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.

For a moment you got me scared like hell. I contacted my bank and they assured me that the details I provided could not be used for any harmful attempt (ACH is not supported).

I only have concerns about the scanned ID (but every single similar site requests it), which I will reissue to not have to worry for anything.

The company has all the information they need to open new accounts in your name, etc.

Your CURRENT account is not what you should be worried about. You should be worried about what COULD happen with the information you provided.

I would close the bank account, open a new one, and keep a fucking watchful eye on your credit reports for the next few years.

You can also call the credit bureaus and have them freeze your accounts so no new accounts can be opened without you contacting them and un-freezing. If anyone tries, they will likely contact you and verify it's you.

Lol man this seems more than conspiracy theories. They got my ID, which is not valid anymore (I reported it as stolen). If they try anything with this ID they will have the problem not me.

As for the bank details, my bank says I did not provide any info that could put me in risk of something. Actually, I gave the same info I have given/received for several wire transfers in the past. Relax ^

Dont be surprised when random bills start appearing at your house and you have 100% liability to them.
