Bet365 Shut Me Out

[evdaily]

Has anyone else gotten this message from Bet365 before, "Due to the nature of your business, a decision has been made to close your account with immediate effect. Any existing unsettled bets will remain open on your account and will be settled in the normal way. You may withdraw the existing balance on your account in the usual manner."

I started getting killed there towards the end of the college bball season and did terrible throughout the whole baseball regular season which they were more than fine since they kept giving me free bet credits. etc. I started doing better once football season started up in September. I guess you can't even have one good month (where I had a good September) there until they cut you off. Actually they limited me to $20 sides/$40 totals for NFL and $60 sides/$40 totals for NCAAF on September 30th but I kept playing there even with those limits. I won a little bit more and then on Monday I got the message listed above and that was it.

Most book would just limit you down to $10 or something like that.

They’ve operated in this fashion for 20 years now, whether it be in Australia, UK, or elsewhere. A losers only operation.

Thanks for the reply. They basically did that for 16 days (ie. substantially lowered my limits) and then sent me that message and that was it.

Thank you for replying to my message. Do you know if any books use the same odds source as bet365 or have similar live odds?

No I don’t know of any shop that clones B365 lines.

No, Bet365 is in no way connected to the Bookmaker family.

Open at all the books and try them all out.

They're called Bet £3.65 for a reason.
I've had this message from plenty other UK books. 365 just slashed my limits but they still allow me to have an account with them.
Seems harsh to close your account, if they didn't like your football action they could have just slashed your limits on football and let you bet on other sports.
What they also could have done, assuming you are good and not just on a lucky run, they could have let you continue to play at low limits on football and adjusted their odds based on your action. Would have been valuable information to them at a very small cost.
But nothing you can do really once they've made their mind up.

Thanks for the reply caramba. Exactly, they won't let me bet anymore but they allow me to continue to log into my account even though I can't bet anything. I had winning months there last fall (October, November, December) but was never limited and was actually given free bet credits where I recall them giving me $100 in free bet credits on more than one occasion and $50 free bet credits many times. Then I basically got destroyed towards the end of the CBB season and the MLB season didn't go well either (which was fine then). I think what might have done it is the volume of bets I made during the NCAAF and NFL season. Like I was saying, I had good months in November, December last year and wasn't limited. But you're right, they have made up their decision and nothing you can do.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think it could hurt to ask for some input.

All the A+ listed books are good for what you are looking for. Bovada might limit you pretty fast.

Bookmaker, I see them take over $100k live betting. But most are $200-300 mult rebets.
