Default SportsInteraction Closed my account....

They said they closed it for excessive winnings! I have been betting with them since 2004 and had lost my fair share of money with them! Recently I went on a nice streak of winnings around 17,000 or so over the last month and a half. They decided to close my account for winning some of my money back! Stay away from this sportsbook as they only want losers to bet with them! I cant upload the chat log as I took a couple of screen shots of the live chat! Absolute crap sportsbook! If you would like to see it email me at michael_rahmann@hotmail.com

Michael,

Any sportsbook can reject a player for any or no reason. Pat yourself on the back for beating them, and move on. As long as they pay you in full, they are within their rights to close your account.

Ok fair enuff I guess. I just wanted to warn others out there of this behavior. Why do they have a C- rating with you guys?

I believe most of that C- rating is due to poor customer service. I have had nothing but positive experiences with them.

Their payouts, though, are painfully slow sometimes.

Now days not many sportsbooks that will let you take them for five figures betting 500 a game on soft lines. I say that is pretty fair.

Seems to be standard operating procedure, and just something that has to be accepted in this industry. Will Hill, Stan James, 5Dimes, Betongames: I've been tossed by all of them for the same reason. Just the way it is; No hard feelings, just a business decision on their part.....

Sports Interaction always does this at some point if you're winning; they're honest and up front about what they're doing and why. As Justin says, they can kick anyone they want, and I took it as a badge of honor: If you can't get banned from Sports Interaction, you need to get better!

These books dont realize they would get it all back if they left the player keep betting, players lose everything back long term.

SIA is a really solid book. Been playing there for years. The D+ rating is ridiculous in my opinion and is not justified at all. I'll start a thread on this soon....
