Who here got their limits increased before?

Anyone seen their limits increased? I heard it is a thing with Draft Kings, but I haven't seen it in offshore books.

Sometimes it can happen when there's a major change to the software or new management resets everyone back to default.

I've had this happen to me at BetDSI twice!

Increased after having them cut or increased period?

5 Dimes seemed to accidentally raise my limits back to normal a few years ago, before cutting them again after about a month.

MaximBet seemed to increase my limits to 4x what they were (hoops went from 2k to 8k, NFL from 4k to 16k) after I dumped 50k to them in December. Took them for 300k the first week of January and they promptly cut them again each day (2x original, 1/2 original, 1/4 original, 1/32 original) until it wasn't worthwhile to bet with them. DraftKings had cut my limits to sub $100 after beating them up on Korean baseball in May of 2020 when that was about the only thing to bet on. I withdrew and forgot about them until I was out in New Hampshire for a wedding in October. They were the only domestic book in NH so I decided to see if limits were normal for live NFL. I don't think they were full limits but they were big enough to be worthwhile.

The problem is unless a book has a max bet button or gives you the max as you type it in, how do you know whether your limits have been raised/restored without making a decent sized deposit and testing it out? Offshore is at least a little better in this regard as most books tell you your max in the betslip.

At Fanduel I'm at 10% limits in my state. On a trip to a different state I logged in to bet and my limits were full. That only lasted a couple bets and then they also cut me to 10%. So these regulated books seem to have independence between states.

Have you been able to get back into CZR/WH?

Interestingly, when I got back to Colorado my limits were still raised (for a couple weeks before cutting them again) so at least for DK it wasn't a state thing.

I haven't tried CZR/WH (assuming this is Caesars/William Hill) after getting severely cut. Their site always makes my browser crash on my laptop.

In general my experience has been the books who are based in Europe and have come over here are all huge bitches. Betway, Betfred and Tipico all seem to have extreme risk management policies.

Damn $300k in a week? That is some solid work!
