4 months ago, an acquaintance transfered money from his Sportbet account to my Sportbet account to settle a debt. I don't know what security precautions they took with the other account holder other than talking to him.

I bet occasionally in that account, and lost a few thousand. I've been trying to get a payout for the last several weeks, and they are jerking me around. They want my ID, fine. Then they want the ID from the guy who sent me the money 4 months ago. He no longer has a stake in the matter - I credited the amount of the transfer amount to him.

Sportbet talks to the guy, and he verifies the transfer (that was already given to me 4 months ago). I get him to send the ID. Sportbet tells me they never got it. I have the email forwarded to me, showing they got it. Sportbet changes their mind. They got it, but can't read it. I hassle the guy to scan his ID, and send a quality image. He does. Sportbet talks to him again. They want him to email Sportbet from the email account he signed up with who knows how many years ago. He doesn't use that email anymore, does not remember the email password, and cannot remember his zip code from wherever he was from whenever he signed up years ago, so he can't get the password.

Why is Sportbet making me jump through these hoops, when I've been able to bet the money for the last 4 months? They have both our IDs and have spoken to both of us plenty of times. I've been involved in literally hundreds of account-account transfers. This is the first time I've ever been jerked around by anyone like this.

If Sportbet wants to do a full-body cavity search, it should be done BEFORE the transfer, not months later. At this point, it looks like I'm screwed for want of an obsolete email address.

Dumb behavior by Sportbet.

If it's just about his e-mail address, your friend should be able to get the zip codes from where he has lived in the past years. Right?

Is it a yahoo or msn account by any chance?

He tried, and couldn't get it to work. I don't know what his email was.

[Dark Horse]

If you can find out the e-mail address, maybe we (someone here) can crack it for you.

[The General]

This should be easily resolved. I don't get it. The money was put into your account so the money is yours.

[AMBlai01]

Wow....it isn't like $8200 is an obscene amount of money either....Pretty sad.

[The General]

Justin, I have sent this thread to them and hope to hear back soon.

[Dark Horse]

I don't understand what their argument is. Where exactly do they see a security risk?

[Justin7]

Justin, I have sent this thread to them and hope to hear back soon.

Thanks.

I did not get this part.

[pico]

you got screwed

[fiveteamer]

What's not to get? Data you were supposed to have made it.

Some pretenders made it on your list.

[Hells Kitchen]

Justin, I have sent this thread to them and hope to hear back soon.

Dear sportbet, I, Hells Kitchen do solemly promise to NEVER send any of my money to your top shelf book. Well done clowns!

I wonder if these turds realize this bad publicity will filter throughout the various sportbetting message boards.

[tomcarter]

Does jake still work over at sportbet. if he does ,justin you should talk to him. a solid guy and a really good book, at least a few years ago when he was there.

It has been 2 years since I played there but if Jake is still a manager over there ,he should clear this up. I always liked this book, I hope this gets worked out for you justin. It sounds like someone higher up over there needs to get involved.This is not good publicity, just sounds like a lot of bureaucratic bs to go through.

[Data]

The story has so many holes, I doubt that Justin7 is telling it how it really is. Disappointed.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I did not get this part.

Agreed. What was the arrangement between this "acquaintance" and Justin? Does that mean he transferred the original amount (or some other amount) back to this account holder? If so, perhaps that's where the issue lies. If the original payment were to pay a debt, why would an additional transfer be in order? Or is it simply stating that the debt was settled by the transfer regardless of the outcome of the payout from Sportbet?

Sportbet is a very unsafe book, I would advise anyone playing there to get out quick.

Play at these books and do not have silly issues

I assume he's saying that he considered the debt settled- not that any money actually went back. Guy owes Justin money. Guy ships Justin ~10k on sportbet. Sportbet has no issues, moves the money, and lets him play with it. Justin tells guy that they're all squared up. Sportbet turns into little bitches when they have to pay out that ridiculously humongous balance.

That is how I interpreted it as well.

That would be it.

justin please keep us posted an sorry for you troubles ....i dont think they have any idea who they are messing with ...i hope everyone is taking note of this and not signing up with this book until justin gets paid

[pimike]

Justin,

This is your field sir. If SBR can't talk them into the right thing, I know some some guys from CW that may be able to get your money

[mathdotcom]

sportbet has long been known to be a shady book - you should know better

[therber2]

Time to break some fingers

[frostno98]

Would you care to elaborate, either way it's going to justifiable.

Jake the lying "snake". Sportbet is a very shady sportsbook. Many threads about these crooks in years past.

Precisely, that is what makes Justin7 accepting supposed 5 figures debt settlement without asking for any clarification from the book on withdrawing procedures very suspectable. On the other hand, his "trusting" totally makes sense in case of the bonus abuse.
