    Marathonbet/Panbet Financial trouble?

    Hi guys, I have heard rumours that these guys are in financial trouble and cannot pay their players. I have been waiting for a four figure withdrawal for a few days now and there are reports on other forums of people waiting even longer for even bigger withdrawals.

    Obviously I hope the rumours are not true and someone can put my mind at rest...?

    I have recently heard of many issues with them. People waiting weeks for withdrawals etc but I have been paid okay recently - even though it took some time.

    I doubt they are in financial trouble so you should be okay.

    According to their last set of accounts to 31 December 2012 the net assets of Panbet Limited was a staggering 6,941,730gbp negative, after making a post tax profit of 170k in the year.

    Fortunately they have some long term finance and whoever they owe 7.1m gbp, doesnt look like they need it back in a hurry.

    There is presumably more to the story, possibly involving Panbet Curacao N.V 'a company registered in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles', which may own something of Marathon.

    Very interesting. Jimmy you should take few smaller withdrawals. Sometimes it take 10-20 seconds to send withdrawal,i didnt believe as fast as deposit. Ill take care about this news you are showing us,its good warning sign. Can sbr investigate this,so we can be rest assured that everything is ok.

    I will keep just a low balance there, just to avoid bad surprises.

    Marathonbet is the new shirt sponsor for EPL club Fulham. As far as player related issues, management actively discusses claims with SBR which is a positive.

    I don´t get this hate on Marathon/Panbet. They will limit you soon, but until it happens, you can make a good amount. I have never had any problem with them.
