Bet365 deecreased my betting imit

[same_old]

A new angle...

During testing of sportsbook platforms, mostly Margin Maker and OpenBet, at various operators over the years, I've been in the position to glean the 'mark up' on my own accounts. (I'd like to add that those accounts were closed prior to any testing work!)

Over the years I've seen some totally inaccurate mark up notes against my old accounts regarding account closure or restrictions. Some classics are:

Swindon Mob
Bad Each Way Player
Plays Betfair market Movers
Arber

In reality I'm just a casual sportsbook punter, and non of the above!

Its been a long held belief of mine that about 60% of mark up notes and restriction reasons are totally incorrect knee jerk reactions by traders. Operators are literally turning away money.

A recent example is a UK betting coup a few weeks back by trainer Barney Curley. It was just nonsense that regular punters were bulk marked and restricted for winning in many cases, less than £100. Some operators even voided bets using the draconian 'syndicated betting' rule. But thats another matter.

If operators just took the trouble to spend like five minutes to check a players' history instead of a knee jerk reaction, then they're not losing a customer.

I couldnt agree with you more- they arent boomkaersd anymore in the true sence,they are number crunchers and it's all about the stats etc.

What they dont seem to understand is that pplp do win on occasion.

Hi, Kate,

This is very interesting to me. I was thinking of joining bet365 and doing some sportsbook betting there. It seems, on the first glance, that your quotes are okay.

But, I ran into "my bets are being limited" complaint on online forums a couple of times, enough to get me thinking. Examples are as drastic as getting limited to 5 eur per bet (!) on such matches as Champions' League soccer.

For instance, I ran into a guy who was wagering with bet365 for a couple of years, and connected two, as he called them, "stronger" winning singles. Upon my query as to what does he mean by stronger, is that 5000 eur perhaps, he said - no - those were two 50 eur singles. And he was still, overall, losing to bet365.
Yet after those two he got limited to 1 eur per bet (!).

Signing up for your 15% bonus means I'd have to deposit something like 3000 euros. Also, you have some playthrough requirement before I can withdraw for the first time. I'd have to first wager it all three or four times. The exact numbers aren't as important as the other of magnitude.

So, what it adds up to, and what I was thinking about, is this - after depositing and having 3500-4000 eur on the account, I am left with a 12000 eur playthrough.
After placing a couple of 100 or 200 or 300 eur bets, and hopefully getting them right - I get limited to 5, or 10, eur per bet.
So that leaves me with what..... a thousand more bets before I can finally withdraw?

I was wondering if you could shed some light to that picture cause it seems pretty grim.

My advice to you is to stay away from bet365 as that is what they did to me. I joined because of a %100 bonus up $200. Guess what happened as I was just getting to a point of rolling my deposit over my max bet was reduced to almost nothing but they do allow me to bet $10.00 on low odds.

They will cut your bets down so they do not have to pay up the offered bonus.

As far as I can see if Bookies has to offer a bonus to get your business stay away.

Cheers
