My Youwager account hacked and $7k stolen via BTC

I'd be surprised if they plan to confiscate anything from you guys.

In fact I think you can be almost certain they won't.


I think I would take the account suspensions as a positive development right now. Something is happening about this in there.

At this point, it's pretty clear that this wasn't really a "hack" so much as it is some kind of in-house Youwager scam or employee theft. Shocking that rather than apologize for their error and pay out the customer and admit their mistake, Youwager are doubling down and confiscating funds. Hopefully SBR will get them to come to their senses.

Anyone have more info on the change in ownership that was mentioned? It seems clear that whoever is running that joint has no control over what's going on there right now with four different people in this thread having issues, along with another thread on the front page where they are confiscating much more funds from a different player. There are tons of complaints about customer service over the years from my searches, but certainly nothing like this. So it does seem plausible that some change of ownership and or management has taken place.

Other than a small beef about their horrendous new bonus wheel and how I got screwed out of a bonus, I've never had a problem with YouWager, and always gotten paid very fast; however, I'm seeing more and more things posted and small complaints that is starting to lead me to believe there is some smoldering that could be developing into a small fire..... keep those balances low would be my advice

I am not trying to get into trouble myself or cause any problems for this website.

But i really believe this should be on the main page of sportsbookreview.com on the sportsbook and industry news.

I'm only looking out for many other players that might of lost their payouts, and don't know what to do.

I was aware of this website for over 10 years, but only recently realized/started looking at the forum.

If I didn't come across fossilman's post, I wouldn't of known what to do, or had any chance of getting this resolved, as youwager told me that they aren't doing anything about it.

I really think that other people should be aware that there seems to be a serious problem with youwager, and be aware that maybe they can get help.

This is very important sportsbook industry news, and should be displayed for everyone to see. I'm not trying to get a sponsor in trouble, although I do think they have acted completely disgracefully and unfairly.

I'm just trying to look out for other players that could be missing money.

I think the only proper thing to do would be to put this on the front page of the main website, and not just here in the forum to help others.

I had also been on a 3x weekly BTC payment plan. Three months ago the payments slowed to 1 per week, then three weeks ago they stopped altogether. Customer service still tells me they are paying 3x per week and the last payment is scheduled for late November--I still have 33k outstanding.

I don't mean to argue with you, just want to make my point. I understand that it seems like you may be paid either directly in indirectly by youwager, so you seem to wish to defend them.

I agree with you that the account suspensions may be a sign that they are investigating this matter.

However, I strongly disagree with you that them not paying the remaining balances at this moment is completely unacceptable and just causing more pain for the players.

I have had to wait over 2 months for my payouts since they closed my account. Not even including the missing money that we are disputing.

They emailed me to confirm my final 2K payout would be paid on November 22nd. There is no worry or concern from their side about this final payout, as I mentioned my account is fully verified, with passport/utility bills. And I've emailed to confirm that this payout should go to the same payout address that my previous payouts had been received at.

So for them to stall and now not pay me this payout in a timely manner, with no valid reason, I don't understand how anyone can justify or think this is a good thing.

Its really sad the lack of response in this thread by SBR. Only response is by a mod defending them to the death

You have a thread about you wager stealing 77k from a player, a thread about accounts getting hacked and players not paid, and its crickets in here by SBR

indeed. The other thread leaves some room for discussion at least, but if everything is true what is said in this one - and I can see no reason why it shouldn't be, with the evidence brought up from different people - this deserves nothing less than an F rating and a warning on the main page. We've seen Betdsi getting downgraded to D last year for far less than this.

They don't deserve and F rating, they aren't outright taking deposits and not making any payouts.

However, as requested before, to help other players.

How come this is not on the front page of Sportsbookreview.com Under sportsbook and industry news?

It must be put up there to help others know that they aren't alone and that they should file a case like the people in this thread

Other players should know of this problem they are having, and that they have some hope of getting their payouts resolved.

Do you understand that?

Here's a tip, if you want someone else to answer or help you out in any way, starting off by saying I understand you talk any old shit you are paid to say and have no personal honor, is not a good strategy.

So let's get that out of the way.... please quote a post from this thread where you see me "defending youwager" at all?

^^^ So, no problems with any of that I assume????


Here's another chance for the rest of you guys daring to question my personal integrity.

Quote ANY post of mine on the forum about Youwager in any thread where you think I have lied, been unfair, or where you see me as "defending Youwager" where I should not be.

i understand your frustration optional, you are going for the middle ground by helping the players in here without pissing of the book


but acting 'insulted' by what ywpain has said is hypocritical. you take money from the same books that you are claiming to be policing. that is the definition of conflict of interest. ywpain was not rude about it, he was stating a fact

if you dont like people pointing to the conflict of interest, stop taking money from sportbooks, or stop taking complaints regarding your sponsors
