New bwin (SBR rating C) player reports canceled bet after win; bwin cites bet being placed three minutes after post time
Player: I have read about your follow-up in a case with a cancelled NBA wager with Bwin, and I am in a similar situation. On the third of march, I placed a wager on jazz-Raptors for the 1st half total, at 17.33 CET. The ticket nr is 1PTBL1L5EX. The ticket should be a winner, but Bwin cancelled, claiming that it was placed too late, and the game had started at 17.30. But I know Pinnacle had this line open even two minutes after I placed the Bwin bet. I wrote to Bwin two times, complaining, but they wouldn't honour the wager. They actually first graded it as a winner, then they cancelled long after. I can't remember exactly how long, but no less than 6 hours, maybe more. I remember logging in to my account the day after the bet had been settled, and wondering about my balance. I checked my statement, and found that they had altered the ticket, changing it from a winner to a cancelled ticket. I hope you can help me in this case, as it seems you have been able to help another player in the same sort of situation.

BetRuss (SBR rating C-) accounts acquired by DPT Sports Group
BetRuss.com now redirects to
LooseLines (SBR rating B-). Looselines is a part of the group of sites that include better known B rated books
ABCislands and
jazz Sports. BetRuss management tells SBR that the decision to move under Looselines was made because the
BetRuss brand and its marketing team was "fighting an uphill battle" due to the stigma of the Absolute Poker controversy.
BetRuss was founded by a former Absolute Poker manager. Looselines will be financially backed by DPT Sports but operate independently with its own lines and management. Looselines will move from the -108 lineset that was offered until today to BetRuss standard -110 vig. Bettors who were using Looselines prior to today will be able to use the -108 lineset by accessing their accounts through ABCislands. LooseLines, which will focus on recreational players, has been lowered to B- as it adapts to the BetRuss staff and operating policies.
Looselines management tells SBR that the migration was already completed in the middle of the night.

jazz and ABCislands downgraded from B+ to B yesterday due to listing unavailable transfer options. Two non-US players have complained that they would not have deposited if they had known that book-to-book transfers with Pinnacle Sports (SBR rating A+) and Bookmaker (SBR rating A+), as well as Neteller transfers were not available as advertised. Some players have taken a check paying the additional fees while having to accept the smaller transfer limits. jazz plans to make both of these options available by the end of next week and will be reevaluated at that time.
