An agent is no where to be found.

Today I witness something very strange in the area where I live recently. There was a gambling shop that was not too far from where I am staying, so every day different gamblers visit the shop to bet on games, some win and some don't win a dime.

So, yesterday afternoon, a man bet on a midnight game and the game played accordingly as predicted, but the surprising thing was that the betting agent ran away with the money the man won, and the betting agent is no where to be found.

However, I am here to say these are the reasons why it is not always good to gamble in a betting agent's shop, because if the manager of the shop does not run with the money a gambler wins, then one of the workers in the betting shop might run away with the money someone wins, so I do conclude that an online gambling site with good reputation is the best for gambler, so what do you guys have to say about this?.

[Cantsay]

Online gambling sites still have the probability of holding bettors funds for one reason or another, so to me this does not seem like a solid reason why users should start using online gambling site.

And since no one was able to get in touch with that agent it’s very possible that the reason why he’s gone into hiding is different from that, so unless he’s found and he confessed that he truly had to hid because of the money then I will take this thread with a grain of salt.

I do think it's a good idea though, not everyone would like to gamble online just like we do here on the forum. A lot of people prefer traditional gambling as they feel more comfortable playing offline. There's no guarantee that even the online gambling sites won't do away with you money, so how every you choose to gamble, you have to be smart and use a more reliable medium to play. Most of local bet shops these days, don't pay in cash but funds you using bank transfer using your betting slip so I don't think the situation is common. But still we should be bet wisely.

Chase that agent company as they are the one liable for your losses and they have to give you what you’ve won. It’s too risky to gamble on this kind of agent casino, better to check first if they are a legit business before you gamble. That win can be big, and hopefully that gambler get the money he deserved. If you are doubtful about any small casinos, better not to gamble that much and just gamble online with the best site with this, it can give you an assurance that you will get money when you win and the good site will not run.

Nah, that case doesn't have to do with online gambling being the best for most gamblers. We can't generalize that physical betting is not the best to consider for most gamblers as both have pros and cons and gamblers have different considerations.

That story of yours might be an isolated case or that gambling shop is not a registered business.

I don't find any advantage of the owner running away since if the business is legit, they have the ability to cover all the winnings and since they are registered, running away does mean the owners just put a danger on their name of being a wanter person.

If the said business is not registered or legit, then I think the obvious ones to blame on that story are the gamblers themselves.

Any dealing or transactions with having those  intermediary will really be always have the risks for those money to be ran away and this is something the risks.This is why if you do have plans on trying to gamble or make out some betting then it would be always better that you should really be making those direct transactions rather than on making yourself that involved with this kind of option on which
its never been that recommendable on doing so and you are really just putting up yourself onto such condition that those huge winnings would really be ran away and in result then the site you are dealing will unlikely be patching up the money that had been ran away just because they had already paid up and it is really just that the agent did make out such move.

In result? There's nothing you can do but cry and file up some complaints if ever you do know such information legally but in regarding on such situation then this would be that
somewhat pointless yet there's no way about on retreiving those amounts back and this is something that most likely to happen. Therefore, dont make yourself that
hopeful but as much as possible as long you could see some leads then its not that bad to take up some actions.

Well, it is not every gambler that will play online, some gamblers will keep placing bets in physical casinos and bet places until they stop gambling. For these people, their preference to gambling is not gambling online and some of these kind of people are even on this forum. How can these people avoid being in that kind of problem? Play and gamble only in physical Casino's where you can see evidence from set up that they will not be tempted to cheat you of your money when it is not the biggest money they have successfully paid out.

[Johnyz]

A reputable gambling site can at least give you an assurance but still it is not guaranteed since they can also run away and take your money as well so better not to be complacent about it.

What happened to that gambler? Is he filling charges against that agent and still hoping for his money?
Too bad if the agent becomes greedy and run away with your winnings, maybe that business is not doing good and can’t pay the big wins from the gambler. If you know this kind of businesses make sure to know who’s the owner so you can file a case agains him.

[dothebeats]

Go to the office of that agent, or to the office of which gambling entity he is affiliated. Tell them what happened and present evidences that the agent ran away with the winnings. Worst case that could happen is they tell you that they'll speak with the man and never heard from them again, but it's still worth the shot. Your friend must be very pissed after what happened, and I know I am too. I hope this becomes a lesson to your friend, that he needs to play on reputable sites instead of some pop-up gambling shops that seems sketchy at best.

One thing people should do well to remember is that on the outside a business may look to be completely legitimate, however if you were to really investigate more about it you will find out that it was not, so the people behind it can run away with your money and you will not have too many tools at your disposal to use against it, and while I hope this person is able to get the winnings he deserves, I do not think this is likely at all taking into account the details about this case.

Its good reasons to start questioning gambling centeres because these incidents have happen repeatedly on severe occasions. Some gamblers never believed this story until they experienced it themselves and trust me, it would be one of the most touchable and tragic moment in their life's. Playing gambling for life is an unwise decision which will see us to our early graves. Funny how your narrative story turns out to end, a gambling worker flee away with customer's winnings, it would definitely be a good reason why the worker flee because he or she might have never see such figures before or he or she is in debts that needs to be pay off.

