Odsy88 KYC Required

NBAtanker · 11-10-19, 07:42 AM

Yeah well that will occasionally happen as the only book I ever bet with that didn’t ask for something was Parimatch

littlekona · 11-10-19, 07:48 AM

yea you just never ever know as nothing is 100% in the offshore world...they do offer bonus so it could be linked to that too if you take

I took their claim about no KYC as a huge red flag from day one.

It was either a blatant lie, or showed the operator was naive and did not know how they would HAVE to work.

It's better for users if they accept that they will need to do KYC sometimes, like every legit agent has to.

This!

I'd never trust any broker with huge sums if they didn't have a kyc policy. Having a decent KYC is a bare minimum imo.

So far they haven't ask me yet to do kyc.
But it said from your screenshot that it was only random that their partner books required them. Maybe you are lucky enough to be chosen?

How about you littlekona. Did they ask you already?

I guess nothing is permanent in this kind of industry.
Like AC88, before they don't do kyc for btc users but now ALL are require to do it.

with 99 percent certainty it was the op betting patterns in one of their clients that alerted the kyc request

No All good here so far... but I do mainly only use the exchanges and mostly horses

Becareful with sport oddyssey, they withdrawal 700 Euro from my account today, and when I asked them, they said, I requested that withdrawal though I did not requested any withdrawal. They even did not email me withdrawal mail. Either sports Odyssey is fraud company or they have some rogue empoyee. I won't recommended to anyone Sport Odyssey.

There wasn't any betting pattern, simply several wins in Pinnacle triggered this. (with odds close to or near EVENS).

So you claim they took away 700 EUR from your account and sent it to someone else who requested a withdrawal "on your behalf"? They do use a security code to identify you. It doesn't sound 100% reliable but I'd be happy to believe it if you could provide some evidence just like I enclosed a screenshot.
Also if this is truly a serious accusation I'd suggest you start your own thread and don't hijack this one, so you would be able to get more attention to your issue.

Verification went smoothly though.

I received e-mail from them. They are making OTP code sent to phone number before they process withdrawal. I think this method is better

How long does it takes? 24 hrs?

deadley · 11-11-19, 04:37 AM

I already made thread, yesterday lost 700 euro and complaint them, and today they changed their withdrawal policy. Do you think it's coincidence?

Poisec · 11-11-19, 05:52 AM

Lose thousands on a consistent basis and they will never require KYC verification

NOTE: Only Biometric Passport and ID Cards are allowed

Biometric?

How's that?

passport with a chip in it.

Not sure why that matters to them.

Or even how they could tell without a photo of the front cover.

passport that has an embedded electronic microprocessor chip which contains biometric information that can be used to authenticate the identity of the passport holder.

I do not know about this place

Seems risky

Okocha · 11-15-19, 06:56 AM

They alll are

Sportsmarket is the exception to the rule.

jjgold · 11-15-19, 07:47 AM

I guess if your not doing big stakes they could be ok

I would think even brokers do not want big stakes guys

Poisec · 11-15-19, 08:15 AM

Just asked on their website, they have no license.

They said they have one, I asked for the link, and they said it's not established yet.

so in short they lied and have no license.

Stay away.

what does a license do esp if you are from certain countries? license is meaningless and many that do have it seems the license is just a a meaningless doc that hold no accountability or jurisdiction over them...In the world of offshore for many of us all we truly have to go by is forums and a books past history to judge trustworthiness. it's all good til it's not is so true. So far in the small sample size of the year they have been around Odys88 has been a solid alternative to AC88.....Hopefully it continues that way

It's not only about the lack of license. For instance Fairlay looks much more serious https://fairlay.com/legal/ in comparison Odyssey doesn't even have terms and conditions on their website, it looks amateur, read their thread on bitcointalk and it sounds like a clandestine service, I wouldn't trust them but it's your call and I wish you the best of luck!

I hear ya...I wish AC88 would get there act together with their exchange's and add a new one too...Orbitx @ 6% AC88 or Orbitx 3% Odys88 plus winfair @ 4% makes Odys88 very appealing esp with the fast funds in and out

Moneygreen · 11-15-19, 11:23 AM

I've been a customer of them a month ago as I saw some of the good feedback of the veteran members from here like littlekona and football champ and so far all transaction are smooth. Deposit and withdrawals are fast. The highest deposit I have made was around 800 € and If I won, I just withdraw my winnings immediately then deposit again if needed since both transactions are free of charge.

Moving on. We have different kinds of point of view for every service. I guess its okay as long as they pay then no issues rather than those who have licenses that they show on their website but they dont pay your winnings 😊

I will update here If I encounter problems with them.

People use these brokers with scary size exposure. 6 and 7 figures not uncommon.

I'd guess the established brokers would be holding high 8 figures, or even more, for players most days.

I checked Odyssey out recently and this turned me off right away. T&C's for the most part can include anything the operator wants so there's no reason not to have any. More importantly, they set a baseline of expectations; to have nothing is a huge red flag for me.

ZAMAZA · 11-15-19, 05:29 PM

Spanish DNI.

Poisec · 11-16-19, 05:23 AM

Thanks ZAMAZA that will be very useful. By any chance do you have the back side and also a proof of residence?
