Betonline.ag is down again. ..NO SURPRISE! Just got off tHe phone with cs. They are a solid 'D' sb, only have an 'A' rating because they [pay a poop ton of $$$ to Covers and SBR.] SBR has not been trustworthy for 3+ years, PERIOD. NEVER TRUST SBR... or 'official' ratings on sb's. They all ;ie tp get paid.

Again, without prior notice, BO is down again despite their top rating by multiple "independent" rating sites. BO deserves no better than a "C" rating, or a 6 out of 10 score. Some how they seem to be rated at no less than an A- or 9 out of 10 by "independent" rating sites. Don't believe the hype. They are mediocore at best but  (in fact, do) pay for their "ratings". If it wasn't for the quick payouts & live wagering options, they would be a 2 out of 10 without a doubt. I have tried well over a dozen online sportsbooks and have been ACTIVE in the 'biz' for over ten years. I know what I am talking about. BO is bush league in terms of professionalism, timeliness, customer service, grading wagers, etc. Their payout system & live wagering (which is not the best) is the only reason to hold an account with them. 

Complaint (third in the last 10 days submitted to SBR regarding BO by myself):

(hereafter betonline.ag will be referred to as BO throughout this forum)BO (Betonline.ag heareafter will be referred to as BO)... I just got off the phone with BO customer service (Deposit "department") and after more than 5 minutes on hold had my call answered by an agent name "KK" (I asked her 3 times how to spell her (name").My call was in related to a $100.00 deposit I made to my account via a VISA logo debit card. The processing amount they c\charge according to their site is 6.5%... or $6.50. The amount deducted from my account was $112.22. This happened another time in the last 10 days with the same sportsbook. When I called tonight (2:02am EST), the agent told me that they did not have a supervisor overnight and that I would have to call back tomorrow. After repeated inquiries, she continued to answer me with the same response. This is unacceptable... to repeatedly overcharge customers' accounts and by definition in the USA is fraud and gross negligence on the part of BO management. I see that at this time BO still holds an A to A+ rating on SBR. I have filed two complaints in the last 10 days myself with SBR in regard to BO and will continue to do so as they continue to provide inreputable/unethical/poor/arguably in a court of US law, illegal practices to it's customer base.This complaint as well as any future complaints I submit to SBR regarding BO or other sportsbook will also be submitted to a public site, not excluding a thread at Covers.com.

I have had to contact Betonline.ag (hereafter betonline.ag will be referred to as BO throughout this forum) more than twenty times in 2017 (today's date is 11/21/2017 and yes, I have to call them back later today because they do not have a 'supervisor' on duty on the overnight shift' as told to me in the last 30 minutes by a deposit customer service agent named 'KK').

I will post any and all complaints I submit to sportsbookreview.com(hereafter sportsbookreview.com will be referred to as SBR throughout this forum) regarding BO here in this thread for public access. It is my opinion that BO's A to A+ rating by SBR is unwarranted either by a lack of BO's players submitting substantiated complaints to SBR or... who knows. SBR has the highest standards of ethical compliance and I do not question their integrity one bit. If you have a substantiated complaint regarding to any sportsbook please help the player community out by submitting such complaints and evidence to SBR. They are here to protect the industry. Thank you.

Okay, so let me start... I have read (and been told) several various responses to the following questions:

1)What is the maximum wager/pay-out an individual can claim at a sportsbook without filling out an IRS form when claiming one's winnings.

2)Is this per cashed ticket, per day, etc? ...and is this amount aggregate for multiple sportsbooks owned by the same parent company?

Hey guys, how about we work on sharing information about known laws and policies for wagering on sports while in Nevada? Eventually we all make our first trip to the Mecca of sports bettors.

So, what are the rules/laws for wagering... (okay this is where everyone posts their questions and the Las Vegas experienced provide answers.

*This thread including any and all comments herein are not to be deemed as legal advice and is for recreational purposes only. All parties are expected to be of sound mind and to administer their own due diligence in researching all information therein.

