    I have seen few months back this at the main page :

    SBR Bill Dozer Reports: Pointbet Downgraded from C- to D+ due to concerns over the sportsbook’s location. Pointbet tells players that they are operating from the British Virgin Islands. However, SBR has confirmed that the sportsbook is operating illegally from Batam Island, which is part of Indonesia. These concerns are highlighted by the recent disappearance of Asian sportsbook Game2Bet (SBR not rated) and sister book AsianOdds (SBR not rated). There are unconfirmed reports that the operation was taken offline by government authorities. It should be noted that the majority of the feedback from Pointbet customers has been positive. SBR is hopeful that Pointbet will eventually choose a new location that is tolerant of gaming activity.


    I want to ask if everything is alright with them now, thanks

    Pointbet is working on relocating and obtaining a UK license. I would suggest limiting the amount of funds you keep there until they leave Asia.

    Most of the punters that I know (Europeans mostly) , have an account there, since they are offering big variety of soccer leagues and soccer bets, even myself from the 15 bookmakers I'm using, I bet there most of the bets, since they have great odds on soccer matches. I'll follow Bill's advice and I will withdraw money regularly. Money can be withdrawn to bank account or to moneybookers account. On the past it took about 2-3 days, but the last withdrawl that I made to moneybookers, the money was at my moneybookers account after a couple of hours.

    I saw this today on their site :

    PointbetGames are very pleased to be able to take the sponsorship this season with Blackpool Football Club. PointbetGames are hoping for a long and succesfull partnership with Blackpool Football Club.

    Blackpool is a small soccer club on lower leagues from England.
