On February 26th I opened an account with Win4Real.com and deposited just under $12,000 within the next two days from my Moneybookers account. I played at the site until March 7th and ran my balance up to $32,000. On March 7th they zero'd out my account. I spoke to live chat, they sited terms and conditions that I cannot play at Win4Real because I also have an account at Sportsbetting.com. My account at sportsbetting.com is unfunded and I had not played there in at least 6 months.
I knew of the affiliation between the two sites, when I opened the account I specifically told them I used to play at sportsbetting.com and asked if that would be a problem. I was told 'no'. I have a screenshot of this conversation which I will forward. I made them well aware of my history with their self described 'sister site' over the phone and on live chat.
I made a complaint with SBR but WIN4REAL refused to pay me my winnings. They sent back deposits but they are still stealing my winnings. If I had lost my deposits they would keep them. I believe they need to honor the full amount of $32,000 and not site some fine print when I let them know up front that I had played at their sister site and was told that was no problem. I was told on the phone and by live chat that it was fine to play there even though I had an account at sportsbetting.com.
They booked my bets and should pay me my winnings.
I am forced to make this thread because for some reason this has not appeared on the SBR newsfeed despite WIN4REAL refusng to pay me and SBR telling me they can do nothing more. They should have been downgraded to F immediately after the no pay decision was made.
