Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 3456096, member: 2107"] If you want dodgy practices .... A mate of mine created an account at SportsBet, deposited $1000 in to it and went about betting. A few months later he ends up with about $2000 in there, and decided he'd withdraw $1000 so at least that covered his original deposit, and he'd keep betting with the remaining $1000. SportsBet block his withdrawal, and say that they are refunding his original $1000 and closing his account. He asked why, and they said that he had deposited the initial $1000 in to his account via a source not in his name. Turns out he had used his wifes debit card to deposit, which he freely admitted to, but he didn't realise that was against the t&c's and if needed he could get his wife to sign something saying she was aware he used it and was ok with it. They said they didn't care, he had violated their t&c's and they were giving him the original money back and closing the account. End of story. You can't tell me that the instant he deposited that money, they wouldn't have known that it wasn't in his name (I'm guessing he would have even needed to put in his wifes name as the card holder as it wouldn't have even processed otherwise). Yet they let him keep betting until he attempts to withdraw. Something tells me had he lost his $1000, there wouldn't have even been a word said about it. They're all dodgy pricks. That's why I take great delight in taking money off them. [/QUOTE]
