Olympic no longer allowing ATA transfers

[Justin7]

In the past, Olympic allowed players to transfer money from one account to another player's account at Olympic. About a month ago, they stopped allowing this.

This is a bit surprising, since the still allow Book to book transfers. Anyone have any insight on this?

Heres what they told me on this subject Justin.

Dear Sir,

Please be advised that inhouse transfer is not a option anymore, reason being customers were complaining about funds transfer form their accounts by their friends without their knowledge of it and this was implemented about fives months ago.

I support it, good move Spiro

yeah, good move. it is a security hole

I think Betjam still allows this.

I'm not sure why they would transfer money without the authorization coming directly from the email addy on file.

I could send an email that appears to come from any given internet address in about 30 seconds. Anybody with computer experience, or the ability to use google, could do the same.

yes, but your ip will be your smtp server's ip. that said, i think oly will still have a hard time telling them apart since they're the ones who emailed me my user name and password in the same email when i signed up there. really smart security people working there.

That's stupid. They can figure out a way to make it secure.
