How likely are you to get limited by a US sportsbook playing a few times a week?

[dippdogg2002]

I have an account on every Sportsbook available in my state in the hopes of keeping myself from being limited...I will use one account and bet a few games one week and then the next etc..say I win 10 grand on draftkings withdraw and not play again for a few weeks do you guys think they won't limit me? I don't wanna get all my accounts limited basically is what I'm asking...thanks for any info you can provide

[Roger T. Bannon]

It depends on how much you bet. If you win $10,000, you will get limited.

[DontTailMe]

It depends on what you're betting on and how much you're winning.

Having many accounts and spreading your action around is smart, as it can delay being limited. But it won't prevent you from being limited. Eventually, they'll figure you out. It may just take longer.

This is as much a function of what and how your betting as it is how much you’re winning.

Turns out it also matters what state you’re in, so strategies and advice can differ, along with the function above.

Where are you, what are you betting?

[dippdogg2002]

Even if I'm playing big parlays for "fun" and to make them think I'm a complete idiot lmao...I was always told play huge parlays to make them think your a recreational trying to get lucky and hit a big payday

I'm in Tennessee....I play big stupid parlays with what I call "expendable" funds to make them think I'm and idiot but then I go and make my big money bets on the games I'm sure about in singles and usually just a few at a time like a couple hundred on Nets or Cowboys etc (just examples) to fatten my wallet

[d2bets]

"Limited" isn't a single thing either, it's all the extent. I mean, really, every book has limits. I assume you mean being limited to something well below the max that book offers to most players, which also varies by state, book, sport, etc.

So it's a very detailed question and it also depends what you're looking to bet. With the caveat that states vary a lot, I do not believe you will be limited severely at Draftkings for winning -- and $10,000 is tiny little potatoes. At least not currently, again with the caveat that Draftkings could change of course at any time.

However, and I'll mention it here, because I'm curious if others have experienced this or if it's just me and others like me... I can bet a fairly decent amount on major US sports at Draftkings. I'd like to be able to bet more, but it's not bad and most would think the number is high. But the "limiting" I recently experienced is an odd one that I've never seen at any book -- it's a 1 bet limit. Meaning if I bet on the Brooklyn spread tonight pregame, I can bet that once and only once (regardless of line/odds move) -- whether that bet is for $1 or $5,000. Very very odd. Same for live -- one and done. This is fairly recent. Curious if anyone else that uses Draftkings has seen this lately?

A couple hundred is nowhere near the limit and won't draw any attention at all. Do you know what your limit bet is on those events?

[Waterstpub87]

considering Draftkings took a 5,000 bet from me on an NFL moneyline, (not a big shot, hedging my Caesars risk free bet), and it filled immediately without a delay, I don't think they are sweating a couple hundred. Stick to NBA and NFL and you'll be fine. From experience, offshore books really hated college basketball totals.

[Roger T. Bannon]

If you are playing parlays, there is not much chance you will get limited. It all depends on the book. In the US, you will probably get limited just for winning at a certain amount. DraftKings you can probably win more.

If you are banging away with max bets and hitting 56%, you are getting limited pretty fast.

The more things you bet, the less likely you will get limited.

Most people bang away at books and get limited by accident which is a big mistake.

That is how you want to bet. Basically no chance you are getting any kind of limit that way. I would not worry about it. I would not even worry about the parlays. If you are betting $200, you can probably bet forever unless you are hitting 56% forever or something in which case you should think about increasing your bet size.

That one bet limit sucks. Shows how stupid these US operators are. DK has not done that to me but other SBTech books have. Try to bet again I get "you have reached your maximum limit" Even if I only bet $5, that's it, locked out. Same nonsense with futures, one bet and done, even as odds get updated throughout the season.

So then I take it this is a targeted thing. Damn. Why wouldn't they just reduce my limits more, but not do the bizarre one bet thing? Other books, like Fanduel, have a cumulative limit, which certainly makes more sense. I mean, I bet $1 and I can't make another bet? Nutty. Why not just allow bets up to overall limit.

