Black Bookies

Under the usual circumstances, the activities of bookmakers are regulated by law (a license is required). Obtaining a license is relatively easy these days. In this regard, the world is conditionally divided into several areas. In Russia, bookmakers must receive an exclusive license. Same thing in the UK. America has banned bookmakers in most of its territory. The most common option is Malta"s international permits. But it has become so now.

About 20-30 years ago, the "black" bookmaking advanced everywhere. This phenomenon is difficult to describe unambiguously. In the world, it proceeded non-uniformly. Somewhere it was like a norm. For other countries and regions has become a real problem. These included CIS countries. The main feature of the "black bookmakers" was considered the lack of a legislative framework. It is worth noting here that we are talking about fixing activities as an individual or legal entity. No taxes were charged. It was rumored that civil servants were involved in the activities.

The system acted on the principle of a financial pyramid. At the head was a dealer who managed exclusively large customers. Typically, bets counted from a few hundred dollars to the market. The dealer had many intermediaries. They control the turnover of small markets. A potential client found out from a friend that somewhere you can place a bet allegedly at a favorable rate without interest. The minimum amounts of banks here were considerable, but affordable for the middle class. The money was at the primary dealer. He had a percentage of the turnover, which was usually around 2-5%. Intermediaries received approximately the same. However, they acted more cunningly. The system relied on adherents. In this case, real gamblers were meant. When interest went beyond common sense, under the influence of the system, they lost the movable and immovable property. But even at that time, there were professionals - bettors. They acted on the methods and tactics that were developed under the scheme of "black" bookmakers. Dealers found such people, included in the public domain. As a result, they paid the percentage of losses, and such players strengthened the rating in the eyes of target customers due to wins.

At the beginning of the 21st century, states began to struggle with similar structures. The main goal of the struggle was the need to fill the state budget. Vast amounts of money in the form of taxes passed the treasury. Now the number of illegal bookmakers has decreased. But some in their way do not differ from legal ones. They even have a full online presence.

But everything is just the tip of the iceberg. The following are the characteristics of illegal bookmakers:

• Fraudsters. They can be represented by one person or a whole criminal gang. Fraudsters play on shortsightedness, avarice, passion. For example, we opened a new bookmaker. We launched the line and collected the first installments from the players. After some time, customers come in and see that the site is not functioning. It turns out that the company is registered with dummies, and the money is taken offshore.

• Cappers. Here they offer prospects for real money. There is practically no crime. It is especially prevalent in the CIS countries. Since taxation is minimal and less contentious issues, the activity is booming. But for the average player, the risks here are significant, since no one will vouch for the quality of the forecasts. And seemingly profitable markets for him can be losing.

• Black bookmakers. Present almost everywhere. There are a lot of reviews on the Internet that they don’t pay winnings, delay with the withdrawal of funds, suddenly change quotes, etc. But it is worth noting that almost all BC do such things. But some organizations actually steal players ’money. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing a bookmaker, carefully weigh the reviews of people about them.

Often dishonest bookmakers and scammers are confused. It is not advisable due to legislation that applies differently to them. Nothing threatens fraudsters. That is, you can bring to justice. But in practice, it is almost impossible. Black bookmakers are a completely different story. They operate according to various schemes, but you can find the council on them. Yes, this requires a lot of things, but with due diligence and experience, there is a great chance to solve the problem.
Forerunners are usually referral individuals. This activity is mostly illegal. If the organizer is convicted of breaking the law, the bettor will not lose anything. Here we need only guarantees, which can give only positive feedback. It is important to be alert. You can play only if you have confidence in your abilities.

Every year, bettors become victims of such figures. And not always because of carelessness and excessive credulity. The reason for this is not still inattention or excessive trust. There are many organizations that, in the first year, offered customers excellent conditions. In reputable offices, this seldom occurs. New fraud schemes are rare. Fraudsters walk proven paths. They can be identified at the registration stage. Here are the main ones:

• Theft of deposit. A person is registered on the website of the bookmaker and credits a certain amount to his account. The time comes, but money does not come to the report. The transaction is committed, but nothing happens. Support is not responding. If you are offered to wait, then most likely, you are faced with intruders. Subsequent input amounts may disappear;

• Blocking an account. It is found almost everywhere. Not always, the bookmaker is to blame. It can prevent the hunter for bonuses or forklift. Most likely, you will lose your account. After the first win, the office freezes the account and prevents the withdrawal of money until the circumstances are clarified. At the same time, the payment of the bettor becomes the property of the company;

• Fake hacking. It happens when playing a plus. The bettor enters the office and sees that all the money is lost on the bets. Turns to the support, which replies that the account is hacked, a request to change the password is received. As a rule, nothing can be achieved, and the money remains with the bookmaker.

• Tricks with bonus programs. Not very critical, but complicates the game. This moment is in the competence of the administration of the bookmaker. At any time, the terms of provision may change, or the promotion may cease without explanation. Of course, they do not warn about changes. ;

• Fake winners. Black bookmakers need to attract as many new customers as possible. To do this, organize drawings of apartments and cars. Ratings are drawn, where the first places are occupied by dubious individuals who allegedly win and successfully place bets.

As a result, these schemes give fabulous profits. Players are left with nothing. It is important to remember the main points in order not to fall into the trap. First, it’s essential to find out if the bookmaker has a license. Further, concerning payment systems, if you are refused to pay money, you need to write a statement about a dubious transaction to the bank. In a few months, either cash or a negative reasoned answer will come.

When a deposit is stolen, an extract from payment systems will help. If the transfer is proven, the bookmaker will find the money.  Such activity itself has not outlived itself. It is necessary to understand it. It is essential to be careful here. On occasion, you can theoretically remain in the black, as this is not an absolute evil.
