    I agree pompey24. Corporates sometimes weak as p... Dog fields in perth not a big money spinner so they don't like winners. You obviously were in the positive so they shut you down. I bet the site is the one Matty Campbell is associated with.

    I have never bet with them, so I can't speak from personal experience. 

    I was going to open an account, until a mate of mine who had an account with Luxbet, was banned because he showed a profit of $1,800 over a 9 month period. My mate never has more than $50.00 on a horse and his average bet is 20 bucks.

    Another mate of mine, who is a greyhound gambler was banned by IAS, Sportingbet and Sportsbet because he finished on average $160.00 in front over a 12 month period.

    These two incidences, stopped me from even opening an account with the grubs.

    The facts are plain for everyone to see. If they think that you are going to win off them, irrespective of the amount, they will bar you. They only want losers., and preferably big losers.

    What anyone who is barred needs to do, is contact your local racing reporter, bring them the evidence that you have, and ask them to print it.These Corporates, are no longer in Australian hands, so unless the reporter is in the pocket of the Corporate, then there is no reason for him not to write the story.

    My mate who won the $1,800 off Luxbet, gave the story to a leading Melbourne racing journalist who my mate has asked me not to name. The journalist chose not to write the story, because Luxbet are a division of Tabcorp, and Tabcorp pay for the form guides that appear in the journalists newspaper.

    I reckon going to A Current Affair, or Today tonight is a better way of doing it. They have no allegiance to any Corporate and love these stories. 

    The bottom line is, they are all grubs preying on losers and hating winners irrespective of how little the punter wins.

    I suggest that you switch your business to Punta.com.

    Actually switched to Centrebet and haven't had a problem so far, although noticed that you can get on the gallops right up to the jump,but with the trots it is closed at advertised starting time no matter how late they run,which can be frustrating,when they often run late but you still can't get on .

    I believe ias and sportsbet are connected. Same prices and same betting summary software etc.
    Centrebet and sportingbet same pricing and software.
    Luxbet and tabcorp ditto.
    They all love taking your money but are quick to suspend you or reduce your investment when they fear they may not finish in the positive. Pretty frustrating.

    I reckon you could get a story out of A Current Affair
    With all the ads on tv from the bookies promoting their product, the money back specials and range of other promos etc, a current affair could easily approach them and question why they are so keen to get you onboard yet just as quick to ban you as soon as you show a winning trend
    Would make great viewing that plenty of victims could relate to

    London’s third major player, Ladbrokes, announced on Wednesday a $22.5
    million acquisition of local company Gaming Investments, which runs
    bookmaker.com.au. The Brisbane company was founded by Dean Shannon, who
    established the internet pornography division of AdultShop.

    You'd be able to buy Player for $100 bucks The Funkster
    Would that be too much?
