Updated In August, 2020 - 1BetVegas is not directly responsible for ripping people off and scamming sports bettors but many con-artists do use their platform to do so. 1BetVegas.com is a tool for sports bettors, bookies and their agents. Our 2014 1BetVegas review explains how the service works so I will simply cover the basics here. If you use a offline bookie or bookmaker / sportsbook organization to place sports and horse bets you probably do so over the phone. Some bookies prefer to track wagers everything online though. Placing bets in person or on the phone has some serious limitations. Being able to log into a sports betting account, see the various betting opportunities and lines for dozens of sports and hundreds of games/matches is much better. A service like 1BetVegas enables bookies to sent their customers there and place their wagers. 1 Bet Vegas can and has been abused though. 1BetVegas has been used to rip people off, scam people, steal from people and con bettors out of their money. Is 1BetVegas legit and safe in 2014? For some people but not all. I will briefly explain how one sports bettors was scammed at 1BetVegas.com.

• A phone handicapper/bookie tells his customer to go to www.1betvegas.com and start placing his wagers there. He pressures the bettor into depositing $1,000, instead of the usual $100-$200.

• The bookie credits the bettor's 1Bet Vegas account with a 1,000% bonus; $100,000. This is the amount showing up in the bettor's 1 Bet Vegas account. He bets $100,000 on a game and wins.

• The player now has over $200,000 and he has only given the bookie $1,000. He requests a cashout and the bookie says that he can only pay out this much money using an armed courier. He claims the courier will cost $4,000 and the bettor cannot use his winnings to cover it. He wants the bettor to send him an extra $4,000.

You see the scam? Obviously the bookie agent will disappear once he has the $4,000 and the $200,000 doesn't exist. Bookies and their agents can add any amount of money they want into a 1BetVegas.com sportsbook account. It's not real money. It's not backed by anything. There are other 1betvegas.com scams out there. You should call the 1BetVegas customer support phone number if you have been the victim of a theft there. I strongly suggest placing your sports bets with a certified and licensed online sportsbook. The three USA sportsbooks below have been online for over 10 years each. Payouts take 1-3 for Western Union and Moneygram. Check cashouts take 5-10 days and there are other options.
