Important: BOL has not processed a payout since Saturday!

I'm not a fan, but BOL isn't going anywhere

I just talked to them last week

BOL and Bookmaker are the only two great un-regulated sportsbooks left. It would be awful to lose one of them.

The owner from Bookmaker is a Billionaire with a lot of hidden money, is what someone just recently told me not a poster, won't name any names either lol.

Their too juicy for me overall with their prices don't like them personally.

i tend to agree, that is most likely what they say it is, just processor delays. Here is the good:

1. they have been the gold standard for nearly a decade now after cleaning up a terrible reputation in the late 2000s.
2. They manage their risk well and have paid for a really long time so they should have a pile of reserves to handle any downswing
3. The CS is still answering and all seems normal according to everyone i have spoken to

The bad:

1. They should communicate via email (even mass email) about the payout issues. It really shouldn't be up to the player to get on chat to get info.
2. The lack of detail given to the CS is disappointing. Detail calms people down

you cant blame them for NON communication via mass email...that would just be a run on the banks for everyone to withdraw

Also can't sell points back to them is a deal breaker for me.

 

[Miz]

yeah, possibly, but at a minimum have a detailed account for people that go on chat...

like, our processor had issues for 36 hours which created a backlog. It will take us approximately 5 days to clear up the backlog, etc.

even if they are wrong later, it is better than just shoulder shrugging

 

[Miz]

i agree, selling points would be huge improvement.

 

[pipe]

BTC shouldn't be an issue tbh j/s.

 

[Miz]

i am pretty sure some years ago they had some kind of cyber attack. They handled that better, i think they sent an email about it, which calmed everyone down

Not one of my favorites either.

their poker is very shady

That's my biggest gripe too. I sell points on BM all the time.

Good shit I love it.

I remember that.

And that completes the run on all sportsbooks having a knock against them. BoL and BM were treated like gods on here by people despite their weak bonuses because their reliable pay, in the end every book has it's day for better or worse.

 

[Ace7550]

It would be a lot better for them to make a public announcement about it than to have some dude with Jennifer Connelly as his avatar announce it for them.

 

[Miz]

i always wondered wtf that was hahahaha

its not about how hard you get it

its about how much you can take and keep moving forward


THATS HOW WINNING IS DONE

There is a connection between the bonuses and ability to pay. They are running a good business model there.

If the book that doesn't do the math and realize the great bonuses and offers they are giving eventually realized they got exploited and all of the sudden they run into liquidity issues and pay issues and even become "fly by night".

To say the books are good "despite their weak bonuses" undermines what's actually happening. They are reliable books not despite the weak bonus, but partly because of it. There's more to it, but there's a reason they have been what they've been for as long as they've been.

It's the business model.
