Restricted during bonus

Wed Jan 21, 2015 8:37 am

Sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't find a decent thread on it.

How do you guys approach sites if you have a bonus only half done and you get restricted?

I've been feeling a bit adventurous with different sites and I guess it was inevitable that I'd get burned. Now I have a decent sum of money on my account but I can't make bets over 1€, so getting my final ~600€ rollover won't be possible. I guess I have to contact support? Is there any good way to approach them so that I'd only get the bonus sum for example taken out of my total, or am I just f****d and should just move on?

Any shared experiences would be of help, thanks.

The same has happened to me, wish I never opened an account with them. The funny thing is I was betting slight negative arbs to complete the rollover. But because I won big on one bet they don't accept bets now and it is either rejected or partially accepted. I am so angry.

If they continue to reject bets and not let me complete the rollover I am going to report them as it says in the terms and conditions if the rollover is not completed in 30 days they have the right to void the bonus and any winnings.

If you can get bets accepted even at 1£ you should be able to complete the rollover. Just bet at anything and don't hedge anymore.

I had done this once with 0.5£ bets but It was easier because I was allowed to repeat bets.

True, I guess even with a 7-8% juice I stand to lose less than the bonus amount.

Has anyone ever resolved issues like these in a more efficient way with the support? Or am I likely to get restricted to 0€ if I try?

What is the name of the bookmaker?
What was the initial deposit, the bonus awarded and the ror?
What is the balance now?
Thanks.

Happened to me once, I had to complete a 900-1000€ rollover and my max bet limit was 3€ :D
I had to place 300-350 bets with 3€. When my rollover was completed, I noticed I made profit, lol. Lucky :D

Some books accept to erase your bonus and send your funds back, some doesn't.

- LSBet
- 200e depo, 100e bonus
- 4x RO on deposit + bonus, so 1200 in this case
- balance now is a bit over 400€

Interestingly I got a mail from them right after I posted this with a statement that I would have to roll over 900 something euros, still. I've calculated it twice and I'm positive that with their terms I should have a little bit over 600€ left of the RO. Also quite odd to get that e-mail right after I notice the restriction as I haven't asked for any calculation...

Nope, everything's cut off. Live, doubles, trebles...

Had that problem once with Intertops, limited in the middle of a bonus rollover, but limited to 0 (zero), soI could not make any bet, with a big rollover to make.
After many contacts with live support, emails to the management, nothing happenned and still not able to make any bet.
The only thing that solved the problem was when I make a complaint on SBR, they talked with Intertops and then they finnally let me bet maximum 100 euro per bet untill rollover finished, then they closed my account.

What if you continue in casino? What will the roll over be? You should ask them and keep the answer.

I did that a couple of years ago with digibet, made my rollover on limited account on live casino betting other side
on another bookie site using same live casino, some bookie's count this as rollover, some don't

I do miss digibet, before the 5% tax they were very good for many many small arbs, used to make £200 per week from them!!!

Aren't you losing twice on the house edge with this strategy? I know arbers don't like variance but you could place a lot of small bets to keep it low

It's difficult being an arber, practically no bookmaker likes you as if you place arbitrages with no mistakes you will never lose. My accounts are up against every bookmaker and exchange I've ever used apart from smarkets exchange.
Some bookmakers really hate arbers and cut limits within 2 or 3 bets!

Have been limited to £20 bets with one bookmaker and have near £1000 to rollover.  :(

£20 bets would still be fine for me. Or not fine, but not shitty enough to warrant a post here. 4€ bets make my blood boil though... Especially as I'm losing each and every one of them, lol :P

Here's the response from LSBet with regards to transferring the bonus to the casino:

Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately the welcome bonus in sports can not be transferred to casino.
And you must complete the rollover with the set limits.

Not very surprising...
