    BetOnline Review
    2 weeks since I opened an account. So far so good. I've been winning there so I guess that's 90% of the battle

    Customer service has been pretty good. I have yet to experience a long wait on hold when calling in.

    15 and 25% bonuses on every deposit is a nice perk

    I e-mailed a copy of my drivers license, utility bill, and CC yesterday, and I was verified for payouts within an hour or so. Very impressed. No long wait and it was nice not being hassled with sending "clearer copies/pictures" or extra verification live I've experienced before.

    Site is clean and easy to use. Mobile site is the best. Super convenient to use and place a bet on my iPhone when I'm not at home

    Live betting lines are incredible. Games stay on the board at all times and the lines are quickly updated during breaks/inbetween innings. Tons of live-betting options

    The only complaint I have so far is that the fees on withdrawals are kind of steep. Although you can get $50 refunded on withdrawal fees if you request payout on Fridays between 9am-1pm EST. You have to state at the time of withdrawal that you want to take advantage of the refund. Refund only available 1 time per month

    Last night around midnight I requested an $800 withdrawal via one of the popular person to person money couriers. Max withdrawal via this method was $800, which is slightly annoying.

    Today at 12EST the payout was confirmed and I'm told I should receive pick-up information within 12-36 hours.

    I know there have been reports of BetOnline having trouble paying out, and also slow-pay... so I'm hoping they stick to their word of 12-36 hours.

    Overall very happy with the book so far, will update back here about the payout

    I was told the same about my payout with Moneybookers: it was immediately approved and i had been told i would be paid within 36 hours with Moneybookers.... i have been waiting for 2 weeks now. No money. And no answer to my last emails. So in your place, i wouldn't be too satisfied about Betonline. Ok bonus is great ...But there's no interest if one can not be paid or has to wait one month to be paid! Betonline is for sure the worst book i've ever experienced concerning payout delays, and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you don't want to worry about your money, one advice:keep away from betonline.

      Decent book. I've never had a problem personally with it. Easy to deposit -- that's for sure.

          I won't say contrary, easy to deposit, for sure :-) problems arrive when they have to pay you...

            Yea i have heard negative reviews, but they have always been a solid book for me, they always find a way to get out of giving me my bonuses, but other then that

                    Just received this e-mail from BetOnline at 3:48 PST. This was just 6 hours after my payout request was reviewed and approved

                      Cash in hand.

                      Quick N easy, no hassle whatsoever

                      Money was ready to be picked up at the courier 6 hours after the payout was accepted

                      Don't know how they got all the negative reviews in the past but maybe they have cleaned up their act.

                      Great work BetOnline. A+

                          Nice.

                          Guess the issues come when you try and cash out five-figure amounts. Unfortunately, I've never had that problem.

                            Lol...Yea I'm trying to work around those issues with high payout requests. Plus their P2p max withdrawal is $800 and it's the quickest way to get your money. Screw waiting for a check.

                            My plan is to wait til Friday for the $50 off withdrawal and keep hitting them for $800 p2ps. Seems like the quick n easy way to go

                                Same with CBB, which they often opened first last year. Would love to play with them, but I'm hearing too much static. Does anyone know if they're going to deal all NBA games live?

                                  I have noticed this as well

                                  Just this week in the NFL a couple of the opening lines were off at least a point from the other "sharp" books

                                    They said they will have most of the games, if not all

                                    Changes on a daily basis but most all games should be covered

                                    Bookie no complaints for me so far. Same day payout, no hassles

                                      Requested a $1,000 payout via wire on Friday 10/26

                                      $45 fee, but I took advantage of the $50 credit on Fridays between 9-1 EST

                                      So the payout was free, but I also have to wait up to 7 business days. If you need the money sooner, just pay the $80 for p2p, which would be reduced to $30 after the $50 refund on Fridays

                                      Will update soon on the status of the payout and let ppl know how long it takes

                                            Stop gambling and save up enough money to move out.

                                                Any type of bill addressed to you at your address will do. For example a cable or cell phone bill. Bank statement also works

                                                  solid book for a guy happy with p2p withdrawls, if somone has a high 5 figure balance it appears and requests multiple express checks they take longer than advertised according to many SBR posters. I have even been told by live help it's best to do p2p.

                                                    I am considering to open account at Betonline. I can bet anywhere (not in US) but bonus on every deposit is tempting. I am not sure yet, as i read all kind of different opinions about Betonline here at SBR.
                                                    ??? Should i stick with Pinn and SBO instead? I play singles mostly european soccer and NBA. And all tennis.

                                                      Unless you are scalping Betonline for the bonus, I would stick with Pinnacle or SBO. If you are a European player, I guess you will be deposting using an ewallet like Skrill or Neteller? Just look back through recent threads and you will see BOL constantly delay paying out via ewallets; sometimes taking up to a month to pay. If you stick with SBO or Pinnies you will get paid within minutes.

                                                        I don't know why someone would want, or need for that matter, a five figure balance in an offshore book. It doesn't really make sense with the betting limits they have

                                                        I started to get nervous reaching about 5k so I started withdrawing

                                                          $45 fee, but I took advantage of the $50 credit on Fridays between 9-1 EST

                                                          So the payout was free, but I also have to wait up to 7 business days. If you need the money sooner, just pay the $80 for p2p, which would be reduced to $30 after the $50 refund on Fridays

                                                          Will update soon on the status of the payout and let ppl know how long it takes
                                                          Still no wire received. It technically has only been 4 business days though

                                                          Decided to request another maximum $800 p2p payout on Tues Night 10/30 at 10:20 PM PST

                                                          Received notification at 4 PM PST the next day, Weds 10/31 that the payout was ready to be picked up. Looks like the p2p payouts are solid for same day or overnight delivery, even when requesting the maximum payout. Works for me

                                                          Will update soon on the status of the $1,000 wire payout

                                                            Man, still no wire received.

                                                            Have contacted them multiple times, keep telling me there is a delay. Supervisors ask me to be patient and it should be in my account soon. They've been feeding me these lines for over a week now

                                                            Moral of the story is never do a payout other than p2p with BetOnline unless you're prepared to wait weeks or even months

Also, by creating such long delays with their payouts, they're limited the players ability to get the freeplay bonus on every deposit like they advertised
