I want my winnings!

What was supposed to be a fun RWC bet has turned quite sour! I am not the betting type but a friend and I decided to wager something towards the RWC. It was meant to be a once off and almost seemed a sure thing when Sportingbet SA offered an equivalent beginners bonus to sweeten the deal. So you can imagine my shock horror when after my team and hemisphere won and the proposed winnings were not paid out to me! I queried via the website bot, and was eventually told that they would email me answer as I clearly didn't understand.

That was on the 4th Nov. So today I eventually found a number for them and called and spoke to a very helpful person by the name of Vincent. Helpful but I still cannot withdraw my winnings. That's all I want, my winnings but apparently I have to play the winnings 3 times before they payout any winnings. I am only entitled to my deposit. They possible winnings that were shown before the match (and before the RWC began) were never possible winnings. Now Vincent has convinced them to reinstate the winnings, but the catch is that I must play them three times. That means that I must become a full on gambler. I wouldn't even know where to start. What a catch! They have their bases covered properly and they win if your lose as you don't have any winning and win if you win(because you are trapped) you are compelled to cycle your money. As I cannot find their email address, nothing in writing, I am copying the WC Gamblers board as I cannot be the only individual with this problem.
