Notes: 29th September I placed a handful of bets. They won but were voided. Multiple books paid within hours. It took Betnomi a month to settle after lying "that the event didn't take place". Never could confirm the amounts were correct as bet status remained unavailable.

T&Cs state SOW requests for above $5000, mine was nowhere near. Sent a P&L slip from a UKGC licensed site anyway, but "gambling winnings are not a source of funds". Literally never seen anywhere say that. I don't have any other source listed in the terms.

My proof of address and ID was accepted though and shortly after, access from the UK was rescinded. That it was offered in the first place was a breach of licence ("the license holder is not authorized to offer its services in the territories of Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, France, Netherlands, Australia, UK, Spain, Saba, Statia, St Martin, USA - https://licensing.gaming-curacao.com/validator/?lh=21553d5c3ce834363384f6d90dca0bcf). Again, contrary to T&Cs, where they defer responsibility.

Have spent months waiting for an email from the Curacao regulator and they copied and pasted a post from here as an serious response. And months for a reply to The Pogg as a ADR, who had to drop the case as Betnomi stopped responding. The deposits by the way have been held all this time, not to mention the winnings.
