Bowmans International Ltd, parent company of Bowmans (SBR rating A) until it sold the sportsbook to bet365 (SBR rating A-) in December of last year, reemerges in the sports betting market with Hansabet. Hansabet, which has been online for just over one month, is set to give players a similar experience as Bowmans once did with the same Bowmans' service staff and Betoptions WagerPlayer software. Former head linesman of Bowmans, Scott K, has not stayed on with the company. Hansabet has been given an initial SBR rating of B. The sportsbook will remain under review as player feedback is received, Hansabet rules pages are completed, and SBR continues conversations with book management. Hansabet does not accept players from the US and Canada.

bet365 (SBR Rating A-) cancels "In-Play" winning bet. bet365 states that due to a television broadcast delay, they mistakenly offered the wager for an excessive period of time. This is the third complaint against
bet365 Live Betting in as many months. SBR to contact bookmaker on player’s behalf.
Player: I contacted other bookmakers to see what time they have for 5th goal in that match, and I got replay from onother UK bookmakers that they were suspend the market at 16:09:59 . I am sure they are using same global time server as all other bookmakers. My bet is placed at 16:09:54 and when you add web delay their web site have , there is no way I placed late bet.

bet365 (SBR rating A-) live betting sticks another player with losing wager he did not place. The bettor wagered on a spread
bet365 labeled as an obvious erroneous line. Instead of canceling the wager or altering the price,
bet365 changed the line to what they said the spread should have been before the bet making the would-be winning bet a $500 loser.
bet365 is currently addressing a similar live betting complaint and will be reevaluated based on the outcome of these uncharacteristic issues.

bet365 (SBR rating A) gives player losing wager he did not place. The bettor wagered on an erroneous line where the spread was reversed, making the -4.5 favorite a +4.5 point underdog. Instead of canceling the wager and addressing the client who attempted to gain an unfair advantage,
bet365 gave the player a bet with the "corrected" line, making the would-be winning bet a loser. SBR expects upper management to address the policy flaw, void the obviously bad-line bet and refund the 1800 Euros in losses.

bet365 (SBR rating A+) players complain of inadequate rule change notification. SBR has received three complaints from users who say they were unaware of recent rule changes that were the difference between winning and losing wagers.
bet365 changed their wagering rules, making overtime in all basketball leagues count for over-under wagers. Most
bet365 users are likely finding out about rule change when their bet on a game that went into overtime is graded.
Beginning January 1st, 2007, all sportsbooks on
SBR’s
Recommended List will be required to offer a ’policy updates’ log or another method of alerting players of policy changes.
Player: "
European basketball has never counted overtime! How am i supposed to know?? Should I refresh the rules page along with the odds?? At least Pinnacle announces the new rule at top of main page and other book will email you. If Bet 365 would highlight all rule changes for that month it would at least be reasonable to scan over a book of rules. This is crap".
10/4/2006 11:13 AM
bet365 (SBR rating A+): In response to the Safe Port Act,
bet365 has decided to stop taking wagers from US players. US based clients are asked to redeem funds upon log in.