[letteredhub]

This is an experience I have witnessed twice this year from different betshop agents too in my locality and it's like it's becoming a trend among gambling shop agents to elope with gamblers huge winning as a means to escape poverty and start a new life somewhere. Due to this in avoiding this disaster I only gamble at mega gambling agent shops cause it's obvious that it's those small gambling shops that these agents acts in this manner, more like a predetermined act that made them to register as agents to gambling companies in the country.

Aside making bets in mega shops I think people should also avoid placing bets with huge potential amount of winning in betshops, the can manage to do so with bet of no significant amount to be won but when it comes to huge amount online gambling with a reputable gambling site or casino/sportbetting company is the safe place for that.

If the gambler have his winning ticket   then he can approach the casino office I your neighbourhood to claim his winning,  because for as much as I know is that the casino agent can not run away with the money and if that is his thought then he should be the dumbest dude ever,  for god sake how can you run with casino money where there already have all you details to start with.

In most cases,  there have been a lot of controversies as to what and how these games are played out and paid out, because the winning may still be with the casino itself until the winner comes with the right ticket to claim the reward, and a lot of times,  it does seem that they the agent get caught up along the line.

An isolated case in mu opinion but I do wonder what kind of game it is ‘coz there’s a schedule for that game. Also, since this is a landbased casino, or the agent is more likely affiliated with a casino, then the player could just go directly to it concerning agent’s misconduct. If it is comparison between landbased and gambling sites even with good reputation, gambling sites could turn to a fraud if they would want to especially for a really huge amount, with ease. Think of how many online casinos are being acused and reported as fraudalent; reason is not all online platforms are registered to any government, making it easy for people behind it to hide their identity. Given that both has risks for the same concern, we just cannot help its occurence so better be preventive of the amount you would engage to any platform.

[Casdinyard]

That's why I don't trust agents like that. They're a common sight in my country's online and land-based casino scene and more often than not they do more damage than help. A lot of them don't have the integrity to give winners their appropriate prizes even though they're already earning a buttload of money from the referral commissions that they earn from the people. Classic greed mechanics.

In my opinion just stick to what we've been accustomed to my friend, don't reinvent the wheel and risk losing your money and your trust in the casino business. Just play on your own and play on gambling sites with no intermediaries.

Online gambling is still the best but they still have their own deficiencies  too, because most times you have to do a lot of verifications and kyc before you can actually touch your money after winning a bet. But I think is the most effective, because your money will be credited your bet account easily and to to agent account.
But this particular incident you are describing, I'm trying to understand.
 is it that the money that was won by the person that placed the bet was credited into the betting agent account, if that is the case, the original winner of the bet can take up the matter to the betting company direct with his bet ticket, I believe the bet company will do something about it.

The gambler use the gambling sites to hold their funds for the longer period,because the gambling site was the safer one to hold the money which you kept for the gambling.And you no need to use to pay more fee for the transaction or deposit of dollars to the gambling sites all the time.The gambler can use the gambling site without using the agent for the gambling.In the ancient days the gambler use the agent for the gambling and agent for the trading.Now the transaction was very straight one,the gambler can do the gambling by the direct interaction with the gambling site.So no money need to pay as the commission to the gambling.

Especially in the evolution of sports betting today, online sportsbooks nowadays are the only good option, providing the flexibility to place bets at your convenience with a many options and features, better safety, and the comfort of doing it from home while watching the game. Beside that payouts of your winnings are made almost instantly. I don’t understand why some people still opt for traditional betting methods knowing the high possibility of having issues, mistakes or even face scam for one bet.

This story you shared is a lesson for that player who placed trust in that agent, and I bet that the odds he offered him were so low compared to sportsbook. I doubt that this guy is aware of online casinos that offer live betting otherwise the events that agent is offering might not be listed in sportsbooks? For someone who knows everything and still continues to bet the old way, it’s a madness.

[Accardo]

I may need clarifications on this. Does it mean the customer can't withdraw directly from the betting website. Where they booked games. Is the agent affiliated to their payments? Agents work for the website. Players can easily stake games online with their gadgets. And avoid these agents. It's really a sad regular story. Lots of players keep having problems with the agent not having sufficient money to pay their wins. Despite being credited by the betting company. I don't understand why people use the betting agent to stake game. And not prefer gambling completely online. No where is safe for gamblers. Similar kind of problem we always see about online casinos ripping player's money. The offline agents doing such thing are meddling with their reputations. Because people will never patronize them again. And he'll also lose out lots of profits as a result of not being punctual to work. By running from his customers.

The owner of the shop is the agent, I guess. But, he is affiliated to the company. Knowing the owner of the company is quite difficult. They can be known by their online profiles, but seeing them in real life would be hard. Gambling consists of a lot of players who you cannot trust. Even the owner, agent or follow gamblers. Most of them need fast money. That's why we seen series of bad stories tagged to gambling. The best for players is to stake carefully and not trust so much any agent or platform with our wins.

Yes, it’s actually more risky to trust online gambling sites than to bet at a physical betting shop wherein you will personally meet the owner of the shop. At least, you know that shop has no ghost manager, unlike most of the online gambling sites that are only using random names to act as their gambling consultant or manager that we don’t even know if those people really exist or not. And because of that, our funds will be put at a high risk as they can hold it or run it anytime especially if we are winning at a consistent basis.
