Hadn't played in a minute. Start up again and they used to have two live betting links. Now they only offer one form of live betting?


Anybody confirm?

Well, checked back again and it looks like it is permanently removed. Only the "Live Betting" link is there. I forget what the other one was called, which offered options and was easier to get a bet accepted.

This sucks.

YouWager has been a mess for awhile. They stopped allowing you to use free money for parlays, they cut out the bonus point program (at least they notified the players unlike Betonline a few years ago who just stopped the program without any notice so players couldn't use the points) and their deposit process seems to give you only the Bitcoin option. I tried MG with them last year and it was rejected because the receiver couldn't prove she knew me. Haven't had that problem anywhere else. Over the past month, I've gotten five separate notifications from them re: depositing from five different e-mail addresses. I bit on one using, at their suggestion XOOM, and that didn't work and YW can't tell me why. They also put some new restrictions on some of their contests. To your question, I do see a full set of menu options for betting with no change.

Good feedback.

Yes, it's like they have new management or something:

1. Points gone
2. Bonus Play NOT use on parlays -- used to be okay
3. I'm not allowed contests
4. Net loss bonus used to be cash back -- now was just a Bonus Play only


Deposit options are okay on my side. I never trust the automated system. Always call in to avoid problems and can get a MG. So you should be okay for that. I've asked them about all their options many times and I never heard they accepted XOOM. Maybe that's recent.



Looks like I'll have to call them b/c I only have one live betting option, but it sounds like you've got the two options still.

Yep, just confirmed it has been removed... "but it might come back for football season".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd imagine it was a service they paid for. So maybe it became too expensive for them and they'll bring it back during (high) football season when it will be profitable.... ?


Always loved the book, but certainly looks like they're headed towards problems.

Can you double check that? I wonder if they're not telling me the truth. Sounds like you have both live betting options available. Do you see 2 or 1?

Right now, i have one live betting option on the menu...when i click on that both soccer and tennis are listed. Let me know exactly what you are looking for and I will check in after the MLB starts tonight.

Funny thing is, I called in on the MG too...that's the first time anywhere it couldn't be picked up because the receiver didn't know me. YW said that's the way it goes sometimes and was no help at all.

Should have also added to the list that the first deal they offered for reload was 100% bonus...when checking into that, they said only if your current balance, Bonus Play and pending totals were all zero. They left that out of the e-mailed deal.

95% success rate with MG and that. Same deal I experienced as well. Once in a blue moon, basically. You'll probably be okay on the next one. Clerks may tell you different things at different times. Just the way it is.

I would stay away from bonuses and all that shit. Majority of books it's set up to scam you.... just prefer to play straight up. Deposit with my balance and no strings attached.

In the past they've always paid like Gods... so hope that doesn't change.

And, yes, the live options were:

Live betting and In-Play


Currently there is the the LB, which is the one we both have. The In-PLay is missing. It was the standard at other books like Heritage and 5dimes... and some others. Though I think Heritage dropped it as well. Only 5dimes has it.

Yes...Live Betting is the last icon at the top on that menu line...I don't see In-Play at all.

Still love the book. Curious as to the size of their operation. I heard they are a lot bigger than some other books that you would think that would dwarf them.

And did nail the Bonus Play they gave me. Max odds up to +190 and hit one at +185. Good thing is they let you break it up.


[h=2]Bonus Play[/h]It's a bonus given to customers that can be used only on straight bets and on moneylines up to +190.
It can be used on any sports but Horses, Live/In game Betting and Rolling If Bets. Online or over the phone.
You can bet your Bonus Play amount all at once, or you can split it in several bets ($1 minimum).
Only the winning amount will be credited to your balance.
For addtional information on payout and rollovers, please check Bonus Information.
