I turned over $1.344M with Sportsbet.com - https://imgur.com/a/gFB14gl

[MiliMil]

I have been gambling since the age of 21 (now 31).

I place the majority of my bets with Sportsbet who are the largest online bookmaker in Australia.

Between June 2022 and November 2022 I turned over $1.344M and over $961k in August 2022 alone.

I was at the pub today with a few friends and they all received $100 bonus bets and I received nothing.

They each turned over less than $500 in the month of December 2022 and $300 in the month of January 2023.

I turned over $200k in December 2022 and already $88k in January 2023 so I called to ask why I haven't received any bonus promotions after spending a lot of money and the answer given was because I have a winning position against Sportsbet in the last 12 months.

This has left me VERY angry and proved to me there is no loyalty amongst these gambling companies regardless of how much money you spend.

I have decided to permanently close my account on 30/01/2023. The reason for this date is because I have a six figure NFL bet (Kansas City Chiefs to win their conference) which is playing on the 29/01/2023.

I am writing this to remind you guys that these greedy companies have ZERO loyalty or respect for their players and to never forget that. Make sure you have accounts with different sportsbooks and don't be afraid to look around for better offers.

A friend of mine has introduced me to his sportsbook and I will be signing up with them ASAP. He bets between $10,000-$20,000 a month and has received very generous bonus offers for the last 18 months straight.

I have posted my activity statement ending in November 2022 and will upload more when I have the time to access them.

If you look at the bottom it will you show you my monthly stakes from June 2022 - November 2022.

If the story is actually true, then that's a fantastic result for the player. Still, I think this is purely about advertising he wants to make for the sportsbet site.
Why would someone post how much money they won on a gambling site? If I had won that much, I would prefer to keep it to myself. I certainly wouldn't want other people to find out that I would have won that much money. You can only risk it that way. Well, maybe people think differently. 1.4 million is a lot of money, by the way. Will gambling sites actually pay that to players?

I think you are confused.

The picture is from MY betting account.

I posted it to show you how greedy and pathetic these gambling companies are.

I turned over close to $1M in a single month and these vultures refuse to give me a bonus.

At least they don't refuse to give you a pay-out.  Well, if you are not contented with the platform service then better leave that platform (which I think you planned on doing)  And thank you for letting us know your first hand experience on this platform.  Most casinos and gambling platform have VIP rankings and player receives benefits from it, I bet you are also enjoying those perks? 

On the bonus promotion, does it needs to be activated?  If it does need to be activated and you failed to do so, no matter how large money you wagered, you will never receive the bonus.  And if the bonus received by your friend comes from a cashback (part of the lost money) and you are in green, then you will never receive a cashback since cashback is calculated from the amount of money you lost in the gambling platform.

That is huge amount mate, I remember we have like discussions about boxing, right?

But I do agree that we should have at least play on different casinos, same as land based casinos here, we have the big 3, and I don't have specific which one I prefer to play because each one is very different as far as their promotions and loyalty programs for their clients.

Maybe you can message them here as to why you are not given any bonus because I think we can consider you as whale with the way you wager in them?

You are a heavy bettor for me you deserve a bonus even if you win a lot about your new find sportsbook it's better to post it so we can validate your friend's recommendation some people are posting this kind of stuff to promote other sportsbooks but this time I'm requesting it, I agree with your opinion to at least have 3 to 4 other casinos to bet so you can have a comparison on each casino because one casino is very much different from the other casinos.
You'll have the best casino if you keep exploring but always check the community's reviews.

Yes. I remember our boxing chats too

Unfortunately this is sportsbet.com not sportsbet.io (which is on this forum). I thought they were the same company up until a few weeks ago.

I am most definitely a whale but I only gamble what I can afford to lose.

I don't understand why these companies can't be very generous to customers and offer the highest RTP to players. They would still make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits but they are greedy and want to suck every dollar out of you.

[Rabi3]

I mean we all know that gambling industries don't like people who win, most casinos even prevent players from using their services if they win a lot, but I didn't know sportsbook discriminate against players who win too, I think this is the sportsbook you're using only though, I don't really think others would do the same, you need to find a new one if you really want those bonuses and free bets.

[goaldigger]

There might be a requirement to qualify for the bonuses, since playing alone can’t be guaranteed to receive such bonuses, you have to understand the mechanics and if you are aiming to receive such bonuses, then read the instructions. I see you’re a big player, your friend is so lucky to invite you because they are earning an affiliate reward from you. Anyway, if you’re not happy anymore with that site and looking for other place where you feel appreciated, that is a good one and I hope you can see that kind of site.

