Euro2024 is now just a few days away so you know it’s another opportunity to cash out backing the likes of Portugal, Spain, England and France to clear the group stages. But before you load up your Sportybet account, here are 5 reasons why you should totally avoid Sportybet

1. Sportybet is currently owing customers over 950m in unpaid winnings

According to several media outlets and petitions filed to the EFCC, Police Special Fraud Unit, Police Force Intelligence and Investigation Department, NLRC and other agencies, by aggrieved customers, Sportybet is currently accused of owing about 114 customers over 950m and refusing to pay them their legitimate winnings. Many of these customers have taken to social media and granted media interviews to explain their predicament about how the company not only refused to pay their hard earned winnings but also closed their accounts unjustly and without explanation.

2. They blocked accounts of customers after they won money on their platform

In order to avoid paying these customers, Sportybet immediately blocked their accounts after winning. Imagine risking your money and winning a big bet during the Euro 2024 or Olympics and then Sportybet closes your account after refusing to pay you. It is best to avoid the platform until they start operating with integrity

3. Sportybet accused customers of playing “fake odds” to avoid paying out winnings.

Imagine you staked N500 and won N50m– then Sportybet comes forward to say they won't pay you because you played “fake odds” on their platform. As ridiculous as it sounds, that’s exactly what they are currently doing– denying over 100 customers access to their winnings totaling over 950m and accusing them of playing “fake odds” and using “bot technology”. What does that even mean? Better safe than sorry. Avoid Sportybet and stories that touch if you know what’s good for you.

4. Sportybet is playing dirty and knows exactly what it is doing.

After locking the accounts of punters who have won money on the platform, Sportybet through its customer care is asking for ridiculous documents like “Skype ID” before unlocking accounts. SKYPE ID. Who uses Skype in Nigeria? And how should that affect verification? Even after customers explain they don’t use Skype, Sportybet insists that the accounts won’t be unlocked because failure to provide ANY requested information would lead to continued punishment. Now imagine you win 80m and they close your account. And then tell you to bring a document showing that you own the house you’re living in– meanwhile you’re just a tenant. That means your money has gone, according to Sportybet. Absolute disgrace. To make matters worse, even after providing Skype ID, the accounts remain closed.

5. IT experts have called out the company’s lies

After claiming that customers played “fake odds” using “bot technology”, independent indigenous and international IT experts have come forward to rubbish those claims and explained why it is impossible for anyone to create, publish and play fake odds on Sportybet or any other betting platform.
Unless Sportybet pays the money it owes to its customers and is able to demonstrate strong financial health to redeem player winnings– it is better to look for another betting platform for your Euro2024 adventure. The worst thing that could happen is that you finally get a big breakthrough that could change your life forever, and Sportybet refuses to pay you claiming you played “fake odds”.

Sports Betting is for men with NO future ambitions. Lowlifes. It will destroy your life, make you poor and in debt.

Quit Now

Well, in as much as this may be true, I honestly do hope you get your winnings.

Also it's human beheavior to hide their identity "anonymous" on platforms they feel is not dignified to society. Proving a win with such profile handles is hard If a win ever happens..

If nairaland decides to share freebies to accounts, how many can proove without "log in option" which can be hacked, that they own the account?..

Godspeed

Y

people are tilted to their own opinion

Well that's it with all bookmakers, they can decide to close your account for just any reason.

They can decide not to pay you your winnings siting some irrelevant reasons, make una dey try read terms and conditions.

I chop 6m on bet9ja during this season that just ended. When I transferred the money it took less than 5 minutes and I received my credit alert.

That's when I started respecting them.

Hmmm imagine. Skype id voter's card and nin because of what?

Sportybet with no physical office address is a scam and I saw this coming a long time ago. The same way 1xbet dealt with my brothers that time

A word is enough for the wise oo

6m, 5m, 2m etc is easy to pay out, make dem dey chop 30m,80m, 100m steady you go understand my point.

Back then highest payout no dey reach #60m sef, I no just understand how this new sets of bookmakers dey promise wetin dem no fit fulfill.

For me, sportybet is still the best
