Sportsbet is obligated by law to check the identity of the depositors, therefore you have a clear claim.

However, only the Game Protect group is able to possibly get your illegally taken 36 BTC back.
You are like a leech trying to suck blood. The OP has been suffering from an addiction and is looking for some form of solution to what he cites as blame or partial blame on part of Sportsbet. What the OP does not need is any sort of false hope by falling prey to your scams.


I have done so thanks for your input

Hello,

I hope there can be some sort of positive outcome for the OP in this. It is great that you are looking in to this matter for what seems to be less than 12 hours after the thread was created. Thank you, it is great to see such proactive conduct when issues arise.


Addictions are tough, many people suffer with some form of bad habit or addiction. I feel a bit sorry for him, if he has a family & stuff he needs to sort his shit out for them & fast.

I’d suggest he seeks professional help for gambling rather than pursuing anything else. If he was using a VPN or Tor or something how the hell is anybody supposed to know he’s self excluded? I don’t know the legalities of it but surely if you self exclude an account to try & stop gambling but start a load of others then the only entity liable for it is yourself.

Like I said I don’t know the legalities of it but it’s fucking moronic either way, fix up OP.

Thanks for your brutal opinion, but I also agree with partly what you have said. It's ok I have tough skin, I am not here looking for sympathy.

Ultimately operators have a responsibility to their players, gambling is a real issue worldwide and most regulators have very strict guidelines for protecting players. Curacao maybe not so much, I am not sure at the moment.

One of my main points of taking this public is to raise awareness. The era of anonymous gambling is extremely dangerous to vulnerable players and ultimately is it even legal to be running a business which allows gambling of this level without asking the player any information? I can assure you it's not, it breaks pretty much every single money laundering rule ever. It certainly breaks the license that sportsbet.io operate under.
It cannot be doubted operators do have a responsibility to their users and it will be interesting to see what Sportsbet have to say about this. I have no doubt their algorithms would have picked up problem gamblers just as fast as they would have picked up fraudsters and scammers.

Steve from Sportsbet will definitely get back to you, give him some time to look in to the whole thing then kindly post here and update the thread so we can all be kept in the loop.
