It's nice OP finally has a solution but calling it a "goodwill gesture" to only refund the bet is a long shot. In my opinion it's fair to assume that OP won the bet actually since every other map bet stated "including overtime", his bet didn't so he had to assume that overtime is NOT included. So the result in regular time was 12:12 and he bet under 12.5 -> he won.
Sure OP will be happy to get at least some money back but I doubt it's the resolution he was hoping for to be honest.

The case is not so easy to settle IMO, because the rules applying to those e-sport bets say that overtime is included unless the market name "expressly" states otherwise. So market names should only specify an overtime exclusion when needed and nothing else theoretically, unlike what it has been done.
Then, in one hand, written rules are pretty clear regarding overtime for e-sport markets, in another hand market names are misleading and not really aligned with those rules. They should change this rule or change the way they are naming e-sport markets for more consistency IMO.

Hey folks,

Apologies for the late response, I was away on vacation myself and so were other team members. But I'll add that I was in constant communication with both OP and Holydarkness, so while the case took longer than usual to come to a conclusion, we were still working on it.

We'll be able to help OP out in this situation and their bet will be refunded. If I'm not mistaken the refund should already be credited to his account.

We decided to refund the bet to OP as a goodwill gesture. They were really patient while waiting on our side to come to a decision, and also are a long-time member, so we decided to go with it this way. While the markets were a bit confusing, our sports provider wasn't really in the wrong here, but regardless of that, we came to this decision.

Thanks

I can confirm this, that despite the delay due to mass-vacation, their rep [ADante, to be very specific] gave his best to remain in constant communication with me and persistently trying to get this one resolved, as best as he can despite the remote access [so I can imagine this vacation is kinda hell and stressful for him, LMAO]. So, kudos to FJ and their resolution attempt, and especially as they choose to refund the OP up-front, despite the investigation by their provider itself is still ongoing.

OP, can you please confirm that you've get the deposit? If you have, kindly mark this one as resolved and lock this?

Does someone know who is the odds provider of FortuneJack precisely? Because I would be suprised if the odds provider has made a mistake even after a complaint from the FJ customer support and a manual check of the outcome to be honest. It must be a rather common bet.
Their Terms and Conditions for sport and esport bets are rather long and exhaustive actually, so I guess they haven't been written by FJ themselves but by the odds provider instead. And they seem to be rather clear about this point tbh. On the other hand, the mention "(incl. overtime)" in the name of some esport bets is very(too much IMO) confusing and misleading for the customers, and it doesn't fit with their own rules about e-sport bets actually. So I think they should refund OP's bet at least, and change the title of their e-sport bets, in order to harmonize them about this point. It wouldn't be professional to leave things as they are currently, IMO.

I was just from my inbox, replying ADante about something. Like... literally. I hit send and then go to new replies "page", and clicked this thread. If no one answer this and/or their rep hasn't officially respond to this query when I got a response on my inbox, I'll make sure I extend them this question.

The name of their odds provider you mean? I'm afraid they won't be very keen on disclosing it tbh. But they should do something because those discrepancies between their written rules and the names of their markets seem to even confuse the provider agents. Because the way the guy replied is ambiguous and could even be interpreted as contradictious when he says "the raund ended in overtime,the user didnt have the market for that", I agree with OP. We don't know what was the actual question sent by the customer service agent to them but the point was precisely about understanding if rounds played or ended during overtime apply to this market not mentioning "including overtime" in its title unlike others, and why.

Pure and honest curiosity, when did they changed representative? Ball park is fine.

I'm not accusing you of misinformation, I'm sincerely asking here out of curiosity, because their reps [yes, plural, the forum account is being handled by at least two different staffs] always signed their correspondences with me with the same name for quite some time. And these ones are very responsive with me. I wonder what it looked like if the previous one was even more responsive than the current ones.

I am pretty sure tokash has left FJ/left his current role. I know he used to handle their X + maybe bitcointalk too.

