Title: ggbook.eu investor has stolen customer funds. investor also part of betballer.co
Post by: guala on July 22, 2017, 09:05:28 AM
Hi,

I am surprised this hasn't been posted here yet.

One of the investors (John Flynn) of ggbook.eu has stolen customer funds, said to be around 21 BTC. ggbook was apparently in debt and the investors were not willing to pay up.
John Flynn is the owner of HSB Sportsbook. HSB Sportsbook happens to also run betballer.com.

 This is a post from reddit.com/r/sportsbook (https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/6lbvze/ggbookeu_has_stolen_customer_funds_two_moderators/)

Below is the reddit post:

ggbook.eu is no longer accepting customers on their site. It appears that betballer.com is somewhat involved and I'd like users here to take extreme caution in depositing to either website.

The main founder has apparently stolen BTC (http://imgur.com/o1TNtXb) from the website, most of the site's funds, the point that it is no longer able to operate.
According to this website (https://www.vipsportsbook.eu/aboutvip), both ggbook.eu and betballer.com are owned by HSB Sportsbook (http://imgur.com/PSGCsPL) - as is that website (http://imgur.com/i708Hgc), apparently.

It appears HSB Sportsbook is owned by John Flynn (http://www.solocheck.ie/Irish-Company/Hsb-Sportsbook-Limited-582650#report-1) - screenshot (http://imgur.com/SHrxDby) - but I don't like the fact that this site is being frequently updated (http://imgur.com/sbXeC7F)

As I can see it, I'd be very upset if I were profitable on ggbook.eu, and I'd be very concerned if I had deposited on betballer.com.

BetBaller's 'About Us' (http://betballer.com/about-us) section specifically mentions the fact that GGBook is one of their partners under HSB Sportsbooks - and they even refer to it as BetBaller GGBook (http://imgur.com/Z3Kfb93). BetBaller operates out of Dublin (http://imgur.com/Pmnb0mW).


Their link to HSB Sportsbook (http://www.hsbsportsbook.com/) partners no longer works.

They also link to BetBaller John Flynn Bookmakers (https://www.johnflynnbookmakers.eu/) which apparently focuses on horseracing. They also operate out of Dublin (http://imgur.com/anpKb8G) - phone.

EDIT: VIPSportsbooks.eu no longer works
EDIT: 2 - John Flynn has removed his Linked In (Google search result)


I would highly suggest withdrawing any funds from Betballer and using a more reputable sportsbook.

I used to play here when they were still flutterclub.com , I stopped using it and then decided to try them out again today only to see that they have changed their name and re branded. There are also scam accusations being thrown at one of the owners. can anyone using the new website confirm if these allegations are true? were resolved, and if it is safe to deposit here? I see that they aare give a 50 euro deposit bonus to new accounts.
