First of all i would like to clarify that i use my friends account who is an old member(i haven't got any sbr account) because it seems that some guys are trying to support the bookies based on the fact that this nickname(mirmiroa)had some posts related to sportingbet in the past.
I believe that I m Sportingbet’s biggest victim of all times, all over the world. This company is the biggest thieve in the betting industry.
Let me describe what happened: On the 26th of January I registered in SportingBet and Vistabet (a clone of Sportingbet) depositing 100 euros in each bookmaker. Sportingbet allows users to open accounts in both brands. Within 2 days, they credit a bonus of 100 euros in each account. Then I deposit again 4800 euros to each account, bringing my balance to 5.000 euros and a total exposure of 10.000 euros. Until this point everything is ok (since I m not a winning client yet).
After a winning streak, my balance in Sportingbet goes to 38865 euros, and in Vistabet goes to 40125 euros. This is an unthinkable balance for everyone, including me.
The next day I request withdrawals of the total amount in both bookmakers and they require from me an id, a utility bill and a screenshot of my Moneybookers account.
I sent them all the documents requested, plus a birth certificate, in order to make sure that everything is ok.
After this, they sent me an e-mail informing me that all documents are ok, and I can go on with the withdrawal. Meanwhile, they stopped my initial withdrawal request, and I had to login again and ask for a withdrawal.
In this point, I started making dreams on how to spend this money, that I urgently needed.
The next day, I found out that both of my accounts were locked, so I decided to contact them via live chat. During this live chat, the clerk requested that a phone call is needed. I called them on the phone and they started interrogating me, but unfortunately for them, they couldn’t find any wrong answer. Then, they told me that the phone number that I gave upon registration was a fake one, which is true, because I don’t want bookmakers to call me in the middle of the night. How could I possibly imagine, that this is a reason for not getting paid?
Then, they requested a phone call from a land line, and I called them from a land line. They informed me during our conversation, that they collected info from the Tele company and this land line doesn’t belong to me, which is also true but why should i provide a phone number that will belong to me?it could belong to someone else from my family or to our company.
They said, that for this reason, they cant pay me the winning amount, and they would just pay me only for the deposits that I made.
I couldn’t believe what was happening.
I m posting this, because I want people to know what Sportingbet is about.
I intent to inform ibas,lga and Antigua and Barbuda Directorate of Offshore Gaming.
I wanted to ask all of you. Is there any way I can pursuit this legally? It would be a great help if you could answer to this question.
Here are screenshots of my accounts.
You can see clearly, that they are taking from me 69.190 euros, just because the phone number didn’t belong to me.