Another staff i know who left was kubb who i saw on their discord

Its possible one or both of them have just taken new roles, but the chatter on their discord is that they left

I know they are not known as a scamming casino, but as support said nothing else could be done i did not have any other way to dispute this, posting here would also give me opinions of other more experience crypto players,

I have been contacted by their rep and they are looking into it, however they are on some vacation so it might be slow.

Dealing with online support is very hassle especially on an issue that is trivial to them. They will just keep forwarding your issue to technical department then gives you a firm no answer without trying to give a consideration on your case.

IIRC, Fortunejack representative was changed since the previous one is always active and helpful. But they always keep doing their best to help users here in the forum that’s why they still keep the reputation solid despite having some isolated cases like this.

Your bet has some merit on it but I’m skeptical if they have ToS to support their finding like a deciding factor that ended on bet like this. Does the support quoted something from their ToS during your conversation?

They have not mentioned any ToS.
The 2 reponses in screenshot are the only ones they gave. As you can see i asked for sportsbook manager which was denied.

Hence i posted here.

There are nothing to worry. FJ is an old bookmaker and earned a lot of respect in the community. I know you from sportsbet.io thread and you always been nice so there are nothing to doubt about you too. I am sure it will be settled sooner or later. It's the anxious time for you to wait for the time.

I see that you're a full member laying such accusation on the gambling platform which first attract my attention because the ones am used to see here were coming from the newbies in most cases, but in this case, you have already contacted their agent, chatted and they responded you with the reason for such experience, then maybe there is something elsewhere we are not seeing further and more light is needed in other for us to have more clue over the situation, but as regards the platform, they have their announcement thread here in which they use in passing out information across and you can check on their representative if he is still active on the ANN thread, but be rest assured that this platform is not known for what you're thinking of it, they have high reputation and profile here and many higher rank members are making use of their platform without issues.

I bet you didn't read the thread carefully and quite possibly [spam] posting the thread just for the sake of post count. Both OP and I have been in touch with the rep that handle forum's account. They know about this and promised each and both of us that they'll get to the bottom of it. Things will be just a bit slow due to mass vacation.

Its CS2 so its best of 24 rounds,

The general idea is heroic to NOT win in regular time, which they did not, as it was a draw.
Its like betting +0.5 on a soccer playoff game and it ends tied after regular time. You are betting on a team to NOT win during the 90 mins.
I bet on heroic to NOT win in regular time, which they did not.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t notice that it’s CS2 that’s why I’m a bit confused on the total score and your bet.

You’re right about your accusation that this bet was settled improperly since there’s no note about inclusion of OT in the game. They offer a less than 12.5 which means a game that result to tie at the end of regular time should be a win for you same with all the sports game and other e-sports.

OP, I've got a reply from their rep., and I was informed that they've reached you as well, and was informed about several things. They're getting to the bottom of this, but as several of the staffs are on leave [I guess they're on some corp. field trip or sth], things will be a bit slow. They assured me that they'll still give their best in spite of the current situation, and I will ask your patience on this. Rest assured that I will push periodically for updates until things got resolved.

Thanks, i am a bit active on their discord so i guess they recognised me and DM'ed me as well. I am aware they are looking into this as well as some staff being on vacation. Hopefully an update comes soon.

I'm not that familiar with esports. What is normal as far as bets? Are they normally settled regular time or is overtime included when it's not clear?

Usually it stated including overtime on bets like this.

What’s odd for me is CS:GO rules is race to 16 on each round which means a 16-12 outcome will not result to OT unless both team reach 15 score. Also it’s not clear to me that your bet is under 12.5 for Heroic while they won on the game which means you clearly loss based on my understanding that you are betting that Heroic will not win the game since it’s under the target score 16 to win the game 1.

~~I’m not updated on CS:GO rules but can you share the current rules?~~

I just saw the outcome https://www.hltv.org/stats/matches/mapstatsid/182384/b8-vs-heroic, it’s race to 12 but still the problem is your bet is somehow a bug but the general idea of your is for Heroic to lose the game since you are betting under the target score to win the map.
