This here is a snippet from the UK Gambling Commission's current Wikipedia entry: Controversy[edit]

The Gambling Commission has come under fire for not preventing the spread of fixed odds betting terminals (FOBT) on the high street. Considered to be as addictive as 'crack cocaine' by some, their spread is linked to the transfer of responsibility for planning permission for bookmakers moving from the Gambling Commission to local authority.
In 2014 the UK regulated online bookmaker Canbet went into receivership owing millions to customers. The demise of this site raised questions of the ability of the Commission to protect UK customers from rogue traders.

Someone posted this in here a few pages back. The problem with relying on Wiki is I can go edit it right now and say I'm the head of the GC and also used to own Canbet. And I own bet365 and William Hill. As we know, Canbet is not in receivership, IGAS is. Yet whomever took it upon themselves to edit the GC's page couldn't even get that right so it just makes it look like an amateur witchhunt against the GC.

Hi,

You're right it can't be relied on. I was however merely just pointing it out. Did the ABC thing earlier. Alex told me that he spoke to Peter Lord this morning and he is still adamant that "all players will be paid" I think at that point I failed to keep a straight face when he told me that but at least it shows that the heat is well and truly on him though.

I wonder if Alex asked Lord to confirm if he meant paid in full or not...

Hi
Account No 1131308
Owed £750 GBP

Thanks

[fidelio]

In the early days (October 13) I used to believe this shit that we were going to be paid. The software glitch was a sham and thanks to the leadership of Shari, the betting community is starting to show its strength from working together.
Clients from the quarter million client base add their names to the withdraw list every day. Have faith in your actions.

[from JayZ]: If Canbet Sports Bookmakers Ltd was wound-up then there would be an investigation by the Official Receiver into the directors' conduct as to any wrongful or fraudulent trading. However, it is currently still an active company, even though it isn't doing anything. Any creditor could lodge a petition to wind-up if owed more than £750 but this isn't cheap (at least £1,385 for the hearing, although some is refundable in certain circumstances). It is a strategy with risk as Canbet isn't known to have any assets, but then again, who thinks they would get anything from a trade sale?

I must admit I don't have details but I did hear that an accomodation has been reached between the Centaur directors and a group representing their clients which has resulted in some proportion of the debts being repaid.

Perhaps something similar could happen with Canbet if someone was to wind them up? I personally am not owed enough though.

In what circumstances can the hearing fee be refunded?

I think it probable that Peter Lord hopes to just ride this tricky time out and hope it all goes away...

It can be refunded if it turns out to be unable to pay out, but that would take some time. There is another cost which I forgot earlier - you are required to place and pay for the notice in the London Gazette, which is £55.50+VAT.

[CJUK]

I've just been to sign the e-petition but I foresee a problem even if sufficient people are persuaded to sign in that the terms and conditions are quite clear that...

"If an e-petition does not include a clear statement explaining what action you want the government to take, it will be rejected."

....and the e-petition as it stands makes no reference as to the action required whatsoever. Might I suggest that it is scrapped and replaced with a new one once an agreed wording has been reached on here? Otherwise we may be persuading people to sign it for nothing.

[smiffywhu]

I do agree with you CJ, however, from what I saw whilst looking at the "rejected" and "closed" petitions I assumed ours was all good and well as it hasn't already been rejected.Its been up for 10-14 days now and I'd have thought if there was a problem with it it would've already been rejected.

What's stopping us referring this to the Fraud Office?

What's stopping us referring this to the Fraud Office?

If you have not done already, please e mail intelligence.live@insolvency.gsi.gov.uk with your complaints.

Fraud Office

Hi Eddie, I already have and that's what they stated in their reply email. That's why I thought it would be worth asking as if they have stated to contact the Fraud Office that would infer that they have not?

[sarahtee]

I'm a UK player owed 449 GBP - I underwent the verification process in October and was told I would be paid shortly...still waiting...

[lusko21]

Dear Mr O'Sullivan

Thank you for your email of 17/02/2014 regarding the company Canbet UK Limited - 4559609

Please note that Companies House is unable to vouch for the validity or legitimacy of the company or any offers etc that they make. Our role, laid down by Parliament is as a Registry. We accept company documents and place them on the Public record, if they meet the basic checks that we carry out. Current parliamentary legislation only allows Companies House to register and display information to the public. It does not provide us with investigative powers that would allow us to become involved in matters such as those raised in your e-mail. If your complaint involves the conduct of a company or its officers you should contact the Insolvency Service.
The Insolvency Service is an Executive Agency of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The Company Investigations team within the Insolvency Service has the power to investigate limited companies where information received suggests corporate abuse; this may include serious misconduct, fraud, scams or sharp practice in the way a company operates. To complain about a limited company that is still trading: Tel: 0845 601 3546 By post: Intelligence Hub Intelligence & Enforcement Directorate Investigation and Enforcement Services Insolvency Service 3rd Floor Cannon House 18 Priory Queensway Birmingham B4 6FD Email: intelligence.live@insolvency.<wbr>gsi.go v.uk Web: www.bis.gov.uk/insolvency The Insolvency Service will usually take on any complaint that provides good reason for an investigation and where there is both a public interest in investigating and the prospect of follow up action resulting. If you believe that you are a victim of such a scam or fraud, you should report this matter to your local police and provide them with as much information as you can. Important information on current scams can be found on our website via the following link http://www.companieshouse.gov.<wbr>uk/about/miscellaneous/misc1.<wbr>shtml Alternatively, you can visit the fraud alert website at www.met.police.uk/fraudalert or the FBI website at www.ic3.com I hope this information has been of help to you.
Yours sincerely Rosalind Tew Proof and Fraud

It clearly states (
you should contact the Insolvency Service.)

I cant see anywhere on this, where they say do nothing we will do it all for you.
It gives you an email address
It gives you a physical address
It gives you a a phone number

you should contact the Insolvency Service.

Hey everyone, just found this thread.

I'm owed £1252.50 and my friend Nick is owed £627.50.
We both just did the opening account offer, £150 for £150.

Kind of written off getting any of this back now.
Hopefully something will come of this effort.
Thanks,
