Online gambling group Betfair's recent controversial decisions in regards to player issues has angered many in the online gambling community.

This is what I understand to have happened, Betfair ran a promotion with unlimited reload bonuses at a 10x clearing rate with their casino and several players started winning a lot of money. So Betfair seeing these big winners decided to terminate the promotion and start locking up accounts and seizing funds from the winners.
Now they are saying players have violated the "Spirit of the Bonus" which is totally crap! They Betfair realized they set up a stupid promotion and instead of cutting the loss, they have now totally destroyed their rep!!!


"However, Betfair refused to honour the bets of punters who thought they had won the jackpot after finding six winners at Newmarket last Friday."

Betfair announced that it had "returned funds for the failed bets" and said that the punters were never given confirmation that the bets had been registered, and did not appear on the customer's account statements.

Betfair's account of the situations seems to run contrary to what many players are claiming!!

Casinomeister (Read his report here)along with several other sites are making this a rogue program so please stay away Streakers!!!

hmmmm when I read things like this it reminds me of Grand Prive. They were a great group right up to the day they crapped on us.

Fools, they should have just cut their losses, a good reputation is so hard to build up in the industry
