Topic: So should I make this bet? - page 3. (Read 2346 times)

This is the problem with new gambling sites. When their bettors win big time they question the gambler why he won that much and ask so much other questions and verification. Also, there are some gambling sites that suddenly change the TOS of their bonuses and the game itself just to prevent some big winnings to be cashed out. You should file a scam accusation here and tell your story so that people would know. Just remember to get all your proofs first. So they won't be able to delete your proof.

When I registered on their site I deposited fine of course and won some btc in a rather large bet so I cashed out.
Then just 3 days later I finally won a larger parlay for 0.495btc.
I then proceeded to withdraw the entire amount of the account when I noticed it did not go thru like the one just 3 days before did within less than 5 minutes. Then I see it was denied in the transactions page.
So I questioned online support and they said to read the email sent to me from the security department.
I uploaded the information they needed to them and then they are still questioning my account access to my requests to withdraw 44 hours later.
So yes I just knew that this would happen and did this so to see what they have to say for themselves now. They still have not responded so I do not expect them to do anything with my account as it is.

If they just gave me an answer from their representative here and not side step my inquiries from the start this would not have gotten to this point.

The only way that they can possibly have me retract everything that I have said about their reputation as a reliable and honest sportsbook site is to reimburse me the 1.16638btc which would include the 16mbtc that has still not been refunded to me under their own promotion rules since my account has been like this since monday night.

Oh, man. I'm really sorry that you are thinking that way, because it's so typical for a gambling addict. I hope you were joking though.

What I really can't understand in the OP is why it was impossible to withdraw the winnings? The OP is saying of this like it was predetermined, but why?

That's EXACTLY why I chose them to continue with any of my future bets.
They don't instate any rules after you have your funds in their hands and you are at their mercy. Even after the fact that I submitted all this information that they requested and they still are questioning things that have nothing to do with my activity with this account. It is really frustrating and having to wait nearly 43 hours now for a response from them and was informed that when I asked to get an answer from their security department but right now it was "outside their business hours." They don't have anyone available to do anything right now about it so I have to wait an additional 15 hours until they get back? And what! If this happened on a Friday night I would have to wait until Monday morning THEIR TIME to have this resolved? Why would that be my concern about getting access to my account withdrawal resolved?!
Just PURE BULLSH!T FROM A SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL SPORTSBOOK! PREPOSTEROUS!

Much better to wait for sports bet responce. honsetly you are lucky today that you made a large profit..
And i think sports bet will not run with your funds because i think they are still running signature campaign with escrowed funds here and they are still reputative just like other said better to wait for their responce and maybe they are activating high withdrawal and change into manual withdrawals..

Now you have made a better choice, Directbet is always my first choice they don't have bullshit KYC policy also you don't have to wait for hours to get your balance updated. When game get settled you will receive your winnings in your bitcoin address directly, also their odds are pretty good.

i don't know why they needed to hold your winnings and let you just to keep playing what if you keep on winning? so it will added some time to keep holding just thinking about it because its only 1 btc and they needed personal info and like what i have read you keep playing from that site and you don't have any problem depositing your btc i still believe that they will take care of this mate. good luck

I also used to think sportsbet quite trustable till now, but after looking this thread and OP's problem i am quite upset of them. Why they need your personal details? Does 1BTC+ is bigger amount for them  

Oh they finally forced you to loss all your winnings in multiple parlay betting that is really sad to hear from reputable site.

That's pretty shady of them, knowing or hoping based on your history that you will get an itchy finger and end up risking your winnings on further bets, basically taking advantage of the gambling man.

Good move to go elsewhere and this thread should help to warn others to be careful with this sportsbook.

The site should be labelled as a scam and their license pulled from operating as a casino. PERIOD!

I have separated from all the bull sh*t that they are pulling that cost me something that is more valuable than that amount of bitcoin that was held by them in the account for the last 40+ hours now, and that is TIME!
Waste of words, waste of patience, waste of money and especially a HUGE WASTE OF MY TIME with them!
That is what pisses me off the most about this right now!

I have moved on and used DirectBet for the first time and it was just simple as putting in a bitcoin address where I would like my funds to be sent and that was it! None of this complete and utter bullsh*t with "Oh by the way, we need your identification to pay you now!" AFTER I FREAKING WIN AND HAVE OVER 1.15BTC IN MY ACCOUNT BALANCE!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!
WHO IN THE HELL PULLS THIS SH!T TO THEIR PAYING CUSTOMERS!
If I knew that they can deny a players winnings after they win with coming up with this farce of a operating of a casino sportsbook, then I would of placed my bets with another online sportsbook like DirectBet and not have to worry about about if my bet will win and on top of that having to worry about if it will even be paid after the fact.
Total failure of a sportsbook casino on all counts!

Such a reputed bitcoin gambling website never does such thing in a stupid manner. It might be due to technical issues, that they might be not able to recognize. For that reason might have informed that it can't be withdrawn. Soon assistance might be provided, they won't ruin their own hard earned reputation.

I guess they should not be like that, if you are there take a bonus on the site and you may not pass the rule is determined to make you pull your money or your winnings. congratulations on your winning,.

Wow congrats on your winnings. I really like seeing winnings, it makes me inspired to make my own luck by carefully choosing my bets and just be positive with it. I suggest just wait for it and wait until you could withdraw it. That's just a test of patience.

So basically the gambling site managed to get you to do what they wanted:

Stall you long enough to tempt you to bet again and lose your winnings.

A shame it happened, next time better be more patient.

Mate you should have waited a liitle more but I congratulate you on your bravery for this bet,if you won it would havnde been a truly huge profit.Congrats,I really hope that you will be able to end up in profit,maybe you can make a journey where we can follow your progress,I see that you have the potential to make sustainable profit but it depends on you if you want to do it,all the best

No Dont bet your 1 Btc we dont know what would be the result of the match you can lose or win but it depends on your decision if your gonna bet it or not , just wait until you can withdraw your winnings there might be a inconvenience happening to the site.

Too bad mate, you have no patience over your winnings. What made you think that they will not release the funds, they are just taking extra precaution as the amount you have won is a big amount. They will certainly not gonna destroy their name with just BTC1. Next time, always impose patience, you hit it once and I am pretty sure you are gonna hit it again.

I will say sorry for your loss, it happens but for me I would want to add that the site is equally an accomplice to this because they intentionally wanted you to lose because why would they deny you withdrawal in the first place? Also, if you had won the bet, the same barrier would have been placed on withdrawal until you played and lose after all. I suggest you stay away fro such site.

That's too bad for you man and I feel sorry about it. Of course they will now allow you to withdraw since you almost lost everything or should I say you already lost everything. Just don't gamble with them anymore and try to look some other sports book that will make your sports betting at its finest, this is shameful.

It seems that they held my funds just for this reason because as their review department that they had my account looked at by them knew that I was into taking high-risk bets from my previous parlays that I have done. And was counting on me putting it all on several parlays.

And to the others who are posting after my update post:
I lost the parlay with 1 bitcoin! So the 3 days of winning is over.
It wasn't so great while it lasted because I wasn't going to see that bitcoin anyways and now that my balance is next to zero they will say it is ok to do withdraws from the account. A little to late for that now isn't it?
