    Is there a problem with AsianConnect? Not able to connect.

    URL: http://asianconnect88.com

    I'm in the U.S. now. Is that the problem? Haven't been able to load it for a couple of days.

    yes, just a default web host page. From Australia.

    I'll contact them and see if I can get an answer.

    A manager replied fairly fast but did not tell me a whole lot.

    "We are experiencing some technical issues on our website at the moment. Our web hosting provider is running into some unforeseen issues which we are currently trying our best to liase with them to get them fixed as soon as possible. "

    He said he would keep me up to date with the status so if he tells me an ETA I will pass it on.

    At least we know they are still there ;-)

    They say it will more likely be days rather than hours until the website is back.

    No further explanation as to why that long.

    That's a little odd, given the website doesn't really do anything remotely complex or interactive.

    +1...really odd.

    Do AC clients log in through a separate site? Is their service disrupted?

    for what it's worth i'd stay as far as possible from this outfit. extremely poor customer service, they have been linked with some despicable behavior in the past few months. very shady...the chinese just have a different way of doing business.

    I see SBObitcoin has been "rebranded" as OleBitcoin.

    I guess either SBO explained that was a parasitic domain name, or they hired someone with a clue to change things up.

    Got to love the testimonial on the front page there at the moment

    “Asianconnect has always been offering a splendid service to me. When I bet, it is very important for me to have a consistent and reliable service. Being able to bet 24 hours 7 days a week without any down times ever since I started to use Asianconnect is one of the most important factors to me and this quality has been delivered by Asianconnect. Over more than four years I never had a problem with payouts. The opposite has been the case! Flexible and quick payment methods are just really good as well. Personally, I am looking forward to use the service in the future and I hope Asianconnect can keep up the great work!”

    Not the OP but I can answer. Most of it behind the scenes. They have attempted to rob multiple players who were silenced and don't say jack because they are on payment plans. Be VERY careful of having large money with them. Seem to be okay for small players but not an out you want to have a balance that is worth jacking with.

    yes i can confirm this as being true.

    furthermore, it's not good to post a lot of this on sbr because that could potentially hurt sbr's relationship with asian connect. their upper management act like 12 year olds and they would be upset if they saw a lot of negative threads about them on the forum. that could make it more difficult for sbr to negotiate on players' behalf in the future.

    Don't let that stop you saying what you want.

    If it's fair criticism SBR wants to see it.
