Exclamation Globet to open new book, GlobetSport

Globet (SBR rating D+) to open new book, GlobetSport.

GlobetSport will use WagerPlayer software and be based in Gibraltor, while Globet's office and server resides in the United Kingdom. Globet will use its new book to target players in locations it would not be able to pursue under its UK license. Globet players have recently complained of unethical bookmaking practices.

Well, isn't that certainly comforting?

They transferred my account form Globet to GlobetSport. GlobetSport is a way worse. The lines are ridiculous, worse then these in Globet, 1.80-1.80 style often. If try to place a bet - take a small amount or refuses and reduce the odds. Asked for a withdrawal. 10 days passed - still pending. Tried to contact via e-mail, Skype, MSN - no response. Feels like GlobetSport was created to get rid of winning players and steal their money, but could not do it under UK license, so they created a new book. Stay away from GlobetSport for the moment. Will keep you updated.

I withdrew my balance straight away when i was transfered to GlobetSport. There prices and limits are very bad. It took just over 2 weeks for my money to hit my Moneybookers account.

I'm having the same issues, deposited last friday to bet on a soccer match and when I was about to place my bet, the odd decreased from 2.0 to 1.9. Because of that I gave up on that bet and proceeded with the withdrawal. Altough I received a message saying "The funds will be credited in 20 minutes into your neteller account" I'm still waitting for the funds to be credited into my e-wallet. I tryed to contact globetsports several times through livechat which doesn't work at all since there are never operators available. It doesn't make sense to have that option("Livechat") in their since and not having it working properly. I contacted globetsports trough several emails and received and answer from another email that didn't passed trough my spam filter. They requested a document for id verification purposes which I sent yesterday.

This is my first post in the SBR forum and I'm sorry for being a complaint. I had an account with Globet wich migrated to Globetsports so I'm not a new client for them. I sincerely hope GlobetSports deals with this kind of situations with the same professional atitude as Globet had in the past and got me used to, otherwise their popularity will decrease for sure.

PS:BTW I would have lost that bet I wanted to place since the team I wanted to back didn't win.

The funniest thing, after several attempts to contact GlobetSports and after sending my documents in order to proceed with the withdrawal I received the following e-mail:

Kind of bored with this situation I logged in so I could check on some odds, when I realized that altough the withdrawal was canceled I still didnt have any funds on my globet account. Somewhat worried I rushed to neteller and after loging in I realized the withdrawal was processed afterall.

GlobetSports said one thing and made exactly the opposite wich doesn't act in their behalf. Luckily for me I got my money back altough they said they wouldn't be giving it to me before I placed a bet.

I received the email saying funds wouldn't be credited into my e-wallet account at 13:01 (GMT+1). According to neteller the funds kicked in at 16:30. Before that I've been searching for odds and they were lucky cause I was going to bet on Spain or at a least against the draw and then they would lose some money. Good for them and good for me because I got my money back.
