Here's a year old story about a sportsbetting.com stiffing
imagine this bs. me and my friends bet on the same soccer game and because they know we are friends from referring each other. they said we went over the soccer betting limit of $1100 and took away our sign up bonuses and the winnings from our soccer win. If we would have lost that soccer game we know they wouldnt have given us our money back. the OPA wont help us saying they only help in casino matters not sportsbooks. how dare this place say friends cant discuss what to wager on and if we each bet on the same thing since we are friends we went over the betting limit. Each person should be able to bet up to the $1100 limit as long as its not in the same house or related or anything. I hope i can get some help here or at least this placeon the not recommended list. These sportsbooks like Black Rhino think they can do whatever they want in order to not pay us. somehow we have to stop this.

Dear,
In response to your question about your account and your resent withdrawals.
We cannot pay your sign-up bonus due to fraudulent activity by you and
parties acting upon your explicit or implicit cooperation or
encouragement. In addition we cannot pay your winnings on the account
since you and your friends worked together to bet over our posted
betting limits. Keep in mind that we have a limit of $1,100 per soccer
bet; it is obvious that you and your friends worked together to go over
this limit and place $2,000 in bets on a single soccer game.
Please see below for portions of our Terms and Conditions that you
explicitly agreed to when you signed up.
We will also be closing your account and we ask that you do not join or
play in any REAL ENTERTAINMENT LTD managed, owned or affiliated casino /
sportsbook. If we do find that you are playing in our casinos /
sportsbooks we will not honor any bet you make and depending on the
circumstances we may not even pay back your initial deposit.
We appreciate your understand and cooperation in this matter.
Best Regards,
SPORTSBETTING.COM
