Hi guys,
please can you give me some help. I am from Belgium and recently the goverment made Paddy Power pull out of the country. I have a account with paddy power and had open bets before this happened. I tried to log in today and they have closed the account. I talked to their support and they reopened the account so I could withdraw the money and they they said they would close it again. This was great. They then told me they were going to cancel all my open bets, now obviously I have some big winning bets which should come in. The 2 biggest are 100 euros on robin van persie to be top goalscorer in the premier league at 10/1 and I also have 100euros on lionel messi to be top champions league goalscorer at 9/4. Currently with paddy power RVP is 1/8 to win his market and messi is 1/3 to win his market. I also have other bets such as david silva to be PFA player of the year all of which have been cancelled, they did cancel some other bets which are probably going to lose but its nowhere near the amount I should get when the bets above come in.
Do I have any chance of taking this further and making paddy power honour the bets they took?
Who could I go and talk to take this further?

Tricky one this. There was a firm that closed last year called Eurosport and they initially cancelled all open bets but then backtracked after people kicked up a fuss.
Here is not like the whole operation is closing down either, just in a certain country and the bet was legal at the time of placement. I have no idea who you take this up with other than getting hold of somebody senior at PP. They have no doubt contacted all people in Belgium with similar bets that won't be winning to let them know they have a surprise bonus waiting to be claimed from their old account?.......hmmmmmm I bet not. |

Funnily enough Centrebet did exactly the same thing to UK clients recently when it pulled out of the UK. There maybe a legal requirement to do so. Its terrible PR but clearly PR in Belgium is of no concern to them anymore. I would email paddypower and copy in sportsbookreview.com oddschecker.com and betbrain.com. Perhaps they can give you a fair value for you portfolio of bets.

Take it high up, be honest and say things like you're not pretending you've moved from Belgium. Do as Clydebank says and cc anything where you are reasonable and they are uncooperative to sportsbookreview, oddschecker etc. They should be persuadable in your favour.

This sounds kind of strange. PP closed all canadian accs a year or so back yet they let an ante post bet of mine stand.

Fuuny how you never hear from anybody happy and joyful that losing long term bets are being voided ?
Are there none ? |

I had 3 bets voided with centre, one was a loser, 2 were winners - the stake from the voided losers was far more than the winnings from the winners...
so yes, happy  and joyful  etc |
