ToteSport - Beat This!

[Simmo!]

Ok I'm seriously impressed.

Some of you may have noticed my nice run at ToteSport (Playtech) over the weekend. I signed up Saturday to "test drive" it, had a couple of glorious slot hits (and a nice Keno one actually - 7 from 9 numbers) withdrew around £5,000 on Saturday and another £1,500 on Sunday evening and both lots were in my Bank account (not Neteller but my actual bank account!) on Monday night!!

I mean I know they are a company with a long sportsbetting history in the UK, but still, no ID checks, no hanging around for a reverse period, no hassle at all.

By way of info, US peeps can't play there, and they only take credit and debit cards, but they have their own banking system so you don't have that awful Playtech 96 hour default reverse time in there. Actually there is a bug in their banking system that means you have to cashin via the website at the moment, but I'll let them know...and their banking system is a bit confusing the first time you cashout I guess. But do you see me complaining?

Simmo!

Yep, Tote and Bet365 (UK sportsbooks) are the only Playtechs I'd feel comfortable playing with. With the general malaise in the industry it's worth pointing out it looks a lot better if you're living in the UK. There are far more reputable, big-name companies to choose from.

Of course the no ID checks probably isn't true. There simply weren't any antiquated requests for scans when most data can be verified quickly and automatically (for some reason this is a bit of a bugbear for me at the moment )

Awesome! Now if more casinos would follow their lead. Congrats on your wins!

Thats a very good point actually. The safety factor of the big sportsbet companies definately provides a solid foundation that is perhaps lacking overseas. Guess it'll be the same when the big B&M's come online too.

Yeah, I noticed that. Ritz Club and Victor Chandler are a couple of others I'd like to try, if they accepted Americans. These casinos are actually located in the UK, right?

For tax purposes they're registered in Alderney (a British island in the English Channel just off France) and Gibraltar, respectively, but they're both companies with a long history (and presence) on the "mainland", not your usual fly-by-night on-line casino operators. In fact if you go to the sites you can actually find out things about them (p.s. I know 32Red also gives details!)

Totesport are the only ones whom I can think of, that consistently act in a rogue behaviour, showing utterly no respect for their customers, and quite willing to screw them out of their bonuses, in a rude & arrogant manner which very much grates - and to which I have the emails to back it up, right upto Supervisor level, and to which I've read of other nasty experiences endured by players with them, in other forums. Avoid - there are hundreds of other playtechs out there.

Please don't bump up threads that are over a year old. You are not really adding anything to the conversation because it's over and done with.

What you have is a complaint. Please post complaints in the proper section. Thanks!

Apologies -I just searched for 'totesport' and was first one with thread title.

In the interest of fairness - I have no probs with their sportsbook/instant games division, & is recommended by me (not that I'm Egon Ronay or anything). I
