Hey

I was trying to open an account with Sportbet.com.au today, but found that My country (Denmark) was not on the list. I mail them and asked why. After about three email back and forth, they told me the reason was, that it is illegal to bet online in my country. I didn't really understand that, because I have been betting online the last 6-7 years, and EU law makes sure that it can't be illegal . Denmark even has tax laws that specify how much to pay in tax. I tried to tell them what is really going on here, but they basically told me to shout up and move on.
Move on I will, but not shout up

If this is their logic, I would STAY THE HELL AWAY from these guys, Unless you want to hammer their slow moving odds or take their bonus

Very strange way to treat a potential costumer, and seems like they don't want to admit they were wrong(something you normally see from rank D bookmakers).

Cheers

Yes their customer service sucks. Getting them to actually assist someone is near impossible.

It is actually sportsbet.com.au and they are one of Australia's biggest and safest sportsbooks.
They are now owned by Paddy Power and bottom line is that they are only really interested in Australian customers.
They will take some non-Aust customers bit if you live outside Australia I would stay away from them too.
If you are in Australia they are solid as any A+ book listed here. Just got a juicy $500 100% matching bonus from them too!

Why sportsbet.com.au anyway for you when there are so many other choices?
