Bookie pays out 3x amount by mistake

Mon Jul 20, 2015 12:16 pm

Hi Guys,

"X" bookie wire transfered 3x my balance by mistake and emailed asking back for the extra amount in exchange of a generous reward, what would you do? to pay or not to pay?:)

What's the payment method? If its e-wallet there is a pretty good chance they will be reversing it themselves... Could be true about other methods also!

As they noticed that, then I would pay. There are plenty of cases when they don't notice anything and then I am not bothering them :)
Inform us about this "generous reward". Is that a bonus money or free bets? If so, then you can still get advantage of that.

Thing is i am done with that bookmaker and was withdrawing my balance for good when this happened, and considering the hassle they put through to get my money i am not sure i will go for the "good will gesture"

Also bear in mind that if the amount is in couple of thousands, then they might try to get it back through the bank or even sue you. If that's not your own account, I would not risk that.
