does the Small Claims Court cover Quinnbet since they are an Irish company?

By:
A friend of mine took Ladbrokes to the SCC and they never showed up as they didn't have a leg to stand on. IBAS ruled against him fwiw. By all means use IBAS, but the problem with IBAS is you don't know what evidence the bookmaker in question is submitting, which may well be full of untruths and it's just going to delay things, which my gut instinct is what will happen in this instance. Personally, if you can't resolve things with Quinnbet, I'd go straight to the SCC, if they have jurisdiction.

I looks like Quinbet will be long gone before anything reaches any court.

By:
I would also suggest you get in touch with Rick Bardsley. Perhaps start a Facebook and Twitter group to get the attention of other people shafted in this way? There is power and publicity in numbers. Maybe use the Information Commission as a means of getting information they are withholding from you?

Quinnbet going to cease trading Brian? I seem to recall they were making record profits?

Quinnbet is the trading name of two gib companies and one in london as per the UKGC site. Just illustrating the difficulties of establishing who you are actually dealing with. You would have thought that the most basic regulator would insist that UK law pertains to all contracts and a UK address is available for service of legal notices. As an aside the RoI doesn't enforce gambling contracts.

Hope you understand how the scc works.Even if you win the other party don't have to pay.Nothing you can do.
|

By:
Obtaining a County Court judgement against the likes of Quinnbet almost guarantees recovery of monies ordered by the Court even if they refuse to pay SQ. All that is required is a High Court Writ via the Sheriffs Office, doubtful they would not pay when bailiffs turn up, all costs involved also recoverable by the plaintiff. hth

Take them to Court right now.

"Even if you win the other party don't have to pay. Nothing you can do." I don't believe that is true. I have known friends take this route against (not betting companies) suppliers and once the case is won, the court has done all the work - eventually they will, as CG says, send the bailliffs in - and all the costs of recovery are levied against the loser of the case. |

My claim has been allocated a case manager with IBAS. I'd like to think that if Quinnbet allege i've breached ts and cs then IBAS will want to see evidence.

What was that exchange that shafted everyone years ago?

A great advert for looking for new bookmakers. With a bit of luck and help from IBAS you might even get paid.

What was that exchange that shafted everyone years ago? Do you mean Betfair with the Premium Charge ![]() |

By:
We should all be so lucky to be paying the Premium Charge.

Genuine question - why go with an independent (although some would see as a far from) IBAS when you could go straight to the small claims court?

"What was that exchange that shafted everyone years ago?"
Sporting Options went bust in 2004/05 including losing most of the supposedly 'ring-fenced' customer funds on deposit, but as I recall Betfair bailed out most of the punters? |
|
By:
That's it Sporting Options and like you say ring fenced deposits were lost.
In answer to your question Lee Ho Fooks a i have no experience of small claims court b i can submit my IBAS complaint in 15 minutes from my lap top and the service is free c if IBAS don't rule in my favour ( i cant see why they wouldn't but perfectly understand how the whole thing works, and they may not) then i can go down the small claims route, if Quinnbet still exist that is. |

By:
don't have to know much binned. sending them an LBA (letter before action, plenty downloadable) would let them know you're not fking around and would have escalated your affairs with them past the "just ignore the cnt" stage.

hulk do you know if gibraltar has a small claims procedure?
|
|
By:
likelyhood of IBAS getting back to you before they get liquidated is remote, just write the money off and rest in the knowledge that their world is crashing down around them
|
|
By:
Had a mate who went through Ibas on a dispute with bet 365 about a goal scorer bet. It was all sorted in a week.

By:
Even if the service provider or trader is based abroad, you can have your case heard in your home country if the company is commercially or professionally active in or towards your country.
for dave the rave ... |

By:
hulk, i think your googling got "eu small claims procedure" - not sure that is valid info. I would guess that there wouldn't be a problem taking them to court in the uk, but service of papers and enforcement of a successful judgement might involve retaining a gibraltar lawyer.
|
|
By:
Of course this wouldn't be an issue if the UKGC insisted on a UK address for legal purposes and UK banking for that matter. I'm waiting with interest for the Peoples Republic of China to open a gambling site to harvest the vast info available from affordability checks.

from the UKGC website: "Your correspondence address must be based in the United Kingdom." |
|
By:
Quinnbet for eg doesn't appear to have such an address on its website (at a glance) and I'd be surprised if it was unique. btw a correspondence address for the gambling commission isn't necessarily a correspondence address for all purposes.

Registered office address
Office 18, Killyhevlin Business Centre 3 Blackstick Road, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, BT74 4EB Enniskillen is still in the occupied territories |
|
By:
That isn't an address that appears on their website and I'm not sure if the UK gambling act applies in northern ireland or if gambling contracts are enforceable.
|
|
By:
mrcombustible,
Enniskillen is still in the occupied territories? |
|
By:
btw the only point I'm trying to make is, that where internet betting is concerned, legal action really isn't straightforward.

Again from the UKGC website "The Gambling Act 2005 and Gambling (License & Marketing) Act 2014 apply to Great Britain and Northern Ireland for remote gambling." |
