This is subject to any of the said events being in connection with the Betrebels account and/or the claim in question.

Hi Cosmopolitan1,

Far from being "blurred" I would have said the above communication is rather clear regarding what BetRebels view the problem to be. The quoted terms cover fraud, placing bets on behalf of 3rd parties and the operation of more than a single account. In short, BetRebels are saying that they believe you are either part of a syndicate or your account is being operated by someone other than the named account holder.

I'll contact the operator and see what we can find out for you but I have to be clear that if they have evidence to demonstrate that the above is accurate there is nothing that we can or will do to help you.

Thanks,

Hi Cosmopolitan1,

Bet Rebels have refused to discuss your case with this service and have asked that we direct you to submit your complaint to the Malta Gaming Authority.

Unfortunately that means there is nothing further we can do to assist you with this issue.

Ok!

Thanks!

I will surely get in touch with the Malta Gaming Authority.
