Is it just me or is betonline AWESOME?!


Dude.. I've deposited on other sites (mostly merge) ..BUT I've got more than $50 from just freerolls alone on BO. Their every hour freeroll tournys just seem too good to be true.


is it just fish... or is it just me?:confused:

They haven't been open long, and there's already a number of reports of slow/non-payments.

As part of my poker writing gig, one of my assignments was to do a review of BetOnline. I was very put off by their operation. Their customer support guy would not tell me what the terms of their poker bonus were. He asked for my login and password. I refused. Then he basically told me to deposit first, and ask questions later.

I've put (and lost) some money on some pretty shady sites over the last few years, but this particular one I will definitely not be putting a dime of my own money on.

Like I said, there have been reports of major problems when people have tried to cash out.

Personally I have no experience with their cashout process. And I don't ever plan to.

It's understandable that you're suspicious of the site, therefore haven't made any deposits ..but there have been reports of major cashout problems with every poker site.

And as far as the 65,000 theft thread goes... that players problems were eventually resolved (read the whole thread). Not only were his problems resolved, BetOnline also responded to CC after a mod contacted them.

I'm not saying they are my new poker room.. just saying I enjoy the constant freerolls and easy field.

I assuming you are talking about U.S. DOJ/bank/payment processor issues with checks/etc from the major sites.

That is a COMPLETELY different ball 'o wax from the new, very low traffic, independent rooms like BetOnline. These sites are walking a tight rope when it comes to the amount of money they have coming in vs what they actually have available to honour players' cashouts.

Not very many sites these days where one can actually get a small bankroll going from the site's regular freerolls. Hope it keeps going good for you on there.

Given the fact that they're new and low on traffic, I'll agree to the possibility of not being able to honor cashouts. BUT they've given me no reason so far to doubt the room other than a few misleading threads and being a 'new' room in general. I do appreciate the advice though.


And thanks PO.. I've simply been running good here and there with them. It's always nice to build/add to a BR from taking down a few freerolls.

Noted. thank you for your information

As I said before, I've collected over $50 from freerolls alone.. I'm not looking into making this my new room ..but the games are surely enough to keep my attention to the site.

If I choose to deposit and end up in the same boat as your 1,000 new players, then I will add to the list and start a new thread to warn off CC members that might decide to also deposit to BO.

Till then I'm content with the room and see no reason to leave. Does that make sense? ..I mean it was CC's link to BO that lead me to download it in the first place. Given the renown of this forum I would think someone would have already took down the link by now. I believe it's their #1 site for US players.

I'm not saying you're wrong (just sayin)

I saw a lot of threads about Bet Online and how they closed accounts with thousands of dollars in them with no reason. You should stay away from this site, it's very shady imo

BET ONLINE IS A FRAUD!!!!

Well, lets start off saying, Yes, BO has ok freerolls. Their SOFTWARE?! Not so much. I had a big hand (quad nines) for the fifth time at that poker table by the way, I had the winning hand to be win the whole tourny ( something like $240-$260) the guy who called had nothing!!!!! AK high. after we showed, the game gave all my chips to the other guy!!! are you kidding me? I spoke with the directors there. They said "Sir, we see what hand you had but there is nothing we can do" I said, how about you frigging change your software. They came back and said there is nothing wrong with their software and hung up the phone.... So, I'm warning you guys you deposit money, you're not getting it back at ALL if you win you're still not getting your money... Bet Online is a freaking JOKE.. They should be shut down...
