Unbelievable.

    It was 2 years ago. I made a deposit there and should be given a bonus. After a week of waiting my balance was still 0. When I mailed them, they didn't reply. I had to call to Malta and then to Austria. After that my money appeared in my account.

    i also received an email from betbrain advertising Betewin, looks like a total scam bookie, no phone contact, no chat just an email address.
    They only take Web$ and MB and the 500 euro bonus is unreal!! I wonder why Moneybookers and Betbrain advertise them, so desperate for some extra ca$h?!?

    Greed, not desperation. Sad, nonetheless. Perhaps we can fulfil Moneybookers' dreams of becoming a verb by using it in just this kind of situation. For example. "I got skrilled good and proper" could start out applying to being ripped off by scam bookies depositing via Moneybookers, and grow over time to just describe any situation in which you're ripped off. Wonder if they'd like that?

    Why would a licensed Costa Rican book have a Romanian IP???

    That should be enough right there. Furthermore, I love all you bonus whores because your the ones go get f**d first because scam books prey on you.

    I'm going to start a book and offer 150% bonus... I'll make it look nice, take your money, and enjoy my new house. I'll send you a postcard from the beach while I'm on my 6 month vacation too.

    Here is what my "about us" will look like

    We are licensed and operated under the Government of Costa Rica

    Though we've never been heard of before we have been in operation since 1993

    *If your IP is from North America you are on the page that says we primarily cater to European clients where we are known for the up most professionalism in the industy. Because of our success in Europe as being a top sportbook we decided to expand our operations to US and Canadian based clients and provide them with a one of a kind service previously only known to the European markets.

    *If your IP is from Europe you are directed to this page that says we primarily cater to North American clients where we are known for the up most professionalism in the industy. Because of our success in the the Americas as being a top sportsbook we decided to expand our operations to European based clients and provide them with a one of a kind service previously only known to the American markets.

    We carry with us financial stability, professional customer service, and some of the fastest payments in the industry, why? Because this page says so, so it must be true.



    Then that's all it will take because you guys our more concerned about a bonus with minimum rollover. Trying to clear bonuses clouds your vision and it makes people lose more bets than what they would've won it they weren't more concerned about making rollover.

    What does it take to convince some people that if it looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is. If you still need a reminder........ go to the bathroom stick your head down the toilet and then look in the mirror and have a word with yourself, because if you put money in here, its going straight where your head has just been.
    How else can I put it......................SCAM!!!!!!

    Betewin Scam

    A number of people have asked "Who are betewin". I can now confirm from bitter experience it is a scam. I will give you my tale of woe and misfortune and then take all the abuse...which I deserve.

    They offer big sign up bonuses and more importantly for me higher odds. I deposited 400 euros, didn't take any bonuses because I didn't want to get locked in by punative rollover hurdles. Despite them cancelling a few bets without notification I managed to get my bank up to 1300 euros. After cancelling a bet I placed 3 days before, less than one hour before the event, I decided enough was enough. I sent them all the ID they required (which they insisted was a certified copy). For the first week of trying to request a withdrawal the moneybookers link didn't work! Eventually when it worked and I was told I could only withdraw my funds at 1% of the balance per month.....this would take over 5 years for me to get my 1300 euros. I have requested my first 5 euro withdrawal, which they say will be processed in 24 hours.....a week has passed not a bean. They have stolen my money, fortunately it is only a small part of my bank so it won't impact my activities. I am posting here just to say DON'T TOUCH BETEWIN WITH A BARGE POLE!!!! IT IS A SCAM and being an experienced internet gambler I should have known better.

    No abuse from here, only credit for sharing.

    Stille a litte scandal that Moneybookers promote betewin.
    And still a little strange that not mentioned in sbr/bookmakersreview/wosb (only NR with one of them).

    Actually i feel that NONE of the ratingguide are particularly good. Either they dont have information of scams or they missed information on several bookies that are seriously.

    Nearly make a deposit to Betewin. NORMALLY i check this forum, several rating guide before make deposit. But was sure that Moneybookers only recommended safe bookies.

    TOTALLY SCAM! First they changed their site address to betewin.com.cn (i don't remember very well) then totally shut it down. I can't find the betting site anymore. They have taken all my deposit without a note. I call moneybookers to see if they can help me to get some infomation about this scam company. MB is the one who dragged me into this.

    Unfortunately MB takes no responsibility for scambooks. The only organizations that can help you are gambling commisions of the state where the book was licensed.

    Come on, how can anybody deposit at such kind of sportsbook? there is no protection for these things. This was the level of the Nigerian president who needs 5000$ to send me 20.000.000$. These things just are not real!
    I agree however that moneybookers should chose more careful which sportsbooks they promote

    I don't understand how Moneybookers can make promotion for untrustworthy books. The loss of confidence costs more than the commission that Moneybookers earns by this promotion.