BetOnline offers good live lines as well as a plethora of futures and props wagers but their customer service is absolute garbage.

I just had a Live Chat session with their 'CS Rep', "Milton" which 'he' closed while I was still asking questions. They clearly do not give a sh*t about their clients unlike many of the other Books I use. I also had to contact Covers and SBR a few weeks ago about their sh*tty phone cs.

Buyer beware (yes, I have had a BO acct for several years and have even referred two others who opened accts with them because of me. No Mas, no mas. Their interface is great but that is where it ends. If customer service matters to you, go somewhere else. If it doesn't then go ahead. (I have 8 SB accts and BO is the worst in terms of cs but 2nd in terms of interface.)

Issue resolved as of tonight. CS said that they were having a problem with their system and it wouldn't accept the correction. It's fixed now... they should do better at communicating when a problem arises but it get fixed 2 days later. All is well.

Okay, I'll try to keep it short. They graded a play from yesterday as a loss when it is actually a winner. Tonight, they graded a play a winner that was really a loss.

I opened a ticket Saturday about the mis-graded play and didn't hear anything from them about it so I got on live chat @4 hours ago. The CSR stated that the issue would be resolved shortly...

My account still hasn't been credited for the winning wager so I just got online with SI live chat again (I actually just finished with them @5mins ago). I nformes that CSR about my first ticket and reported the 2nd wager (this was the one that they gave me a win but it was really a loss.)... no problems, right?

Well, less than 5 minutes after me reporting the 2nd mistake, they had removed the funds from my account but are still trying to figure out whatever, whatever for the first wager. It's not rocket science, check the ticket and the result... simple enough.

I have never experienced anything like this anywhere else although $hit does happen but it has been over 24 hours and my account still has not been credited. If it is still not fixed after 48 hours I will definitely be in contact with you, Lou (yes, I do have all of the documentation and such), and if need be, SBR.

Just giving a heads up to any others out ther who use SI... they are obviously having problems with their computers, interface, something.

So if you don't meet the $20 deposit requirement you win a Covers Hoodie. (I want to win a hoodie... seem to come up short time and time again, lol. Hopefully I will get one soon!)

FYI: The BetED part of the weekly prize is what they offer anyway on deposit bonuses (if you don't meet the $20 requirement).

Trooter, ignore tha jack-wagons. They're too busy flaming people on the forums instead of researching their picks. Misery loves company, right? You know how it is...

Congrats on your all-or-nothing!

If you want to know why Trotter's threads get so many hits it's because of R-E-P-U-T-A-T-I-O-N... and R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Indeed! The season runs (regular season) from June into November. There is definitely money to be made on the CFL but there are more shifts in momentum than in the NFL, I bet the AFL and UFL too. (Heck, I'd bet the Lingere Footbal League if they would post lines for the games... teams either kick arse or suck).

For recreational wagers I'll bet on just about anything (like Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest every July 4th) but I make more $$ on every other football league than I do the NFL. I'm terrible at NFL sides but do well at the O/Us.

This season has been brutal. I'm with you on being done with the NFL (mostly) for this season but it doesn't really matter much with @2 mths of NCAAF and also with NCAAB and NBA starting up (9-2 on NBA preseason plays so far). LOVE basketball... this is the beginning of money season for me. GL to everyone else but yeah, (IMO), the NFL season has been horrible. 

Team: JAX

Total Score: 50

Total TD’s: 5

First Downs: 48

Wow, take a grammar class and learn how to spell. Maybe then people will take you seriously (if this applies to you)... ync,,, thanks for youe contribution... it's something to think about. Then again, I don't bet systems.

Research and intuition direct my picks but anything that can lead to an advantage (no matter how slight it may be) is beneficial. Never bet blindly, by others' picks, or by a system alone and you will increase your chances for success. I bet halves but pick my spots like with any other wager... this is the advice I would suggest anyone who thinks that they will profit from merely following a "system".
