Has anyone played here, and what are your thoughts?

First deposit was $200 was playing 2/4 ring cash and in first 20 hands had Aces cracked three times, flush beat by boat, and boat beat by quads.... All of which were 2 outers caught on river!

I have been playing long enough to know beats and runs come and go, but as a US player I am really starting to wonder if there is anywhere trustworthy to play.

Maybe I just that unlucky at that particular time..... But I doubt it!

Lol. "In b4 merged with mega-riggeds"

EDIT: sorry i guess that is rude of me. First off, neither site is rigged. So please just stop with that whole line while you are ahead. Next, youre playing 2/4 with a $200 BR? Well, that explains why you went bust-o. I played on betonline. Not for long, just built up like $50 in freerolls then lost it. I didnt really care for the layout/skin for that site. Bovada? Havent played there but I highly doubt it is rigged.

I doubt that it is rigged, but i've heard nightmare stories about players being unable to withdraw their funds.

This. I haven't done a ton of research on it but from what I've heard, nobody gets their withdrawals on betonline. I'd choose a site that has a better reputation for cash outs, Bovada being the top us-facing site for those from my research and experience.

I've had many times on multiple different sites with a similar chain of events happening where I've thought it had to be rigged. Unfortunately though there isn't too much we can do about it unless you want to stop playing altogether which none of us do! Just try to put it out of your mind and keep playing is my best advice I can give you

carbon is the site to be at

absolutely agree with this. Carbon is a good site with a good layout and reputation. Haven't been to many other sites so couldn't state that it is the best, but can state that it is a good option

As most of everyone else says, play at Carbon.
They run many freerolls each week including Facebook follower freerolls, instagram freerolls, and even private freerolls exclusively for card chat members.
Bovada doesn't provide freerolls like carbon does because they make you pay for their freerolls through coupons that you have to exchange points for.
Try Carbon you won't regret it.

Hi KrisEcoast. I deposited on Betonline too and it did not take long for me to lose it, and I was not playing 2/4 but had some of the same things happen to me. I'm not going to say it's rigged but I will never put anymore money on there. From time to time I don't have anything else to do and I will play a freeroll there, and still that crap happens. Full Flush is a good site to put you a little money on. I deposited $50 and withdrew twice. And I still have my first deposit even though I went through a bad run for a month, but now it's over. Also the withdrawals took 4 days bu WU.

It freezes too much and I can't seem to bring my myself to deposit. Also unhelpful staff

Apart from what others have said I find it really annoying that their tournaments break at 10 or 11 minutes past the hour. Why they choose to differentiate themselves by not adhering to the unified break system rather than by improving other things, their rubbish client, for example.

"Are you sure you want to quit?"

YES

"Oh, by the way, you're out of Tournament XYZ. Do you really want to quit?"

YES, YES, YES!

"Really, really sure?"

BLOODY YES!!

"Oh, all right then."

Used To Love BetOnline. Now I Only Play The FreeRolls. Bots Everywhere That Suck Out And It Freezes None Stop. Sometimes For 20 Minutes At A Time. Try Acr Or Bovada.

I played on BOL about 3-4 years ago & I won money on freerolls & ran bankroll up to $600 & they refused to cash me out since I had not deposited. They said how do you expect to get something for nothing. I said why offer freerolls which are tournaments that you get something for nothing IF you are not going to pay. It is worst site that has ever been built.

3-4 years later & the problems I was having with the site being frozen & horrendous staff still seems like the norm to them. Their customer support on the phone is actually laughable in how inept they are at their jobs.

I used to play on BOL 3-4 years ago and the site would constantly freeze. It astounds me that they are still in business

I play BetOnline. And have for years. Lots of good players and lots of donkeys. No bots! Lol , when it shows a location it just means they are out of the US. US can't chat with non us residents. .. not sure why but that's how it is. Yes the software is garbage..freezes from time to time and countless other problems. But... there is still money to be made. I try and stick with the sngs since they offer a leader board challenge. I play cash from time to time.. Playing 2/4 with a 200 br is insane. Should be playing 5 10 cents lol. I try not to play 1 2 unless I have over 1500 in my account. Is it rigged? Probably lol. But overall I would recommend this site over any other. Like superman said.. just gotta keep truckin.

Hey guys. I just started back playing online again since black Friday. I had 4.21 on bol that I had won on free rolls. So I started there again. They had a big problem with freezing games but for me it was only in the 7pm $100 freeroll . they have since limited to 900 players and that seems to have solved that problem. The other problem I see or hear is that they won't pay off. I entered them in the search at ripoff-report.com and got 31 reports. When you take away the bad-beat criers there were still a good many reports concerning pay outs. So use caution. But since I am building a free BR there I figure if I never get the cash I am getting a good education in playing poker. Being a holdem noob I figure every game played will help me learn. I hope this helps.. Tal
