I realize it's my word against theirs, but you can decide whether you want to believe me or not at your own discretion. I've been posting and browsing these boards forever and just thought I'd share an extremely negative experience I had with rebatewager that could result in criminal action against me and I want to warn everyone else out there. I really don't like how rebatewager handled this and have never been treated this way in the 8 years i have been online gambling by any sportsbook.
Here's what happened.
Last Saturday morning I made a deposit using their card method for $400. I gave them all the information Saturday morning immediately when I got back from the store. I proceded to lose all my money in my account that day. Sunday morning I loaded another $400 by the same method on a new card. Sunday night I try to log in to rebatewager and they told me to contact support. So I did and they told me someone had "used" the funds on the card I gave them Saturday morning before they could get them. Funny enough is that they are the ONLY ones i provided the information to. And also funny enough is that the funds were used Saturday AFTER they got the information from me. At this point, I am 100% convinced that either A) someone hacked into their chat (I'm an IT guy. Trust me no matter how secure they think they are, they are not), B) they have people stealing from the inside, or C) they made a clerical error. In MY defense.... If at this point you think I am the one trying to rip them off. Remember I made another $400 deposit on Sunday which was received in good order. Please tell me why in the world I would do that if I tried to take a shot at them with my Saturday deposit. In addition, the card went straight from cvs to my appt (I live alone) and sat on my desk next to my computer from the time i provided them the information to the time i tried to log in sunday night and was denied. Also just to cover my bases here I don't have a webcam or anything like that. And nobody had been in my appt all weekend.
So anyway. Even though I'm 100% convinced that it is their error and not mine I decide to play by their rules. They re opened my account and froze my withdrawels until there was a resolution. They asked me to call the card company and tell them that someone else used the funds not me. So I do all that (even though I'm 100% sure it was rebate wager that used the funds - at least maybe I can get my money back from them if rebatewager isn't going to - remember rebatewager froze the $400 additional i had deposited and was received) and the card company opens up an investigation. Now I get a call Wednesday from the card company that my account is under investigation, and I'm not getting the $400 back from the card company. They also said they were considering getting the police involved and they didn't trust me and said i couldn't process gambling transactions with the card. So I tell rebatewager this and what do they do... they lock down my account. Granted at this point my balance is only $50 because I was betting like an asshole because i never expected rebatewager to pay.
Point is, It should have never gotten to the point where I had to open an investigation with the card company. I mean are they f'in stupid? They are trying to manipulate a card system to fund illegal gambling and they want me to open an investigation with the card co? I'm pretty sure they were calling my bluff because they didn't trust me. Nice move jackasses. Also... before they made me open this investigation I had mailed rebate wager copies of the card. Copies of the receipts. AND the only proof they should need that I'm not trying to scam them is that i sent them another $400 on Sunday. I'd have to have an IQ of zero to do this after trying to take a shot at them. Trust me my IQ is not zero. I probably have higher education then 99% of the people on this board. And i'm not trying to toot my own horn. I'm just trying to put it in a context that you guys will listen, because I know someone is going to try to pick holes in my story. I'm sure i will miss something. I'm not a story teller. I work with computers.
So basically instead of trusting their customer, and maybe doing their own internal investigation they treat me like a regular criminal and now I'm waiting for police to knock on my door for attempting fraud.
Thanks rebate wager!! You can keep my $50 by the way!
I'm not interested in SBR opening up any kind of ticket with these guys in my defense. I just want to warn others out there. There are plenty of books out there with good customer service who respect, TRUST, and treat their customers well. Don't waste your time with these clowns and their ten cent lines.
This is a very true story. Check my post history if you think I'm just some shill on here to bash a specific sportsbook. This could happen to you.
