Buddy of mine asked me about this shop. Zero idea, never heard of them. I guess someone reached out to him with 200% cash, 15x roll, which sounds too good and honestly scares me.

Anyone use this shop or have any thoughts on them?

Just a run of the mill PPH site. Could be anyone operating it.

BAUS

Fair enough. Bookmaker becomes my recommendation instead. Very likely a much better experience and still good enough start up bonus...

gonna give it a try, i'll report back

GL....let us know. Curious on this one. I haven't had them reach out to me but my buddy is still considering it mainly for the 250%. That steers me right away.

 

[Miz]

as long as the rollover is decently high, nothing to be scared by

15x on 250% is low per industry standards. Coupled with low juice...probably not sustainable

 

[Miz]

fair point. probably should be more like 30x-40x

I give a try too. Together either we cry or enjoy the cash

a buddy of mine is trying to get a payout and is getting the run around. Not a good sign. I have a small balance there, but i now consider that probably gone. Likely a deposit only "book". He is supposed to find out Sunday he said (pretty long time). I'll let you know how he fares. Was worth a try. Has nice lines but if they don't pay then , no good.

I discovered that there are many restrictions on what it counts on the rollover. Min/max odds apply and only US major sports count to rollover - even soccer does not count. I would prefer 30x allowing everything for the rollover instead.

Anyhow, I hit a good run on them and they applied some restrictions already. Max bets decreased to $200-1000.
I expressed my concerns and they assured they will restore the restrictions. None change yet after a day.

Apparently, I support that limits should stay untouched during rollover.
The positive thing I can see on this is a risk management by their side with the final desire to pay the customer. A scam shop may leave the limits untouched while customer stays unpaid at the end of the day.

Live chat or mail support responds with a delay of many hours/a day.

All in all, I m not feeling super comfortable in this place.
Let's see...

let me know if you get paid. After what my friend told me, i give it about a 25% chance that they will pay out. The only thing that makes me think they might pay is that they changed your limits and did other things in response to your betting/results. In a real free roll situation they wouldn't care what you did, and they'd probably leave it wide open hoping you'd lose it back.

i have a text message guy that i interact with. he is pretty fast

Yes. This exactly. I agree

I will let you know. It ll take time though.
Forgot to mention they removed handicap/total markets too. Only moneyline available.

My buddy went into Bookmaker, but I threw $200 in here for the hell of it. Just got a text that my account has been confiscated because of using bots or being a professional. Never have used a bot, and honestly, the action I threw at them was far from sharp (call it a "fun" account for a few bucks on the side). Said I would get a refund of the original amount within 30 days. Sure...whatever. Figured that was a very distinct possibility. Crazy part is I played about as square action as can be and was down to around $325, just confirming I should stick to top down, but always fun to have a couple throwaway type bets because a game is on type of plays.

Basically just grabbed $200 for themselves. Stay away.

 

[btcfan]

Let me share a nice part of the text...

"you have broken down the company policies (bot or pro action). We will never get back to you, this is a final decision."

They should just say we pocketed your cash. No reason to send this BS. That's fine. I am not surprised.

 

[Miz]

they stiffed my buddy too. same types of accusations. along w threats. i had a few bucks in there and i consider it monopoly money now. sorry they robbed you (us). sucks

 

[btcfan]

Happens. That is why it was $200 and not adding a zero.
