Default Scammed by Bet Who

I made a deposit at Bet Who and received a bonus and started betting to fulfill their wager requirements. After I made about 8 bets I called in and asked if I had met the requirements. John the manager at Bet Who told me that pyramid betting is not allowed and he told me I was still $1,000 short for meeting my wager requirements and said if I made two more bets of $500 I would be finished wager requirements. I apologized for the pyramid bets and I thought everything was ok. I made two more bets and was within $200 of meeting wager requirements when my account was locked. I contacted John and he said they are closing my account because of pyramid betting and he called me a sharp player. I am by no means a sharp player with my winning percentage sucking this year at below 50% but at Bet Who I had more wins then losses.

John said they would be closing my account and only paying me half of my winnings. This was totally unfair because if I didn’t make these bets with Bet Who I would have made them elsewhere and would have collected my winnings. Why would John advise me to make two more bets if he knew he was going to close my account?

I would advise avoiding Bet Who if you cannot trust what the manager tells you. Also if they use that “sharp” rule as a way of stealing your winnings then they are truly unethical. Also you should check out their payout methods. I deal with Neteller and they will only refund to Neteller what you paid in with a 4% charge. Neteller only charges them 3%. Then they will only send the rest via Western Union at a $1,000 max with a $75 charge. I know Western Union charge less then half that for sending $1,000. If you have any winnings at Bet Who and they don’t label you a sharp player and steal them then they will claw back as much of your winnings as they can with their high payout charges.

Bet Who should be an F- (SCAM)

I heard about this book a while back as they were a new book from platinumsb. Sounds like they offered a 100 for 100 deposit and got hammered on it. He probably hoped that if you bet $500 more twice you would lose.

I agree stay away!
