TIME TO DUMP CANBET?

exilarch · Jun 1, 2004

For several years now, Canbet has been my favorite out. Now, however, I have not been able to log on to their website. Also, their telephones do not work for me. I have contacted Canbet about these problems, but they seem to be in a state of denial, and say that both their phones and website are working fine. I think that it is time to dump Canbet. Is anybody else having these sort of problems with Canbet, and will they cause you to look elsewhere? When I need a balance for my account, I have been reduced to e-mailing Canbet to get my balance, and of course I cannot enter a bet.

I tried to bet a hockey total there a few days ago and my limits have been cut to $20. It's going the way of Bet 365. Too bad because it used to be one of my favourite books and it was second only to Pinnacle for my hockey betting.

I think they should be called can't bet.

I have something like a $25 limit on halftime totals.

Thanks Can't Bet!

You would htink they are booking the bets out of the Customer Service agents pocket with limits like that. Even if you lose 10 in a row that is only $250 into their fund.. how do you manage a book with no capital?

they have gone defensive since they lost money overall in 2003. The website can be erratic lately, but I have been fine now for about a week in getting bets on & making withdrawals.

It is worth remembering that they have 2 addresses:

canbet.com
canbet.co.uk

I find that if one is down for me, almost always I can sign in at the other.

It is very hit and miss, but placed a few bets there in the last week. They have had some pretty favorable pricing actually with lots of extra half points so I am leery about letting them go. Just keeping a very low balance for now.
