BetFred is being accused of pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. The U.K.-based gambling operator swooped in to grab the customer database of MoPlay just as the rival site was going under, asserting that it would provide compensation to those customers. However, it now

appears that BetFred isn’t willing to follow through on its promise, leaving a number of former MoPlay users without their money. Company executives assert that the accusations are false, and that it is doing everything by the book.

When BetFred intervened last month and gave MoPlay customers a beacon of hope, it asserted that MoPlay users in the U.K. and Ireland would be “given the opportunity to have their cash balances honored by BetFred.” In hindsight, perhaps the statement was open to too much interpretation, as “given the opportunity” doesn’t necessary translate into guaranteed payouts.
