"Normal service will be resumed shortly"
They wrote it 12 hours ago, nothing changed. Is this a A+ bookie?

I think I can live without my $5 limit there. I just had to say something because this is the only sportsbook I think sucks and I have tried about a dozen. Just my 2 cents.

Wow...still down for about 18 hours....one has to wonder if the Russian extortionists are behind this.
They missed taking late wagers on an England-Hungary friendly and the French Open matches, both big wagering opportunities for their UK clientel.
This could be a warning from the extortioners before the World Cup. Bet365 is pretty well run, and it is a bit staggering that they'd be down for such a long time.Last edited by Vladimir; 05-30-06 at 04:49 PM.

Welcome to the forum Vlad.
That's a chilling thought: extortionists. I haven't heard much about them in quite awhile.
Hopefully it's something more mundane.SBR Founder Join Date: 7/21/2005

Mystery solved ... they have a whole new website layout now.
Clearly, serious planning went into this.
When planning this, why did bet365 not 'plan' to tell the customers?
Very poor bet365 .. very poor.SBR Founder Join Date: 9/14/2005

New website eh? Must be all the money I have lost there, at £3.65 a time.

On second thought they probably still were able to do a fair amount of business for their UK customers through their shops.
I thought better of them than to have their site down for ~20 hours. These guys are cagey at, ahem, customer management, but I guess this doesn't extend to their IT department.

I do not know if it is loading for any of you now, but I just tried and it is loading fine for me.

They're down again. For the past few hours, and not so much as a page saying that there's technical difficulties. I'm not impressed with their new layout.

Bet365 = The realistic A+ classed, reliable , very good designed bookmaker, and they never will limit you!

Quite frankly its hard to set a limit if max is £3.65

I don't know why but I feel that SBR don't want to reduce this bookie. Has SBR been paid by bet $3.65 or what? Originally Posted by SquareShooter
