Hard Rock Bet Is Garbage ; Axing "Sharps" - Florida Bettors Will Be Playing Offshore Again 👎

[HacheMan]

When Hard Rock Bet opened in Florida, I found nothing enticing about it other than deposits & withdrawals being somewhat convenient (That has since gotten easier with offshore)

But I did find Live Betting to be MUCH better than anything offshore had to offer

So, most of my straight bets remained offshore, while all of my Live wagers were at Hard Rock

There are 6 Tiers as a member, and I made my way to Diamond, not really because I am a huge bettor, but because I put in a lot of action with Live Bets

As a Diamond/VIP member, you have a guy contacting you via text messaging and/or email, with Free Plays awarded to your account and other special events only offered to VIP players (He once gave me two $500 Bonus Wagers at one time)

You also receive daily Profit Boosts and many other offers regular members don't get

So, about 3 months ago there was an APP update

Just after that, all of my daily offers & perks vanished

I would still get the notifications throughout the day as they would come in, but they would never work

Eventually even the notifications stopped

So, I thought maybe something was wrong with my account after I updated the APP

I contacted Hard Rock at least 15 times through email

Only once did I get a response that wasn't generated that they all use

But basically all inquiries had gone ignored

Finally my VIP guy texts me checking in saying he had been running behind and wanted to give me some Bonus Plays

I explained the situation to him and he asked me to give him a few minutes to see what was going on

I had a gut feeling what he was going to tell me but was surprised when he actually text'd back to tell me they had me marked as a Sharp (Texts Below)

Some may remember the Live Wagering thread and the success I was having particularly with International Live Basketball Totals

I'm pretty sure that's why this decision was made

An acquaintance of mine in Florida has also been shut down for similar reasons

I've seen a lot of Fanduel and Draftkings and compared to those two Hard Rock Bet was already trash

But this is icing on the cake in showing what a garbage book they are compared to the others & Florida is stuck with them unless something happens to get other options on the ballot

More bettors will flock back to offshore if Hard Rock Crap-Bet is their only option...

Just trying to let people know what a joke Hard Rock Bet is and what's in store for them if they start winning

The on shores are not being regulated properly.

Government oversight almost always fails. Clueless as to the task at hand. It's a sin really. They should have let the guys who run Pinnacle be in charge of everything onshore.

 

[IMISREMEMBER]

Poor customer service , should be fined, they have to much power, it’s not like you don’t loose and win all the time

 

[Knightrofins]

Were you getting any diamond perks like hotel stays, cruises, meals, etc?

Legal betting in NY for new members is not inviting. All free dime bets promotions not being honored at all in NY but elsewhere is OK it seems. ESPNBET, MGM, and FANATICS claim I'm not eligible even though I'm a new member. Instead they offered me boosted odds play.

why not have a buddy/wife/girlfriend sign up and play on their account? atleast to get access to larger limits etc

I just got off the phone with one of our PPH players who had the exact same experience with Hard Rock. After a string of big losses, he hit a lucky streak in college baseball, and they slashed his limits. Now he’s back with his local, who uses our shop, betting freely without worrying about getting shut down just for winning.

When big sportsbooks limit players for winning, they end up pushing them back to local agents using per head services—a win for the price per head industry. These days, most reliable Pay Per Head locals can offer the same bonuses, live betting, custom props, all on credit, making players rethink why they ever went to big sites like DraftKings in the first place. It’s refreshing to see the public attitude shift back in favor of local, mom-and-pop-run businesses.

Last time I fairly took possession of a veteran poster's handle Wilhelm shut it down. So lets keep our transaction a secret.