[dothebeats]

Unfortunately these gambling companies will only appreciate your business if you're on the losing side of the coin. But if not, well they would probably just treat you like shit and may even consider giving you a hard time getting your withdrawals done because of how much money you're costing them just by winning and winning your bets alone. It depends on the bookie too. Some platforms value their patrons very well that they even provide lots of bonuses and promotions albeit losing a lot to these big whales. They got this thinking that the gambler isn't always on the winning side of things, and that they will collect a huge payday eventually from this gambler.

This is quite unfortunate on your end. If I was betting big like you, and not receiving any form of 'thanks' by way of bonuses and promotions, I will also take my business elsewhere and let them reap the benefits of my presence there.

[bitbollo]

these bonuses are awarded at their discretion, and in general if you have a profit on the site and play this amount of money I don't think that the "small tip" of 100 usd could ultimately change your life.
now I don't remember why I haven't used their service for years, don't they have a vip service for customers who play substantial sums?

regarding the second part of your message "greedy companies" there is little to say, they are companies that have an interest and the sole purpose of making a profit (likewise any company!).
it is a fundamental aspect to ALWAYS keep in mind

Sportsbook often discriminate, you can find lots of player whining about being limited on their bet when they are winning.  I am surprised OP is not limited by the sportsbook because he is in green and the sportsbook is losing money to him.

Not all gambling companies, there are few that are generous despite of losing to a player.  They value customer relationship and loyal players too.  I believe @OP case has something to do with bonus requirements  and I somehow think that the bonus has something to do with the amount lost by a player and not by wagering amount.

They actually blocked me from placing a $100k USD bet two years ago on Novak to win the Australian Open. They gave me no reason.

These idiots just lost a whale who brings them a guaranteed 7 figure turnover annually because of their greed. I've had enough of their disrespect and will be moving elsewhere in the next few weeks.

I actually said that 'it depends on the bookie' too. There are some that remains generous to their patrons because they think that eventually, this whale will have a bad beat and it's best to keep them as a customer.

Haven't heard a lot of bookies awarding bonuses based on the amount lost of the customer. Also, OP didn't mention if those $500 bets posted losses or wins too, so it's really hard to jump the gun and favor the bookie in here. I think Sportsbet.com just wants to get rid of OP because they are losing too much money than they are getting from the OP. But I heard this bookie is one of the largest there is, so it's quite intriguing why they would treat a whale like that.

They really just want you out because you are bankrupting them too much

Good luck on your last bet mate. There really are some platforms that don't treat their customers/patrons right even if these same people are giving them huge payouts every now and then. They are only for the money and not really customer loyalty/engagement after all.

[robelneo]

They each turned over less than $500 in the month of December 2022 and $300 in the month of January 2023.

I turned over $200k in December 2022 and already $88k in January 2023 so I called to ask why I haven't received any bonus promotions after spending a lot of money and the answer given was because I have a winning position against Sportsbet in the last 12 months.

This has left me VERY angry and proved to me there is no loyalty amongst these gambling companies regardless of how much money you spend.

What your friends got is consolation for losing, but since you are winning you did not get any obviously they reward people for losing their money because they made a profit from people losing in their casino while you are a pain in the ass when you are winning, but I agree you have been playing for a long time in that casino there should have some sort of bonus, and not wait for you to lose huge for you to get a bonus, but at least your take is bigger than their bonus.
If they are not loyal to you then there's no reason for you to stick to them when there are so many casinos that know how to be gracious to their loyal members.

Maybe I'll create my own platform and offer maximum RTP to players and steal all their customers and bankrupt them instead

Thanks.

Will update you on my journey.

It won't change my life but it's the principle that matters. The greed of these people knows no limit.

I am shopping around for a new sportsbook. These parasites don't believe in customer loyalty so screw them.

[maydna]

You don't need to be angry with the difference in the services provided by Sportsbet or other sportsbooks because they can choose the people who will receive bonuses from them. And I think they give those bonuses to people who spend a lot of money and lose a lot to get them back to the casino and play more.

And if you win more than you lose, I don't think the casino will give bonuses to you too often because your wins are too many compared to other people. So if you feel uncomfortable playing at that casino, you can move to another casino that provides comfort.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

wow, you are a  big shot mate, if i have that much money to turn over even half of what you turned over on Sportsbet.com, trust me, bonus will never be a problem to me, as long as they obey my withdrawal requests each time i request one.

But i understand that we all reason differently and as well value things/stuffs differently, So i will not make the mistake of judging or trying to judge your decision of closing your Sportsbet.com account because of this which i see, you consider to be a big issue, i am sure that the casino probably thought to themselves that "you have a lot of money, and also have won a lot of money from them as well, you probably dont have any need for the bonus", but they failed to realized that money is never enough to many people.

Goodluck with your decision though.
