🚫 Sportsbooks Limits & Bans

When engaging with sportsbooks using Bet Hero, you might encounter account limitations or even bans, especially if you're consistently winning or applying strategies like arbitrage. This page will provide insights into why sportsbooks implement these measures and offer recommendations to extend the longevity of your accounts.

Why Do Sportsbooks Limit Winners?​

Sportsbooks limit winners to protect their profits and reduce risk. Consistent winning disrupts their revenue model, prompting them to restrict accounts that pose financial threats or exploit inefficiencies in their odds. By doing so, sportsbooks maintain market integrity and manage their exposure to variance.

💡 Recommendations to Avoid Limits and Bans​

It's important to note that completely avoiding limits is nearly impossible if you are successfully employing advanced betting strategies. However, you can implement certain tactics to maximize the lifespan of your account and continue betting effectively with Bet Hero:

  1. Mimic casual betting behaviors by placing some bets on popular sporting events in a relaxed manner. Incorporate parlays into your betting routine, as these are commonly associated with recreational bettors. Occasionally sprinkle in some non-arbitrage and individual bets.

  2. Round your stakes to whole numbers or common denominations. Avoid using decimals or oddly precise amounts, as these can make your betting style appear algorithmic or professional.

  3. Limit your bets on very obscure or niche leagues, as consistently betting on such markets can signal to sportsbooks that you are using a strategy that exploits inefficiencies or lesser-known edges.

  4. Don't rush to withdraw your winnings frequently.

  5. Distribute bets across multiple books.

By understanding why sportsbooks limit successful accounts and adhering to these recommendations, you can enjoy the benefits of Bet Hero for longer while maintaining a healthy and profitable relationship with various sportsbooks.

If you've found yourself limited by a sportsbook, don't worry — you still have several options to continue your betting journey:

  1. Evaluate Remaining Betting Limits: Determine what your new betting limits are and consider if it's still feasible to use the account for casual or smaller-scale betting.
