You said you deposited 0.3 ETH, which is approximately $500. I am trying to understand, how does the amount get to $5,000?

[...]

I am going to notify them about this scam accusation in their thread, and we see how they can solve this problem. Meanwhile, you can also send PM.

Winning? LOL.

Anyway, in all seriousness, I assume you've send them a PM notifying and inviting them here? On that case, I'll refrain from PMing them too to avoid flooding their inbox.

[...] I don't know if they are scamming OP here, but saying they are just impersonating "sportsbet.io" since 2018 is a little bit unfair IMO. 

I believe it's a small misunderstanding, DireWolf has no intention of harm, he just missed that there's a platform with a quite similar name to the one that's quite established, and he's just being cautious if that's an impersonating website.

Look at my signature.  See any coincidences?  Not one person on this forum has ever heard of sportbet dot one, so no, you were not recommended to that site by anyone here.  It's obviously an imposter site, attempting to scam would be clients of the legitimate casino in my signature.

Sorry for your loss, but you've been tricked by a scammer.
I wouldn't say it's a famous sportsbook but saying they are not known by anyone here is not right, they have an ANN thread here since 4 years and they have already sponsored few pools afaik, other guys from this thread seem to know them. It's one of the first decentralized sportsbook, maybe the first one actually, you can bet there without opening an account if you want, directly from your wallet, without any way to lock your funds unlike traditional bookmakers, if you use this feature. I don't know if they are scamming OP here, but saying they are just impersonating "sportsbet.io" since 2018 is a little bit unfair IMO.

I am not going to share the links of the threads here, but if you look around, there are so many scam accusation and complaints about that casino. I still don't understand how you ended up using their service?

Anyway, here is a start

They do you a thread and representative in this forum

Thread --> ⚽️ SportBet.one - decentralized sports-betting platform ⚽️
Representative --> SportBet.one

OP maybe you can PM the representative to explain what's going on, though they haven't been active for a while.

I am going to notify them about this scam accusation in their thread, and we see how they can solve this problem. Meanwhile, you can also send PM.

on their website, they show that they have a license, you can try to report a complaint against them to their licensor, just make sure you have evidence disproving their claims. regarding evidence, would you mind posting screenshots of the conversation you've had with their support? it's to give more context to the issue and to show what exactly the support and you have said. As for suing the online casino owner/s, I am not entirely sure if you can, but if you are serious about suing them it would be better to ask a lawyer for legal advice.

they have an ANN thread here in the forum and their representative seems to be posting and was also online yesterday, I've sent the representative a PM informing him about this thread, perhaps he is able to give more detail regarding the issue.

Thank you so much for the response.

Live chat has been disabled on my account - however I can still access LC when logged out and incognito (lol).

I didn't screenshot original chat but I have sent them an email, asking for a response, so I will update this thread when they reply.

I will also look into their license. Seems to be Mwali though, so not sure how much bearing complaining to them will have but still worth a try.

What I'd really like to do is to find out information about the owners and pursue them legally. I will get in touch with my local law firm on Monday and keep you guys posted.

What happened::
Hey BTC talk, first time poster here.

I've been lurking for a while and signed up to a few crypto casinos thanks to the lovely help from people on here. One such site recommended was the domain sportbet.one.

They had a welcome bonus to which i deposited 0.3 eth (around $500) and received 125% on top. I had to wager this X amount of times which I completed last night. It was almost exclusively done on the sports book, at their odds.

Today i woke up to find my bonus had been cancelled (after I'd wagered the required amount). I went on live chat and they said management had cited the following terms:
1. No minimal risk betting
2. No more than 1 account per person/Ip etc
3. No more than 1 bonus per person/Ip etc

I asked them what I'd actually done, and they just kept repeating the above. Apparently I've broken all of these terms!

Firsty, I don't even know what on earth minimal risk betting is. I was placing 1 bet on a match/game, then another on another game etc, so that is just outright false.

Secondly, I've never had an account with these guys as I was only made aware of them about a week ago.

Thirdly, it's convenient they waited for me to spin up my balance before cancelling the bonus fraudlently!

My ending balance was around $5,500, so they've stoled $5k USD from me for absolutely no reason. It's outright fraud.

Does anybody know what I can do in this situation? I know they are unregulated, but are there any means I can sue the owners? As I can't find any information on them anywhere but I'm willing to take this right until the end if so. This is actually a criminal offence.

Please, any help would be appreciated guys and gals!
