4/16/2010 9:01:52 AM
A player deposited €90 into his
Oddscompany (unrated) account on March 24th. After increasing his balance to €286.10 he requested a withdrawal to Moneybookers on April 11th. At this point
Oddscompany removed all winnings from the player's account and charged an €88.20 processing fee due to his account using the same IP address as another player.
Oddscompany: As mentioned before we found out that two accounts in our database have used exactly the same IP-adress. The fact that several other factors in these accounts are exactly the same, it was obvious for us that you made a double account. This is according to our GTC’s not allowed. XIII. Supplementary conditions for online bets (Internet bets)
5. Only one registration per user is allowed and the account-keeping and the placement of bets are only on one’s own account. In case of violation, all opened betting accounts of the user will be closed, all placed bets and all movements on the betting accounts will be cancelled. For the cancellation the bookmaker will charge the user € 100,00 for every affected betting account. The payout of possible winnings of the affected betting accounts is not possible.
Therefore we cancelled all your bets and winnings and charged a fee of 88,20 as you had not enough money on your account.
The player informed SBR that upon opening his account he supplied a copy of his passport and debit card to Oddscompany to verify his identity. As for being linked to another IP address, the player has stated that he has placed bets through a university computer. SBR is following up with Oddscompany.
