Massive cull at Skybet?

[highlow]

Just logged in to find my account closed.

Quick google search and a couple of forums are reporting accounts being closed recently too, no reason given except that it's a "traders decision".

Only a verbal assurance from Skybet customer service that monies will be paid back.

Will have to see what happens here, but isn't it bad PR for bookmakers to close accounts completely?

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Hehe, me too. Dunno why they bothered, I barely use it since they cut my limits to 1/10th normal.

It's certainly not very sensible PR for a company like Skybet to do a mass one off cull - the other media love to bash Murdoch, and you can be sure this'll be jumped on :-)

It is. But maybe they think it does not matter having a bad PR in US. Or its just beyond their power. (Usually I Got Entire Access)....

But i know Skybet as a serious company - i think you should not be worried about a scam.

Should also be noted that I had a free bet for tonight, as did many others I presume who took part in their cricket offer.

Perfect time to close a lot of accounts after you've qualified for a free bet

Serves me right for trying to liven up the dull game
