Default sportsinteraction.com are still pure scammers

Of course under much warning i was stupid enough to go ahead and trust these morons and open an account.I am not looking for sympathy i am just wanting to warn people that this place is still run by cheats and scammers who also dabble in the theft industry.I deposited 500 in the last week and just today i went to log in and what do you know i of course could not.I had just won my first parlay there yesterday and had a 400$ win riding on the seahawks winning outright tonight on another parlay.I contacted live chat and was told that "usemybank" contacted them to suspend my account.What for i do not know.I then went to my bank online and saw that one deposit for 75$ was takin out of my bank 3 times by "usemybank" that thank go got straightened out very quik by my bank.So the way i see it "usemybank" and sportsinteraction are scammers "usemybank" i look past since i use them all the time for casinos and have never had a problem,however sportsinteraction is nothing but problems.Beware my fellow bettors beware.Sportsinteraction is nothing but a joke and if you deposit there sooner rather than later you will also get scammed and thieved upon.


GIVE ME A YEAH PINNACLE.

im sorry for you situation kass.

if anyone is thinking about signing up with sportsinteration it is in your best interest to use neteller.

other methods seem to open up the doors to potential problems and as gamblers we should limit any more bullshit than we already have to deal with.

ive been there 2.5 years and have never had a problem including a withdrawal of 2500 last week paid on time thru neteller.

From what I can piece together from the opening post, the poster did the equivalent of bouncing a check to SIA. He insists he didn’t do it on purpose, that it was the fault of some middleman outfit called “usemybank,” and that ultimately he and his bank were able to clear things up. In the interim, SIA voided his bets due to the bounced e-check.

Not sure without knowing all the details if SIA was wholly in the right here, but somehow I don’t think what’s been stated establishes that they are “cheats and scammers who also dabble in the theft industry.”

I bet a ton of money with SIA from 2002-mid 2005. The only problems I had were C/S and their personal banking system (forget the name). When I got out of Neteller I haven't re-up w/them. But I always got paid.

Was having trouble follow what actually happen, but TLD's version sounds correct.

You are welcome to email us at Assistance@sportsbookreview.com and we can look into it. Bounced checks can't be honored by books or else fraud would be even higher. But if SIA really was what caused the bounce that would be another issue.

SIA is certainly not a total or otherwise scam book.

I think maybe i didn't state this clear enough.This "usemybank" tryed to withdraw three times from my account , however two were returned to my account 1 was paid to "si" so there was no bouncing of any payments which would have voided my bets.Further more we are not talking a voided bet we are talking about them closing my account and taking MY money.The previous 500$ was not in question just this "questionable" tactic from usemybank.Why was there no email first or telephone call to find out from my side?They didn't have a problem taking my first 500$.They are just listeneing to "usemybank" or some other b.s is going on.Whatever the case may be they are still screwing me over as i did nothing wrong.As for the person that got paid all this big money maybe your part of there tribe or your the lucky 1 in 1000th cutomer that they decide not to **** over.Either way this is just another scam from there site.You can use this info as just another warning about this bogus site.

I have personally made a withdrawl request from SIA about 10 days ago. I have sent all the documents that they have asked for, emailed them so many times, but i have never gotten a solid reply as to what has happened with my withdrawl request.

The strangest thing is that i got an email confirming the withdrawl has been processed and sent to my bank account via wire transfer, but 2 days later i get an email from them saying they still needed proof of address??? Later when i asked Customer service about the email that i got confirming the withdrawl, and that is has indeed been processed, they said they had no evidense of such a transaction or such an email, and i had to forward the email that THEY themselves sent me, confirming the withdrawl. I am still waiting for their reply. And if i call them once a day, they get so pissed at me, and and tell me that i have to wait until they contact me, which will probably take 15 days. I will definetley not be using SIA anymore.

Yet more complaints filed against SIA today.

Quote:
12/7/2006 8:10:00 AM
Player Complaint: SportsInteraction SPORTSINTERACTION (SBR rating C-) cancels wager after event begins; does not alert player. Bettor tells SBR that he watched an entire NBA game rooting for his team, the Phoenix Suns at +4. After the event was over he found that the winning bet was void due to a "bookmaker error." The bettor is upset that: 1) He did not receive a time-stamped email showing when SIA canceled the bet, and; 2) The book had the luxury of viewing the match in play. Players who compare sportsbook odds were aware of the market price and that the line was erroneously reversed. Sports Interaction claims the bet was canceled 7 minutes after post time and tells SBR they plan to email players when wagers are canceled in the future.

As it looks like this is going to turn into a linching of the guy who placed a bet on a 'bad ' line I thought I would get my comments in first.
Yesterday (havent checked today) C Bet365 Pinnacle and Cris all A+ books were quoting lines on NFL futures where some of the teams quoted had already been eliminated.
Are these bad lines ?

Very good post, good question.

Those teams obviuosly should be pulled from the prop if the have been eliminated. I dont see what accurate odds you could place on them? It seems like a way to scalp the unknowing.

Default i agree about sportsinteraction being shady

hey everyone i used sportinteraction for 2 years and like most people lost a lot of money. But the one time i won 400 bucks in a parlay..it was the hardest thing i have ever encountered for them to actually give me my winning. For some reason when the parlay won the wagering history said i lost one of the games by 2 points..when i actually WON by 2 points. After 4 days of waiting on hold for hours..and them saying i was wrong; they FINALLY found out i was right and credited my account, sadly that wasnt the worst part though. I requested a check withdraw, "us postal express," which was a ridiculous 40 dollar fee. But anyway, i recieved the check 8 days later instead of the 2-3 i was guranteed and the CHECK LOOKED FAKE!..i never saw a check that looked so fragulant. I take it to my bank to cash, and they tell me that the check looks fragulant and cant be cashed. They even called the banks phone number and got no response. I then went to a check cashing place where i was also told that the check looked bogus. This check was not only larger then most checks, but instead of signing the top of the check like normal, this check made you sign in the middle of the check on the back. It also said it was a "out of country" check. After 5 days of trying to cash it, a really good friend of my mine that worked at a bank went against his belief in it being fake and trusted me enough to cash it. Thankfully it wasnt fragulant but it looked so fake. So not only did it take 4 days to get the parlay valid, 8 days to get the check, but a extra 4 days to cash it. Sportsinteraction is a joke, which is why i now go through sportsbook which seems much much better to me.

p.s. Its crazy how these sites take the money within seconds when you lose a bet, but when you win, they take there good ol' time and give you problems.

I actually have to step in and say that I have never had anything but great experiences with SIA. I have always been paid by them and although I would like quicker methods than what they do offer US players it still came in the time that they actually stated so I can't really complain. I have never had much of a problem with them grading any of my plays and never had an issue depositing a check at my bank.

sia is solid,
they once graded a wager wrong because their was a 3 pointer in the last second of the game which only was a 2 pt shot after they had reviewed the shot .
It only took them a few minutes after i went to live chat and reported the grading error to fix it.
