Ok whatever story you guys have about any sportsbook, this story takes the freaking cake.
A friend of mine, who used to have a huuuge gambling problem that almost made him lose everything, had stopped gambling and was working a normal 9-5
He gets an email from a crappy sportsbook, he hadn't used in 2 years and it tells him happy Birth Day, you have 50 bucks sitting in your account.
OK he says what the hell, i stopped gambling but, 50 free bucks i cant just let sit there
So he logs into the site, and sees the money there, he takes it into a baccarat table and starts betting small.
Ok long story short after a half hour he builds his stack up to 5K
OK here is where it gets interesting, this is a guy who really needs money, and hasn't gambled in years.
In the past he would have tried to make 10K+ now he has control, and he wants to cash out the 5K
He calls up the sportsbook, and tells them he wants to cash out, they put him on hold for ten minutes and than tell him, "sorry to inform you, but the max cashout from a free money bonus is 100 bucks" :monsters-
Than the CS rep tells him to read the rules and reg next time, my friend asks if the rep is sure, the rep responds he is 100% sure, the max he can withdraw is 100 bucks
My friend is really pissed and bummed :discuss:, but copes with the "rules"
Just for the hell of it, he enters the table again and says for Shits and Giggles how much theoretically could he have built it up to, he starts betting crazy bets for fun, all the time laughing
He kept betting 500 on stupid 10-1 odds
10 minutes later his stack is down to 300 and he wants to cashout the 100 he could, he calls up and tells them he wants to cashout 100, the Rep tells him "sir you can withdraw the full ampunt of 300 if you like" :monsters-:monsters-:think2::realtongu:nohead:
He's like, but the previous rep told me its max 100 with the bonus money, she tells him thats only for new customers, he is an existing customer so all the money is available for him. :discuss::youmad:
My friend is now really really pissed!
They played a game on him i am sure, and he now has been drawn back into the gambling ring, and he told me that he has to put money into a sportsbook now to make "back" the 5K or he wont be able to sleep for a while.
This Fucking free 50 possibly can ruin his life again
Now whoever read this far, you tell me the sportsbook, wasn't doing anything they can to avoid payment, i mean does he have any chance of getting some of his money back? :smoker2:
