Was Canbet known as a shop that cut limits before they were bought by IAS? And does anyone have a prediction or guess if they will continue to cut limits now that IAS is the owner?

Thanks for the welcome, Fish. I thought I saw some older posts here that mentioned they were fairly consistent with cutting limits.

Big Game, they will indeed reduce one's limits if they don't like the way you bet. However, they seem to give more leeway than other paranoid books.

Overall, other than keeping the business afloat, I can't see any positives for punters in this takeover.

For one thing, I wonder how long the -107 lines will last?

This is a term I have a hard time understanding, "if they don't like how you bet???". Why is a book even in business if they don't want to book based on their rules and posted limits. Shouldn't there be a disclaimer before hand so a player is aware before signing up with that book? I know it's a method books use before some reach they rollover requirements to prolong the process.

G2G, I totally agree. If, and it's a big "if", this industry was regulated by the US govt., I could see this as a legal consumer protection issue. Here's the book's argument, "well, you see we are only in business to take peoples money, and when someone come along and wagers some money and happens to take some of ours, then we put a stop to it". It's like their motto should be, We are Not in the business of booking or taking wagers, we only want people to pour money into our accounts". No such thing as equal opportunity.

That's why I have a hard time believing ratings like SBR and TOW, who list books irrespective of their fairness to the business of taking wagers (or cutting limits) from winners.

What about their customer service....Used to send them an email and have an immediate response. Today it is over 5 Hours and still nothing.

Any thoughts?
