MALTA – The Linx Media Group has today announced that it is seeking to put its businesses into liquidation and will cease trading with immediate effect.

As yet, the Linx Media Group does not know how long this process will take, but it will provide updates on the situation as and when information becomes available and when liquidators are appointed.

A company spokesperson from the Linx Media Group stated: “It is with great regret that we make this announcement. I appreciate the concern and frustration that this will inflict on the Eurolinx, BetOnBet, and Linx Casino player community. Affected account holders are those individuals who have agreed to a contractual relationship with the Linx Media Group through Eurolinx, BetOnBet and Linx Casino. All available player funds are held by these businesses. As soon as we have information on how to lodge claims with the liquidators, we will communicate this via www.eurolinx.com, www.BetOnBet.com and www.linxcasino.com.”

wtf is going on ,why they dont payout all players founds and than go seeking for liqudity,is there any fraud for this scums?

[noyb]

if they could actually payout players funds, obviously they wouldn't need to go into liquidation in the first place.

Like was it the casino part? highly unlikely
the Book part? possible lots of winners on just SBR alone and with the ppl that tail from her and then go to other forums and post and then get tailed. some guys are destained to go REAL BIG
maybe they just suck at finances?

I agree, and what a shame!! but thanks to those who post this kind of things, it helps us all!

BetOnBet and Eurolinx are now in the F category. It is not unusual to see places like these reopen during the NFL Year or closer to the Super Bowl, so it's important to steer clear of any BetOnBet or Eurolinx property in the future. The GM of BetOnBet is someone that we have communicated with, and any operation he might try to open up in the future will immediately go into the F category until all balances owed are paid.

[acidofil]

Hi guys,
Can someone please tell me is there any hope that we will see our money from that bookmaker? Is there anything that can be done in this kind of situation? Thank you very much for your answer...

[GoodOldTed]

liquidated, and they had very little business anyway, meaning a buyer is highly unlikely. Good luck getting anything back.

[barreiratiago]

any idea what i could do to get my money back? or its impossible?

[Jiang7]

I had 1619euro there.

I never bet here, but best of luck to anyone with funds there.

Looks like the LGA is trying to shirk its responsibility again. Surely if Alpine Malta was licensed and traded under BetOnBet (as they admit), then BetOnBet was indeed licensed by the LGA (which they deny), and the LGA once again failed to act sufficiently early to protect players. Licensing the parent company means the LGA should have kept a check on what its trading subsidiaries were up to. And, actually, it's not even clear that BetOnBet was a subsidiary, rather than just the operational tradename. The LGA makes me angry.

[FooFighters]

that sucks

[barreiratiago]

that means what?

[AimingHigh]

Barreiratiago, if you haven't done so already, you should use the information Fixxer helpfully posted, above, to contact the LGA. It's unlikely that you'll be able to recover any of your owed funds, but it's better than doing nothing at all. Apart from contacting the LGA with the requested info, there's really - literally - nothing else you can do now.

I hope you didn't have too much money in BetOnBet.
