18Bet 6600 Euros of losing bets added to my account and 3207 withdrawal cancelled

[lonnie55]

Today I've made my monthly withdrawal of 2k and it has been processed within 12 hours (Neteller)

Today it took 6 hours. Never been that quick.

[tipanabol]

I don't even want to know. If the balance is 333, - there had to be 7718 before the withdrawal, and I don't really know right now. Possible. I have many accounts at different offices, I use different brookers and their accounts on betfair etc. Maybe there was a fact 7718 .... I can no longer determine, but I thought there were 6600-6900 somehow. Probably robbed me about 7718, because I don't care about tech 333.

[lonnie55]

So apparently they also messed up with the calculation. No idea how this is even possible.

Anyway, the bottom line is you had 6,000 on your account and now you have 333 left. So you got scammed of 5,667.

I didn't think at all that something like this would happen, so I did not investigate it, I entered 3000 selection and I don't really know how much there was. Well, it's all weird. Mainly we are healthy and life goes on!

[tipanabol]

I just don't remember exactly how much I had on my account. But it was just over 6000 euros, 3000 selections on neteller. Well, I have 333. I confess, I didn't investigate or count. And all the transactions I uploaded, there are no others.

[lonnie55]

What I still don't understand:

You've said you had a balance of €6,333.00, right? You've requested a withdrawal of 3k. The withdrawal has been cancelled and the amount has been credited back to your account.

Then 5 fake bets have been added:
+840 (first fake bet known to the forum that actually won)
-3300
-1250
-1900
-1775

So if your balance really was 6,333 how is it possible that you had 333 left on your account? It should have been -1052 according to this calculation. Were there other fake bets you didn't show a screenshot of?

Man... reading this i get so pissed off...

They stole your money, and than ask for documentation...
It actually hurts me because I know exactly how you feel..

Two years ago, otobet took 2000 euros from me and went offline.


18bet is online, and while they are operating, there still is a chance for fight.

Good luck man with getting your money back...

Its not healthy to read this thread, it only fcks you up.
I think Im going to watch sponge bob or something...

[tipanabol]

Maybe it really will start to solve. I have reported oddsportal and are interested in my problem. I referred him to this forum, so we'll see.

[lonnie55]

They completely f*cked it up:

I didn't even notice! That's unbelievable! Here we all see it being manipulated and falsified. So what can I do? The dust is gone ....

[lonnie55]

IS THIS THE F*CKING PROOF OR WHAT??

They have put in a wrong date when adding the FAKE BET!

Still, it is not possible that someone broke into my PC or mobile. Nor was I totally drunk anywhere, and I bet it myself. Exactly at the time the bets were placed, I traveled to the Champions league at San Siro for the INTER-SLAVIA match and was just driving to the airport.

[tipanabol]

Hi, so here I send links, perhaps I did it right. But there is one point of interest. Bets are not ascending by time. You will find out after clicking. I'll record it there too. So I bet by listing: 8.54 9.15 9:57 7:54? 2:06? they also gave me one prize slip, so it wasn't noticeable ....

I think it's been long confirmed that the MGA and other offshore "licensors" are corrupt and paid by the bookies. Hoping SBR can step in here and offer some better guidance. It's pretty reckless the way they're pulling this scam off with no judgement or remorse.

[KittiP]

Hi,

I have a complaint to make about MGA (Malta Gambling Authority)

I lodged a dispute with MGA about the disappearance of 6600 Euros worth of funds from my 18Bet account.

The account was fully verified and I had a pending withdrawal of 3209 Euros.

Overnight, the pending withdrawal was cancelled and 6 equally sized losing bets were added to my account.

I contacted 18Bet to get more information about this and to report the fraudulent bets placed. They responded saying that they can’t see anything wrong with the bets and that there was nothing off about the bets.
I asked the live chat agent if I could see the IP address information from when the bets were placed, but he didn’t have access to that information, so I can’t see how he was able to tell me that nothing looked off about the bet.

He advised me to contact their Anti-Fraud team, but of course they never replied to my email.

