Preface: The situation I write about below has now been resolved. You can read more through this link.
Ladbrokes is refusing to pay out the 8/1 odds I took on Seth Rollins to win at Money in the Bank last night.
I checked into my account earlier on this morning and found the firm had settled the bet as a £10.67 return instead of the £90.00 I was expecting.
The bet was placed at 8:24pm BST, keep this in your thoughts.
I contacted customer services to query why I wasn't paid the correct amount. The employee told me that there had been an error and Rollins was meant to have been 1/3 at the time.
Let's overlook the fact that £10.00 into 1/3 does not equal £10.67 for a moment.
Ladbrokes wasn't the only firm I placed a bet on Rollins with yesterday evening. I also had a £40 bet on him over on the Paddy Power website.. He was available at 7/2 six minutes AFTER the Ladbrokes bet.
Paddy Power settled the full amount.
So, Ladbrokes is using the technical error excuse where I know that Seth Rollins was more than 1/3 across all the European sportsbooks at the point my bet was struck. Rollins, as noted in yesterday's post, had opened as an 11/2 outsider. He absolutely was not a favourite over here when my bet was struck.
In my opinion, this is bad form. The staff member told me there was little chance of getting any help from IBAS, but I have gone that route to see if I can get any assistance on this matter.
I'll share with you the results of this.
What I will do for now is recommend you not to bet on WWE with this firm because of their refusal to pay out the full winnings.
The excuse that Rollins was meant to have been 1/3 is also flimsy considering the return they gave was £10.67. £10 on at 1/3 should be £13.33, so even if they do want to use the technical issue excuse, they're cheating me.

Got the same issues David with Ladbrokes told me that it was a technical error and refused to payout on Seth Rollins!
ReplyDeleteThe exact same thing happened with me. I bet £10 on Seth Rollins @8/1, they're now giving me back £10.67. I also placed a pretty big parlay on Coral that included Roman Reigns earlier, so I needed this win to not lose money for the night. Ironically, I also had another parlay with Ladbrokes that included the 8/1 Seth Rollins and it fully paid out. Unfortunately they only let me bet £2.50 so I didn't get that much. Fuck Ladbrokes, fucking pricks.
