BOOKIE WONT PAY OUT WINNING BET!!! HELP PLEASE,,
So I placed a bet today with a leading UK Bookmaker, the bet was placed online and I obtain all odds, time of event and all other bet details on my account. I placed a in play bet of £37.50 on a team at 100/1 but the bookies are refusing to pay at them odds and have paid me 1/8. after contacting them for help I'm informed that an error took place and they will not pay the odds of 100/1 as agreed on the online betting slip.

Can they really do this? has this happend to you? if so what was the result.

They say in the terms and cons that if an error takes place then they are in the right not to pay, Only I am not accepting this.

I'm pretty sure that by using the service, you have agreed to the terms and conditions laid out on the website so you probably won't have much luck but I wish you well.

as one of the leading UK bookie firms I really expect them to honour the bet that they offered the odds on and accepted.

if the boot was on the other foot and I placed a bet of 100 rather than 10 adding an extra 0 by mistake would they refund me the 90 of a losing bet? NO,,,,I want my winnings from this market leader! their fault not mine. if they fail to pay me then they shouldn't be allowed to operate as a business....

I will contact the MSM and see if they want the story! along with some legal advise

Legitimately 100/1 odds or unreasonable? If there's a catalogue price type error I don't think you're going to get far.

why don't you just TELL us?

it's not as if we'll change the result, or anything. just tell us what the game was, what the bet was, and what the odds you were offered was

Books don't pay out on error lines. None of them do. If it's a leading bookmaker, it's in their rules as well, which you should go read.

But the above poster had it right:

Stop Gambling.

Give The Consumer Action Group a try for advice.
The forums there are huge so I'd post in "general" and ask them to move it to the appropriate section

If you have undeniable evidence sue them. But first read the terms and conditions that you automatically accept prior to betting. Maybe they are refusing your bet depending on some kind of trick in those terms.

They are calling it some error on their part and are paying the 1/8 they claim it should have been. However I have the receipt that states 100/1 on it on my online account, I have contacted a major news paper and a number of forums and advisory/action groups. in my eyes they have stole my winning money,,,similar story with betfair not only a few months back!!! interesting they didnt pay out 23mil and they lost more than that value on their share price! = [link to www.channel4.com]

I advise you to keep complaining, and be mean when you do it.


Bookies don't have in the Terms/AUP that your 'online currency' is actually a zero-value non-tangible and has NO cash value until withdrawn -- meaning they can take it all from you if they want.


Keep pushing.

Tell them you are going to write an open letter in a national paper to bring attention to their business practices. That might motivate them.

Re: BOOKIE WONT PAY OUT WINNING BET!!! HELP PLEASE,,
the fact that another betting service lost more than 23mil in value off share price when they refused to pay up should really remind bookies that they are not invisible,,,its a dangle carrot situation that they change the rules to suit themselves,,,

Of course there's a trick.

They post outrageous odds, on a game that's considered to be a lock, and then people like the OP make a small wager, thinking what the fuck.

It's called a sucker bet where I come from.

If by some miracle the underdog wins the bookie just says the posted odds were a mistake and refuses to pay.

Happens all the time.

That's why they they call it a sucker bet.

The fact that I have the bet receipt (Contract according to UK gaming law set in 2005) I have the upper hand surly, how can this huge company get away with improper practise like this. if I made a mistake and put an additional 0 on a bet would they refund me the loss back? NOPE! bad play on their part....I'm now out of pocket as I accounted for this winning bet only to let down by this improper conduct.
