  1. Hey Unibeters,Due to the responses received from several of my existing fantasy CricketXI players I have decided to run my two (Classic & Head to Head) small stakes fantasy money leagues on this season's Metro Bank One-Day Cup. This will probably only be of interest to folk in the UK or ex pats of the UK (but any ones welcome to join in - if you like cricket or wanna get into it join it).I’ve just set up my 2 leagues - one is an open league where you’re all on a ladder based on your total fantasy points scored. The other is a head-to-head type league where you play one other team from the league each round and you win, lose or tie. A win is 4 points, a Tie 2 points and a loss 0. That decides your position in the league with tie breakers to split teams such as points % (difference between points scored and points scored against you).Also, I think in the head-to-head league the top 6 teams will make the finals (and play across the 3 final rounds) but am trying to get CricketXI to confirm this.I host all my fantasy games rules, winners history and what have you on TFP (TheFanPub) forum to have one central place folk from all over the internet/world can go to at any time see what I have going on and refer back to rules, payouts etc.So just wanted to make you cricket liking Unibeters aware as y'all welcome (as long as you've never previously welched on entry fees in a game of mine) to join any of my fantasy leagues.So if you fancy getting involved in £5 fantasy money league(s) for the Metro Bank 50 Over One Day Cup starting this Tuesday (1st August, 2023) head on over to TFP and have a read of my rules and follow the links to CricketXI's website where you can make up a team and feel free to join my money leagues using my league(s) codes (posted on TFP): Metro Bank One-Day Cup 2023 (CricketXI.com) - £5 Money Leagues
  2. i just found out Bet24 at some point was bought out by Unibet - I used to have a sports betting account with Bet24 and always wondered what happened to it as I had money in it - was my first ever online book maker I did online betting with and a little poker so I wonder what happened to that account when you guys took them over as I never got e-mails about a buyout nor ever saw my funds again? I think I forgot about it tbh as an old computer bust and when I got new one it was hard remembering all what sports betting & poker accounts I had and what deets was to log back in so just forgot about that one but recently saw an old logo (see below) online talking about Bet24 in another jurisdiction and it reminded me. Not the first time I've lost funds unfairly - many a time poker sites were here (ie Absolute Poker) and then there gone/merged and your deposits gone because you didn't see in time you had to do X, Y or Z. Sucks to think how many small balances I have lost through sites merging, going bust or pulling out of the UK market.
  3. Every time I click on Promos I see a huge page of offers and feel slighted that I can't avail myself of them - think I hardly log in to Unibet now as just go place my bets elsewhere after seeing who's got best price on Odds Checker. Just becomes a habit neglecting sports books that have gubbed or restricted you - thinking that's by design they actually want you to go away so I do going to ones that will let me avail of BOG or earna MBS free bet etc. I was never a huge Horse Racing better anyhow so but seems super strange to me I got the following internal message last November: RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS This communication refers to the betting account that you hold with UNIBET, specifically your eligibility for our Horse Racing Promotions. The decision has been taken to limit the number of accounts eligible for such promotions, and we regret to inform you that your account will no longer qualify for Online Racing Promotions and Best Odds Guaranteed. 17.2 Unibet reserves the right to make changes to the betting limits, pay-out limits and offerings and add or remove promotions at Unibet's discretion at an individual customer level.

  4. If you don't want to give me a bonus that's your progroative but why bloody hit me with targeted adds when I log in then not let me avail of it - today I loged in and got hit with this add to do a bet builder on 12:30 Leeds v Newcastle match and earn a free £5 bet to use on football over rest of weekend - accept when I click 'Opt In' yellow button the page that loads up is telling me I have no promos available? What's all that about - see the two screen shots - the first one is what loaded up for me each time i clicked opt in. Wasted 30 mins going round in circles and got so pee'd off am not gonna bet with you at all this weekend and go use another sports book - if the intention of your promos is to drive cusomers to ya rivals keep doing what ya doing - it works!
