    A bit of a disgrace that Ante Post Bets won’t be honoured at least until the end of Cheltenham only being a week away

    Dear Nathan,

    As of 5th March 2019, Dedsert (Ireland) Limited, trading as BetBright has ceased offering gambling services to its customers on a permanent basis.

    All existing accounts will remain open for withdrawals for a period of 30 days. For those customers with a balance, we advise logging in and withdrawing all remaining funds immediately. Those without a current or pending balance do not need to take any further action.

    Any unsettled bets on your account that are due to settle by midnight on 5th March 2019, will be settled as normal within this time. You are free to use the Cash Out facility where applicable. All bets that are due to settle past 5th March 2019 will have their unsettled legs made void.

    If you have any further questions, please refer to our FAQs below or our extended FAQ page HERE or furthermore, contact our customer support team HERE for more information.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I withdraw my balance?

    You can withdraw your balance by simply logging in and going to the withdrawal page HERE.

    Your account will remain open for 30 days from the 5th March 2019 to allow you withdraw your full balance.

    Please note that withdrawals to credit or debit cards can take between 2-5 business days to reach your account. Withdrawals to eWallet payment methods can take up to 1 business day.

    You have 30 days from 5th of March 2019 to withdraw your balance. During this 30-day period we will contact customers to encourage them to action withdrawals directly from betbright.com.

    After 30 days, you will be unable to access your account. We will then attempt to withdraw your balance to your existing payment method across a period of up to 60 days. Should you have an issue receiving payments in this time you should contact our customer support team.

    Thanks Steve
    I haven’t got an account with 888, they strike me as another two bob bit outfit
    might see what offers they are doing for next week in terms of free bets sign up offer
    Get what I can from them and stick them in the bin

    Yes, I took a look, they were offering bet 10 get 30 in freebets
    but the t@c’s say it needs to be done on a mobile which I tend to not bet on unless I’m away for a long time for whatever reason.
    part of myself discipline
    so yes, giving them a swerve

    I’m astounded that no journalist I can find has approached Ricci for comment

    888 apparently will honour Cheltenham bets but nothing else

    What about this poor sod

    The Guardian has seen details of two bets placed by the same BetBright customer last year. The first was a £100 each-way double on Luton in League One at 14-1 and Lincoln in League Two at 10-1. The second was a £25 each-way Trixie – three doubles and a treble – on Lincoln (4-1), Leeds United in the Championship at 5-1 and Arbroath, in League One in Scotland at 6-1.Luton, Lincoln and Arbroath currently top their respective divisions by five, two and 14 points respectively, while Leeds are two points behind Norwich at the top and seven clear of WBA in fourth. The book is effectively closed on Arbroath, who are now top-priced at 1-50, while Leeds, Luton and Lincoln are 5-2, 4-11 and 11-10 respectively.The each-way double has a potential pay-out of £18,075 including the initial £200 stake, while the Trixie would return £8,584 for the same initial stake if all three teams win their divisions.
    Anger as BetBright ceases trading and declares void all unsettled bets
    Early on Tuesday afternoon, however, BetBright decided that, from midnight, all bets were off and stakes were to be refunded. There was no offer to honour their side of the bets, no chance of a cash-out – which in this case alone would have run to several thousand pounds

    Ricci should be made to sell his horses in order to fund any liability’s
    He’s nothing more than a fraudster

    Yes, it’s disgraceful.

    But has the poor sod missed a trick? Lincoln, Luton, Leeds…and Liverpool! Well, maybe not :)

    Here is an article by Greg Wood:

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2019/mar/07/talking-horses-rich-ricci-888-com-betbright-void-ante-post-bets

    which suggests Ricci may be seen as a welcher and booed at Cheltenham and that 888 may be damaged as a brand!
