Resolved Is donbet legit

[say no to gambling]

[maxd says: the OP cross-posted the same material regarding Donbet, threads have been merged here.]

Has anyone used donbet casino before ? I have just withdrawn £3650 but when I went to go back on the website the page isn’t loading, starting to think I’ve been done

 

[Bezz89]

I hope not I joined up and it's been okay tbf way better than UK casinos so far. Did notice myself the website was down and was curious. My webpage thing said it was a problem on the web host part of that helps ease your nerves

 

[say no to gambling]

I emailed there support address and got a reply quite quickly saying that there’s a technical error on there end. Have you made a few withdrawals ?

 

[Bezz89]

I've not tbf I've give my stuff for verification though. Just like the fact I won bonuses over £20 never happens on UK sites it's ridiculous I got mine to £200 and went bed then site was down today. Seems pretty good though hope it goes through I think you'll good be good maybe they'll make it difficult by asking for more documents but I reckon you'll get it so don't panic for now

 

[Bezz89]

Just wanted to let you know site is up and my account had been all verified and I've just tried a withdrawal which is pending so looks good buddy. All the best

 

[say no to gambling]

Yeah that’s me back on as well, cheers mate

Be careful with sites such as these - based in Curacao, "licensed" (in the loosest possible sense) in Anjouan - a jurisdiction that can issue the license in under a month, requires no physical presence in the country, and apparently doesn't even require any auditing of first-party systems.

In addition, their own license stipulates they are not authorised to offer their services to a number of countries, including the UK. So the first sign of problems and they'll kick you to the kerb...

Under this license, apart from its own diligence and legalities, the license holder is not authorized to offer its services in the territories of Australia, Austria, Comoros, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, USA, all FATF Blacklisted countries, and/or any other jurisdictions deemed prohibited by the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority.

There are a number of domains linked to the ALSI-072403002-F17 license - a search suggests Mystake, Rolletto Sports, Velobet and Cosmobet.

Unfortunately, there is already a Casinomeister Warning against Mystake regarding problematic customer service and responsible gambling failures. So hopefully you do get paid, then can take it as a lesson learned and find somewhere better to play!

For sure dodgy I just had enough of UK casinos had no choice but to play there if I wanted to win anything but I know for sure they charge the deposits through a third party to get around regulations I'm not a legal expert but for sure this is shady possibly not legally allowed. On the plus side if anyone loses with them I'm sure theyd be able claim the money back if they wanted through bank so free gambling haha

In the case of pre-2024 Curacao, they operated in a grey area where it was legal for them to offer gaming services and it was legal for you to play them. Most of the focus went on crypto because it introduced enough plausible deniability that money could get in and out.

With the incoming changes, it's not legal for them (or Anjouan) to offer gaming services to restricted countries, so expect the waters to get murkier in the next 6-12 months.

On the plus side if anyone loses with them I'm sure theyd be able claim the money back if they wanted through bank so free gambling haha

Few years late to that party I'm afraid. Banks have sharpened up considerably on that in recent years after an influx of (both honest and dishonest) chargebacks.

Even when people have a legitimate claim, the additional hoops during payment (such as one-time passwords via text messages or phone app) can push the liability from the bank to the customer - so even if the payment is "obviously" fraudulent (e.g. some flower shop in Turkey), the bank are not obligated to refund it.

Trust me brother my bank would 1000% get that back if I asked Im not going to as I have a withdraw more than my deposits to come however my bank are very good are getting money back even like when it's a all legit they always get It back fair play so solid in that respect.
Although I've never done a claim back for gambling I've moaned and asked the gambling companies but never the bank I do t understand people who do that like you gambled it happily you can't get your money back.
The deposit is for winter clothes on my app so if I was to claim I dunno what that is they would have to provide receipts etc for a purchase I made and I didn't and they wouldn't have any emails or anything to prove so defo could claim it back unless your bank sucks.

Sadly it's a case of who do you go to the crooks here or the crooks their ? It's like asking who you want to bang your missus your brother or your uncle there is no good answer haha THE UK companies and regulations just gone too fascist for me they're collecting data on everyone like mad it's very intrusive and the games are so much worse the returns so much worse the bonus so much worse so just makes you look elsewhere despite the risk I guess.

 

[Bezz89]

Can always tell who is shady cause the deposits list as different stuff unlike other non UK casinos ya know. It's good for them cause they use loophole to get funds around regulations but also if you are aware of what's going on you could technically say I didnt buy this or that cause they'll all be from bogus companies sometimes they'll use several bogus companies for the same accounts deposits even

I got my withdrawal through today was supposed to be £2500 but came through at £2420 quite a big fee for a transaction

 

[Bezz89]

Yeah me too mate £200 come in as like 190

 

[Bezz89]

What have your deposits to them gone down as ? I've got like 3 different ones I gotta say it's been solid this casino but damn those deposits look strange on the bank statement

 

[say no to gambling]

All mine went down as the same they were all Santeda Intl

 

[Bezz89]

My withdraw is that but my deposits to them are 1 Estonia 1 Sweden 1 UAE haha

 

[say no to gambling]

That’s chargebacks all day long

 

[say no to gambling]

Can anyone answer this for me ? donbet and mystake share the same license, I am self excluded from mystake yet have been allowed to play on Donbet and lose a bit of money, I did receive a withdrawal from donbet but obviously still down money which is my own fault, do I have a leg to stand on legally if I was to contact the bank about this as I shouldnt have been allowed to play in the first place ? Cheers in advance

 

[say no to gambling]

Anyone know if I have a leg to stand on here, I have closed my account by my own hand with my stake around 6 month ago and have been playing on a sister platform called Donbet the last few days, which has paid me out a withdrawal, I am still down money on the whole but should never have been able to play anyway due to being banned on a sister site with the same license, is there any point in going to the bank with this ?

How are you down when you won 2 and a half g no way

 

[say no to gambling]

Cause I’m an idiot

 

[Bezz89]

Mate that's wild if it's like mine I don't see why not buddy I've made 4 deposits all of them are like initials with country abbreviations at the end. If I was to claim mine I'd just say I dunno wtf this is I've not bought anything from these places get my bank to ask them to prove it

 

[scott dickson]

The fact they paid out your withdrawal would suggest no you don't. If they had refused your withdrawal because of self exclusion then you might of got your deposits back.

If you were In profit on the casino would you pay them back? I very much doubt it.

 

[scott dickson]

Charge backs are not as successful these days because of payment verification even if you say you didn't buy anything from these places if you approved the payment via your phone then you don't really have a leg to stand on.

 

[say no to gambling]

Like Scott said mine was all done with my phone and have the same name on them Santeda Intl