  5. The ranks are nice an all that - but pointless arn't they? They do not open up any promos or exclusives or anything do they? So ultimately whats the point of them, not really a loyalty scheme of any kind.
  6. So what gives? What is Unibet's reason for removing Pay Pal as an option for depositing and withdrawing? Did they charge you to much in fees? Be nice to know why a method I have used for years on most of my sports book accounts is now no longer an option on Unibet, not only that but it was just done on the sly sometime in 2022 with no e-mail to users that used Pay Pal or who have an open loop via that deposit method. Why no statement or e-mail to explain this move? When did it happened exactly - sometime in late 2022 is my best guess as according to my records I last deposited using Pay Pal on Unibet in August 2022 and withdrew the same way in November 2022 - both fine using Pay Pal? I seem to have got lucky by being able to close that loop before this happened but reading this forum it has caused many an issue as they can't seem to withdraw by other methods being told they must withdraw by method deposited - even though you have removed that method. Talk about one side of Unibet not knowing what another side has done. Not a good look. So please tell me why Pay Pal has become a no go partner for Unibet, what is the reason behind this move?
  7. I only bet a few horses here and there on Unibet over the last year and then got gubbed - told I can no longer get BOG or do any horse racing promos. This was a shock as I not only did not many bets (imo) on Unibet but also have been a loser consistently (am pretty well down) so it was right out of left field to be getting that e-mail. I thought only winners or arbers etc., had problems with restrictions on sports books but seems I was wrong on that. It sadly seems like it's not really a book making industry anymore but a profit driven business where only the degenerate losers are wanted and anyone else not deemed profitable in the long term is weeded out - the ALGORITHM SAYS NO!
  8. Am I allowed to advertise my fantasy sports leagues on this forum? I never thought about it and am sad I never filled my fantasy county cricket Head-to-Head small stakes money league (only got 11 players and max/wanted was 16). Just be good to know if I can spread word of my games here in future - always hard getting strangers to trust one online but spreading word is also hard as not many places to reach interested parties online. I currently use Discord, Facebook, Twitter and TheFanPub forum. This being a gambling forum just maybe people who like betting on sports would be more open to partaking in fantasy sports money leagues? So over to you Unibet mods....
  9. File an official complaint with the Gambling Commission and your local MP if your in UK as that is against the GC's code of conduct - delaying withdrawals to do verification checks when they could have done this at an earlier juncture is expressly mentioned as against the voluntary code of conduct UK licenced gambling firms agree not to do as best practice. Seeing how you actively tried to ask for verification when you joined and were told not to worry if you have such chat transcripts or proof in e-mail correspondence so you can prove this you can submit such and hopefully (GC are weak at enforcement) Unibet can be told off and if they break these rules to often can be fined. This practice is done deliberately to put off winners withdrawing in the hope users will cancel the withdrawal and lose the money betting or playing on more games while having lots of hoops to jump through before successful withdrawal. I can't withdraw my winnings (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)
  10. I am in the UK and it is redicilous that they have removed Netwallets like Pay Pay and Neteller etc., but not updated there terms and conditions or deposit info as it clearly still says Pay Pal is an option yet it never shows when you look for it. I came to deposit today and I only use Pay Pal as don't like exposing my bank deets. So Unibet have lost my business over this decision. I ended up taking slightly less good odds at other sports books today for all my football and horse racing bets today. Lose/lose for both of us. But if anyone from Unibet is in here how about updating your terms and conditions and deleting/updating your deposit methods information to match what you currently allow. Personally I think Unibet should be censured for not doing that - it's basic stuff making your T&C's / information match what is currently correct.
