Also isn't it GTBETS responsibilty to notify the player if they have specific rules when I depositted? They did not even tell me what my rollover was. There was no transparency here. I have depositted with this book and taken a bonus before and lost my whole deposit doing similar big bets and was never refunded for those "too high of wagers" This is playing both sides of the fence.

Haha, no. That's your responsibility.

Again I will say i've posted up at gtbets taken a 100% bonus in the past and went all in which is against their rules and lost... they did not email me and say hey here's your money back since your bet was too high. That's freerolling/shot taking. Plain and simple. This is something you'd expect from a D/F Rated sportsbook not an A rated sportsbook.

Oh man..sorry bro. That is just unbelievably wrong.

Yeah, it's pathetic. Equally disturbing is their advertising banner hangs proudly at the Rx and NOT one mod has chimed in yet

Times r tough for all, millions on the dole , folks frightened wearing masks everywhere ,it's twilight zone shit .BUT, don't turn a blind eye to what is wrong

Is a mod going to comment ?

Optional, A moderator at sbrforum is trying to defend their actions.... saying I didn't read the terms so it's not a freeroll/theft... so If I place bets their system accepts and I win they confiscate... but If majority of the bets lose they let them stand as it favors them that's not freerolling?

It's GTBET'S responsibility to follow their own rule and set the players betting limits accordingly to what they deem acceptable. GTBETS limits were set in a manner which directly contradicted their own rules in a manner which if the player wins the majority of the bets deemed to big they will confiscate and if the majority of the bets lose they can play stupid and just let it stand. That's theft/freeroll to a tee.

If someone could post what I just said in the thread at sbr that would be great as i'm banned there. I don't appreciate optional being a turd backing paid sponsors who are in the wrong.

SBR isn't going to help you.Like i stated previously, these kinds of sites had power 10-15 years ago. Now they desperately need the income from any book that is willing to pay them for advertising. Every book that pays their adverting bill gets a A+ rating.

Your best and really only option is to call GTBets and try to negotiate with them. SBR is only going to make things worse, and now that they made a ruling on it, it will be harder now for you to negotiate with the book.

I remember back in the day, if you had a problem with a book that advertised here, that "the shrink" or a mod would immediately jump in and try to help the poster out, but now as you can see, no mod comes in, no owner of the site comes in, they all stay out of it and wait for the problem to simply go away.

SBR has said they are in talks with them (Whatever that means) Should take 20 minutes maximum to determine there was no foul play and their system's limits contradicted their own rule.

No, I get it but if they have rules, it isn't their responsibility to read the rules to you. That's up to you not them.

This doesn't change the fact they owe you money.

I’m in the minority here. But didn’t their rules say what you are saying they didn’t?

I got a Bonus Bet from some book. Forget the name not was a $50 bet. I went in and read the fine print after running it up to $500. The fine print was “winnings not to exceed $200”

Ok, I get that. Cashed out the $200 and left. But I sure as shit didn’t come to a board and cry foul when it’s in the rules. It’s a catch 22 in reality. READ THE RULES. IF NOT, ask them to clarify.

They won’t pay.

This probably isn’t the first time this has happened to them. Shady? Maybe, but it’s in their rules and I’d say you won’t be getting paid.

I'd say its way different when you get a no deposit bonus freeplay and when you actually deposit. Also when you factor in i've done the same exact thing in the past and they have never cancelled/refunded me for losing wagers in which were too high and against their rules. I've never heard of any book trying this and i've played with many bonus books. This is not a typical rule... especially if your website is set up with certain limits that literally contradict your rule.

No brainercheersgif

If I tried to bet 1k and they had me on $150 limits I could bitch all I wanted but the fact of the matter is that's them truely believing in their rule and enforcing it. I could whine all day but that's reasonable and would have to adjust accordingly at the point.

Let’s be real. There are no more “watchdog” sites around. It’s a huge risk playing offshore. I’d find a reputable local. I’ll never be offshore again.

Unless I missed it, what is the exact wording of the rule they are claiming he broke?

Here is directly from their site

GTbets has served up a serious 150% Cash Sign Up Bonus this season. Enjoy a 100% cash bonus up to $500 on your first deposit, and then 50% cash up to $250 on your second deposit. Simply sign up your account and make your first deposit to earn an instant 100% bonus. As this is a Cash Bonus, you get to keep both the wager and win amount on each wager. Unlike the less lucrative Bonus Play offers that most other sportsbooks promote, our Cash Bonuses allow you to use your bonus how you want to use it, without restrictions on wager types and products. The 50% bonus will not be offered on your second deposit if you received a withdrawal after your initial deposit.

Underneath that is terms and conditions which you have to click on to reveal
Minimum deposit is $35, maximum is $500. This welcome bonus is tied to a 12x rollover. To calculate rollover earnings, please see below.
In order to qualify for your first deposit bonus you must meet the criteria below:

  • A player must not have made a previous deposit. Please contact us if you are not sure how to use any of our deposit methods.
  • Players may be requested to identify themselves by going through the gtbets.ag verification procedure. Please contact or email us for assistance.
  • One bonus issued per customer only, and one sign up bonus per household.
Players that have received a bonus of 50% or higher, and still have unfulfilled wagering requirement that is associated with said bonus, are prohibited from placing wagers where, if at the time of placing the wager, the Risk amount is greater than 50% of the value of the deposit that is associated with the unfulfilled bonus wagering requirement. In cases where this rule is violated, wagers will be canceled, associated winnings will be voided, and accounts may be permanently closed based on management’s discretion. So if for example you make a $100 deposit, and receive a 100% bonus, making your balance $200. By this rule, you are not allowed to place a wager with a Risk amount of greater than $50 until your wagering requirement has been completed.


Bullshit rule put there hoping you don't notice if you end up winning they are free to steal from you

Haha. What a fucking scam. They purposely hide it to do exactly what they are doing.

So cute how the mods simply stay out of this now.

Also the fact they let you run it up to close to 7k.

I wonder how many players they pull the rug out from under with these "terms" who don't bother to come to sites like these.

Who would ever want this bonus. You deposit 1k and you are allowed a max of $500 wagers no matter how high you run up the balance on your account. GTbets still looks at it as their money.
