I dont gamble other than the Melbourne Cup but I wanted to place a bet on RFK jr because of the odds. I transferred money across and placed the bet. Sportsbet has a limit on that bet but doesn't tell you that before you transfer the money in for that bet. So basically they reduced the bet and now the remainder of the money is sitting in their coffers. So either I bet it to try to win my own money back or they keep it together. It's highway robbery. If they have a betting limit on an actual bet then they should be saying that upfront so you know not to deposit any more money than that amount. I have emailed Sportsbet and Andrew Wilkie because, quite simply, I have no interest in trying to win my own money back just because they have limits they don't publish anywhere on the bet before you deposit the funds to place the bet. It's the craziest "house-always-win" scenario I have ever heard of.Now they are saying they will refund the extra money but only if I provide my bank details. I have started a case with Paypal instead. I used Paypal so they wouldn't have my bank details. My advice is bet elsewhere. Sportsbet are shady and their customer service is trump-like in their non-answers to any questions you ask them. They couldn't provide a reason for limiting my bet with my money and ignored the part where I asked them why they didn't tell me about the maximum limit before I deposited the money. They disconnected me when I said I wanted the refund through pay pal as I did not trust them with my bank account details and then denied doing so when I immediately contacted them again.
