SBR Bill Dozer reports: MySportsbook(SBR rating D+) shorts bettor $700, cites "bonus abuse" as reason. The player has been with the book for three months earning multiple reload bonuses, but has not violated any listed rules. His account activity was subjectively labeled for abusing bonuses. Below is the email to the player from management.

Mr xxxx;
Unfortunately, after the fraud department reviewed your case, it was determine that the account in question was made with the purpose of bonus abusing, therefore, it will remain inactive. According to our records the amount deposited is equal to the amount withdrawn, therefore, no monies are owed in order to offset the funds used via Neteller. Best Regards.

In more severe cases, players who have made a profit wagering saw their winnings confiscated as well. Sportingbet management has taken a hard stance against players who treat their incentives as something more than a novelty. It is evident that management may decide not to pay players after reviewing the bettor’s history over the life of the account.

When the first case of confiscated profits by sportingbet appeared, i imediately stopped using them.That was 2 months ago or something like that.
Few days ago, i received an online query from Sportingodds, which is under the Sportingbet umbrella.I mentioned to that query that it is written in some forums in net that their company is confiscating profits from customers using rediculous reasons.In other words, i accused them in a kind way that they are stealing money from clients.
Of course i received no reply at all, so i m making a conclusion.They dont care at all.
I think that if they continue this way, more sharp downgrades will come.

These audits are just unreal. Wonder if a deposit has ever been audited

"I'm sorry sir we cannot accept your deposit because you show up in our database of 'eminent losers dying to throw their money away'. We will have to ask you to take your losing ways elsewhere."

Haha!! But seriously, why do we have to go through a stinking audit to take OUR money out?

Plus, OK you own a great big sportsbook making millions and zillions. You are telling me you have to go through this bush league thug-like audit?? ..and thats smart business?

audit is just a fancy way of trying to say they are gonna steal your money...

I wondered if the bad season has prompted them to cheat select "undesirable" players to ease 4th Q losses. In years past their player complaints could be chalked up to ignorance or the flawed system. Now, they are making up reasons to steal from players who are in the W column.
For example, if your account is up $1200 and you have used a bonus they may deduct $1200 and claim you are guilty of "bonus abuse". Thats it, end of discussions, fraud department has decided. I think the D+ is generous right now. D+ Oasis players have been cheated in similar ways.
