Pointbet downgraded!

[Bill Dozer]

An asian Sportsbook reviewer recently upgraded Pointbet , maybe they bought that upgrade or maybe they are only paying asian custumers.

What is the website?

Help My Money

You mean they have completely ripped off SBR for some of their European bookie ratings! Cheeky.

They are obviously conmen if you can buy upgrades there, to upgrade pointbet at this time is a total joke.

Active players aren't getting paid any faster, that's just another total lie to try and make people cancel their withdrawal requests - I have been waiting 50 days now and have been active throughout that whole time, its not even a 5 figure request - if I am getting paid "faster" than others i feel very sorry for the inactive players.

[wack]

Thanks for keeping it near the top of the homepage though SBR guys, at least helps keep the pressure on them.

Bill seems to have taken bctong's rip-off very well.

What do they say about imitation and flattery?

Good. Now they have money to pay us.

Don't hold your breath.

if you look around the various betting forums they do appear to be paying some people every day, it's just there's some sort of strange reverse chronological order in it. some people report even getting paid within two days.
apparently, they seem to have put a prioritity in paying off people who asked for a withdrawal recently, and pay off at random one or two people who have been waiting longer with what's left for that day.
it's a pretty sound strategy from the sportsbook point of view, but obviously not very customer-friendly to people who have been waiting for weeks (but i guess they think they've lost most of these people as customers already, which definitely makes some sense). i am still confident they will pay eventually, could be a very long wait for some though.

That's interesting. I have 5 withdrawal requests backed up now, ranging from 50 days to 7 days, have been active the whole time, but haven't been paid anything. So I guess the above is wrong.

you might not have been paid at the time despite being " active ", but others definitely were, sometimes even within a week. this being said, that all happened in the end of january.

[Gr8Scott]

I have not read that anyone got paid lately.

I have wrote my 3000 in Pointbet as a loss, i will treat it like its gone.

I name pointbet again :WWW.NOPAYBET.COM.

[winning2007]

i think "pissed" is putting it mildly.. not much anyone can do about it though (except pray you're somehow next on their paylist). anyway, if they were going to dissappear, i'm pretty sure they would have done it by now. after all the troubles with their website because of the earthquake, they finally seem to be back online on a more or less consistent basis.

You work for pointbet.
Please answer me,
Pointbet slow paid or pointbet no paid.

I have chatted with Pointbet live chat. They said my moneybookers withdrawal will be processed "as soon as possible" and i should not worry as they have many withdrawals and increased security which is causing the delays.

For the record i do not expect to get paid.

I have been trying to scalp out my balance elsewhere but everything is winning at Pointbet and i have turned less than $1k into over $10k

I haven't heard of any cashouts in a few months. Players need an Internet1x2 miracle at this point.

[jackal]

I guess once the worst is confirmed and i have lost my $10k there is no chance of a bailout what with Pointbet being an illegal operation run out of Indonesia.

[SquareShooter]

Maybe I'm too optimistic but until this I haven't heard any bad things about Pointbet.
Yes they were illegal and yes there have been police raids in their office couple of times but I haven't heard anything that would suggest they're a scam operation or going through financial difficulties.

By the way. About Pointbet being illegal. As far as I know they have opened operation in UK and obtained a license.

[wack]

That's interesting since my first withdrawal request was in december. Either you are trying to calm things down for whatever reason or else the withdrawals you were talking about were for chicken feed. I played all throughout this time believing they would pay as they had done in the past.

Love to know what your source is. The UK aren't in the habit of granting licenses to illegal Indonesian operations that are $1000k+ in debt to clients. Last time I checked.

If you haven't heard anything, I might be cheeky enough to suggest that your finger hasn't been on the pulse for at least 9 months (since the world cup and their problems then).

I had a payout of 1k gbp by moneybookers first week in jan this year took between 2-3 weeks,i hadn`t received my money so i sent them an email 2 days later money was received.I have managed to arb what was left down to £500 will leave that in and hope for the best.

[jackal]

I have played at Pointbet for a number of years and received regular payouts over that period. I trusted them with alot of money at times which i always knew was a risk due to their illegal location and lack of comeback if they headed for the hills. They never took that option though which is one reason i trusted them.

With the recent troubles i was down to my last £500.00 and tried to scalp it out but since then i have been on a horrible run with the Pointbet legs of the scalp repeatedly winning. I have now got in excess of £5k there and i will have to stop digging.

They have no prescence in the UK as far as i can tell except for their sponsorship of Blackpool Town FC.

just check up on some old pointbet-topics in some of the usual bettingforums. even on sbr if i remember correctly there's one pretty long thread about pointbet in which some people report getting paid in january. mind you, this was all in january, i have not heard or read anyone getting paid in february. like you, i'm still waiting for my withdrawal since december, but the fact you and i have not been paid in january, does not mean nobody was paid. apparently they like some of their customers better than others. anyway, since they seem to be in a state of complete no-pay right now it doesn't really matter.

Agree with the last line 100%.

What options do I have to attempt to recover the money they owe me? Bearing in mind its around USD$50k, I am willing to spend to get some back.

Aside from buying a plane ticket out to some unknown remote Indonesian island and searching for them yourself there is nothing we can do.

I'm afraid the games over boys we are all in for a good old fashioned stiffing.

That sounds like a hell of a good option to me.

What about contacting Blackpool FC then?
