    "Even Esports", it's easily one of the most rigged sports out there... LOL

    Look at that bright side, you can make it back at their online casino. Surely that's not rigged too.

    The kid that was involved has made 1.7 million from esports... wtf is wrong w these ppl? And i dont think its right for Galaxy sports to cancel the bet after the match is complete.. Thats like cancelling red sox and houston astros bets now because they stole signs..

    Isn't cancelling rigged matches standard practice?

    I see a huge difference between that and general sports cheating. Not only is cheating commonplace, but the participants are actually trying to WIN, not lose, so the games are still competitive and the outcome uncertain.

    Anyways, sorry that happened.

    They didn't say which game was rigged.

    You just can't cancel every game they played.

    My bets on two different matches have been voided recently because bookie claims both of the matches being "suspicious of match-fixing" without providing any prove whatsoever. They refer to an organisation called Federbet which is financed by the industry.
