8 times rollover may be a little excessive for me IMO. It'll be almost a year before you even think about withdrawing money. But 75% bonus is solid

Last night at aroung 5 am European time there was nothing to gamble on. So I checked my emails. There was a nice offer from some Nigeria based sportsbook. They offered me a 250 % bonus up to a maximum of 10000 $. The only rule was that I had to make one in running bet on a second Nigerian league soccer match.

I thought this is a great deal because in case i win i have more than enough money in the account. I called them and they said the odds on the favourite are 1.03 (to win) against the last placed team which had just one draw of 21 matches and no wins. They told me i have to hurry because the game starts in 5 minutes. So I made a cc deposit of 4 k and bet it all on the favourite.

Then I did some research and found out that there is no site offering a second league table, fixture or livescores. This was the first time i was a little afraid about my money but I thought some easy bucks and I did not have to clear the bonus. I was told I can cash it right away. About 30 minutes after the game started i called them again and asked for the current score. They told me my team leads 3-0 and asked me if I want to make another deposit on my team at 1.01 with 100 % bonus. I declined that this time.

At halftime I called again and they told me my team leads 4-0 but is down to 8 players. I said: WHAT ???? How comes? They said there were some fights in the team and the players were sent off. I was offered a bonus again but declined.

One hour later I called again and asked for a W/D of my money. Guess what: They told me my acct is blank. I said wtf and was told my team lost 4-5. I asked for a site where i can look up the result and the clerk hung up.

So I learned my lesson last night and lost 4k. Sad, sad day for me and this is no joke.

That's okay if you handle it with patience. Now and then are always sure winners, eg Liverpool in CL today ...

Good luck!

Sometimes life is about taking chances or you might miss out on a good opportunity. Sometimes you get burned. IMO, a sharp person learns from mistakes and tries to help others not make the same mistake.

Rome,
I think you'll be ok, since you were able to deposit with credit card. If you think its a scam, you should be able to dispute charge. If they were scamming people, I'm shocked they would except cc's. I don't ever play soccer, but I wonder if anyone at Pinnacle could get you the score of the game or even if their was a game?

good luck
