember betting €500 at Stan James a few years ago, now it seems they don't take anything more than €200.

Of Boylesport, Stan James, Coral, Ladbrokes, Betvictor, Betway, Skybet, bwin can any of them take a bet over €1,000?

SportsOptions lists them at +4200 on CRIS but when I log into my clone account it has +2250, which seems more in line with the rest of the world but this account has had different offerings before for some reason. Hertiage apparently has +2900
