At the time i was given the bs $40 referral bonus, my acct balance was 0 and i wasnt even playing there so im not sure why justin said that i took all my money out except for the $40.
-
OK, I can understand that part too. How long before you referred your friend did you make the phone call withdrawing all your funds? Or are you denying that a phone call withdrawing all your funds ever happened?Comment -
The only withdrawl i ever made from this place was done on Feb 17th. It was for 900 via moneygram and it took a week and a half to recieve. At the time of my withdrawl i left money in my acct which i ended up losing back. I didnt even refer my friends there until Mid March when they wanted to know if i knew of any books that offered good bonuses for the NCAA tournyComment -
Thanks PP22.
Is what Pokerplayer22 right about what he says from your investigation Justin? That there was money left in his account (i.e. he did not "clean out his account") and that there was a month time lapse before he referred friends?
And why do you say that he withdrew all of his funds except the $40 when he didn't even have the account funded at the time of his referral?
How much did you leave in when you withdrew the $900 PP22?Comment -
Does any of it really matter if they have him on tape placing phone bets for all 3 accounts and also trying to open a 4th account as yet another person? This is "Dumbass of the Day" material (where a clueless criminal has gotten himself caught in an obvious and simple way).Comment -
Tom...first of all you are wrong and dont know the facts.
Peep. I am not sure where Justin got his info from. I dont remember exactly how much i left in my acct when i made a cashout on Feb 17th. It was at least $500 or else i wouldnt have cashed out to begin with. At the time that i referred my friends, my balance was 0. When i received he bonus, my balance went up to $40, then i managed to build it to $1200.
This thread wasnt even about me trying to get paid. Sportbet already made me aware that they were stealing my money and that they dont care if i bash them online. Ive even talked to 2 customer service reps since at sportbet, and they both have admitted that i was wronged, even though they dont have enough pull there. Justin, if you want their names i will give you their names privately. I dont want them to get in trouble for sticking up for me. My only reason for posting this thread (as you can read from my initial post) was to warn people away from this corrupt place. I am only one of hundreds that have complained about this shady outfit. Even SBR used to have them on their blacklist!!!Comment -
It may not matter Tom, as PP22 himself points out.
If he lost $500 after his last withdrawal, that is not the same as Justin relays it.
I am just trying to find out what he was gaining by all this. To do all this work for a $40 referral bonus... well that doesn't make sense to me either.Comment -
and signup bonusesComment -
I take back where I said they should pay you.Comment -
Yes, and signup bonuses.
How much in signup bonuses did the three friends you referred take in CC22? You should know since your referral was a portion of same I think.Comment -
Peep. i think i got 20% of each of their first deposits.. I think both people deposited 200 because i received $40 each time for a whopping total of $80 which i got at seperate times. Im not 100% sure what kind of sign up bonuses they got, maybe a 50% cash bonus or 50% freeplay. I know that sportbet seemed to offer bigger first deposit bonuses than other books but of course i am sure there were a ton of restrictions, rollovers, holds, etc which does even make the deal that good. If i knew this would occurr i wouldnt have even wanted the measly bs $40, because they dont let you cashout, should you happen to win anyway.Last edited by pokerplayer22; 05-29-09, 12:54 AM.Comment -
No Justin, I can only imagine where you got info. I made one cashout for $900 and my friends NEVER made one single cashout.Comment -
Humm... the plot thickens.Comment -
Wow. I am a long time forum reader and first time poster and i couldnt read this crap any more without getting involved. First of all, i dont know whether pp22 had 1 acct or 3 accts or maybe 22 accts. Maybe he did try to take a shot at them, maybe he didnt. If he did get a $40 bonus and turn it into $1200, pay the fricken money and tell him and his friends you dont want their business anymore. You dont just pocket their money.
My reason for posting is that i played with sportbet back in December and January for the football bowls and requested a cashout in early January. I have never before been given such a mickey mouse runaround. It took 4.5 weeks to recieve an $1,100 moneygram payout and the only reason i got it was because i called them 46 times a day. I do rememeber their manager (it may have been this Moe) tell me that they will pay out who they want and when they want...end of story. I will never agian deposit with them, and i find it very angering and offensive that Justin (a moderator) can come one here and act like sportbet did nothing wrong and is an honest book with no nopays. That is the farthest from the truth.Comment -
Sportbet is a very well documented sh*t book.
It really interest me how come they are a B book.
In the past when forums would promote these books,
I would simply sign up with them, test them and if they
started slow paying me, post it on the forum straight
away.
