I have, and without going into detail, I was conned by Sky Sports on a shot on target bet which they said was a cross, although 9/10 people said shot, they took 12 weeks to back up Sky Sports, a total waste of time.

Thanks. I think mine is fairly clear cut though. 5th game in an accumulator, first 4 all won. Last one was a random game in Kenya, needed over 2.5 goals and it was 1 all on 86 minutes. Home side get a penalty and the away team walk off. 3 days after the game Bet365 are now claiming 1 all was the result. Last result should have been void but has been settled as lost.

Wouldn’t the away team forfeit the game thus a home win?

See above reply! It’s not difficult to find out the last game was abandoned, really not sure where they’re getting their information from. It makes you wonder how accurate they are when you’re betting on games you can’t see!

Probably what will happen but for the purposes of an over 2.5 goals bet, if the game wasn’t completed it should be void.

Unfortunately the law is a bitch and as they have written in their terms and conditions.
I would suggest if you’re betting on Kenya friendlies then maybe there is a bit of an issue there as well mate, had a friend that used to bet on the Azerbaijan U18 league.
Just to clarify this rule is ridiculous but it’s written very clearly in their terms

This game wasn’t a friendly fortunately, it was in the Kenyan National League (which may suggest that if I’m betting on that then I have a different problem entirely!)
It’s not really even about the money although it’s a couple of hundred quid. More the way they’ve completely dismissed everything I’ve said. First they offered a £5 bet credit, I told them I didn’t want it but they sent it through anyway which pissed me off even more!

The moral of the story is don’t bet on noddy league games

Usually the bookies use Opta stats for these kind of bets, so default to them.

Can you share a link here to any news article about the game?
I had 94-0 in this Sierra Leone match for a fiver and I swear the 76th goal was offside

It states clearly in their terms and conditions if the full 90 is not played bets will be void, unless the game is a friendly. What reason have 365 given for not honouring this term out of interest?

They’re claiming it was the final score, not sure why.
Don’t muck about with IBAS, if you’re adamant and can prove that the game was abandoned then they’re clearly in breach of their own rules and should be paying you for your earlier winning selections.
Just take them to the small claims court they’re very unlikely to show and contest and will be liable for your costs in bringing the claim which should be £35 - £50…
Will probably close your account either way but that doesn’t sound like a great loss…
