My experience with sportsbet.io
7 days ago i deposited around 19$ and used their deposit bonus , put a parley 3 games, won around 425$ , proceded to try to wager with MLS , managed to complete it with around 525$ left , tried to withdraw around 500$ , cancled , got told to contact thro the mail , fair enough , they contact me back telling me i need to finish KYC and then i should contact them abck , fair enough kyc finished , replied to them , got told to wait up to 5 days. 2 days later i get a message that i broke some rule (which is like their full TOS somehow i broke one of them which i dont know which one but ill be transparent to my case i can show transactions/bets whatever) , they left iwth 19$ and told me to withdraw that so we can close your account. contacted later to tell them i cant even withdraw my balance as min is 20$ but i just got a message that "As a final exception, we ask you to log in to your account and settle the remaining balance. You will only be able to request a withdrawal, as the rest of the site functions are blocked. Once you have settled your balance, the account will be disabled permanently.

There will be no further correspondence regarding this matter."

is there something to be done? should i open a scam accusation or its a hopeless cause?

Did anyone notice Sportsbet started making some design changes on their website?
I noticed that when opening any match that I can still see other matches visible on the left side, and I like this.
Before this change I remember clearly whole page was taken with single match, and I had to go back if I wanted to selected different match.

Older users may be able to tell if the website design has changed because they have previous experience, but new users may not be able to tell if the website has changed. However, it is normal for the website design to change and for more updates to be brought in, as many people may or may not like the old design. For this reason, platform team members may consider various aspects and bring updates.

Oh boy! I guess they might be referring to the Curacao licensing authority hack recently by grey hat hacker Lilith who basically got access to their information over the course of several months. I believe Sportbet.io has a Curacao license which would explain the email.

This could be it; a lot of casinos are definitely going to be affected, if not all, and some will take it upon themselves to send out warning messages, while some won’t care.

I received same email from both brands

So our email are leaked 100%

Now they mention hacker may have our account details, the question is if that is limited to username/crypto transactions or includes personal data as well

You don’t have to assume which details were collected and which one was not affected; you just have to consider every file that has even been sent to the casino, including your logs. IP might be in the hands of the hacker. Everyone should be vigilant in case such information finds its way to the physical attackers' table.

Strange you got this so many hours ago while I got this email 3 minutes ago. I wonder what happened but it's good to see they are transparent about it.

Some people might not have even gotten theirs to date; this will be a bug mail sent out, and some will take time to arrive since the total number of players should be in millions, so I consider it normal if it arrives late to some players.

I want to be as neutral as possible !

What were your bets on Sportsbet like ,are screenshots possible of what you took??
Any possibility of arbitrage because that usually gets your account blocked on most of those platforms..

Have you tried to follow up on what exactly is the reason for them not to pay your profits or blocking your account?

Your only choice is to file a scam accusation if you are confident that you didn’t violate the casino ToS. You bet history seems like normal to me as it’s a 3 leg parlay bet that won with good odds and low bet.

I hope they will an active representative again here like before that deal an issue like this.

For the meantime, go to scam accusation and perhaps tag @holydarkness to help you with the case.

You didn't say what part of T&C you are allegedly violating. Nobody can answer your question without that. If you used VPN and georestricted promo there is no way you are getting anything and that is combo I have seen on Sportsbet before. They have georestricted promos, me in Europe (CL) and person in Asia (cricket) will get different ones. You can collect both with VPN but triggers checks and you are out for sure.

There are changes to the UI on Sportsbet, I like some of them like this one you mentioned. I hate some others like new betting ticket. It doesn't have all the options old one had and is just clunky. Already told that to live support so I am hoping they will do some more updates on it.


We are still trying to get a SB representative to be active here regularly. I am betting on Sportsbet for a long time so I can help with some stuff but I can't answer things that official representative can. Everything I wrote in this thread so far is my opinion as gambler there, not official Sportsbet stance on anything.

@logfiles, it's not necessarily that. Even if you play it so safe, it might still end up losing. Imagine my last free bet ended in a loss in a matter of seconds. The referee blew the final whistle a few seconds after Cody Gakpo delivered the equalizer that prevented me from winning.

The Netherlands isn't so much of an underdog against Germany, betting on a straight win actually isn't the safest option in my opinion.

I hear that a lot, that this or what is not the safest option, and it's easier to say just because it lost, but in reality, the winning chance for most options with reasonable odds in such an example is so slim. I entered that match when Germany was already already +1, thinking they could defend it, and they held it till the very last seconds, which could have won if fate allows it. I am sure that it wouldn't be the same story if it played differently, and "Both Teams to Score" might have lost too. Even what many people deemed very safe (over 2.5) lost. After all, it is betting.

Japan, where I live, unfortunately is geo restricted as well, so I gotta use a VPN to access the site. I don't ever participate in georestricted promos though, so hopefully I am not gonna have any issue here. I mean I did use my Japanese ID for the KYC check, and it got accepted, so I just assume it's gonna be cool (crossing fingers).

