    Default Jazette-sportsbook.com in desperation mode.Cancelling all minnows accounts.

    It looks like Jazette is going after what they think are nuisance bettors that use bonuses and free bets and switch around to other books in their family of sportsbooks.

    They got me yesterday and I called them to state my case that I shouldn't be on their bad list but to no avail,they figured I was like the kid at the carnival that was getting too good at shooting the bent gun or throwing the basketball in the milk can where I was a thorn in their side.Another guy I know had it happen to him that way yesterday too.It's like they have a guy like WC Fields at Jazette telling the nuisance bettors,''get out of here kid,your bothering me''hehe!

    It sounds like they hired some new manager to evaluate all accounts.It seems like everything these days is getting lean and mean and the deals are drying up fast!I think it's getting to the point where we are going to have bank runs soon with what is called a fractional currency crisis.I woke up in the middle of the night and listened to Coast to Coast with George Noory and he had a couple banking-financial experts on that said we are headed into an abis.Costco has reported that people are actually hoarding food.It's going to get bad so people better prepare.

    Brent:

    Did they at least pay you or simply confiscate the funds?

    It was good that I took most everything out not that long ago but was thinking on making a decent deposit to play March Madness and baseball with.

    Jazette are out of their minds to cut their ties with one of the most notorious high-rollers the forums have ever seen.

    That's a pretty good analogy. But, this isn't a new thing. It's been going on for a good year or so now. Two+ years if you go back to the cases they reversed. I'm surprised they didn't wait until you deposited and confiscated that saying they are taking your lifetime bonuses away.

    Jazette books seem to really be hitting the skids. They offer bonuses then simply confiscate funds to make up for the bonuses that they offered in the first place. They run like 50 different sportsbooks all with the exact same odds and similar bonus offers, so it's natural for a person to simply open up a new account at a new site when they have used up the bonus at one of the other sites BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE EXACT SAME LINE AND SERVICE. So they skip from site to site collecting sign up bonuses and have the advantage over the sportsbook. The first question is WHY OPERATE 50 DIFFERENT SPORTSBOOKS WITH THE SAME LINES?? I've never understood it, everybody knows about sportsbook.com it is probably the best known online sportsbook in the world along with Bodog so why not just stick with that one and promote it and then you'd have no problem with bonus abuse. If they use the same name and address why not block them from opening an account if you don't want to give them bonuses at each of your 50 sites, it couldn't be that hard. But letting them open an account at each of your 50 sportsbooks giving them bonuses and then just keeping their money when they win gives you an incredibly bad reputation that would scare off anyone smart enough to research a sportsbook before depositing.

    Part of the theory behind having skins is that some recreational gamblers, as the losses mount, begin to feel their book is cursed with bad luck and thus search out a new one. Having 50 sites gives Sportsbook.com multiple nets to catch the same fish.

    Of course when some of the fish bite back, having those skins gives them a convenient excuse--"multiple accounts"--to defraud the winners.

    So what... everything is every sector is tightening the belt.. Go to a bar, sit there and eat popcorn without ordering anything... See how many days in a row you can do that before they do what SBooo and most others are now doing...

    As Bill said this is nothing new, they tightened up on this in the last half of 2005 when they were still under the Sportingbet ownership.
