Sportsbet.io - Special Annoucement due Thursday.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Sportsbet.io sent an email promoting a $500 “free bet” offer. Be cautious its scam, if you win and withdraw they are going to remove the balance..

If you don't mind can you share screenshot of the email? Like the subject line, promo details and the terms and conditions of the freebet?
I didn't receive that email from sportsbet.io. The only email I received was around the time their social media accounts (X and Discord) came back online and it was a regular promotional email not a $500 freebet offer.
It would be helpful to see the exact conditions of the freebet before concluding that it's a scam. The terms attached to the promotion may explain why balances were adjusted or removed after withdrawal attempts.

If it relates to the World Cup quarter-finals I get a similar email but your observation is observant because freebets don't come for free because we have to make a minimum deposit of $50 to stand a chance of getting a freebet of $50 but that's with a waggering requirement of x10.



If this is the similar email to the one received by Fixelifix (although the nominal is different) it is likely just a regular promotion not leading to scam.

I just deposited a small amount and won $500 and it was possible to withdraw.

I am not sure if Steve is around anymore since he is no longer with Sportsbet,

But wishing you a Happy Birthday, Steve!

I hope you are enjoying yourself with your family.

I guess it's okay for me to mention this since it was publicly announced that Steve is now with Jackpotter.com.

And yes, he's still around and active in other threads. He's also active on discord. I actually found out that today is his birthday because of his telegram. Look at this screenshot.

While Sportsbet has been abandoned even though this site is still operating, still the management changes have greatly affected it.

This situation once again shows just how important marketing is here. I used to bet a lot on Sportsbet, but now I don't even think about opening that site. There are many new sites and I prefer them. Sites that ignore Bitcointalk have very little chance of success. There may not be a huge number of users here, but there are a lot of people reading and most of the bettors here are high profile users. I'm sure losing such a market has had a negative impact on Sportsbet, but it was their choice.

It is interesting to see the experience you shared earlier, there was doubt about the free bet promo but the withdrawal actually worked out fine. What made that opinion change?

Some people may still think this site is good for betting, but some members here are not so interested anymore because the promo is not as good as before. In the past, many people played here mainly because there were a lot of promos and the community was solid. It is true that good marketing helps bring new players and keep old ones playing. But since their market is not only on this forum, this may not be a big problem for their whole business.

That being said, sportsbet.io never really shut down, been using them this whole time without problems.

[Forsyth Jones]

Happy to see you back here after some time (a 1-year break?).

I hope to see you around for a long time to come, sharing promotions and other interesting things.

I'm also happy to see that you've brought back the sig campaign.

What made you decide to start doing promotions again on the forum? I'm eager to hear that from you.

Sportsbet is a very big platform for sportsbook with many big clubs as their sponsors. And they have been promoting themselves on this forum for a long time and at one time they were very famous on this forum. Maybe they left the forum due to some internal problems. But their comeback is really commendable. I have read the details of their signature campaign and as far as I understand they are going to launch a long-term campaign again and start their long-term journey on this forum again. Welcome and good luck to them

They can come back all they want but i will never use them again and highly advise everyone not to as well

When they decided to shut down they did not payout promos that were already finished and won rightfully. I was owed around 100 usdt freebet and never got it.

They basically told me to kick rocks, as they were shutting down anyway and dont care about reputation

Well now they are back, and who knows when they decide to shut down again and dont pay people?

Maybe others had different experience but i essentially got scammed

They did me very dirty IMO. I will post their emails soon from that time as soon as i am on pc

Do other members think its okay to trust a company that can decide to shutdown any time and decide they dont need to pay already owed promotion prizes?

I'm happy to see one of the oldest crypto sportsbook return to the forum. I felt bad when they announced their exit from the forum but seeing them back in full force brings so much joy. I knew about this company through their sponsorship of football clubs such as Hull City, Newcastle,  Southampton among others, a long time before I joined this forum and saw them very active here. Wishing them more success than they have ever had in this forum.

Careful people. This is most definitely not the epic Sportsbet.io that we all knew and once loved in this forum. Their whole restructuring decision was wild and understandable considering their falling revenue, but the manner of execution was really poor.

Their current Trustpilot rating is 1.2(200+ reviews) which is low even for an unreliable site like Trustpilot and this isn't even considering the plethora of scam accusations against them in this forum and elsewhere. Think!

Thankyou!!

I am surprised why and how people are excited over this?!?!

Seems most of them do not know or care how sportsbet treated their years old customers when they thought they were leaving crypto gambling for good.

And that was the OG management, who knows who are behind this brand now, and how much they can be trusted

What did they do to their old customers? I am out of the loop about that

I saw the new signature campaign and I was happy that Sportsbet was back because I remember playing in them when they had some deposit promotions

I just joined here, and made a small deposit because they were having a signature campaign I immediately trusted them, from bad thoughts let's give them a little time to recover their reputation, I'm sure there will be improvements made and that's one of the reasons they are back on the forum

[Rikafip]

It's hard to take you seriously because just a few hours after this statement (and some quite harsh words) you decided to apply for their signature campaign. GG

Yeah, noticed that too... 
Advised people to not play there but still want to advertise the same product. Quite strange and it doesn't make any sense.

I've never had any issue all the years of using SB, they only left the forum but their services never went down for a second. Welcome back SB!!!

Sportsbet.io was one of the oldest and well known sports bookmakers casino that venture into the cryptocurrency gambling community during the early days. It was truly shocking and disappointing when they made an sudden announcement that they will be leaving from the forum after a new management team had taken over Sportsbet.io.

Now that they have returned once again to the forum, hopefully Sportsbet.io could continue to maintain the good reputation which every one of their previous team members who had put in their best efforts and time to build up over the years. It was also great to see that Sportsbet.io had started a signature campaign with their returns to the forum as this will surely boost up their presence once again in the gambling community.

And lastly, a warm welcome back to the forum Sportsbet.io

Great to see Sportsbet.io back on the forum. I was really surprised when I saw the new signature campaign topic.
Do you know if Steve will become active again? The topic title needs to be changed, and he is the only one who can do it.

I am surprised that despite all the negative reservations you have against sportsbet.io, you still went ahead and applied for their signature campaign. Who does that? 
Why would you want to advertise a service that you do not trust?
If I were Trofo and cryptofrka, I would take note of such individuals,

It was one thing if they never came back, but now i am pissed
