Hi all!
I am looking for advice on how to deal with a problem encounterd on a famous on line betting site.
I had only just registered with the site and bettted on a mix of greyhound racing and could not believe my luck at winning on the very first day, I started with a 10.00 bet placed over about 5-6 races and won about 100.00 back.
Next day I decided to do the same betting, (I had never really betted in my life so kept my stake low and was staggered to realise that I again had a very big win at least to me it was big, another 90.00 in my account.
Two days and after spending about 29.00 on bets i was 290.00 up.
I decided to go a third day and again my selections came in as winners and I was paid out a similar amount.
I am creature of habit and up until now I had been playing the same numbers and same amount of stakes, I even kept betting on the same time of races (cartoon races)!
On the fourth day I decided to play a higher amount on the races that brought me the highest wins previously, and won an amazing 9,000.
I managed to withdraw the bulk of my winnings to my bank account, and then suddenly found that my account with the online bookmaker had been suspended.
The reason; they gave to me (12 hours later), was that I had been paid out in error; and that the results of the races as shown at the time were incorrect and that the trap positions of the real winners were different than my selections.
They have now claimed back the winnings that were still in my online account, and are demanding that I pay back all other money deposited in my bank account.
How can an error like this go on so long, and what are my rights!
Should I keep the money as I believed that I had won,or has anyone had a similar thing happen to them?
