Re: Players vs. Sportingbet PLC – Three fraud complaints<o></o>

Dear Sirs,<o></o>
<o> </o>
The Offshore Wire is a Watchdog Web site and online players assistance service that caters the gaming community and provides free assistance to gamblers who file complaints against sports books.<o></o>
<o> </o>
In the last few weeks we have been in receipt of numerous complaints with concern to sports books operating under the Sportingbet PLC bookmaking license.<o></o>
<o> </o>
After careful investigation we have come to determine that three complaints received are founded. <o></o>
<o> </o>
Despite the evidence Sportingbet PLC family of sports books refuse to amend decisions taken on non existent rules and maintain their position by seizing a player’s winnings ($7,500 – case TOW/05/314), not returning a player’s initial deposit and confiscating his winnings ($3,000 in deposits and/or $3,305.18 in winnings – case TOW/05/321), not awarding a portion of a sign up bonus initially promised in writing ($500 – case TOW/05/322).<o></o>
<o> </o>
<o></o>
<o>This group which includes sportsbook.com is always in the news for bad it seems. They just go out of their way not to pay players, usually petty little things they dig up in their long and deceitful rules.</o>
