If the case is as Gamblinx reported than it is quiet obvious he is entitled to his bonus.

However it also seems that all this could have been solved with a call to the Book.

Having Gamblinx failed to do so induces me to believe that Ken's suspicious are realistic.

Just my 2 cents

Identity: We do not have a take on this or any situation. We want the right outcome based on fact. Our GM is waiting for a call from Gamblix to clarify some points that do not add up so we can attempt to resolve the issue.

These threads always end up the same

Book has the balls to respond in a open forum the book gets flamed.

Poster does'nt have the balls to make a phone call, Book rep continues to get his balls busted.

Usual wannabee posters seem to be more worried about the money then the poster who started the thread.

Rio,

I'm not looking for any deposit bonus however I'm looking for 1/2 point deal for football next season.

I looked in the promotions area on your web site. Is it true that I only have to deposit 500.00 to qualify and am I allowed the 1/2 point on 3 and 7 ?

Thanks

-K1

I also looked at the Skybook Promotion area and it clearly states you need to deposit 1000.00 and you cannot use key numbers 3 and 7 in football.

SS ...

This is copied and pasted from the promotions area on the Rio Web Site.

Rio International Sportsbook is known as the "Home of the Free 1/2 Point". Why? Because only at Rio do account holders that deposit $500 or more receive a FREE 1/2 Point on all Football straight wagers, for up to $500! Sides and Totals Included! College and Pro!

But that's not all! Rio Sportsbook customers that deposit $500 or more are also entitled to receive a FREE 1/2 Point on all Basketball Straight Wagers EVERY FRIDAY, and one FREE PAYOUT per calendar month!

gamblinx,

I realize your claim may in fact be legitimate, however, the reason you are getting alot of heat in this thread as many feel it is not very appropriate to come to an open forum & post a post in the fashion you did, without giving management a reasonable amount of time to research your claim....It sounds like you made the deposit on Friday Afternoon...Maybe the rep did make a mistake...maybe they do have inaccurate info on their website...Their actual policy is no Bonus on Prepaid ATM, now if they led you to beleive otherwise, or if the site says they do give the bonus...SO BE IT...But give them a REASONABLE amount of time before you come to a message board read by 100's of readers...

How would you feel if you were RIO....would you not appreciate a chance to have the problem corrected before your customer posted such on an online FORUM? I once had a slow Pay Situation with a Book & I gave them 3 weeks before I posted a report on the situation in the forums...This was done to be fair & not to Bash the Book....Maybe 3 weeks is a little generous, but a Few hours is not...

Anyway you are probably owed the 47$, that I do not know...I am sure RIO will do the right thing...however you should think of these things...especially considering you just registered at the RX...You said you read the RX alot so you know that the FORUM is often suspicious of these types of posts that come from new Posters...This does not mean that a new poster can never have a legitimate claim...but should consider what they are saying aswell...

Kiss...I am sure RIO will come in here & let us knmow, if it is offered on 3 & 7, then all I can say is:
applaudit.gif


but with 10% of games in the NFL landing right on 3 I think RIO would be killing themselves...usually Books limit free 1/2 point promotions to all lines except for 3 & 7 (as you know)....

although who knows...maybe they do.....

I'm assuming they do or it would surely be mentioned as a restriction in the promo area.

I'm not trying to set a trap. I'll make a nice deposit if that's the case.

Thanks for the clarification but don't you guys really think the promotions area is a bit deceptive ?

You are bound to have problems if you're not "up front" about company policys in the same area that you are trying to lure new customers into trying your book.

Lets say ...

I pick up my local paper and it says FREE TURKEYS TODAY. I run my hungrey ass down to the store and grab me a juicy turkey and the clerk say's "hey shark guy, you need to buy 200.00 in groceries to qualify."

"Didn't you check the "birds for sale" section in the classifieds ?"

Huh ?

Respect your clients and they will respect you Rio.


Regards

CAN U BELIEVE THIS_

I went to log onto my RIO account and guess what?????????

Message which states Your Account HAS BEEN SUSPENDED??? RIO- how about some balls and explain this one- OH I SEE IT a ANOTHER HIDDEN RULE- say something bad about our book and you get suspended. I'll tell you what RIO and SHrink - IF my $470 isn't returned to my PRePaid account we're going to have some serious problems. You're mad about me posting some facts here- keep my account suspended(without returning my intitial deposit and you see how ur losy book makes out. I'll visit every public forum known to man and tell of the fraud you are pulling here.