When I tried doing this with Sportbet in the past, they
closed my account within 5 minutes even before I had
my first bet on. Now I may ask my wife to sign up with
them. Anyone I may refer?Comment -
i agree completely acw. Sportbet is a completely shit book and have been for years and personally i will never play with them again. I understand that some books are better than others. What bothers me is when a moderator gets on here and starts to stick up for these shit books when they start screwing around with a player and their funds. It angers me and now i see that this moderator had his own issues that he brought to this forum with this same book and he let everyone know about this shit site, but now when someone else has a problem, it is all the players fault and the shit book doesnt get any blame. Thats ridiculous. Even if pp22 was at fault and did play out of all these accts, i dont think that the book has the right to confiscate 100% of his acct. That seems over the top extreme and it seems like only something that a shit book would do.Comment -
let me guess, HOOCH and penstothecup are your "friends"?Comment -
No Durito and Hooch, I dont know pp22 but i can relate to his situation. Sportbet is very dishonest in the way that they conduct their business and even if pp22 did have multiple accts like it sounds like he may have, i dont think it gives this place the right to confiscate 100% of his money. If you dont beleive what a shit site it is, give em a whirl. Make a deposit, play for a while and try to get your money back...see what happens. You'll have a better shot to find a flea on an elephants ass than get a timely payout from these people.
This whole god damn thread irritates me and angers me. How many more people does sportbet have to stiff and slow pay for them to get downgraded???Comment -
I agree Peep. I will reiterate, i dont know who this pp22 is but i can only share in what he is going through. I have said that it does sound like he may have had more than 1 acct. Maybe he did, maybe he didnt. Sportbet still shouldnt have stiffed him. Cut off his business, yes, but stiff him, no. The only reason i even decided to get involved in this stupid thread is because i am so sick of hearing about people getting stiffed by this sportbet and moderators not doing a damn thing about it and SBR refusing to lower their grade down.Comment -
yeah right. people being stiffed on this board every single day by lots of different books, but this particular sportbet-case (which is a lot less clear than a lot of other disputes here) ticked both you and your "friend" off to such an extent you just had to open a brand new useraccounts and start posting. sounds very very convincing. opening several accounts and pretending to be other people is only making you look worse.Comment -
If there is one IP check freak out there it is Justin7. Two users may use the same proxy server, so the IP address means nothing. I have been trying to explain this to Justin7 for quite some time, but he seems rather stubborn. Unlikely he changes his mind on this case. There are many other ways of discovering possible similarities, but
I totally do not understand how anyone can defend the book here! Sorry, but nothing was hidden here! If the book did not like the action, then they should not have waited till pay time.Originally posted by PeepComment -
Thats all i was trying to say from the start. Its pretty funny that other people who also had problems with sportbet come into this thread and people think there has to be a connection with me. I can only imagine how many peeople this place steals from who dont go onto online chat forums. Sportbet is absolutely ridiculous and corrupt and the worst thing is that they have certian people/moderators sticking up for them.
Im done with this thread and talking about my case. Its pretty evident that because i dont work for SBR, I am not getting paid. In the future i am only going to keep warning people away from this place so that people dont have money stolen from them like i did. Good luck everyone!!!Comment -
Nope.Its pretty evident that because i dont work for SBR, I am not getting paid.
Not even close.
It is evident that you are not getting paid because that the book doesn't want to pay you, that is all.Comment -
I have been playing at Sportbet for years with no problems.Comment -
A couple months ago I got a good bonus from them and they were totally up front about all the requirements... once I met them (and ran my deposit up a good deal
) I got a max ** and max bankwire from them with both being sent in a acceptable timeframe... Although they initially screwed up my bankwire they quickly corrected their mistake and waived the fees associated with it... I've emailed their support with questions several times and they always responded quickly with detailied responses...
My only complaints are that their fees seems kindof high IMO and I wish they posted lines earlier... Besides this I have no issues with them but this is probably because I only have one account with them...Last edited by LVHerbie; 05-31-09, 06:44 AM.Comment -
dollarscholar...just be thankful that you didnt make a wager like that and hit it at a place like sportbet. They dont dont issue payouts for 1k, let alone 100k.
good luck getting paid!!!Comment -
Good for you! You don't have to bet a load of money to be a 'winner' gambling. I'm up money at the monent (not a lot 1,800 Euro or more over 2 years) but I don't bet over 20 Euro a wager
People may laugh but the way I see it is, it's better to be up 1,800 over 2 years than be down money. Plus, I've had fun along the way.Comment -
I recently got a cold call from them begging for my action. They gave me a free 50 to restart the account. When I bet the fifty I realized why I stopped playing with them. They had limited my wagers to 50 and forced me to call in all bets. Then after calling in and identifying my self and asking for a game they would put me on hold and come back with different odds for ME than what was posted....D rated book at best!Comment -
That definately sounds like the sportbet that i know....The bigger question would be if you made 20 straight $50 wagers and won them all and got your balance to a dime, you never would have seen it anyway, so just save your aggravation and tell them to stick that free $50 up their asses. Or better yet...tell Moe over there to keep your money...he seems to like getting his grubby little paws on other peoples money.Comment -
