Wager Web owes me $81,843 and won't pay.

From reading about Wager Web on sports forums and through guys I knew that bet offshore they recommended a few sportsbooks to me of which Wager Web was one, at the time it was called Casablanca.
On 4-2-2003 I deposited $19,900 into my Wager Web account via my Neteller account. At that time they offered a plan that allowed accounts to receive back 5% of net wins or losses each week as their bonus plan.
just an fyi: Later that month I started an affiliate program and the people I referred lost over $10,000 dollars and I was paid 25% of their losses. None of them still play at Wager Web as far as I know. Wager Web stopped the affiliate program for me in May 2004 because I didn't have a website and that was a new requirement of theirs to have an affiliate program. Wager Web freely exchanged money from my account to any of the accounts that were in my affiliate program with a simple phone call.

From 4-2-2003 until my last deposit on 10-10-2005 I had deposited a total of $403,400.

On 11-7-2006 when I called in to place a wager I was informed by John that my account was "suspended and under investigation for fraudulent wagers and taking advantage of 5% back."

On 11-14-2006 my account was unsuspended and was told everything was ok.

11-27-06 I was told my account was suspended again. My balance was $91,843 and they would not answer any of my questions on the phone or my emails. This time they tell me that I bet similar to other people, etc. Then they told me that there is a good chance I won't get any of my money. Then they stopped taking my calls or answering my emails. Then they said they took all my money out of my account and were put it in someone else's account and that I may be able to get some after a 20x rollover is met. My friend tells me they did the same to him and that was the only solution to me getting any money back. So I waited this thing out and now I am just screwed. The guy who they put the money in his account gave me $10,000 as he said everyone got totally screwed. So now I have $10,000 of the $91,843 that was in my account and I want the world to know that Wager Web is a con book and owes me $81,843.
When I signed up they told me I could take any of my money out at any time since the 5% bonus was based on bets already completed, so what was in my account was mine. Then they go and just take my money from me.
If anyone can help please let me know.

They used to be good, but I stopped playing there when Neteller tanked. They used to be a really solid pay.

I also stopped because they took away a free half point I had been getting for years.

They recently offered to give the free half back to me if I re-upped.

I believe your story.

Another reason I didn't go back is nobody transfers with them.

I suspect Neteller was very important to WW.

Sound like your problem could be this :

That's not the case, my affiliate account was closed in 2004.

They were kind of sloppy, and would allow some bets they shouldn't have in the past.

They also never did have a very high SBR rating, but always paid on time via NT ( but had limits of like $1,000 a day).

There is no where I would put significant money these days offshore.

Sad state of affairs is the US won. Even books that want to pay are having problems...

We are a good 2-3 years from stability.

Find something else to do is my opinion.

Wager Web owes me $42,513


On June 21, 2002 I funded my Wager Web(WW) account with a western union deposit of 10k. I was referred to WW by a friend of mine here in Arizona. I was really impressed with their 10c baseball lines and liked their unique bonus structure of no upfront bonus but one that was permanent. The bonus allowed me to get a 5% rebate on the net profit/loss each week. There were no restrictions on how many bets had to be placed or limits on the bet sizes. So, for example, the week of 7-15-02 / 7-21-02 I placed the following bets:
Giants + 170 lost 5000
Cards + 165 won 8250
Brewers + 115 lost 5000
Padres + 110 won 5500
Tigers + 180 lost 5000
Royals + 110 won 5500
Phillies + 115 won 5750
Padres + 180 won 9000
Giants + 130 won 6500
Orioles + 160 lost 5000
White Sox + 115 lost 5000
Rangers + 175 lost 5000
Pirates + 125 won 6250
Brewers + 165 lost 3378

So for that week I netted + $13,372 and 5% of that = $669 which constituted the 5% bonus I received the Monday after the week ended. If I had lost $13,372 that week I would of received the same $669.

On 7-18-02 my account balance had reached $47,500 so I requested my first payout for $25,000 via a cashiers check and I received it within a week and was hooked on WW from that moment on.

I continued to play at WW for the next 4+ years, receiving payouts and depositing funds along the way with no issues. Then it all changed.

