You can win, you can’t take it away
In the fight against bookmakers, any means are good. Deceived people even appeal to the Supreme Court. Promised millions, cars and all winnings in general are increasingly turning out to be fake. More precisely, you really win a prize, but you can’t get it. What the bookmakers say about a technical failure, then about some other mistakes. And as a result, this fight most often turns out to be the norm. A person is simply forced to accept defeat.
At first glance, it is so convenient and profitable to work with offshore bookmakers. No need to go to the betting shop with a passport, no need to register. There is no need to pay taxes on winnings. Many betters were tempted by these imaginary advantages. And then they asked for help. Because they found out: it turns out that illegal immigrants are not obliged to pay winnings.

How we are deceived by fraudulent bookmakers after registering and making a deposit
- They demand to pay extra tax on the winnings. A legal office can pay taxes for betters if it is registered as a tax resident. But the amount of tax is deducted from the amount of payments, and not added to the balance.
- In addition to taxes, fraudsters can demand a bank commission, or fines for fictitious violations of the rules.
- Block or delete accounts and accounts. An extremely common deception of bookmakers. Legal bookmakers also ban players for violating the rules. But only scammers throw betters without explanation.
- They offer to make a payment for the bonus amount. Yes, bonuses should be won back from official bookmakers. And the coefficients at the same time are not the most profitable. But to demand an additional payment for a bonus – only scammers are capable of this.
- They misrepresent the details of the betters’ cards. And then they pretend that they honestly forwarded the winnings, but the player himself made a mistake when entering the number, and therefore let him look for his money himself.
- The terms of verification are not specified in the rules. With this epic excuse, betting companies deceive players most often. After requesting all kinds of documents for verification, the wait stretches for weeks. The calculation is that the betters will not hold back, they will start betting and lose.