[dippdogg2002]

Yeah I'm not trying to bang a book as hard as I can but in TN we also have William Hill and Ive heard nightmares about them.. I just figured playing parlays with some throwaway money would hide the fact that "oh he just hit a couple of grand a few days in a row we don't want him" ..someone told me once also if your not arbing and taking advantage of bad lines you might escape the dreaded limiting....Im nowhere near hitting 56% consistently but I do use a labby line for my losses...I would assume they would watch for those kinds of things but I try to chase my losses using a different book..I'm just paranoid by nature lol

You've definitely been targeted. I'm surprised DK did that to you. They already have that bet delay where bets get sent for approval. Ridiculous.

You should be okay. It's not so much about winning, but more about taking good lines. I got cutoff at one book after losing 5 figures. I guess they figured they should quit while they're ahead.

Only live bets are delayed (processing). Pregame bets up to limit go through immediately. It used to get sent for approval, but that was changed.

in live in Nevada and from my experience there is no limiting of sports bets. that's an off shore term/concept. what i have seen is that a few books will close winning accounts and trespass "due to compliance issues" i have had friends had that happen to them at station casinos, will hill and circa.

What is Will hill so scared of? I hear they limit the most and sometimes they don't even have major soccer leagues to bet on....I was looking for a Brazil Series A bet one time a few weeks ago and they didn't have it but literally everyone else did including BetOnline and that's the one thing BetOnline is lacking in Soccer...I thought it was ridiculous

Same. Could be worse, I guess. it’s cool I can still bet like $5k on some stuff, but obnoxious when I have a bunch of $5 freebets

What are the limits at your TN books for NFL, CFB, NBA?

[dippdogg2002]

What are the limits at your TN books for NFL, CFB, NBA?

1,000,000 for NFL NBA and MLB
250,000 for NCAAF and NHL
Those are maximum win per bet supposedly

Not quite enough? What are you worried about getting limited to?

That's ridiculous. Could you screenshot where it says that? Vegas will occasionally take those bets on super-spotlighted games or from people they can earn off otherwise, but there's no way that's the widely available limit of an online corporate sports book.

[dippdogg2002]

No being "limited" is when you keep winning and they decide you can only bet 10 a game or parlay after being able to get 1000 in action

Its funny ....and I haven't read all the threads in this post. But the conversations in the forum posts is slowly shifting from " XXX book stole from me" to, I'm getting limited.
What's the next state likely to approve online sports betting.

There's a difference between maximum payouts in the sportsbook rules to be used as an ultimate backstop...and the actual betting limits which are applied to the actual betting markets found on the website at any given time.

But I do always love these threads where someone asks about being limited before there are any significant profits or signs of being limited. Talk about putting the cart way before the horse.

[Natty68]

Only gonna get worse as they eliminate competition. Show some aptitude banging their live markets and you'll really feel the love

I can screenshot it sure but to answer your other part yes you can always place a bigger wager than the standard limit and let them approve it. But it has to be approved..and that's exactly how it works when you get limited. You can try to bet 1000 for instance and it will only put your stake as 36 or some asinine number like that with a notice saying you have reached the limits on your account blah blah blah and every bet you place has to be approved when your limited...it's not fair at all but that's the state of things at the moment

That's not the reason I'm asking...I'm asking in order to come up with a possible strategy in order to not get limited...I'm not going to go into my personal finances but I'm enjoying spending time with my family and having Christmas this year fully secured....but for how long before I'm playing for change and living in a cardboard box? P.S I'm being dramatic to get my point across

I have been limited in Vegas, at most places, actually.

They aren't usually as extreme, or as quickly, as offshore though.

Yes, that can happen at certain books (hello Kambi books Rivers, SugarHouse, Barstool), but I don't think you're seeing that at Drafatkings or most other books.
