I don't know why anyone plays on some of these sites.

A simple google search would come up with MANY negatives associated with certain sites. There was a post on 2p2 about someone being owed over 15k and they froze his account.

The only USA site that actually pays ASAP is Bovada.

Believe intertops pays out quick , pokerhost when I still could play there always paid out quick as well.

Don't play at Betonline poker, they have certain lag same as live casino itself on purpose! Once I won enough cash from poker ( PLO8 or PLO are my favourite games), I transfer money from poker section to casino section. All they do just make the game lagging and the whole screen blanked out once I bet more than average ($5 - $100 or $25 - $500) on Black Jack or baccarat. They do those trick to steal your bigger bet and only give u smaller bet in final. They use this trick at live casino by lagging the screen to blank out, and only shown the card number at right and left corner. You can't even see the real dealer to deal the cards to banker or player. They are cheater for sure, that live casino network is same as Merge Network ( Carbon, PlayersOnly). So dont play there and get ripped off in sudden!

Yeah this is a pretty crappy site had the best hand have two horrible cards eff me on the river like AA cracked by 7 4 off runner runner? That happened too many times to count on this site CRAP! Do not play! Trips crushed by 2 6 off there's so many hands that have been like that. I could go on but you get the point.

I've been considering making a relatively small deposit on this site just to have as an off network to use when WPN and Tops get slow (rare these days). After reading this thread and talking to a few people at 2+2, I don't see how I could do so in good faith. Where there's smoke, there's fire and there has been a billowing stack of smoke around this network for quite some time.

As far as cashouts - The thing is that it doesn't really matter how reliable a network is when it comes to cashouts since you can just use an affiliate and P2P transfer for a bank wire. I've been looking for an affiliate on this network that I can use for that but I have yet to find one.

The confusion arises because betonline.ag poker uses the same poker software as the equity poker rooms.

Has anyone cashed out BETONLINE.AG funds recently? Just curious if the process is any smoother now than it was a few years ago.

sadly i have experienced the exact same on BOL..and im finally going to stop playing on it. over the past year i must have deposited over 500usd on betonline and initially i was winning and that too very easily. as soon as i deposited more money into the site, i started getting the worst beats. runner runner bad beats back to back too many times for it to be normal. everytime i would be ahead on the flop i would get screwed by the turn or river. Also everytime i won a bit of money and used it towards a cash game or tourney, i would loose against the worst hands. its definately not random and the software is being manipulated. if i were to go with commons sense, i would stay clear of this site. all the randomness goes out the window if your getting beat the exact same way. and everytime i have AA/KK/QQ, atleast two other ppl also have the top5 starting hands. never once have i got AA/KK/QQ and no1 else on the table doesnt have it...i dont know how this site keeps being reviewed as one of the top sites for us players. a nutless monkey could figure out that this site is being manipulated and the point made above rings true as a shitty player who thinks he winning cause hes good would end up depositing eventually in hopes of making more money. its sad that this is happening and i really want to play on a great site that is transparent and not being manipulated. can someone plz recommend the top 3 sites to play from the usa ?

i heard 888 poker and bet365 are good. not sure if they allow players from the US.

Check this out,
I did some analyzing on the poker software, the flops , the turn, and the river, and the hands that were being played.
Here are my findings.
After 7056 hands that were analyzed by me a MIT graduate.
67.81% of the time there are doubles on the flop.
78.69% of the time when there is more then three people in the hand doubles hits the flop.
72.99% of the time the worst starting hand ends up winning the hand.
89.23% when you are dealt one of the five big starting hands, AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK , someone else was dealt one of the five with 67.77% of the time the lower end hand wins.
48.49% of the time on the flop will come three of the same suite with 89.91% of someone hitting a flush.
23.00% of the time in a game you will see quads from three different people in a ten man tournament.
87.81% of the time when short stacked and your dealt a very good hand, AJ, A10,AQ,AK. and you go all in with one caller with a big stack, the big stack wins. 87.81% do you believe that one.

