    Asianconnect - Fairexchange account permanently closed and 37k seized unfairly.

    Asianconnect customer since 2016, used various products/bookmakers/exchanges with them over the years.

    3.5 weeks ago opened a fair exchange account.

    Deposited 12k.

    After 4 days got a message that my account was suspended and was being investigated for a breach of their terms and conditions.

    Balance was 37k at that time (euros)

    Today they give me news that my account is permanently closed and funds seized due to "passing funds" which I assume means they claim I passed money from one account to another.

    Asianconnect in this time just said we wait for Upline, we wait for Upline, we wait for Upline, then today, Upline decision sir, final decision sorry sir etc etc.

    I plan to put this all over twitter etc, as effectively asianconnect are encouraging their customers to put money into somewhere that is completely unsafe/criminal. I don't see how I can get paid the money now as there is nowhere I can appeal to but I thought I'd write here first to see if anyone has any advice.

    By the time I'm finished with them will make sure they lose out in more than 37k in lost custom (damage to their reputation) at least!

    before you do anything against AC88 if you are truly innocent file a complaint with SBR as they have good communications with them....Many of us Innocent punters have been through investigations by upline and all have been resolved positively though some have taken a few weeks....

    What does "Passing funds" mean exactly?

    Can someone explain this?

    They suggest I have two accounts maybe and pass funds from one to another, like money laundering or something?

    Funds passing is incident where one customer posts an offer for an outcome that will never happen in certain event (like over 6.5 goals in a tight match) and the other side backs that offer - pure loss and "moves" the funds to other person in that manner. I put maybe not-so-good example, but you get the idea.

    It can be in other sports as well.

    Kz, can you please tell us your bet history?

    Did you have any "extreme" bets like super high odds or super low odds? Either back or lay?
    You can maybe post the list of bets on pastebin.com and share the link here possibly and we can look at it.

    I had a range of bets, some low odds lays. Nothing absurd or different to how I'd normally bet.

    Can assure you no funds were knowingly passed between accounts. They invented a reason to keep my funds as far as I can see. It took them 3.5 weeks to do so.

    It means they simply copy the betfair odds and liquidity and every time you place a bet, your bet is actually (at least partially, depending on how they operate and probably if you are a winning account or not) placed on Betfair instantly.

    my advise is to stop posting now and file a complaint w SBR and PM Optional (Mod) If you are innocent posting will not help and can even hurt case....Then update post in a week or if any developments occur

    that's too bad as the site had good functionality and no delays like Orbitx...Until AC88 gets another white label that runs smooth like 9wickets did the best option is Winfair/Mountbet through odsy88. So far with limited use of onlt few months they have been very good 8 withdrawals btc all done in 10 mins or less

    AC should simply start a white label of their own instead of relying on third parties. Makes sense in the long-term.

    Is asianodds their own? I am big fan of AC88 and it's a blessing to have the exchanges for me BUT they really need to get this figured out or get ORBITX to improve the mobil and functionality of the desktop...I just have to much stress using Orbitx with all the spinning and delays

    This guy just got screwed using this scam exchange. Seems like Asian Connect is taking his side which they should. I agree, would be nice if they set up their own bet fair clone though highly doubt it.

    After what happened with Matchbook, OX and FE? Betfair would never want ANY action from AC88 and I can't imagine any other Betfair whitelabel partner "teaming" up with AC ever again.

    Yes, Kona, I know AC88 is A+++++++++++++ book and that you jizz on the mention of their name, it is fine.

    There are quite a few mistakes in your post.

    1) AC wasn't the only broker who stopped providing Matchbook accounts. Betinasia and PT have also stopped providing it. As far as i know, Sportmarket is the only broker that's providing matchbook accounts now.

    2) OX? I think you meant 9wickets. That was due to the article on FT. This was a blow to AC, i agree.

    3) FX - It's pretty clear to me that AC sided with the customer in the dispute and FX wasn't willing to provide more details as to why they seized 37K. If anything, it makes FX look bad here.

    1) What is your opinion, why did that happen like that?

    2) No, I meant OrbitX, AC has been giving OX for years; then they moved to 9W; then to FE.

    3) Do you really think AC would "side" with the customer and lose massive business in terms of offering FE? You are in deep waters here as your understanding is not very pinpoint precise. I think AC would do all they can to return the funds, but given that MB, OX, 9W and now FE closed the door to AC, that, TO ME, means AC's business is not welcome anymore given their practices that have been brought to the public via FT.

    Again, I feel like BF is forbidding any white-label partner to offer access to AC given the FT and white-label issues that have happened in the past.

    if Orbitx was fixed to run like 9wickets desktop and mobil site did that would solve all problems as Orbitx has most markets...That one article really messed up AC88 up...Wonder if betfair will be offered in Iowa, Indiana and Illinois soon

    BTW yes I jizzzz all over the exchanges need em bad for UK races as usa tote odds are awful

    They still have OrbitX. It was 9wickets removed after the Financial Times article about them.

    So I doubt it is anything to do with betfair directly.


    I thought it appeared like AC dropped this Fairexchange mob due to this player complaint too. I have not spoken to them about it and don't know any more than anyone else here though.
