Better Rating system

[creaz1003]

Hello everyone, I am new to the community. I am in the midst of building a platform to help expose the books who put players into bad situations financially in the way they slow-pay or or no pay-you. Also to expose the made-up sportsbook handicappers. I also take on stories and complaints from other legitimate players in a sports club in order to have there stories told. Alot of people don’t have the time or energy to put out and keep up there story of there situation.

To start I am also frustrated with Bovada. They absolutely do bury the bonus rules in the terms and conditions. I will say in terms of the casino bonus they do tell you in what fashion you are allowed to bet. Basically what they say is you have to stick to one game and not bet more then 20% of your deposit value and you should stick to the same betting amount. So basically you wait until the casino odds of winning kick in and drain your bank roll. In real life if you walk into the casino and win $500 in BJ and want to play some slots. That would be cool. But in Bovada and other places that is considered moving from a low weighted game to a high waited game. So to be clear. Pick a game to play. Set your dollar amount to 20% of your deposit and wait until your money is gone. Or pray you hit a jackpot.

But in there defense that is there rule and our warning. So just don’t play in it.

Now with there sports % being 50% of the deposit. That’s a way for them to get people. If they make there rollover 10X the amount then there would not have to be a max bet wager.

I do know of several players who have been paid by Bovada. But eventually they will terminate your account. I am a players who account was suspended after 8 months of not using my account. I found out the person who referred me account had been suspended so I am assuming thats why mine was being I had not made a bet in 8 months with them.

The only way any justice will be served is if people just stop playing. Stop thinking they will be the one to have a good experience. For example I have read countless Bet US complaints. They are tragedy stories yet each search has them as a top book. How is that even possible. I am trying out each sports book one by one. So I know that I am throwing $100 into the river. If I did not know any better I would have gave them my actual business. But this is for my own personal experience.

The ratings given need to be earned honestly by them.

Circumstance has a lot to do with those tragedy stories, people don't generally rush to make posts about their good experiences, we just complain about the bad ones.

So you’re going to change the world and expose corruption - drain the swamp of the liars and crooks eh ?

Good luck - perhaps if you would have started your quest in 1996 or so - people would care and benefit. Alas - your a couple of decades to late to the party - offshore has came and gone through a few boom/bust cycles and now the majority of the audience knows who are reliable - and who are scammers. People will continue to take risk on certain shops because of promo/bonuses. It’s a certainty with these places that you’re playing musical chairs with your money - the music eventually stops and some players will be left without a seat and holding a balance that means nothing.

It’s getting harder and harder for the big shops even - more legalized gambling means less square customers for the taking - your left with sharps and those outside the US in countries without gaming options. Oh - there will remain various “hustlers” and you will likely see credit making an appearance more and more - kind of a hybrid model of “trusted” clients.

But yea - save your energy in trying to build a new rating system and changing the system. It’s too late for that - the number of new gamblers out there turning to offshore is minuscule. The new ones in the US are all going to the apps - with some of those discovering offshore for various reasons. You might as well be offering a review on blacksmiths and wagon wheel makers as offshore books at this time.
