Puntingpal

They are fairly new. And I personally have concerns about any Australian business operator choosing to operate out of Vanuatu. But I have not seen a bad word about them so far myself.

You'll find some useful discussion about them here: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...l-betting.html

I played with them for a while and only had a good experience all around. They closed to foreign customers though.

I can certainly understand your concerns about them being registered in Vanuatu.
I have had an account with them for most of this year.
The best thing I can say for them is they do pay very promptly. Every withdrawal I've requested (and they've been up to $20k) has been in my bank account the next morning.
Initially I found their limits were excellent. I was able to bet $4k or more on the football codes for example.
However, after a while they started reducing my bets ... to $1k, $500 and now they seem to have settled on $200. And very rarely can I re-bet.
I also found them excellent for racing, offering BOB for ALL metro meetings, not just on Saturdays. Sadly I have now been banned from that product.
So, I'd say take up their offer for sure and enjoy the benefits whilst you can.

Site is closing tonight. All customers are being moved to Crownbet.

Yes.
I suspect they really had little option as the Aus authorities were after them for illegally offering online in-play wagering but more importantly for failing to pay product fees.

I reckon very obvious what happened here. Were gearing up for a sale for a long time. Offering 10% deposit bonuses, $1.95 lines & taking bets to increase turnover.

For guys that proclaim to know alot about the industry, has nobody seen the elephant in the room...... They were owned by the same family, the merger was a cover your ass move.

Are you saying Packer owned Puntingpal and sold it to himself?

That could be damaging to him if true. Sounds a bit fanciful though. Why would he have got involved in illegally servicing Australians to start with when he has licenses it could put at risk?

I suspect he was referring to the Tripp family, not the Packers.

You guessed it Hareeba, John Dow, both Junior and Senior ( the owners of puntingpal ) are Brother in law, Cousin, Uncle and Nephew to the Tripps.
