191. Black Markets (8)

Let’s talk more generally about my Black Market experiences. I went into it with my eyes wide open. I expected plenty of issues and they didn’t disappoint. I had a 100% strike rate of having issues with these companies. People saying what did you expect and taking great enjoyment from it. It misses the bigger point.

People are being forced to use these types of options with the way the market is going in the UK. Whether that be from betting restrictions, affordability checks or how these companies actually market themselves as non Gamstop companies. The use of these companies will only increase significantly.

I am not looking for sympathy by posting these threads. I am not trying to humblebrag as has been suggested (I have no interest in revealing overall P/L except positive). I simply want to raise awareness as to the experiences I had with them. Exactly what happened and what people can expect. I don’t want it to happen to others. Ultimately, I had £53762 stolen from me. Balances not paid out. Most of the money owed were winnings as such.

It can be really tricky to know what the situation is with the licensing and whether it is a fake license or not. I am amazed that the software supplier to all these companies Usoftgaming doesn’t come under more scrutiny from the Curacao regulators. It doesn’t reflect well on Curacao and the industry there. Just be really clear that if you head down these paths that there is a great chance that you won’t get paid out what you are owed. It is the Wild West out there and there is pretty much no recourse. These companies love nothing more than just keeping your money. Literally stealing it.

I have had so many people contact me telling me they have had issues with these various companies. It is not just me. It is not just at some of the bigger stakes. I just have one wish and that is that you share the tweet far and wide so that people know the following companies should be avoided and simply cannot be trusted;

God Odds

Playhub Casino

Magicwin

Superb bet

Avoid anything based in Curacao. 

This is what Twitter should be about. Media and content creators who have significant audiences advising caution to their followers. If people are aware of the issues and then still use them there is not much you can do.

I have hardly seen anyone actually mention Black Market specifics. Andrew Rhodes and the Gambling Commission are just utterly deluded if they don’t think there are any issues here. If just one person avoids these companies as a result of these tweets then job done.
