book247.eu (not rated) scam alert. Player: I have a 29.1K balance with book247.eu. The book is closed as of 6/4/2013. The phone lines are off and the website gives me an error message which states gaming has been suspended. the leaders of the book have been arrested for kidnapping the head of the processor that evidently screwed them out of major cash. I am not sure if this is true. Per my customer agent (rumors only) the book is currently being bought out by another owner. I wish they would contact their VIP customers to give us a heads up on what's really going on. Call me naive but i had no idea that there was a risk of not getting a payout when doing online betting. This betting site is based in Costa Rica. Per emails from the site, this company is wholly owned by Gibraltar Sports & Gaming Group Limited #105898.
