Crime & Punishment

Good evening guys and girls.

So i recently just found the eve bet website and it looked like a good idea, So i played a little bit with them and everything was going smoothly. Did not win 1 bet but that was my fault for picking bad teams

A few evenings ago i put a bet on and it had a wrong team in the bet that i did not actually want to bet on, i sent a message to the admins asking if they could get it rectified and they rectified it for me. No harm done on either side.

2 days ago i placed a bet and accidently left a team out, i sent them this mail via hotmail.

" hey guys i just put this bet on could you void it for me i forgot to add a selection. it dosent start for another 45 mins but if it has started by the time you read this please leave the bet as it is cause i would still prefer the single selection to nothing :P"

i checked and made sure the selection was still on at kick off time and it was, which was fine, was my mistake.
The bet lost which again is not an issue.

Well this evening i decided i wanted to place a bet on the rugby. I quickly put 1 billion isk on this guy and deposited the isk to the eve bet corporation as eve bet runs off an api system that runs every 30 mins and there was only 2 mins left to get the funds to my account.

I then proceed to try log into my eve bet account out of game but it was not letting me log in so i thought id check my mail to see if the password has been changed or anything.

I had this mail in my inbox

"Thanks for bringing this to our attention, your new account has been banned.

I really dont understand what is going on, maybe i was betting too high amounts of money and they got scared? but comming from a website who claims "62,869,053,780,043 ISK bet so far on EVE Bet!" i seriously doubt that.
I have eve mailed them back asking for an explination and why they ran off with my money but no reply as of yet.

The wierd thing is they say "thanks for bringing this to our attention your "NEW" account has been banned.
new??? Im thinking they maybe had somebody else who used to screw them around with bets to try screw them out of money and think im the same guy i dont know. Either way at this point they have 1bn isk of my money and have no replyed to my mails.

I would not trust eve bet at this point. they have the potential to steal your isk and not give the service they are offering!!!
Is there eve rules about this?? can somebody offer a service out of game paid with in game currency but just steal it and not provide the service??

any help appreciated

i have asked them and recieved no reply. thats why im here now

Perhaps waiting more than two days before screaming on the forums might be an idea?

No.

Reading that OP maybe, maybe a good idea not to bet until you know what you're doing. :o

Consequences will never be the same.

Stop betting when drunk/high.

I mean you submitted several improperly filled bets in as many weeks, as well as tickets to correct for your own mistakes (and theirs).

Anyways I think this kind of out-of-game use of ISK is an abomination.
I wouldnt use them, and if you get scammed doing so, thats your own problem.

Because its not directly under CCPs auspices or the EULA, feel free to go ahead and file a police report.
Takes about an hour (in a moderately developed first world country) and the police and prosecutor can then decide whether it possibly constitutes a crime and whether to investigate and possibly prosecute.

wow.
You are completley out of your mind if you think i was a previous staff member...
That explains why you stole my isk but you are completley wrong.

1 billion isk is not a back breaking amount of isk, but its the principle.

If I can't win on the lottery, something tells me I won't do much better anywhere else...

I suggest that next time you arm yourself with a jar of mayonnaise and use a legitimate ISK doubler.