Another point to note is that the bets in no shape or form match my betting history for these reasons:-I rarely place bets over 1000 Euros. -I never place equally sized bets. -I never bet on the same selection in one event multiple times. -I never place bets on over/under markets less than half a day before the event start, however these were placed within an hour of the match start.

To add more information to this, I am not the only person that this has happened to recently.

I made a thread on SBA forum and found many others that have fallen victim to this:

https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3553554-18bet-6600-euros-losing-bets-added-my-account-3207-withdrawal-cancelled.html

All of the other players that this has happened to have this in common:
-A pending withdrawal was cancelled.
-A series of losing bets were placed on their accounts over a short space of time after the withdrawal was cancelled.
-The series of losing bets were either equally sized bets or a single losing bet.
-The losing bets wiped out the full balance or almost fully wiped it out.-The bets don’t match the players’ previous betting history.

I explained all of this in a complaint to MGA and asked them for IP login data from 18 Bet and a clear explanation or proof to back up their claims.

However, MGA ignored all requests for data or proof and simply replied back with the same reasons (almost copy and paste) as 18Bet replied back to me via live chat.

It was shocking how nonsensical the reply was:

Dear Mr. Punladda,
Further to the below case, please be informed that we have received information from the representative of Shark77 Limited (18bet.com) who have informed the MGA that there were no abnormalities on your account. Please note that it is important to keep your password secure at all times and that the operator is not responsible for the safe keeping of your credentials. In addition please see their Terms and Conditions which clearly states thathttps://www.18bet.com/en/pages/terms-and-conditions/
“…you should ensure that your username and password do not become easily accessible by third parties, as any transactions carried out via your account will remain your responsibility, whether you have given authorization for such actions or not. If you suspect that your username or password have been obtained by others without you having given prior approval, you should immediately change your password in order to avoid further unauthorized actions”
We wish to remind you that when you created your account you agreed to adhere to the Terms and Conditions and therefore the MGA cannot offer you further support with this specific case seeing that you had agreed to such Terms. We will have to consider the complaint case closed.
Regards,
Kris

This is clearly an inadequate explanation and reply.

MGA try to say that my password was stolen, so it was my fault for not keeping the password safe; however they also say that there were no abnormalities with my account, meaning that there was no change in IP addresses or differences in betting histories.

If my password was stolen, the IP address of the person placing the bets would be different, so there would be an abnormality.

The other option is that the person was either in my house and using my computer or he had vpn’d into my router and used my network, however this function is not available on my router.

Secondly, even a non-gambler could look at my betting history and notice that these 6 losing 1,100 Euros bets are clearly out of place.

Thirdly, they didn’t even acknowledge the part of the complaint that mentions the countless other players that this has happened to, all from by same company and all around the same time.

Finally, I would also like to point out, that MGA considered the complaint closed without even looking into it and more importantly they closed the case and communication with me without offering any form of third party dispute resolution option.

I was under the impression that offering a third party dispute resolution option was required of them.

Thanks for your time; I hope that this email receives a bit more attention than the email that I sent to MGA.

Thanks again.

[KittiP]

I actually made a draft complaint about MGA to submit to MCAA but I never actually submitted it.

I think that the complaint is maybe a little too long and I thought that it might be worth me posting it on here before submitting it, to see if you guys can think of any information that I should include or not include or if I should emphasise some parts more etc.

I'll post it below, either way I'll submit it tomorrow.

[KittiP]

Sorry for not being more active in here recently.

I haven't actually done anything about this or heard anything more for a while.

@tipanabol sorry to hear about that, hopefully we can all get our money back

[ehp6737]

How are they not on the blacklist by now?

[opedja95]

Yeah, "good old" 18bet...

Several years ago when I was still inexperienced and reckless, i had an account on 18bet.
After winning couple of bets, I had around 750 euros on balance, and they accused me for multi-accounting, and decided to give me back my original deposit, which was 300 euros, and confiscate my winnings...

Its a shame that on every good and reliable book, there is 4 shady books which will steal your money and ruin your day.

Now, I really support the effort and help that SBR is doing for all the 18bet victims, but I still cant understand WHY the hell you wont put 18bet on your blacklist?

