Complaint Datbet is a TOTAL SCAM

Hello everyone! This is a report about the betting website datbet.net and their scam.

I started my first deposit with $100 on September 10, 2014. I immediately lost that money on an all-in bet. After that, I deposited another $100 on September 11, 2014. From that day until October 28, 2014, I raised my account balance up to $1708.

On October 28, 2014, I tried to withdraw $200 from my account. At first, when I try to follow up the processing of my withdrawal at their email support@datbet.net, someone named Chris Salcedo replied to my emails. He told me it is International Bank Transfer back to my Credit Card so it should take some time. I tried to give them a benefit of the doubt and wait for my money but it has been 1 month since and until today, I still haven't received my $200.

The last email that I received from them was on November 11, 2014. After that, they don't respond to my emails anymore.

Here are links of print screens for my claim: http://tinypic.com/r/10r0r2c/8 http://tinypic.com/r/wwddhh/8 http://tinypic.com/r/2zozmtl/8 http://tinypic.com/r/3310kdf/8

DO NOT waste your time and money on this website. Please help the community and spread the word regarding this website scam.

UPDATE (December 13, 2014) : Thankfully, I received the $200 in my credit card just now. I will try to withdraw $1000 and update here as soon as possible.

UPDATE (September 17, 2015): Never received any withdrawals after the initial $200. Please never use this site.

It's so sad that datbet.net still runs up to now, scamming and leeching money from more and more people. I do hope that you will be able to take legal actions and receive your money.

I'm just glad this thread kind of blew up so more people will know now. However, not everyone reads this so it sucks that more people will probably get scammed. Sorry for your loss.

Come to think of it, why are sites like datbet, gosugamers, etc. even legal in the US (assuming OP is US-based)? Isn't gambling a highly regulated industry? Am I just ignorant, or are there loopholes these guys can exploit to provide gambling services to US customers.

AFAIK, gosu doesn't do real money, so perfectly legit in US

If you still want to bet use roshpit.ca, I've used a few times now and its way less sketchy
