I just feel that all the sites have us US Players by the shorties and they know it. A couple of months back I saw that CC was promoting BetOnLine for US players so I opted to throw 300 in getting the 300 matched to bet with.

Over a month or so I made between 100 and 200 in bets via their Bookie side and won maybe $2500 on the poker side.

So I decided to withdraw 500 as a start to get the ball rolling. lol

I get a note telling me basically I need to wager another $4,000.00 on their Bookie side before I can make a withdrawal. lol

Problem is I only bet games for shits and giggles, this will take me forever.

The moral of my story is to read the fine print concerning "free $ matches" before committing any serious $ to a site.

That's unfortunate for sure although I've experienced similiar stuff in the past on pokersites when you 'opt in' for the bonus. In some cases I chose to not take the bonus because of this sort of thing.

I don't understand, so you are saying that they won't let you withdraw from POKER earnings, until you wager a certain amount on the SPORTS side??? That doesn't make any sense at all please clarify.

I have been watching this thread as I like Betonline..... however combined with the software issues I have been VERY concerned about that and now the withdrawal / deposit issue.
Has ANYONE had any success on withdrawing money on this site ? This poor guy obviously is having some issues and to be honest the charges they are asking for the withdrawal is insane.

Is that for real?

ANYWHERE that expects you to pay to withdraw money is a rip off and just down right disgusting.

I never play anywhere that charges for withdrawal and charges is the first thing I check out, but these charges are just ludrcious.

Someone said is this just for freeroll or normal withdrawals? If this is normal withdrawal then I'm gobsmacked to say the least.

That is exactly what they are saying.
I guess they ar mainly a wagering site and the fine print says that if I agree to accept their matching deposit, I also agree to their ridiculous wagering commitment prior to any withdrawals.

Hey All... I was looking in the help section on my cashiers window on BetOnline and I came across something interesting about requesting a FREE withdrawal of money from your account:

Payouts may be requested at any time via email to Payout@betonline.com from the email address you registered, and verified, at BetOnline.com Payout request emails should include your

- Username
- Preferred Withdrawal Method
- The Amount you are requesting withdrawn.

Payouts will only be sent to the address registered in the account. No third party payouts are permitted. Please note that the required minimum/maximums for each option are subject to change without notice.

- Please allow 24 hours for your payout request email to be reviewed

- Players are entitled to one free payout every thirty (30) days, via check, on Friday; if you would like to take advantage of the free check payout please specify this when making your payout request.

- Payouts request emails are processed Monday through Friday, between 9:00 a.m. ET to 1:00 p.m. ET, excluding holidays. Important note: Identity verification and other documentation are often required of players. Payout request emails are not considered valid and are not reviewed until all requested documentation has been submitted, and received by BetOnline.com.


So as you can see you are entitled once a month to a free payout. Granted it is extortion what they charge if you want to make more than one withdrawal in that month or if you don't do it on Friday at the right time, but at least they offer a once a month freebie. Just thought I would put my two cents in :)

Moe.

P.S. So glad I don't fall for the sign up bonus or reload bonus crap... I can really see how that erks some people!

I have come across this on a couple of sites that offer up front bonus's to match your deposit. Ones I have seen you need to turn over the bonus 10 times before you can withdraw any winnings over and above your deposit value. Small print is never easy to find when you want to deposit.

I say another post that said you get one free withdrawel per month. Are these restrictions only because you got a bonus or something?

I wonder if it is possible to opt out of the bonus so you don't have to be raped by all the fine print. Was it a bonus code you used, or was it an automatic bonus?

ANYWHERE that expects you to pay to withdraw money is a rip off and just down right disgusting.

I never play anywhere that charges for withdrawal and charges is the first thing I check out, but these charges are just ludrcious.
Their charges are certainly steep for small withdrawals, if that's the only withdrawal methods they offer, but charging for withdrawals is standard across virtually all sites -- it's not "a rip off" by any means just to charge for a withdrawal. And especially post BF where their risks and expenses to facilitate withdrawals to US players have exploded exponentially. Plus these are quotes for wiring funds, which have always had high fees -- that's why only high rollers typically use them because the fees are proportionally lower at higher dollar amounts.

Many sites and networks allow you one free check withdrawal per month, where you pay the fee but they reimburse it. Merge works this way, charging $15 per paper check but reimbursing the first one each month. Stars and FT also charged fees for some withdrawal types, such as wires, which is what BetOnline is quoting here. Bank wires have always been expensive for small withdrawals.

So it's blatantly incorrect to make a blanket statement that "ANYONE that expects you to pay to withdraw is a rip off."

I wonder if we could get cardschat to elaborate on this for us since they are so adamant about rating them as their number one site? Maybe they could use the withdrawel fees/options as a factor when rating sites assuming they are using a fair non-biased method.

As mentioned above, BetOnline does offer 1 free Cashout per month if requested on Friday. I will also add that a lot of sites are now charging for Cashouts. Unfortunately, this is the times we live in. It's very difficult for these sites to get processors that are willing to process payments at ALL for US players and the ones that will are taking advantage of the issue.

That being said, I would be cautious of BetOnline for other reasons.

I read this a while back, and have come to the conclusion that no deposits will be made from me, I did try to play their freerolls but their server is so crappy the up and down was killing me, I just deleted them from my pc yesterday, and to be honest an ready to delete all of them, we (US) are be taken advantage of because of our situation. These business are going to need us an they are just not realizing that by taking advantage of a bad situation could back fire on them. alot of online players are opting to just stop playing and go live, i live close enuf to a casino to go every other day if I choose to and it appears thats what the end result will be, at least then I can get paid immediately an not have to wait months on end for a check.

It's hard to believe that we live in a country that has less rights than communist and third world countries. May be why the american dollar isn't worth much anymore.

I think it has more to do with the fact our government prints more and more money...... but I could be wrong.

It is sad that this great country of ours and the freedoms we enjoy are governed by so little common sense. That my friend is the shame in it all.

Has ANYONE had any success on withdrawing money on this site ? This poor guy obviously is having some issues and to be honest the charges they are asking for the withdrawal is insane.

I am going dealing with this as we speak. I spoke to betonline costumer service and they said that before I attempt any kind of withdraw i have to " verify identity " with them which means i have to email or fax the following: back and front of my credit card, my driver licence and a utility bill ! I mean cmon, thats crazy isnt it? who is to say they wont steal my idetity or charge my card? im scared to even try, but i have over $ 400 in winnings and i would hate to just lose the money.
I am new to poker/casino online sites, so this may be normal?:confused: any advice would be greatly apreciated!
