    They've never done anything shady to me and paid out when I used them so that rating was justified.

    I wish this player would contact us. I have handled 100's of Bet365 disputes. Some have had merit, and Bet365 has always resolved them.

    Canuck, where did you get this link? What station broadcast this? Do you have any way to identify this player?

    Today Tonight is a show in Australia. No idea how to contact them but looks like someone is going to represent him. I wish someone could edit OP title and make it Bet365 stiffs player for 73k.

    Any book should have the right to change its rules, but seriously they tried to change their rules and backdate them to come into effect before this fella won his bet ? Almost seems too stupid to be true, and actually surprises me as I thought they were smarter than that.

    Considering they had only just got their licence in Australia, for the sake of roughly £40k GBP this should have been used as a massive marketing/advertising opportunity to spread their name around a bit more now they are licenced.

    They should have paid this guy and gotten a photo opportunity with one of them giant cheques that newspapers seem to love and said "come bet with us, look at how much this lucky chap won" and sit back and watch the money come in.

    Even if the limits were initially incorrect on exotic bets like this, and they were subsequently lowered to the new amount, they could have used that to their advantage by saying "we messed up, but we are a licenced company in Australia now, so here we are proving that despite having wrong limits initially...we are trustworthy and will pay this bet out anyway as a gesture of good will and then correct the limits for subsequent bets"

    And lets face it, a punter like that betting $4000 on an exotic bet...how long do you think it would take him to throw it all back to them anyway...

    WTF thats bull shit I dont even think the dude is a degenerate people in Australia are loaded with cash. They spend so much money in the states when they come here on vacation is crazy. And they really are the nicest people in the world. Such a shame for an asshole company to **** the dude. I hope the man shuts them down for every penny they have because Bet365 wont win that in court

    Yeah. I once did a bet with them and they settled a 10/11 bet at 1/150 claiming the price was wrong.

    Trying to get an integrity inquiry because a couple of first start maidens didnt chase is grasping at straws. Im presuming they didnt have the stewards report when they first cancelled his bets either

    I'm with Shari. B365 would be mad not to pay him just as they are spending big bucks on ads here.

    I'm a bit surprised they are allowed by NT commission to backdate rules at all though.

    Good example of the cowboy way even big books think they can act though. Hope Aussie authorities are a bit stronger than UK has been on this mob.

    I beleive they are saying the race was dodgy/set up in some way, but I'm not sure they knew this before making this decision, story not consistent.

    There was a case earlier in the year with a stable lad from the UK (Henderson's yard I think) who won £2.5m or something but they only paid out £1m citing a similar rule. Can't remember exact details.

    The race wasn't dodgy, they offered him 20 or 25k to shut him up but he didn't take it and wants exactly what he is owed, 73k.

    Today Tonight, is a news show similar to 60 minutes i guess is all i can compare it to. On Ch 7. It's for real.

    SBR might be able to contact Today Tonight if they wish to jump in through here http://au.news.yahoo.com/today-tonight/contactus/

    Yep they came out with this statement yesterday

    http://www.bet365.com/news/en/bettin...ich-queensland

    But they wouldnt have had the stewards report when they first cancelled the bet so changing your story as you go along is terrible.

    Even if they went with their current story from the start though both dogs were checked by the vet after the race and found nothing to be wrong with them, one dog even under went a vet check before the race and was cleared. A swab was also taken from the favourite in the race. Just because a dog doesnt chase they cant say we're not paying, plenty of dogs fail to chase every day thats just racing. Whats next, if i place a grand on an outsider and the favourite misses the start they wont pay out because they claim it was fixed that he would miss the kick?

    It was a maiden race with the favourite having its first start and it simply didnt chase, end of story. If the guy knew it was a non chaser then good on him, i know plenty of dogs who dont chase and back against them
