SBObet started to void bets

[AntKoncius]

Hello,

On 31st of March I've placed three bets via sportmarket on SBObet on FK Istaravshan Ura-Tyube vs FC Isfara, equal to 800 euro:

300 euro on over4.25
500 euro on (two orders) on away +0.75 at the result 1-0.

The match ended 6-0 , so only bets on over are won. Handicaps were settled in about 30 min after the match ended, but over was only graded as void next day. I've contacted sportmarket why it is void, they contacted SBObet and this is their answer: SBO stated that the bets in question were voided because their internal team detected suspicious betting activity on this event, so they decided to void the bets in question. Of course I asked why lost bets on the same match were not voided, but I am still waiting for an answer.

If they detect suspicious betting activity and decides to cancel bets, shouldn't they cancel all bets, not just winning ones? I find it really unfair.

P.S. I know that IBC / SING does that, but this is first time with SBObet.

We advise our clients to take note and not to trade too extensively with them during this period. Thank you.''

Considering SBO behaviour for the last months , it's more than obvious that they don't welcome customers from brokers anymore :
-they considerably reduced limits (they sometimes offer incredibly ridiculous max stakes, such as 5 euros, i wonder how they dare doing that...)
-they offer odds/lines for customers who have accounts with brokers that are totally different from odds/lines that are offered to customers who have "normal" accounts. For example odd may be 3.5 for a normal account and only 2 for an account with broker!
-they now tend to void more and more bets for customers who have accounts with brokers.
So, as it is clear they do their best to disgust customers who have accounts with brokers and prevent them to use their lines, i wonder one thing: why don't they simply stop offering their service to brokers ??? Seriously, why? It's obvious they don't want anymore customers who have accounts with Brokers, so why do they continue working with brokers?? Could someone help me to understand??

Probs they use smart action from brokers to adjust their odds with minimal risk of 20 euros per bet. Doubt that people from Malaysia have 20 euros limits like europeans. They simply use europeans to adjust their odds for their asian mug bettors

I am not sure obviously but this is the only i can think to explain their behavior

So a rogue/scam book right there, should be rated as such.

[Camma23]

sbobet became shit. Same as ibc. It should simply be kicked out from asian brokers' offer

[AntKoncius]

Still no reply from SBObet regarding this issue...

[craftbrewer]

It seems that sbo voids only bets placed via brokers and they don't void bets placed via private accounts, do they?
Or at least they void bets placed via brokers much more often than via private accounts.

[dealer wins]

Any bookmaker voiding bets just because they are slow moving their lines should be listed as scam/rogue. And they are also freerolling by voiding after the game ends, which is disgusting!

Well, the worst part is that they void only winning bets from that match. Lost bets are kept.

[Gaze73]

It's all rigged, the house always wins.

[AntKoncius]

Just received the reply that lost bets will be kept. So if they notice suspicious betting activity they will void only winning bets.

So basically stealing is okay with these guys. Then again, I can't play there because the limits are like 20 euro max on everything but premier league soccer. I guess spread the word and let everyone know not to play there.

Do you have a complaint in with us right now about this?

Just did.

Will update here if I receive reply from SBObet for my last e-mail. (Asked them for explanation why lost bets are not graded as void).

Hi all, thread is old, but anyway, today had interesting situation. Have placed three bets (15EUR x 3 trough AC88) on soccer match, on the same outcome but two bets was voided and one settled as win. Also couple other bets from Czech soccer was voided.

[lonnie55]

I placed 4 bets recently, just to see if anything has changed. They voided all of those 4 bets

[ouzoun]

Sbobet not what it used to be. No reason to play there. Replace with Pinnacle simple like that.

[LAbra2k]

sbobet is completely a joke with there limits

[craftbrewer]

Have any of you guys ever had bets placed on top soccer games (english premier league, bundesliga, spanish premier league, serie A, champions league, euro or world cup national teams etc) voided by sbobet or singbet? Looks like they void only bets placed on smaller markets.

[lonnie55]

Simple like that? I wish it was. There are many SBO-exclusive markets where you don't have a choice. It's take it or leave it.

SBObet is beyond shady. They will cancel all your winning bets on soccer matches when scored within 1 to 2 minute(s) of making those bets. Sometimes your bet is held for 2 to 4 minutes because of danger zone then cancelled. If you bet under when scored, you are shit out of luck! I had 3 bets cancelled because they claimed my bets were made using software (bots). This was back in 2011 when I don't even know wtf are bots.
Same goes for football live. If you make a bet when the ball is over the 50 yard line, they will hold your bet. If there is a score, you bet is cancelled. I would recommend you make live bets on Bovada, Bookmaker, or GTBets.

[AntKoncius]

Bovada not available in my country. Bookmaker has cut all minor leagues drastically, I found my bets very rarely there. GTbets has also very narrow market, dont they?

[Judge Crater]

SBO cancels pregame bets without explanation too

[ouzoun]

Avoid avoid avoid.

[Judge Crater]

agree avoid

[70'sMan]

Beyond terrible. Avoid at all costs. No way to win there.

[Judge Crater]

My limits got cut today
