Amidst the doom and gloom I thought I would report a positive story.
Got contacted today by Steven Bedwell of Luxbet because I opened an account with them last week and he wanted to give me a point of contact.
During our conversation I mentioned I had missed the $250 start up bonus for reasons that escaped me. Within 2 minutes it was in my account!
Long live Luxbet. Seems they have the right attitude to customer relations, at least for now.

Happy days! Grin

I should also mention Steven made me an offer for referrals so if any of you want the sweetheart deal I have some goodies for you.

Cheers

Report CrazySnake August 15, 2012 7:14 AM BST
Nope, didnt feel the need to. I dont bet horses so I doubt it matters that much.
Should I have?
Report logroller August 15, 2012 7:28 AM BST
yes

I just emailed him and asked the question. What answer do you expect me to get?
Report CrazySnake August 15, 2012 7:36 AM BST
This was the answer I got:

Chris,

There is no set limit, our racing/sport bookmakers are the ones that determine that.

We have customers that bet in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on sport events and hold large bets on racing also.

It is a hard question that has no exact answer but we will try and accommodate the best we can depending on the event.

Regards,

Dear Miss CrazyShrek

We have decided to close your account immediately after reading your posts on the Betfair Forum.
Your endless claims of being the GOAT quite frankly have us worried.  If you are even 10% as
good as you claim you are we have no chance against such a living legend as your good self.
I'm sorry but you will have to make your annual profit of $4,682,402,567.87 on the AFL elsewhere.

Have a nice day

VK,

Get a real life you idiot.

"It is a hard question"

............well it's not IMHO, rather "it's hard for us to give a definitive concrete answer as we continually adjust any possible outcome using the dictates of self interest".

SU,

Like you, and forgive my presumption, I am a cynic first. I will believe what I experience rather than what they tell me. First impressions were good, but truth will out.
On a side note, I nearly fell off my chair today. I think my TAB account just got restricted as well. I can still go to an agency and bet anonymously, but who the hell wants to do that every day???

TAB has a lap on the rest of them

CrazySnake...why would you accept the $250 when they have a $500 free bet openly advertised on the internet? Luxbet have become one of the worst bookmakers...their promotions are now garbage...their odds updates are too slow....and you will get barred or forced to accept tote prices only. They were good once but not now.

Well my message was in red, but a message nonetheless.
I am a sports bettor. I thought all this crap only applied to racing punters.

At the start of this season I said to my wife it would be my last, but it was by my choice, not theirs. Now I feel like soldiering on because these bastards have been so sh!t about it. I might take their money for one more year. Had they left me alone I would have gone quietly.
Report CrazySnake August 15, 2012 10:59 AM BST
My intent behind this thread was to show I wasn't averse to giving credit where it was due. It appears I have gone off a bit early.
Luxbet is sh!t in the eyes of those whose opinions I value. I shall look forward to being grossly disappointed in the very near future Excited
Report Khan321 August 15, 2012 11:07 AM BST
Luxbet have been great until recently when they downgraded all harness meetings to mid tote rather than have some best of NSW / Vic, so now they're no different to the rank and file corps.
