    Babibet scam

    Hi, I dont know if this is the right forum to post, but hopefully I can get some help here.

    PLEASE AVOID BABIBET - BIGGEST SCAM SITE I HAVE EVER SEEN!

    It started few months ago when I registered there to be able to check it out before working with their affiliate system. At first it looked like alright website, accepted few bets quite normally and I gave it a C+ rating at my review website (couldn't give more until I went thru withdrawal/verification). Then funny things started to happen. At first I've placed an over 0.5 bet at 85min of football game, it was accepted AFTER game has ended and immediatelly marked as lost. Wrote to support they repleid it's normal for bet to take few minutes to be accepted (is it though?). Next day I place another same bet at around 84th minute, goal is scored 90+4, bet, of course is declined same second as goal was scored. Would have been marked as lost if it wasn't scored.


    That kinda made me think this is not a legit site, started reading more about themn, saw hundreds of scam reports and decided to get my money of out of there. Wrote to their support with inquiry how can I verify my ID, they replied that I dont need to at the moment and did not provide any more info.

    Tried withdrawing, after 3 days money came back to Babibet account. Wrote to support THEN they asked for ID/address and promised to finish withdrawal just after it's sent. I did. 3 mor edays later again withdrawal is cancelled again. Writing to support they tell me they need extra ID proofs. I send them. 3 days later again withdrawal cancelled. Write to them again, they tell me they need to confirm my identity by calling me. I give them time and number, they call me, verify all details and promise me to get my withdrawal within 72 hours. 72 hours later no money, support replies they had ''bug'' and will immediatelly send money now. 72 hours later - no money, support talks about mysterious bug again.

    Then today I wake up to a new email that my account has been locked and they decided not to pay out me, only refunded my initial deposits (THEY ALSO TAXED THEM! Took away 20eur for their hard work they have put in this scam!). Reason? Someone has logged in to another account from same IP that was detected on your account.

    Now listen, I have a dynamic IP address that changes EVERY DAY, even if I wanted to login into two different accounts at different days with same IP, it would be impossible. I live alone, there's literally no other PC available here so it';s IMPOSSIBLE that it was logged in from same IP. Only possibility is that same IP is given to other apartment at some time. I'll be calling my internet providers to ask if that's possible.

    The loss was very small, around 700eur, but that only shows that Babibet is either bankrupt or will scam even for small amounts. No one is safe there, PLEASE get out your money asap to not be in situation like this and spread this message.

    Also, is there anything I can do to make any losses for them? I dont care how much it will cost me, it can be tenths of thousands, as long as they lose more, I'll be happy. It's ridiculous company registered in EU can do stuff like that and I can only feel sorry for those who lose money by depositing there, those euros can be really important for some.

    I did not take bonus.

    As for EU, I see my mistake now. I have read it's registered at Netherlands, not Netherlands Antilles.

    All gaming activity is regulated under license number: 8048/JAZ2015-033 that has been granted by Central Goverment of the Netherlands Antilles.

    You seem to be more experienced here, I tried filling complaint at https://www.sportsbookreview.com/sportsbook-complaint/ but it doesn't show anyt checkboxes near "I am also forwarding e-mail from the sportsbook to help@sportsbookreview.com", "S end me a copy of this Complaint" and thus doesnt let me push submit.

    Can't believe scam like this isn't somehwere near 1xbet at this site ratings.

    edit: I managed to send complaint here. Is there any other websites I can send complaints too? I've forwarded copy to my country gambling federation too

    The Babibet Fraud Dept have sent SBR a fairly detailed report showing why they believe you have been operating two accounts with them.

    This includes IP, device and payment method matches.

    Babibet appear to have acted properly here.

    OP said he didn't take a bonus. What benefits would you have from multiple accounts at Babibet if you didn't take a bonus? The price is changing every time you make a bet. Babibet doesn't limit, right? So basically it works like an Asian book although it's an EU book.

    I would like to understand why people get banned from 1bet/Babibet/18bet

    I didn't realize Babibet was connected to 18bet.

    I agree that more should be wrong than just an IP match. Bonus abuse or circumventing limits should be involved for a confiscation. But the terms don't say that so it's just an ethical opinion really. Looking back, I have personally been allocated 6 (3 at 18bet, 2 at 1bet and this one at babibet) from this group in the last month or so. All but that hacking one mentioned is for multiple accounts. I'll start pushing these guys for more and better justifications.

    Not the same company (officially) but they share the same software with same range and same prices. When the price drops at 18bet the price drops at the same time for the same figure at Babibet and vice versa

    If you have 2 accounts your transactions will be voided.