Many people think that if some book is not on your blacklist, its maybe not that bad...

Is there a possibility that you change that and blacklist them so everyone can avoid them?

[lonnie55]

Ahoj, nemám moc zkušeností s chatem a nevím, jak nahrávat. V každém případě je praxe pravdivá, prohry sázek zaznamenají a sníží účet. Vsadím se asi 50 společností. Na betgun, gobetgo, bet2be jsem ztratil peníze, které padly. Na vitalbet napsali, že vsadím s více lidmi a samozřejmě mě okradli, samozřejmě to byl nesmysl. Ale opravdu jsem to nezažil. Mohu to poslat na váš e-mail, moje je tipanabol@seznam.cz více než 6 000 eur za babibet je pryč, měl jsem provést výběr v menším množství ...

Just upload the screenshot here https://imgur.com/ and then post the link

There is a thread where we collect these fake bet cases with 1bet, 18bet and Babibet, so if you post a screenshot it would substantiate your claim

Thanks

Ahoj, pravděpodobně hlásím přesně možné bláznivý případ. Zůstatku 6 000 EUR jsem zadal 3 000 převodů. Odmítli jste vložit do mé historie ztráty sázek na 5700 eur. Na univerzitě mi zbylo 333. V žádném případě nikdo nezneužil moje data, o kterých bylo prokázáno, že jsou tam napsány bookmaker. Když se mě zeptali, řekli mi, že jsem vsadil a prohrál ... Peníze pryč. Byl to babibet. Standa Česká republika.

Ahoj, takže hlásím přesně stejný bláznivý případ. Z zůstatku 6 000 EUR jsem zadal 3 000 převodů. Odmítli to a vložili do mé historie ztráty sázek na 5700 eur. Na univerzitě mi zbylo 333.

Standa Česká republika.


google translation

Hi, so I'm reporting the exact same crazy case. Out of the EUR 6 000 balance, I have entered 3 000 transfers. They refused and put in my loss history of 5700 euros. I have 333 left at university. No one has ever misused my data, which has been proven to be a bookmaker. When they asked me, they told me I bet and lost ... Money gone. It was babibet. Standa Czech Republic.

didnt know theres some kind of policy on what your first post has to look like, deeply sorry about it

No worries bro.

Just requested a withdrawal after reading all the negative feedback on here. Money arrived via Neteller in less than 30 minutes. No further verification needed (I think I already had sent them a bank statement a while ago, not sure tho)

Doesn't mean it's not a scam, reading the whole topic. Was it necessary to sign up just to write this?

Yes, sorry. Not the same as OP, but the other scam they are running. They claimed that I am sharing an IP address with another player.

18bet are supposed to refer you to this ADR Service if you are not satisfied with their resolution.

If you are unhappy with the MGA response, this is Malta authority to complain about them to https://mccaa.org.mt/home/complaint#

[jjnnbb]

I'm asking this to clarify for myself and other readers... Your post makes it sound like you are not claiming to be victim of the same scam as OP. OP claims that their account balance was reduced to zero via fake losing bets added to their account by the bookie. It sounds like you are claiming something different - that the bookie is accusing you of multi-accounting, and therefore seizing your funds.
Am I correct?

[DontTailMe]

I was also a victim of the multi-account scam. My winnings of 5k were confiscated. Supposedly there was an other account with the same IP address. I didn't even use a bonus and the general terms don't even mention IP address but still both 18bet and MGA quoted this.

MGA sent me the same copy paste message they've been sending others. I'm still trying to push MGA on this, but I doubt it'll be of help.

Did I understand correctly that MGA should mention a third party dispute resolution option? They didn't offer anything of this nature and I'd like to lodge a complaint against them in any case.

I think we should all push MGA and other authorities as much as possible because this is just ridicilous. I've never had any problems with other operators.

If you make any progress, please update this thread as well. I've reached the MGA following the same scam, but I'm yet to receive an answer from them. 18bet also did not respond in over a week when I asked them to provide some proof regarding their claims. Don't expect much anyhow, but hopefully someone will do something about these, well, robberies.
