Here's the email:

Dear Ma'am/Sir,


We regret to let you know that as a result of a change of Management on our end, SportOdyssey88 will be closing its service for all customers since it has been acquired by PIWI247 – one of the leading online betting services.

Piwi247 welcomes you to make use and enjoy their service (www.piwi247.com). It’s a platform wherein you could access three (3) products with the use of a single account. The products mentioned are Pinnacle, Casino, and an Exchange Platform. They also offer a variety of payment options that you can use (Skrill, Neteller and Bitcoin.)


Moving forward, you may opt to withdraw your remaining funds or you may still continue to bet and play using your Sportodyssey88 accounts until 25th of December, 2022 and afterward, all accounts will be suspended or closed. By 26th of December, 2022 all remaining accounts with balances shall be automatically moved to PIWI247.


Should you have further concerns or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

... and if you're the US resident don't wait until 25th of December, because PIWI does not accept US customers ...

Just another day in paradise.

[Camma23]

received too. What do you think about piwi? Anybody have a feedback from them? I've never played with them, and I was fine with Odyssey so far. What to expect?

[tennis1995]

Received as well.
As a consequence, wanted to withdraw my money now - "unfortunately this is currently not possible due to a blockchain issue on our end".
Somebody else received the same information when trying to withdraw?
It is type of getting shady... They have been so good so far. Will keep you updated about the progress of my request.

I received the same response when I made a withdrawal a few months ago. They eventually paid, but it took some persistence on my end.

Day two of "we are experiencing technical difficulties with our blockchain".
Seems like 24 hours did not help to solve this issue.

To me it is an absolute insolence to close your business and basically at the same time announce that you are having issues which do not allow any of your customers to withdraw their money.
As a consequence, said to them and will not place any more bet through my Orbit account with them until I got my money.

Keeping you guys updated regarding my progress - is somebody else experiencing the same problem?

[Poisec]

I don't get it, I thought Piwi were the same guys as Asian connect, they are acquiring sportodyssey who are on exactly the same business model, it doesn't add anything to the table

Alright so now as the Blockchain seems to be back up they are asking me for KYC which will take between 3-5 days!!
That is just insane being honest with you.

Big red flag, they are trying to buy time for whatever reason. They could have let me known about the necessary KYC already yesterday morning when I told them I was going to withdraw my money to speed up the process.

[kursonik]

The answer for me is "we are having technical difficulties logging into our Bitcoin wallet"

[Poisec]

The answer for me is "we are having technical difficulties logging into our Bitcoin wallet"

Lol. Sounds like they had an account with FTX.

[tennis1995]

Day three in my case of trying to get my money.
KYC still to be completed despite 24 hours have passed now.

[Alfie White]

That's what happens when you use circus outlets with 0 licensing and trustworthiness.

This post really helps at this point, thank you!

Stay away from these places

[tennis1995]

Got my money paid out today after getting in touch with their account manager (Bianca Morries) through Telegram.
She took care of the KYC as fast as possible and I got paid my low five figure amount just right after the KYC process was confirmed by her.

Really have to give credit to her, once I got in touch with her she really took fast care of business.

Bianca is great. I will really miss her.

[kursonik]

After exchanging 20 emails back and forth, 3 times their "blockchain wallet stopped working", but they finally paid me my balance, even without KYC.
Probably because it was a low four-figure balance.

They're clearly playing a dirty game. But why?

If they have the money and are going to pay like me and @tennis1995, then why all this mess and lies? One excludes the other in my opinion.
If they don't have money for everyone, they'll just pay some and close the business. And what will you do to them?
Either way, their reputation suffers and the reputation of Piwi247 that took them over.

Another question - what is Piwi247's reputation now?
What is your experience with Piwi247 via Asianconnect?

[Moneygreen]

I just withdraw my balance now and it was processed fast.
Odsy88 has been good on my end ever since i've used their service.
Few months ago I had a complaint about wrong settlement of bet on my ps3838 account and they helped me.
Maybe we should not judge them first. For me, no service is perfect.
There was a delayed but the important thing is they pay their customer in the end

I have an account with Piwi247 directly, not via Asianconnect but i stopped using them for a while since I took a break on betting due to pandemic. I havent use them again ever since i'm back. But I like odsy88 customer service more than them

[kursonik]

I presented the facts and my opinion. That's what this forum is for.
They played a dirty game with me and that's a red flag.When they paid me my money, I also wrote about it - that's what this forum is for, so others can form their opinion.
If you haven't had any problems with them - good for you, good to know, but now it's more important how CS Piwi247 will work.

I asked odsy88 if they will be moving to Piwi247, they said Yes. They will be working with Piwi247 and that is a good news for me.

Yes, If we can update this forum so everyone will be aware. ��

Any indication if piwi will allow US players?

[Camma23]

a step is not clear to me. If we keep funds inside Ody account shouldnt they move into Piwi by default? I got yes, but reading your past messages about withdrawing I'm in doubt

btw, waiting more feedbacks from Piwi users. I've been with Odyssey for some months and quite good experience

[Camma23]

Or have you moved already to Piwi platform?

[Frank]

I was told yes and told them to transfer what I got on Dec 26th.

[kursonik]

I was told yes and told them to transfer what I got on Dec 26th.

I was told by Jamila Moore from Odsy:

"We're sorry but Piwi does not accept customers from the US."

They really need to get their story straight.

This is what the same person sent to me:

Hello Sir,


Yes, they accept USA players but you have to provide a VPN or another IP.
If you have further questions, let us know.

Regards,

Jamila Moore
Account Manager

[Alfie White]

As said, circus operation.

[Barrakuda]

Pls keep us posted on piwi247 after the 26th.

[Camma23]

I was told yes and told them to transfer what I got on Dec 26th.

mmm not exactly. Last part of the mail I received says this

"You may withdraw a portion of your funds now and/or continue using your Sport Odyssey account until 25th of December (Christmas Day). After that day. On the 26th of December, all remaining balances will "automatically" move to PIWI247 and we will send you the log-in details to your same email."

[thagame24]

I withdrew a large portion without a problem and then transferred the remainder to Piwi. However i've had nothing but problems accessing the pinnacle portal through Piwi, errors out every time. Both piwi and odsy customer service have assured me that I'm grandfathered in to this merger and will be able to play with Piwi, but so far it's been a major pain. I'm traveling the next couple days, will try different VPNs and browsers when I'm back home. If any US players have had their accounts transferred and have successfully been able to wager through the Piwi pinnacle platform, details would be appreciated!

[Barrakuda]

anyone from US get a payout from piwi yet?

[EasyTiger]

It appears that they require KYC prior to payout. I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens.
