Blacklist: High-Risk, Not Recommended & Closed Betting Brokers

This blacklist highlights bet brokers that may pose increased risk to players, are not recommended, or are no longer active. Classifications are based on how these platforms treat users in real betting conditions.

Risk Categories Explained

Brokers on this list are grouped based on the level of risk they may pose to players and their current status on the betting market.

High Risk

In some cases, these brokers may operate normally, but using their services involves risk and caution should be exercised.

Not Recommended

These brokers are active but have demonstrated repeated problems that make them unreliable or unsuitable for most players.

Closed

Betting brokers who are no longer operating or accepting new users and are listed for informational purposes only.

Not Recommended Brokers

Pollytrading

Pollytrading has problems with communication and technical support. It is difficult to resolve issues. Regulatory problems mean that only one payment method is available. They require downloading unstable software onto your computer. They have ties to Brazilian broker Drinbet, which is also on this list.

Drinbet

Contacting this broker is extremely difficult, if not impossible. If you encounter difficulties, it is highly likely that you will not receive any assistance. In addition, there is a high percentage of low ratings from players who have had contact with Drinbet. At this time, we discourage using the services of this broker.

Premiumtradings

Premiumtradings has a monthly traffic of 68 visitors (Semrush data). Probable lack of liquidity. Another issue is the turnover requirements for requesting a withdrawal. The broker requires a turnover of x20 the deposit before withdrawal. The industry standard is 1-3 (max) turnover. There are also many negative reviews from players on authoritative forums such as SBR. At this time, we advise against using Premiumtradings.

High Risk Platforms

Bookielink

Bookielink is a niche broker with low traffic. They have a nice, modern website, but their rules are not transparent. There is not enough information to evaluate them clearly. For this reason, we advise caution when using Bookielink.

Closed Bet Brokers

Easysportbet

Easysportbet is a broker that ceased operations on November 1, 2024. The official reason given was the inability to meet regulatory requirements.

FAQ

No. Being listed here does not automatically mean a broker is a scam. This blacklist includes brokers classified as High Risk, Not Recommended, or Closed, based on different types of concerns or limitations. Some listings are warnings, others are informational, especially in the case of closed platforms. Each broker is marked in a specific category, and the mere presence on this list does not necessarily (but may) mean that the platform is a scam. It is worth reading the reasons, our comments, and paying attention to which category of the list a given broker is classified in before drawing conclusions.

Yes, a broker can be removed from the blacklist. However, it should be noted that this is more likely when the agent on the list is in the closed or high risk section. Simply put, when a platform is closed, but here too it depends on the reasons for the closure, whether they are simply related to the suspension of operations or whether they were related to unfair practices. If, on the other hand, the broker has been marked as “High risk,” it also depends on their history and any corrections made. The most problematic section is “Not recommended,” in which case it is definitely the most difficult to be removed from this list.

There are cases when brokers treat a given market as more important than others, which may affect the quality of services provided. However, this is extremely rare, and usually problems mean problems regardless of the player's location. Therefore, it should be assumed that this list applies to all markets.

In some rare cases, this may happen, and then such a bet broker is placed in the High Risk section, and it is always clearly stated that this is for verification purposes and temporary. There must also be grounds and reasons for such a platform to be included in this list, even temporarily. We never place any agents on this list too hastily.

No. Broker classifications are made independently and cannot be influenced by payments or commercial arrangements.
We do not accept compensation to add, remove, or change the status of any broker listed on this page.

The above list of problematic agents is updated continuously and on an ongoing basis. Updates may relate to changes in brokers' activities, user reports, newly available information on possible corrections, or new problems.
