There is something strange going on with the number of complaints against Sportsbet increasing. I am looking forward to what Sportsbet have to add in this thread, we need some sort of clarity.
An exit-scam maybe?
I don't really want Sportsbet ending it all this way because too many hearts (including mine) will be broken if this happens. I don't know why there are no clarifications even in the previous threads made by other users, makes me worried. I don't have anything on sportsbet ATM but these things have created a scary situation where the most trusted casino is behaving shady.
Maybe this is just how they operate but now more users are posting their experiences public due to seeing other posts on google.
You might be on to something but there is a little bit more to this because when going to the sportsbet.io website from the UK the URL gets diverted to sportsbetio.uk and there are lots of terms and conditions they have to abide by including very strict UK laws with them being based in the Isle of Man.
The website "sportsbet.io" itself has largely nothing in protection for the end user with their organisation based in Curaçao "mBet Solutions NV (Kaya Richard J. Beaujon Z/N Landhuis Joonchi II Curaçao)" and states "It is licensed and regulated by the Government of Curaçao under the gaming license 1668/JAZ."
We all know a Curaçao licence is effectively a useless one that does nothing except give a false sense of legitimacy to any website that applies for it but Sportsbet are differentiating between "sportsbet.io" and "sportsbetio.uk"
Maybe sportsbet.io is under some government pressure since they have some big sponsorships and everybody has their eyes on them so they are trying to eliminate any kind of risk whenever possible. Just a possibility and a shitty one...
2 different companies, from my research sportsbetio.uk is a white label site that they license from a UK operator. They released this site as part of their Watford FC sponsorship, it does not accept bitcoin and is heavily regulated by the UK..
As for Sportsbet.io, well that’s a different matter.
