Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?
in Betting Forum ·
I figured I’d share my experience here—hopefully, this saves someone else from ending up in the exact mess I’m in right now.
After putting some money down on DraftKings and hitting a win of $360,
feeling pretty good about it, I requested a withdrawal about ten days ago.
Five days went by without a single word from them until I finally sent an email. They gave me some standard apology, promising they’d be in touch shortly. Then, the very next morning, my account was closed and the cash was gone.🤷
Here is their response when I demanded an explanation;
Thank you for your email dated October 8, 2008.
Our security department has reviewed your account and reached a decision to close it. Your account will not be reopened. For this same reason, it was not possible
to process the withdrawal of $360.00 (via Western Union).
Below are excerpts from our Terms and Conditions, which can be found on our help page under "Legal Provisions / Terms and Conditions / General Provisions / Data Processing":
"The company reserves the right to exclude any User from participating in the entire offering of International Business Machines without providing a reason."
So, there it is: they can shut down anyone's account and withhold the funds without giving a single reason. Watch yourselves—if you bother to look up reviews for this sportsbook on any betting forum, you'll see plenty of stories just like mine.
Stay far away from them; they won't pay you a single cent if it's over $10. If you want to actually gamble online, stick to Betfair or Pinnacle—they're the only reliable names in the game. Hopefully, this post helps someone out. That's
