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...
