I'm a newcomer to Unibet but not to online betting.
Please tell me what, if anything, is wrong with my understanding of Unibet's T's & C's, in these HYPOTHETICAL circumstances:
1) I am interested in betting on only one event, say it's the outcome of a US football match, Team A vs. Team B, the favourite.
2) I back A, on whose winning Unibet offers 2:1 odds.
3) I want to wager £10,000 on A winning, and to this end immediately make a bank transfer of that amount to Unibet.
4) However, when, as soon as their system lets me, I try to place that amount on A winning, without any pre-warning the actual odds I am asked to confirm on the betting slip are:
£100 at 2:1 and £9,900 at 1:1
which is unacceptable to me.
5) I either decline (my settings don't automatically accept changes to odds - I'm not nuts) or take up the offer for £100 at 2:1.
6) I am not interested in any other betting except this, so I then try to withdraw the balance (£9,900 or £10,000 as the case may be)
7) Unibet cancel the withdrawal request, citing their rules, even though it is they who didn't honour (they don't have to) their offer of odds (which were always subject to confirmation).
While this would be manifestly unfair/unjust, is my understanding of what they could do here correct?
Litigating against bookies over gambling contracts is usually fraught; the starting point is unenforceability. Here it would be harder as their contract appears clear though inequitable.
HELP! I tried phoning help, but all the gentleman would say was that it would have to be taken up with Unibet's Security Team if this happened.
Withdrawal cancelled though it was Unibet who changed the odds from what they were when the deposit was made?