7 days ago i deposited around 19$ and used their deposit bonus ,

I just registered in the casino so I will  not have much knowledge on this but I am looking at it from this angle. You would have used your main deposit to play games instead of the bonus and it is after your deposit has been exhausted then you would have used the bonus and probably you wouldn't have this issue.

2 days later i get a message that i broke some rule (which is like their full TOS somehow i broke one of them which i dont know which one but ill be transparent to my case i can show transactions/bets whatever) ,

They would have told you which of the rules you have violated for clear understanding and avoid drama. This mere statement of you broke one of the ToS without telling the person of the violated rule is not nice.

is there something to be done? should i open a scam accusation or its a hopeless cause?

I don't think opening Scam Accusation will solve this case. Since they said you should withdraw the funds and the minimum withdrawal is $20. And what Trofo said might be true. Op did you used VPN? They can't just flag your account because you won from bonus and was trying to withdraw from it. Something must have triggered it.

This week is coming to an end, the match between the legend and the mega star will soon meet on the field. Norway has Haaland, and Portugal has Ronaldo, this will be a very exciting match, but I believe Haaland will break through Portugal's defense.

by the way i can't use my price boss in this match, are the odds too high?

I would like to see that very much, and someone needs to control what is being posted in this topic, to avoid and reduce getting many low quality posts written.

Guys this is a good time to suggest anything to Sportsbet guys either in forum or with website support chat, since they are making design changes.
If you dont like something, or you think they should make changes, you should write them now.

Too bad you bet lost because surprisingly Portugal managed to escape with a win from Norway, didn't expect that to happen. Another surprise was that Ronaldo didn't play one minute despite the news before the game he would play. Guess that will piss him off real good, we all know his ego. I feel it really is time for him to hang it up. Not only because of his sub par performances in the national team lately but also the kind of disrespect he receives from the Portugal coach and also media.

He calls for that disrespect himself by disrespecting his teammates and his coach. Also the fans - as it was the case now after their victory.
He was class, he's not anymore, he's on a one-way road of hurting his legacy. He should have smarter representatives around him.

If he accepted a role of seniority and guidance, he'd be loved and carried in that team for 3 more years. He still thinks he's the main man there - which is totally absurd.

Ronaldo attitude and reaction are very bad and unacceptable because he is a very old player now, at his 41 year-old, and with his role as a captain of Portuguese national team. It only makes remaining time of his career in national team worse if he decides to continue and it's big challenge for any head coach of that team. Cristiano Ronaldo still has ability to contribute for the team but no longer as he was years ago when he was much younger, stronger and more goal productive.

If he can accept a position on the bench, and a role of substitution, it will be better for the team, the coach, his teammates and surely for himself but he seems to refuse to do so.

It's bad, I am neither a fan or anti-fan of Cristiano, I still see it's very bad.

[EarnOnVictor]

Norway has Haaland, and Portugal has Ronaldo, this will be a very exciting match, but I believe Haaland will break through Portugal's defense.

Unfortunately, C. Ronaldo was benched throughout the match, but Haaland indeed broke the defense of Portugal as you predicted, though only once, and it couldn't cover up for the two goals delivered by the opponent.

are the odds too high?

The 2.40 odds for that game was not too much despite Portugal winning the game, and you could see that Norway commanded the field. Norway could be better if they find another striker as good as Haaland. That could have pressure the defence of Portugal better.

Still, betting 1x2 on such a close call match is not the best option, as 2.5 total could have delivered you the winning pretty easily.

Am a CR7 fan myself and he definitely acted like a dumb spoiled child here for sure which is nothing new for him since he's been doing this sort of stuff throughout his career, but he will always be the main man for Portugal thanks to his insane popularity.

Let's be real. Most football viewers globally watch Argentina matches for Messi and Portugal matches for Ronaldo despite them acting like babies regularly. Both of them will always have way, way more fans than haters unless they commit career suicide or something.

Cristiano Ronaldo has the best of his career already, he shouldn’t be caught up involving himself in this act before he finally retires from football. He should learn to control that ego, he’s not the only player hailed during his prime and the other one don’t get as boastful as him in many circumstances we see him in to be in such act. He should be retiring as a hero that many will miss, and not be remembered for his ego despite winning the love of many all over the world. I also think he should be preparing to hang his boot and let the national team take its course on their own henceforth.

I wish Ronaldo can leave football before it leaves him completely, keep aside his pride and how he feels about himself, that confidence was what brought him this far, he didn’t just say most times, he played and won conquered, went head to head against Messi, something we don’t see average players do.

When it comes to international duties, Ronaldo is done, he can’t do much for the country to recognize, he had given his best shot, and I’m sure the fans will always remember, but now is the time to let go, what he has left is what’s remaining to take him to 1000 goals, and his national team mates are not any help to him reaching such target.

That 1000 goals tally is definitely on his cards, and already this season goals seem to have slowed down for him which isn't looking good, at this point if he wants the goals best he plays in the lower league maybe say some Portuguese  tier 2 to farm the goals and history will remember him for that 

But for his international duty, it's over. Messi his nemesis closed the international chapter and needs to follow suit.
