emanuel, it wasn't like you won 32k out of the blue in some sort of lottery. you saw a promo which was ev+ to you, obviously ev - to the book and likely based on some sort of an error on their part and totally raped it. good for you and i think you should get paid, but going on about how unfair this all is to you you're trying to make yourself look like some sort of a newbie who happens to have won a lucky jackpot and is now ****** over by the book, while things are obviously not so black-and-white. good luck with getting your money back though.

Yes, the violins and the angels in the background are a bit of a smoke screen. However, I hope he gets his original deposited amount back at least.

I don't think these debits are card deposits effected by Betfair from the player's actual debit card, I think they're straight reversals, done by the bank at Betfair's behest. Look at the amounts - they're identical to the credits. We know this is an option for operators and financial mechanisms. While Betfair bashing is very much justified in this whole affair, I don't think accusing them of "illicit use of player debit card" is a road to anywhere. I don't know much about Portuguese banks, but I do know they're in a sorry mess right now on account of their rampant profligacy, so their righteous astonishment at how this terrible thing could have happened could well be them trying to shift the blame onto Betfair, rather than acknowledging that they authorised the reversals.

It's still rather odd, as I understand that UK banks do have this legal option and I'd have assumed it'd be common to all <shudder> European Union </shudder> countries, and as such the Portugal bank would have nothing to fear.
