Bet365 locked my 85,000 euros ($96,800) !!!

[lonnie55]

Instead of focusing on why are these guys doing what they are doing

because it's useless anyway

[techpeter]

yes, Megan McCann account was used by an Irish betting syndicate, everybody around the pro-horse race betting ring knows what went on, but so did bet365.
skrill have always given info to the bookmakers . also bookmakers will look at google maps to see the size of your house and what area it is in. if you have a small house in a bad area it is a red flag . also be careful what you post on Facebook and the like. i saw people have account names like arb-hunter match better, propunter
think your passport is key to getting paid

[arber1]

in the U.K a bookmaker does not have to pay out on any bet it is called a gentleman's agreement.

This hasn’t been correct since September 2007. Gambling debts are legally enforceable in the UK

[Poisec]

Especially when they deposit 35k at once, which no doubt came from a "friend" loan and when the account isn't gold yet.

Let's be real here...you bought the account (both the Skrill and the Bet365). Deposited this once with that Skrill to Bet365, made a big parlay arb with the deposit and now they somehow caught you. You don't live in Serbia. I'm not saying you should not get paid, but this is 99.9% what has happened. No need to admit it, we know what goes on but you would be better off not posting this stuff on a very busy forum. Going public with it cannot help your case.

I just hope the money in your Skrill didn't come from a friend that already had a limited Bet365 account and you at least had the sense to deposit by BTC and eat the fees. Bet365 is known to get info from Skrill even without your permission so if that account leads to a trail of "new accounts" with just 1 big deposit at each one you could get burned.

My 2c.

Never found any VPN that I can use to login at bet365, they are all blocked by bet365 it is a nightmare. I heard that it was possible to login by buying a static IP, tried once and it was blocked too.

Do you have any tips?

Did you seriously just ask how to circumvent their security measures on a public forum...??

[Poisec]

Yeah that was silly, was just typing as I was thinking, anyway I may PM you about this.

Never had a Bet365 account so can't help you.

[MarkoBoz]

4th day with Bet365 just repeating the same exact answer and not doing anything, not allowing me into the account regardless of me offering them anything that they want. So I have decided to seek for legal advice and help now, I am patient but I simply do not like what they are doing with my money.

More info will follow as it comes.

LOL you call 4 days patient? You hit and run a book for 50k, have raised many flags. Minimum 30 days here. Legal advice? Hahah I always love when people mention a lawyer. 99% of never do and no lawyer will want this “case”.

Maybe he should go to lawyers office dressed as his profile pic...you know, to add credibility

[Pinocchio]

You people attacking this guy are morons.

If no fraud of any kind was involved, Bet365 needs to pay. Oh, but they don't like winners... oh, they don't take action from non-recreational bettors... Yeah, that's definitely grounds for stealing 100k! Close his account and pay him out!

[Pedro]

I didn't see anyone mention it yet, but is it possible that the game he wagered on is being investigated as being fixed?

Just a thought.

OP mentioned in the starting post that it was a multi with 5-6 games

[BetJesus]

That’s another odd/stupid thing. The wager(s) didn’t even quite double his money but involved 5-6 games. That’s either incredibly ignorant betting or that’s bullish.

This guy seems like a bozo. Not buying anything for a second

[Pedro]

OP mentioned in the starting post that it was a multi with 5-6 games

I see. Maybe some, or one of those games would be fixed?

Again, he refuses to disclose the actual bet, so it's hard to know.

[MarkoBoz]

Thanks for the compliments

Newest update - Bet365 sent me something else other than 'we will contact you when the review is done'. They ask for kyc now, and enhanced verification, I understand that's their standard for cases like mine. So, something positive finally.

p.s. I would have to really be a bozo to bet on a fixed match at a European bookmaker, as little as I knew about Bet365, I knew that much not to bet that guys.

Well, maybe you didn't know it was a fixed match. It could have been fixed nonetheless.

Well, just a possibility amongst many others.

Yes, knowing my luck, it could have been, but wouldn't they suspend the markets or whatever? The matches were being offered all throughout each of the games, all the way to the end, none of it were removed and I bet all of it during HT of the first one, after I've done the analysis. All seemed normal anyway, until they lost

[ouzoun]

What was these bets?

Well, I am not an expert on this but sometimes, the bookies look at the bets placed on the particular games and if they seem out of the ordinary, for example, someone places a million dollars on a Bundesliga 3 match, then they will deem the match suspicious and investigate though this may only happen after the match has finished.

Of course, I am exaggerating with the whole millions dollars but you get the point.

Pedro

[caramba]

Bet365 can be very annoying to deal with and the people on their chat are very incompetent for the most part, but in my experience they are at least honest so you should get your money provided you haven't broken any rules. It took me 24 days to get a withdrawal of 3 euros (yes, 3 euros) approved so patience needed with this company. Good luck.

What exactly did you wager? Was this a series of IF bets, a parlay, what??

It makes NO sense whatsoever that you could make all these bets and not even double your money.

[eaglesfan371]

Guy is a "pro". Yet bets parlays. Just another red flag.

[MarkoBoz]

How did I not double it Betjesus, if I have invested 35k for around 50k profit? I have bet many matches with very small odds, it's just how I bet sometimes. Not always parlays are a bad solution, especially not if it's a system bet, so not a classic accumulator.

Ok, so you picked 5-6 matches and got 2:1 on your bet?? That is just the dumbest thing I have ever seen a player do. Especially someone who considers themselves anything other than a rec player.

as someone mentioned in here, you can't place 35k on a single corner bet anyway, so he was stretching the limits with small odd (small value) bankers.

By the sound of it, the corner one was his main bet, and he probably had a handful of other relatively "safe" ones prepared to combine with it. Of course there's always the risk of losing out, but sometimes it's worth the risk, if the value on the initial bet is big enough. And given the stake, I guess it was.

So even for someone who calls himself a professional, it can make sense occasionally.

Yeah....having to pick six games to get 2:1 on your money never makes sense, logically or mathematically.

Like I said, probably one of the dumbest things ever. Exposure is WAY to high for the risk.

[caramba]

That obviously depends on odds for the matches involved.
If Bet365 accepted this bet, they should honor it. And if they don't want people to get around their limits by placing parlays like this, they should learn their lesson and make adjustments for the future to prevent this from happening again.

[ouzoun]

Asking again, what was these bets? I ask this to see if there is any fixed game there.

[moojoo]

BetJesus is dumb af, you cant argue with someone square as he is.

[lonnie55]

Everything alright guys. He PMed me yesterday that b365 reopened his account and asked for further KYC. I hope he will update the thread as well.

[MarkoBoz]

Yes, let me update it lonnie55. It's just amazing what some people are writing here, they are basically giving tips to Bet365 publicly on how they can improve themselves against bettors. Really good job you guys.

So, yesterday they sent an email finally saying they ask for the KYC and enhanced verification procedure (source of income and all of that), which is done inside my sportsbook profile, so to be able to do that they have reopened my account but of course I still cannot ask for any withdrawal but at least I saw that all is ok with the money for now. I have submitted all the documents they need, they said also they want to call me again (we spoke numerous times, but it was me who always called them this week) so now it's just up to them to finish that and then should withdraw. Anyways, I'm getting closer to resolving it finally.

You should have kept this simple and have a little more patience. Good that Bet365 finally reopened your account and are talking to you. I hope you get paid after they finish the verification.

[MarkoBoz]

All I am waiting on now is their phone call, all of the verification should be completed by now, they said to me on live chat that they'll call today, so let's see.
