Betway introduces new rule against arbers, players on forums call it a license to steal

The Malta-based bookmaker introduced a new rule stating that if they suspect any player of being involved in Match Betting or Arbitrage Betting, they will be entitled to withhold all funds.
While several other bookmakers have similar rules and at Bookmakers Review we generally look at how they are applied before considering them as a criteria for our rating procedure, Betway had already stated in 2008 that they would use rules to suspend accounts if they perceive harm to their site.
And in a recent e-mail to a player they went as far as say that using odds comparison web sites could be considered a suspicious activity.
Betway downgraded to 2.5 (3-)
