Stryyke confiscates €750 from player
Stryyke (SBR rating D-) has confiscated €750 from a player claiming the player was guilty of "fraudulent activity on (his) betting account". Stryyke initially froze the account and requested the player provide a copy of his ID; he immediately complied. Stryyke then informed the player, after receiving the documents confirming his identity, that his account would remain closed and that the decision was final. No explanation was provided to the player on what constituted the alleged "fraudulent activity" and what entitled Stryyke to confiscate the entirety of his balance. This is not the first time Stryyke has cited its terms and conditions to justify theft, as on April 22th the Malta-based sportsbook suspended all bets on an NBA wager claiming that there were suspicious wagering patterns on the game. SBR is following up with Stryyke management.

Stryyke management fails to address slow-pays
Stryyke (SBR rating D-) has declined to directly address the slow-pay complaints reported by SBR readers. Stryyke's last communication to SBR was on May 10th and contained a generic message detailing the Malta based sportsbook's intention to allegedly tighten up security measures in verifying accounts. Stryyke has a process it refers to as a "KCY procedure", that can take several months to complete. Although Stryyke will not reveal exactly what the process it is, it appears to be nothing more than verifying whether a drivers license or passport matches the name and details registered to the betting account. This process typically takes one business day for most sportsbooks to complete.

A new Stryyke slow-pay was received today. A player requested €700 on January 30th and has yet to receive his funds. This brings Stryyke debt to 30 players up to €27,449.85. Unpaid withdrawals were requested as far back as 12 months ago.

While most sportsbooks are able to match a name from a drivers license to that registered in the player's betting account in as little as one business day, Stryyke has taken upward of several months in multiple cases reported to SBR. Stryyke currently owes 28 players a total of €26,188.65; the earliest payment was requested in May of 2009. | Stryyke forum discussion

Stryyke confiscates €5,697 from player citing poker chip-dumping
Stryyke (SBR rating D-) has seized a player's €5,697 balance after concluding the player was chip-dumping within Stryyke's poker network. Chip-dumping is the process of intentionally funneling money to other accounts within a poker game, this is typically done between two or more accounts as a way to evade an insufficient deposit, or to circulate ill-gotten funds. SBR has asked Stryyke for evidence and complete game logs to support its claim. This report will be updated. On April 22nd, Stryyke made SBR headlines for a decision to cancel winning bets on an NBA game due to allegedly receiving "suspiciously" lopsided action on the game in their sportsbook.

Stryyke (not rated) clears delinquent payouts
Since SBR's initial report in November Stryyke has paid all nine players who have complained of payout delays. Delays ranged from one week to over a month. Player concern was high due to a lack of communication from the sportsbook and the withdrawals being requested through the book's main payout method, electronic transfer service, Moneybookers. Recent withdrawal reports from December suggest Strykke has improved over November. Stryyke blames being short-staffed in December for slow-payment, which did not exceed 10 days.
"As we were not working with the full staff during the Christmas and New Years weeks, we couldn't process all payouts in a timely manner. Some customers unfortunately experienced delays with their payouts."

Stryyke (not rated) players complain of voided winning wagers and slow-pay
Stryyke canceled a tennis wager in October citing a mistake on the listed wagering odds. The odds were not erroneous and the book has not offered to pay the bet at what it deems to be the correct market price. SBR will contact the sportsbook about this matter and about the company in general. SBR expects to complete a rating evaluation of Stryyke next week.
Player: This won and was correctly credited to my account. However, after requesting a payout on 24/11/2008 they sent me an email saying the payout was cancelled and this wager was being made void. At no point before or after the event in question did I receive any comunication from them about this happening, therefore I find it extremely dubious and unfair behaviour.

SBR will also inquire with Stryyke about a Moneybookers payout delay of one month. The sportsbook told the player that its Moneybookers account is unfunded. Stryyke has not offered a withdrawal by other means.
Player: They says that they have not funds in their moneybookers account and that they will sort this soon, but the same story for 1 month. I ask them to withdraw by bank transfer but they says its no need for that because I will not receive my funds faster. They also deducted money from my account so I can not withdraw via an alternate method.
