is Sportsbet.com.au reliable ?

[Hareeba!]

is Sportsbet.com.au reliable ?

certainly

you can rely on them to reduce your stakes to laughable limits if you demonstrate any ability

the last time I tried a sports bet with them my limit was $3.20

just a typical Euro bookie now masquerading as an Aussie

[tommygun]

yeah mate they are reliable, always pay, you won't have a problem there.

[brettels]

Yes they are, the first online sportsbook from Australia and the most reputable.

[Hareeba!]

Yes they are, the first online sportsbook from Australia and the most reputable.

I've found them out to be liars on two occasions. And I have the evidence which I am submitting to the NT Regulators.
If they are the "most reputable" it doesn't say much for the others.
But yes your money is safe with them, as it is with all the Aussie books.

On a somewhat related note, SP are reporting SportsAlive (formerly Sports Acumen) have gone into receivership. Will be an interesting case study on how a bankrupt sportsbook should be handled..

There is a thread on the bigfooty punting board where a player has been trying to get his money for weeks or months with a ball park figure of 1200 or 1300 dollars and still hasn't got his money. Dodgy group sports alive.

[brettels]

also, bet247 was a whitelabel to sportsalive. they are also closed now. sportsalive is one of two that i knew of not licensed through the NT Gov

Bet247 is owned quite separately to SportsAlive and they are still in business. Their website is expected to be up and running by tomorrow if not later today.

Speak to a company named bet options, they will confirm this. They organized white labels for sportsalive and bet247 is one of them.

So?
Does that invalidate what I've said?

[brettels]

yes it does, as a white label, bets placed at a white label site are handled by the parent company. bet247 would have only made commissions on bets placed at their site which was processed and cash handled by sportsalive. only the domain would be seperately owned.

So, are you telling me that Bet247 is out of business and won't be reopening their website and taking bets by tomorrow?

[Santo]

Presumably they'll white label with somebody else... The main question is where they stand as a creditor if they had funds involved with bets at SA not paid out yet...

[brettels]

Thats true Santo! They must be working that our right now, thats why their site is down. Just got to hope for the best for customers to those sites. Never thought it would happen.

[brettels]

So, are you telling me that Bet247 is out of business and won't be reopening their website and taking bets by tomorrow?

How would i know that? They might open again partnered with a reliable site like sportsbet or sportingbet(who now own centrebt) or they may completely fold, the owner of bet247 may have made enough money to go into business themselves and get their own license, who knows?

So now you admit don't know.
Previously you told me that what I'd posted (#10) was invalidated by your subsequent post.

I said they are closed, i didn't say they weren't coming back at all but that its possible.

No, you went further than that.

Post#10 is your own post trying to tell me that bet247 is not a white label! Where as I am telling you they are/were! How coincidental the there site is not running while sportsalive is not either!

AN OUTRIGHT BLOODY LIE

I never mentioned "white label"

This is what I posted in #10 and you told me is invalid:

"Bet247 is owned quite separately to SportsAlive and they are still in business. Their website is expected to be up and running by tomorrow if not later today."

And that was in response to my white label post. Saying they are quite separately owned is bull, they wouldn't even own 50% of there own sportsbook because they are a white label business!

[AimingHigh]

Brettels, any evidence for this other than the fact their site is down? Could they not just have been using SportsAlive's lines and need to find a replacement? I ask as I have money in Bet247 and don't want to see my crap week get even worse...

changes nothing
you said my comments were invalid and you said I denied "white label"

I had a time about 6 months ago where i was looking at starting my own white label sportsbook, I spoke with the company bet options and they relayed the same structure that bet247 has in offer to me if i wanted the same deal at my own domain address, which is as explained in previous posts that everything is handled through sportsalive its just the white label customer operates through bet247 in order for the white label owner to recieve his commission for his marketing efforts under the bet247 name.

Thats all i can really say, i don't know what tomorrow brings for bet247 customers or sportsalive customers, i think people will eventually get their money back. you are better off with sportsbet.com.au , TABsportsbet , sportingbet.com.au for the safety of your money.

[AimingHigh]

$hit. Well, there goes my week.

[brettels]

changes nothing

You remind of of the guilty man in court that rants and raves on his way out of the room to his cell. You have no argument, you make no sense at all and you are not making any points. I know now the best conversation to be had with you is no conversation at all. It's OK to be wrong sometimes Hareeba! You just need to learn how to accept it.

But I've proved you are the guilty one in this case.

You told me my comments in #10 were invalid.

You said I had denied "white label"

Nothing you've posted since has been able to back up your lies.

You've been a long term "shill" for Sportsbet yet had no idea how many players they've limited out of the game.

You continue to call them "reputable" but I've got evidence proving them to have lied to me and that is now before the NT regulator.

[Hareeba!]

$hit. Well, there goes my week.

don't fret mate and ignore that Brettels twerp

give 247 a call on 1300 238 247

[brettels]

You can't handle the truth so you go into offensive mode! Poor baby! You are like cory1111 so prove things you claim to be! I doubt you could, because it is you who is a shill and a liar.