Wed 11-8-06 I called wagering and they said my account was suspended and trasferred me to customer service and I spoke to Rose and she said my account was linked to other accounts that were on the 5% plan without offering any explanation.

Fri 11-10-06 I called and spoke to Nina and she put me on hold and came back on the phone and told me that I would be getting an email from Dave on Monday.

Mon 11-13-06 I was transfered to J.T. and he confirmed my email and said I would be getting an email later that night.

Tues 11-14-06 I spoke with J.T. as I never got an email and he told me my account was unsuspended now and he apologized that it took so long. He said my account was fine for now, and I asked him "what do you mean for now." Would it would be suspended in the future," and he replied "no."

Thur 11-16-06 I bet on Akron ML + 165 and lost $5000.

Mon 11-20-06 I received 5% rebate for the week which amounted to $250 which brought my balance to a confirmed $52,513.

Tues 11-21-06 I called to place a wager and a clerk named Lisa checked on my account and said it was suspended and that I would be receiving an email that night. I said "who is going to send me the email," and she replied "Kevin." Later I concluded Kevin and J.T. were the same person.

Wed 11-22-06 I spoke to Lisa and told her I never got an email and she then informed me that I will get it soon. I asked for her to just tell me what the email says since it is so difficult to send it. She claimed she didn't know.

Fri 11-24-06 I spoke to Paul and he said they are going to send me the email and that J.T. would be back in an hour. Well I called later and J.T. wasn't there.

Sat 11-25-06 I spoke to Paul and told him I still haven't got an email. He said he would tell J.T. again tomorrow as he was gone for the day.

This continued to go one for another week, all along while no one in management would get on the phone with me. I was just supposed to wait for a mysterious email to arrive.

Mon 12-4-06 I spoke to Lisa and she spoke to Charlie who informed her that he was going to send an email now. I got the email shorlty after. I read it and about 10 minutes later I called for Charlie, as his name was on the bottom of the email and his title was Fraud Department Supervisor. Not surprisingly I was informed that Charlie, Dave, and J.T. were gone for the day.

The email said I bet similar to some people with no explanation of how or what games, etc. Which would of been coincidental at best, as I bet my own plays for the most part and had been playing there for over four years without any issues. But now they throw this in my face. They offered three deals and the best by far put 5k in my pocket at that time and another 5k in my pocket just recently. So now I feel that WW owes me $42,513 and would like to solicit the help of the forums.

Aandwman, sorry to hear about your misfortune at Wagerweb. To be honest you are not the first poster to post a similar tale this week about Wagerweb, I believe someone else says he is owed over 80K. I wish I could do something to help you and am willing to try but highly doubt if I will get anywhere with them at this point. However feel free to email the details you have not posted (mainly your account number) and I will see if I can be of some help.

WagerWeb stole over 30K from me.

I signed up with WagerWeb on 08-01-02 by sending them 10K via Western Union. In over 4 years of playing there I have spoken with Dave (the owner) on several occasions. He indicated to me on more than one occasion that he liked my action and appreciated my business. In November of 2006, JT (Dave's right hand man) informed me that my account had been suspended. They said I had bet similar to some other players. I tried several times to reach Dave without success to get a more in depth explanation.

After two weeks of total avoidance by Dave and JT, finally a clerk told me I need to contact another player over there. The other player told me that Dave had told him that my money was to be combined with other peoples money and be put into one account. I was concerned with this arrangement but after speaking with the player and listening to a taped conversation with said player and Dave, I was convinced that I was not going to recieve one freaking cent if I didn't play their game. I agreed to this arrangement only because of the fear that WagerWeb was going to go through on their threat of stealing all of my money. Under this arrangement I was able to put 5K in my pocket up front and 5K last week.

Over the years I sent them a total of $127,779 via Western Union or Neteller, and gave them action every week. I never once was told I was doing anything wrong. At the time of the suspension I was trying to pull the bulk of my money from offshore betting houses because of what had happened at Neteller. I believe that the Neteller disaster triggered this so called investigation.

There is no way in hell that i would have ever agreed to such a theivery of my money unless I was 100% sure that it was the ONLY way that I would ever receive one cent from them. They still owe me $30,666. If this book wants to regain any credibility, they need to pay me my $30,666 in full.
