What I’ll do next:
First, I’ll file a complaint with Curaçao eGaming. Of course, they probably won’t do anything, but I can also report the case to the Dutch Gambling Authority. Curaçao is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. We’ll see if they respond to that.
I will report the case to the European Consumer Centre (ECC-Net). From what I’ve found out, Sportsbet.io does not hold gambling licenses in EU countries and is violating general EU consumer protection laws (e.g., lack of transparency, deceptive practices).
I can also report the case to the European Commission and OLAF – the European Anti-Fraud Office.
I will also start contacting all the people who had issues with Sportsbet.io, there are hundreds of such cases online, which forms a strong basis to escalate the matter to Europol.
Let’s see if their actions will really pay off.
Well done, just like that. Fight these criminals.
