TIA just wondering if they limit sharp action and what the timeframe for payouts are
Payout for me was insanely quick

I hit a $6k masters future at Bet105 and was paid in less than an hour with very little KYC

I’ve seen other reports of folks getting paid in 15-20 minutes

They didn’t limit me after I won their money either

They are paying fast and offer some of the best soccer odds around.

Paid me 8k with no run around.

Overall - I like them. They stumbled a bit on mid grading and then regrading correctly a tennis wager for me days later - but made it right. Can’t ask for anything more than a book that doesn’t mess around and credits even when they are technically in the right on a mistake.

I play there and have no issues with using them.

Browsing their T&C, some concerning items:

11. All accounts inactive after 365 days are deemed closed, and account balances are forfeited.

(Usual behavior is to temporarily zero out the balance, not confiscate it.)

15. Accounts with aggregate winnings of more than $5,000 are considered to be playing on ‘house money’. Customers deemed to be playing with ‘house money’ may not be eligible for special promotions or perks provided by SITE.

(Fair enough on losing access to perks, but why should a player be playing on 'house money' just by being up $5k? Seems like the phrasing of a non-serious book.)


What kind of wagering limits does this book offer on MLs and sides?

NBA Sides/Totals I’m at 30k

MLB ML’s 7500 (1k overnight)

Soccer is 1500 - 5k (varies)

The balance forfeiture rule likely written for small balances - no book wants to pay to keep an active user who left 5 cents in their account and is inactive. Assuming you were in a coma for a year or otherwise unable to access a fortune you left on deposit there - only to re-appear on day 367 - I’m guessing they have a record of the balance and work with the client on a case by case scenario.

And as to the “house money” rule

Actually I’ve experienced much tighter behavior at rec books - basically if your up $1 - no bonus/promo for you until account returns to the red.

5k is a fair buffer to allow you to take advantage of some nice little promos and occasional reup offers they give. Honestly - if your betting at a pro level - losing out on $30 free plays or the occasional 10% free play up to $500 with 10x RO shouldn’t bother you.

Said it before - soccer lines are some of the best and reduced juice and decent overnights for MLB with a fair limit. Oh and they payout higher limits and super quickly.

Is bet105 part of Heritage sports? these sites have similar UI. Btw, Heritage sucks.

They say no - just the same software.

Not sure I completely believe it myself - Heritage is now ran by same group behind WagerWeb - seems to make sense that they have a recreational facing line of business and a reduced vig face - with Heritage serving as a hybrid of both.

I agree Heritage has became less generous - at least to winners/larger than rec bettors (5k plus a game type players). That said - if your someone who plays for a few hundred and otherwise would be using one of the apps in the US - Heritage is an amazing value.

Yes - some of their customer service sucks at times - but 8th deposit back, cash back, crypto insurance and contest make it very much one of the best books out there. Bet105 customer service has been great to me and the fee free payouts and high limits are amazing in this market - plus some of the best lines for soccer and big games.

I'm surprised they say no now. They admitted it on another forum a year or so ago, that they were trying to move their customer base to 105, this was also during a time when Heritage really wasn't accepting new clients, even though Wager Web was. Now, as you mentioned, Heritage is not the Heritage we knew from many years ago, still would recommend them but their limits on markets have gone way down to mimic domestic books but I think it still has value. 105 is my go to when I'm just looking for value on a mainline play, even 'cheaper' than Bookmaker. Once you lose the reduced juice of Bookmaker and the BetPoints are a distant memory, 105 might be the best book pound for pound on major sport markets with high limits and great lines.

The only thing that really beats their price right now, even with fees baked in, are trading with PolyMarket and Kalshi.
