Dear Readers,
July 7th 2024 at Novibet, I placed a Live Tennis Bet for the amount of CAD 2196$ (approximatively 1458€)
ATP Challenger of Trieste, Italy - Mats Hermans to win against Raul Brancaccio
Odds of 2.50 (+150)
(The odds were 9.00 / +800 at the beginning).
Potential winnings : CAD 5490$ (approximatively 3645€).
Mats Hermans won the first set 6-4.
He was also winning the second set 2-1, when Raul Brancaccio retired.
Novibet decided to void the bet and refund the initial bet amount.
Should they have instead refunded me the amount of cashout offered at that time? It was over 3000$ (2000€).
Otherwise, should they have settled the bet as winner because when Brancaccio retired, my player was leading comfortably the game, so the issue was determined at the moment of the retirement?
I made an internal complaint to their operator LogFlex MT Limited. They answered that it’s the rules and that the bet is voided correctly as per the terms and conditions.
I am a very active player in their platform, I deposit a minimum of 2000$ per month. I asked them to show their good will and compensate with a Sports Free Bet. They never accepted, even if they made a lot of profit with me.
After, I filled a complaint to eCOGRA. They took a lot of time to study the case and they protected the operator quite a bit, without empathy for the customer. They're supposed to be neutral, but they didn't give me that impression at all. I also asked them to show their good will and recommend Novibet to issue a compensation, but they ignored me.
Would things change if I made a complaint here on Casino Guru? Or you think I have other recourses or are my hopes nil?
That’s still more than 3000$ (2000€) lost as a result of yes badluck, but also their bad will.
Thanks a lot for your precious time and for your advices!
Yours Sincerely,
Olivier from Quebec, Canada.
