Betonline, Deposit Rip off

I almost always play with Bookmaker, betdsi, and 5dimes, but i recently took a chance with Betonline as their bonus seemed enticing.   I made the mistake of using a  CC to deposit and immediately lost over 12% on my money just on the deposit.  I did receive the "bonus"  which basically means that i can not withdraw for 30 days.     I will AVOID this book forever because  its the first time I've actually lost real money to a book without placing a Wager.  I'll stick with Bookmaker and 5dimes, companies at least see the big picture when they deal with long time customers like myself.   

They get everybody the first time with that. Welcome to the club.

Thanks,  it was an inexpensive lesson.  I usually just stick to 5dimes and bookmaker/betdsi  but went off the reservation this one time.  The fault lies with me as I should have known better as an experienced bettor. 

i complained and they gave me some nonsense and usual garbage. like maybe id like to deposit using another method after robbing me.  lmao.  I've been playing for years and just more upset over the Con than the actual money.     I'm just posting here to warn Folks about these clowns.  I'll reload my big deposits with Bookmaker and Betdsi.    Those guys just credit my account with any minor complaints.   They realize the value of a long time customer and don't quibble over fees.   All these little things add up when you are evaluating an offshore book.   I try to treat these books with respect and courtesy and I expect the same in return.  It's hard to win consistently in gambling, but even more difficult when a book subtracts money from you before an Actual Wager is placed.

If you think depositing there is circus wait till you try to get a payout

You should see the email exchange.  It's unbelievable.  They asked me to send a bank statement with the extra fees charged to my card.  I asked them why i would do that as its not worth giving my financial information for a little amount of money.    It's really the principle at this point and I'm not looking to get $20-30 in fees to my account.

I then simply asked them to delete and close my account and never contact me again via email or regular.     I thought that was a simple and easy request, but they asked me to send a  request on letterhead  in writing with my address and signature, scan it and take a Picture too.     The only thing they did not ask for was my social security number.      They apparently they needed all the info just to close an account and for them to contact me again.   I could only imagine what a nightmare it might have been to try a withdrawal.    I've been on Covers since 2002 and dealt with just about everything, but this is just  classic!

I just tipped my hat to them for a good scheme. It was actually a good thing for me because it taught me not to use CC and just send money which I much prefer.

Outside of that little trick of theirs, I have found them to be pretty good to work with.

 bookmaker does the same thing .
