Fafabet. Avoid!

Afternoon All,

Unfortunately been done by rouge Ts and Cs.

On a CASH deposit with no bonus of £800.

Got up to just shy of £1,800.

Account suspended.

Email from their team attached. How on earth can they get away with that, its ridiculous!

@maxd Anything I can do here?

OK, I take it they've voided the winnings and are restoring the deposit 800 to your a/c which is now suspended?

It does seem odd that there are such prejudicial restrictions on all-cash play.

Correct, no bonus attached.
How can they restrict raw cash deposits?

 

[SYPlayer95]

Seems strange their systems allow the user to breach and then retrospectively remove all winnings associated.

How can anybody possibly win with such unfavourable terms.

Does the UKGC genuinely allow this?

What a joke they are.

Odd? It seems to me like a blatant way to rip off larger depositers who deposit large in order to make large bets.
They lose? Sweet. Keep losing? Even sweeter! Finally hit a large win? Built your balance a bit? Upped the stakes did you, mr.Highroller? Well, now let's take a look at your bet size!

Oviously I don't trust trustpilot, but a glance at the reviews seem to enforce this assumption.

That is insane! Is that even legally enforceable in the UK? Did you report it to the UKGC?

Exactly that!
Which is sort of what's happened here.

What makes it worse. Is that the account is still suspended, cannot play anything. Cannot withdraw anything.

Yet. The account balance is still £1780, they've not even amended the balance yet.

Complete joke!

Not sure. Hence why I've posted on the forums. I wouldn't want anybody else to fall foul of these predatory tactics applied by Fafabet.

Guessing u were playing live games since must have been staking £200 a shot if it was an £800 deposit.

Definitely not a site for big spenders.

They also have a maximum win on slots and roulette of £4000 a spin.

So even a £2 spin hitting a 5000x stake win means you would be shafted. You can also bet £1000 a time on roulette again max per spin win is £4000.

And maximum cumulative winnings in a day is £25,000.

Yep, absolutely disgrace.
UKGC need to do something about this.
They've made it nearly impossible to win.
Would be happy to see these lot on the CM rouge list tbh.

 

[SYPlayer95]

Just to add to this, I have on several occasions asked to be self excluded from this site, there's no chance theyre getting any of my hard earned cash.
They've not actioned that either!

They are an awful site, my brother reported them a couple of years ago to the UKGC for a few stunts they pulled on him. The UKGC asked him what licence they took his bets on and he contacted Fafabet and they told my brother it was on the UKGC licence, but as he is in NI the UKGC said they cant take bets from NI on the UKGC licence.
When he contacted Fafabet about this they basically told him to F off, blocked him from contact and closed his account, confiscation the few quid he had.
He forwarded all details of this and all emails, including the one where they state his bets were accepted under UKGC licence, to the GC and hopefully they take action next time they apply for a licence renewal.
