    Betsson sportsbook dispute hits SBR mailbox

    Betsson sportsbook dispute hits SBR mailbox

    A Betsson Sportsbook (SBR rating C+) player files a sportsbook complaint. The user deposited $20, attempted one wager and realised the maximum stake possible was just $1. The player confirmed via Betsson's live chat support that the limit was correct and claims that her country of residence was cited as the reason behind it. | Read more

    Wow, a whole dollar.

    Which country of sharps is it?

    First of all, who deposits a measly $20? The player is just as ludicrous as Betsson, in my humble opinion.

    Secondly, it's only a 1x rollover. Surely he can bet 5% of his bankroll ($1), 20x to meet the nominal rollover. Since his deposit wasn't higher, the $1 max bet & 1x rollover is not unreasonable. Maybe that's what you get for depositing a whole $20.

    Why does SBR waste time on this trivial complaint, but when GT Bets & BetIslands steals money from me & others it's ok?

    Fair enough but the book is saying the reason is country of residence. Discriminatory practices that should be explained.

    Hope this is a joke. Has Betsson closed its doors and run off with her $20, or can she deposit her $20 somewhere else and bet her whole entire bankroll on a single bet.

    I'll make a deal with you. I'll send the woman $20, and you spend the time you would have spent on her doing something about BI.

    ETA: Maybe the sportsbook encourages prudent bankroll management, and will not let you bet more than 5% of your bankroll on a single bet.