  11. @GR1ZZL3R Exactly that - they all pool info and share black lists plus run software to track you like lovation. Also maybe your an Exchange trader or work in the sports industry and it's on your linked-in or social media profiles. I myself have been a degenerate gambler and never was refused a bet or been KYC'ed when losing thousands in a day but as soon as I bet smart, I take offers, bet smart, have a purple patch and slowly increase my balances I have suffered restrictions, been gubbed or had account closed. So many Sportsbooks I'm no longer fully welcome at. Sooner UK (if ever to many MP's in industry's pocket,) gets a minimum bet law and then not allowed to refuse business the better. Until then I am limited where I bet. Now a leading questions do you like fantasy sports - do you do money leagues?
  12. Now I have heard about accounts being restricted because they win or show sharp practice, beat the true odds etc., but this is the first time I have been excluded from such promo's without hardly betting the GG's on Unibet and not winning/turning a profit: RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS RACING INFO – HORSE RACING PROMOTIONS This communication refers to the betting account that you hold with UNIBET, specifically your eligibility for our Horse Racing Promotions. The decision has been taken to limit the number of accounts eligible for such promotions, and we regret to inform you that your account will no longer qualify for Online Racing Promotions and Best Odds Guaranteed. 17.2 Unibet reserves the right to make changes to the betting limits, pay-out limits and offerings and add or remove promotions at Unibet's discretion at an individual customer level.

  13. Never seen the American 'House of Cards' but know it was a remake of a great British TV series I watched many many years ago - it also had 2 sequels - 'To Play The King' and can't recall third ones title off the top of my head.
  14. Hey are you an NFL fantasy football fanatic - yes, then read on… Well if the answers yes please check out my 1 & Done game. I have 4 entries this year plus a guy in waiting that said he would come in if I get 5+. You have to pick a whole new entry each week of season including Playoffs. But you can never use choices (Head Coaches/Players/Team Defences) more than once. Hence name of game - 1 & Done. The other thing that makes it so hard is post season rounds are worth more points x2 (Wild Card), x3 (Divisional Playoffs) x4 (Championship Games) & x5 (Super Bowl). So it's a headache strategy wise. Do you use studs early but struggle in post season for good players to pick or do you save them but then discover they get hurt or don't make it as far as you thought and thus never get to use them? So much thought needs to go in each week plus you need to keep a check on your picks to make sure you've not used them prior. Its £20 for the season and all entry fee money goes back out as prizes so more entries makes the competition better. You can change your mind on your choices but rule is entry must be posted on the TFP (The FanPub) forum thread before first game of any day. Never edit an entry as I use the Post Times to validate entries so an edit invalidates it as it could have been edited after games start. Always make a fresh new post if changing mind on picks. Have a read of full rules (link below). It's like fantasy NFL leagues with points for Yards, TDs etc. All scoring is posted on the thread via pictures. There is a link to my spread sheet on Google sheets where I score everyone's points and you can see all other players entries (including mine - as I play to) with points updated all season long. I'm sure if you big into the NFL you'd like this game to play along side the season, so give it a chance (post your entry before tonights main slate of games start (just don't pick anyone from Thursday Nights game for this week now): TFP / BLM - NFL 1 & Done! - 2022/23 (£20 entry fee)
  15. I am an avid TV series and Box Set watcher - always have about 50 shows/series on the go at any one time. I just recently finished Justified. It takes me ages to finish things as I rotate them - so will usually do a season and then put it to back of queue. When I finish a TV series I do a little review on FB and give it a mark out of 10. Alas many series in the past it seems I forgot to rate or review but been keeping a list on my PC. I am a notoriously tight grader. Most things will get between 4-6 with me, below that I really did not like it - above that was really something that stood out and I enjoyed a lot. Nothing has ever gotten a 10 as there's always room for something better. Any way here's my Ratings Key: 0 - SUICIDE IS PREFERABLE 1 - WILL SEND YOU TO SLEEP - PERMANENTLY! 2 - BORING AS HELL 3 - BAD 4 - IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO 5 - WORTH WATCHING 6 - GOOD 7 - GREAT 8 - SUPERB 9 - TOTALLY AWESOME - STRAIGHT OUTTA MOVIE HEAVEN 10 - BETTER THAN SEX!
