sportsinteraction.com are still pure scammers

Brooks · 11-06-06, 04:11 PM

im sorry for you situation kass.

if anyone is thinking about signing up with sportsinteration it is in your best interest to use neteller.

other methods seem to open up the doors to potential problems and as gamblers we should limit any more bullshit than we already have to deal with.

ive been there 2.5 years and have never had a problem including a withdrawal of 2500 last week paid on time thru neteller.

TLD · 11-06-06, 06:00 PM

From what I can piece together from the opening post, the poster did the equivalent of bouncing a check to SIA. He insists he didn’t do it on purpose, that it was the fault of some middleman outfit called “usemybank,” and that ultimately he and his bank were able to clear things up. In the interim, SIA voided his bets due to the bounced e-check.

Not sure without knowing all the details if SIA was wholly in the right here, but somehow I don’t think what’s been stated establishes that they are “cheats and scammers who also dabble in the theft industry.”

I bet a ton of money with SIA from 2002-mid 2005. The only problems I had were C/S and their personal banking system (forget the name). When I got out of Neteller I haven't re-up w/them. But I always got paid.

JoshW · 11-06-06, 06:50 PM

Was having trouble follow what actually happen, but TLD's version sounds correct.

You are welcome to email us at Assistance@sportsbookreview.com and we can look into it. Bounced checks can't be honored by books or else fraud would be even higher. But if SIA really was what caused the bounce that would be another issue.

SIA is certainly not a total or otherwise scam book.

kass · 11-06-06, 07:12 PM

I think maybe i didn't state this clear enough.This "*********" tryed to withdraw three times from my account , however two were returned to my account 1 was paid to "si" so there was no bouncing of any payments which would have voided my bets.Further more we are not talking a voided bet we are talking about them closing my account and taking MY money.The previous 500$ was not in question just this "questionable" tactic from *********.Why was there no email first or telephone call to find out from my side?They didn't have a problem taking my first 500$.They are just listeneing to "*********" or some other b.s is going on.Whatever the case may be they are still screwing me over as i did nothing wrong.As for the person that got paid all this big money maybe your part of there tribe or your the lucky 1 in 1000th cutomer that they decide not to **** over.Either way this is just another scam from there site.You can use this info as just another warning about this bogus site.

I have personally made a withdrawl request from SIA about 10 days ago. I have sent all the documents that they have asked for, emailed them so many times, but i have never gotten a solid reply as to what has happened with my withdrawl request.

The strangest thing is that i got an email confirming the withdrawl has been processed and sent to my bank account via wire transfer, but 2 days later i get an email from them saying they still needed proof of address??? Later when i asked Customer service about the email that i got confirming the withdrawl, and that is has indeed been processed, they said they had no evidense of such a transaction or such an email, and i had to forward the email that THEY themselves sent me, confirming the withdrawl. I am still waiting for their reply. And if i call them once a day, they get so pissed at me, and and tell me that i have to wait until they contact me, which will probably take 15 days. I will definetley not be using SIA anymore.

Yet more complaints filed against SIA today.

12/7/2006 8:10:00 AM
Player Complaint: SportsInteraction SPORTSINTERACTION (SBR rating C-) cancels wager after event begins; does not alert player. Bettor tells SBR that he watched an entire NBA game rooting for his team, the Phoenix Suns at +4. After the event was over he found that the winning bet was void due to a "bookmaker error." The bettor is upset that: 1) He did not receive a time-stamped email showing when SIA canceled the bet, and; 2) The book had the luxury of viewing the match in play. Players who compare sportsbook odds were aware of the market price and that the line was erroneously reversed. Sports Interaction claims the bet was canceled 7 minutes after post time and tells SBR they plan to email players when wagers are canceled in the future.

It was an obviously bad reversed line. Phoenix -3

bigloser · 12-08-06, 12:03 PM

As it looks like this is going to turn into a linching of the guy who placed a bet on a 'bad ' line I thought I would get my comments in first.
Yesterday (havent checked today) C Bet365 Pinnacle and Cris all A+ books were quoting lines on NFL futures where some of the teams quoted had already been eliminated.
Are these bad lines ?

Very good post, good question.

Those teams obviuosly should be pulled from the prop if the have been eliminated. I dont see what accurate odds you could place on them? It seems like a way to scalp the unknowing.

pags11 · 12-09-06, 12:52 AM

kass,

good decision to move away from these guys...

melinsurance79 · 06-30-09, 08:27 PM

GIVE ME A YEAH PINNACLE.

durito · 06-30-09, 08:30 PM

sweet, we have players talk appearance

everyone check out the sia thread in sportsbooks and the industry

pokerfeen · 01-31-10, 08:17 AM

i agree about sportsinteraction being shady

hey everyone i used sportinteraction for 2 years and like most people lost a lot of money. But the one time i won 400 bucks in a parlay..it was the hardest thing i have ever encountered for them to actually give me my winning. For some reason when the parlay won the wagering history said i lost one of the games by 2 points..when i actually WON by 2 points. After 4 days of waiting on hold for hours..and them saying i was wrong; they FINALLY found out i was right and credited my account, sadly that wasnt the worst part though. I requested a check withdraw, "us postal express," which was a ridiculous 40 dollar fee. But anyway, i recieved the check 8 days later instead of the 2-3 i was guranteed and the CHECK LOOKED FAKE!..i never saw a check that looked so fragulant. I take it to my bank to cash, and they tell me that the check looks fragulant and cant be cashed. They even called the banks phone number and got no response. I then went to a check cashing place where i was also told that the check looked bogus. This check was not only larger then most checks, but instead of signing the top of the check like normal, this check made you sign in the middle of the check on the back. It also said it was a "out of country" check. After 5 days of trying to cash it, a really good friend of my mine that worked at a bank went against his belief in it being fake and trusted me enough to cash it. Thankfully it wasnt fragulant but it looked so fake. So not only did it take 4 days to get the parlay valid, 8 days to get the check, but a extra 4 days to cash it. Sportsinteraction is a joke, which is why i now go through sportsbook which seems much much better to me.

p.s. Its crazy how these sites take the money within seconds when you lose a bet, but when you win, they take there good ol' time and give you problems.

