Betway confiscates €2453 in winnings citing shared environments

8/21/2010 12:37:28 PM


A Betway (SBR rating D-) player deposited €500 on April 1st. Over the course of 4.5 months the player wagered with Betway and increased his balance to €2953. On August 15th he asked for his first withdrawal. Betway then closed the player's account and confiscated his €2453 in winnings, accusing him of operating his account within a "shared environment". Betway has made the same claim before without providing IP logs to SBR or following up on sportsbook inquiries. Betway has not yet returned the player's €500 deposit.