There is a lot more I could tell you people that I analyzed but you get the picture.
This site is rigged so bad that they don't even try to hide it, it takes someone like me to do the math and expose this cheating no good site.
Stay clear from this site ,trust me my math is always right.
Now go to poker odds and see the real odds on everything i just gave you, no where even close to what this crooked site is dealing to people.

Hahahahaha.... Your math sucks and You should be ashamed !

How can there be doubles 68% of the times AND 3 same suited card in 50%

If all the cards have the same suit then there cant be doubles....

Nice try.... Maybe next time You learn math before You try to fool someone with made up numbers
that proof themselves wrong...

Trust me, my math is always right

BEst Joke so far this year!

"can someone plz recommend the top 3 sites to play from the usa ?"

Top 3?? There used to be some? Today...none. Contact your state senator and state congressman and push them to sponsor a bill to legalize state-sanctioned online poker. That is your best bet.


I never made a deposit at BOL. I played with freeroll winnings. But they give and take away as they wish. You will never take any money out of BOL. They will make sure of it. Juicy Stakes is another room that admits US players. But like BOL, they will let you win at freeroll hoping to entice you into making a deposit (This is EASY! How can I LOSE?!). Don't fall for it. Again, you will never be allowed to withdraw money from Juicy Stakes. I eventually uninstalled both rooms from my PC. Winning at freerolls only to have it taken away in paid tournaments got old after a while.

I was responding to a post by someone named UberKadet who posted this morning. I stopped by after receiving an email from CardsChat that there was a new response to the OP.

Well... options are limited, but betonline is still solid. ignition/Bovada are still good options. Beyond that ACR, etc is ok.

Sometimes I have problems with betonline also, when I try to login it takes me 20-30 times to login. I play on betonline because they use to offer a lot of freerolls but now they do not offer freerolls so I hardly play there.

(now..)..7:45pm central time USA
BetOnline is down.



Site down all day.
I spent over 30 minutes on live chat and was told goodbye after posting a follow up question about a tourney Ticket I was waiting on. (could've been a "thought yuh wuz done thing)..who knows.

BetOnline Site has been down allday, with not twitter or Facebook updates on reasoning. I for one would think they site would at a minimum keep posting "sorry..we're trying". lol
Like I said, I spent over 30 minutes with them around 7pm central time USA, questioning them not only on the site being down..but also about money lost in crashed cash games. They skirted the issue on every single question for the most part, even once posting a copy of their "it's not our fault" contract clause. I don't know if that means money lost is money lost or not. They NEVER would directly answer the questions. Every answer was a shroud of generic response, most assuredly intended to not answer the questions directly at all costs...even "customers" (aka players) frustration in the obtaining direct answers.

Just wanting to add SITE DOWN date to this thread just for logging it for anyone reading the thread because of a word search.

Or anyone considering putting money on the site.

I personally just deposited for the first time 2 days ago after playing freerolls for 6 weeks to check the site out. I downloaded the poker both Mobile and Desktop back in January after reading it was a US Player friendly site here on Cardschat.
I'll keep playing the site when it's back up...for a bit and see what happens.

As far as a rigged site.....
seems legit to me so far. But...I don't play alot of ALLIN PREFLOP POCKET ACE hands either. More pointedly...I'll tend to fold one FAST deep in the tourney after 1st break.




anywhoo....
BOL down allday


good luck at the tables,
real or imagined.

:D

I have been playing the CC freerolls on both BOL and SB for about 8 months now, and I have not seen anything close to your claims. And most of the time the people who make it into the money on those freerolls are the same people who make it into the money on the ACR freerolls. The software is the same for all the poker games, and it makes no sense to be rigged anyways, on the cash tables the site takes the same rake regardless of who wins the pot. But if you are so sure that your statistics have any value, why don't you play according to them, and go all in before the flop with 72, that should guarantee you winning the hand 72.99% of the time according to your stats. And one more thing, what is a MIT graduate? I am asking just because someone who truly graduated from MIT would be an MIT graduate...
