Hey bros,

Hope you guys are having a fun day,

Does anybody know if bet365 actually limits players, or is that just some kind of fallacy that certain people use?

I currently use Pinnacle, but they are giving me issues recently.

If someone can shed some light on this, that would be great.

Thanks

Bet365 will limit you if you are a winning player but oher than that they are a good book.

I see. Okay thats what I thought.

So, is Pinnacle the only one that doesn't limit?

Stake let's Drake bet 2million, give them a shot

I'm currently in Ontario, Canada and Stake doesn't allow me in yet, lol

Was limited a long time ago at BET 365 to approximately $2 a bet, eventually opened an account in a girlfriends name, and was quickly limited there as well. As far as I'm concerned the nickname Bet $3.65 is totally accurate. There are many others I have been limited at including Youwager, Heritage, Everygame, SIA, Bodog/Bovada, and some I can't even remember.
Perhaps easier to list the ones where I still play without having been limited:
Bookmaker/Just Bet
BOL/SBAG
Wager Web
Betphoenix

Bet365 stopped limiting people to peanuts years ago.

They are the same as any other corporate and will limit you if you look sharp, but these days they only hammer you to nothing when they are fairly sure you are gnoming or multi-accounting.

Not much left in the world now that wont limit like Pinny used to be. Bookmaker and Betonline are still kinda sorta like Pinny but they have been slipping since US regulation started too.

SBR has 36 Ontario licensed sites reviewed here https://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-sites-ontario/

You might be able to get down all you need using a few of them at a time for a while

I have heard that Circa does not limit. I'm looking forward to them joining the Illinois market.

Good point. Are Circa Sports live in Ontario?

I see. Okay. Thanks Optional, for the words of input.

Currently, Pinnacle is threatening to limit my account, because I told them I was unemployed. So I'm going to send in documents of bank statements showing that I'm well off, and also tell them I recently got a new job , because I specifically chose them because of their "high limit" brand.

In the meanwhile, while they're figuring that out and letting me withdraw 15,000 CAD, I'm going to be using bet365 most likely.

I find it rather intrusive, but hopefully they return my account to full status.

Thanks

Thanks

They are trying to comply with responsible gambling and AML agreements, under which they cannot keep taking larger deposits than an average person could afford without making sure you have a legal source of income able to support that. To make sure you are not either not destroying your life or using illegal funds.

You'll probably need to supply a pay slip or employment agreement to support your new job claim. And even then, if the salary is not extra large, they still cant take extra large action.

Thye wont want to just see how much you have in an account. They will want to know the source of that money. So an inheritence letter etc would work there for example.

if you say you win gambling be prepared to be able to supply all your betting records from all books. I would try to avoid that route if i was you. It's not only painful to prove, a lot of people never get through it and lose the account totally in the end anyway.

I can only go from SBR reviews (which are actually useful and good now) and what Canucks post about those books. I personally use Bet365 and Unibet from the ones open there, but they are both rec focused really.

Icon and Bluehorseshoe and a couple of others are best ones to ask. I'd make a post in the Ontario forum and ask this question there https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...ports-betting/

**yorkhounder77** · 01-10-23, 01:34 PM

Wow, ok. Yeah like so this month alone, I averaged around 200 grand with betting transactions on Pinnacle.

So it sounds like my paystubs/statements, have to play around that ballpark.

I see. Thanks again, Optional

**yorkhounder77** · 01-10-23, 01:42 PM

Optional,

If I send in my bank statements alone, and it shows that I'm not harming my life or using illegal funds, do I still need to mention about the new job? Or should I save that card for later?

Thanks
