Account Hacked and Winnings Withdrawn

I recently placed a bet on Betway and was fortunate enough to win. However, when I tried to withdraw my winnings, I discovered that someone had hacked into my account and withdrawn the funds. Naturally, I contacted Betway’s customer support, hoping to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, they shifted the blame onto me, claiming I either gave someone my password or used a weak one.

This response was incredibly frustrating, especially since I’m certain my account was compromised due to their lack of proper security measures. After all, I’ve seen multiple complaints like mine, yet Betway seems to be doing very little to address the security issues on their platform. It feels like they’re more focused on blaming customers rather than ensuring the safety of their users.

Because of this experience, Betway has lost me as a customer. I strongly urge them to improve their security and take customer concerns more seriously. Losing trust in a platform like this is not something any customer should experience.

Hi Webber, 

Please note that Betway is not liable for the protection of customers' logins/accounts. We urge players to ensure that they keep their account passwords safe and add any biometric security as an additional feature. 
 
Kindly refer to our terms and conditions: https://www.betway.co.za/terms-and-conditions 
 
2.3.    The Customer shall be solely responsible for the safekeeping and proper use of all his/her betting account details and other information that will enable him/her to place a bet. The Customer undertakes that he/she shall – 
 
  1. not apply for or hold more than one betting account with Betway;
  2. not apply for a betting account in the name of, or on behalf of, any other person;
  3. use only his/her own betting account for the purposes of engaging in betting, and
  4. not permit or enable any other person to place a bet, directly or indirectly, by making use of such betting account reference number, username or personal identification number as is or may be furnished to the Customer by Betway from time to time, and Betway shall accordingly not be liable to honour any transaction pertaining to any betting account so held or app**** for or to pay out any winnings in respect of any bet so placed. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Customer indemnifies Betway against any claims, losses or damages arising from bets transacted under such circumstances. 

We do see you requested a permanent lock on your account and therefore you will not be able to access Betway going forwards.

We trust the above to be in order.
