Poker online does not usually reach mainstream headlines very often, however the Bet365 Poker rip-off became one of the exceptions. Although it does not exactly bode well for on-line poker that mainstream followers are now being confronted with Bet365's malpractices, it's still very interesting on the other hand.
Looking at news flash headlines from the past day or two, Gaming Mag, Rip off Watch along with the Las vegas Telegraph Magazine were just a handful of giant media agencies addressing the Bet365 Poker con that's currently getting referred to as a ponzi scheme.
Needless to say, any time a multi-billion corporation starts circumventing the tactics of a typical company and putting players finances at risk, the experience is bound to become major news. Now this just isn't to state that Bet365 Poker didn't have purpose of paying users back when they called for cashouts, although the even bigger problem is that they lied to them how much cash was being kept.
Additionally, the ones at the top of the company were taking hundreds of thousands of $ out to fatten their own wallets, as opposed to preserving players' money in the actual business where it belonged. One of the numerous examples that this scam has boomed to epic proportions is that some people transferred dollars in to Bet365 Poker employing their PayPal account. The transfer went just fine and was credited to the gamblers account.
The trouble happened as soon as the players logged in to start gambling when a browser window all of a sudden popped up saying "Your Account Has Been Shut down Due To Safety Problems".
Of course the players went haywire and claimed their funds back immediately but the only respond from the Bet365 support was: "Regrettably We simply cannot refund the money until you mail security papers like Photo ID, proof of address to us".
Robert, one amongst the numerous players affected, informed us "Precisely what sort of business is this...honestly??".
He continues "They accepted the deposit within seconds but once logged in this message that account have been closed down just pops up", "I thought all right no problem, I'll proceed to a different poker network so I got in contact with their support who told me, we simply cannot repay you before sending in all security documents has been submitted...After all, seriously, I did not play a single game of poker before they took my cash and shut down the account."
We have received loads of e-mails with the same stories of the Bet365 Poker Scam, that they will close players account right after a validated deposit were made.