Sawyer · 01-31-10, 08:41 AM

Sportsinteraction is a horrible book, just stay away..

LUCKYCHUCK · 01-31-10, 09:35 AM

AMBlai01 · 01-31-10, 09:46 AM

I actually have to step in and say that I have never had anything but great experiences with SIA. I have always been paid by them and although I would like quicker methods than what they do offer US players it still came in the time that they actually stated so I can't really complain. I have never had much of a problem with them grading any of my plays and never had an issue depositing a check at my bank.

tonyhomo · 01-31-10, 10:05 AM

sia is solid,
they once graded a wager wrong because their was a 3 pointer in the last second of the game which only was a 2 pt shot after they had reviewed the shot .
It only took them a few minutes after i went to live chat and reported the grading error to fix it.

bradthebloke · 01-31-10, 10:09 AM

hmmm, pokerfeen, ahmadfd, and kass, all same guy?

Stay away from this books at all costs!

BeatTheJerk · 01-31-10, 12:07 PM

They have a banner on SBRodds.com lol sick ...................... That's a money motivated disgrace in my opinion.

anybook that starts with sports should be avoided

Shills and Other Frauds

Did you ever resolve the situation with sia? They are lying scum but very smart about it. I've got two bounced checks to prove it. Have you noticed the shills they have on sbr posting counter arguments to your post? I also noticed that sbr has upgraded these thieves and have a banner ad on the website. Please write to me at martin@bewaresportsinteraction.com and let me know.

panamasports · 01-04-11, 08:39 PM

In a previous thread "Beware Sportsinteraction" I wrote that my account had been closed due to an "IP conflict." After three months and nearly 100 emails between sia and myself, they finally sent me two checks and I was very relieved. The problem is - both checks bounced and were returned by the bank.

I'm setting up a website called www.bewaresportsinteraction.com with links to all of the emails, bounced checks, lies, threats and other information regarding sia you may want to know. I call the string of emails "The Trail of Lies." If you take the time to read it, you will find how sportsinteraction plays mind games where they threaten you against using sbr, while (courteously and professionally) offering you a method to get paid and after weeks of delay, write an email that begins with “unfortunately we cannot send money this way but if you try another way….” Which only begins another cycle of delay.

Any organization that dedicates so much time to withholding payouts using such deceptive tactics cannot be trusted with your money.

If you'd like a pdf of the emails - just write to martin@bewaresportsinteraction.com.

This guy is probably dead. he has 2 posts since 2006 and you ask him if he got it resolved.

What a surprise I've been waiting over 2 weeks and been told to wait next week everyday this sites a joke, pls
avoid it at all costs everyone

jayc88 · 01-05-11, 09:48 AM

sia is a solid book
most people who have problems with them have multiple accounts or bet on bad lines
i've been with them for more than a year until they finally kicked me out and i never had any problems and also received my money within a few days

bettilimbroke999 · 01-05-11, 10:04 AM

Why do the only ppl knocking SIA have 3 or 4 posts and those of us with positive experience have 3 or 4 thousand posts, kinda makes ya wonder. SIA is just a regular book, but like all books they are worried about scammers, if your processor literally told them to suspend your account it sounds like you need to call your processor C/S and say look guys the reason some checks bounced was bc you charged my account 3 times for a single deposit and I didnt have the money in my account to cover the additional charges.

I find it odd that you consider SIA to be scammers when it was your processor that told them to suspend your account bc you were bouncing checks, straighten it out with your processor (who is the one that apparently ****** you in this case) and get them to straighten it out with SIA.

bettilimbroke999 · 01-05-11, 10:10 AM

LOL, oh **** I didnt realize this thread was from over 4 years ago, someones bumping some oldies and that November date made me think this was a recent post. Who knows maybe SIA was having problems in 2006, I didnt have an account with them until 2009 so I have no idea, but my experience with them is that they're a standard legit book.

Bookmaker is a standard legit book with the highest vig of any sportsbook and some of the sharpest lines in the industry (as a previous poster said unless you bet openers there is no reason to play at bookmaker).

Sorry Sir you fail.

Let's try buying half points on and off 7 at 10 cents each on NFL.
Or also let's try getting 5 points on a mixed NBA / NFL teaser during a week only one +EV teaser leg might be available on Bookmaker.
Non Shaded Teaser Lines great in weeks there are multiple options.
Unique positions randomly on NHL.
The 20 other times per week they have best price on a side over each other book.

Could go on with more reasons. I keep over a dozen books funded and find myself betting here far more often then say 5Dimes, which technically offers less juice but rarely ever actually has the best/price spread on a side.
