Angry customers have created a petition for 666Bet on change.org, which provides a free petition tool for millions of users, titled Give Us Our Money Back!

It has been a month since the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has suspended Metro Play Limited’s license, which covers both the Metroplay.com and 666bet.com sites, due to a money laundering and fraud investigation. Until now, both sites remains offline and hundreds of furious punters have not been paid their winnings.

Thieving maggots, scum, joke of a company were just a few words these ranting customers described the Isle of Man-based online gambling company 666Bet as they asked the operator to pay up.

Officials at the online gambling firm tried to calm the customers by releasing a statement today saying, “We apologize for the continued delay in returning customer funds. We are currently seeking the appropriate approval from the UK Gambling Commission to re-open 666BET and Metro Play to enable customers to access their accounts. We hope to have further news shortly. Thank you once again for your continued patience but please be assured that we are doing all we can to return our customers’ funds.”

Xapo, Bitcoin debit card and secure wallet provider, partners with global eSports Cyber Evolution (CEVO) and Bitcoin-based gaming service Leet to create a new gaming platform that offers a bitcoin-enabled competitive gaming experience to players.

CEVO runs several e-sporting tournaments, offering popular games such as League of Legends, Team Fortress 2 and Counterstrike. CEVO users can now earn Bitcoin by playing games and challenging their friends.

Leet, which also offers free and pay-to-play tournaments across a variety of AAA games, allows its players to win real money, which can be withdrawn using Xapo wallet—where bitcoin balance will be stored. Leet will charge 2% fee on League of Legends earnings.

“We believe that gaming presents one of Bitcoin’s most exciting growth opportunities, as fast, inexpensive and secure bitcoin payments have the potential to open the global gaming community to players who lack access to a bank account or credit card,” XAPO said in a statement. “CEVO users will now be able to earn and challenge their friends for bitcoins across some of the world’s most popular games.”

As we count down the days to the biggest night of the year in boxing, betting action surrounding the mega fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is taking a life of its own.

Ever since sportsbooks opened the lines for the fight – well before it was officially announced, there has been a steady stream of bets being taken it. Most have been on the side of Pacquiao, which largely explains why his opening line of 3/1 has dropped to as low as 7/4.  By contrast, Floyd opened as low as 3/10, but all the action on PacMan has moved Money Mayweather’s odds to as high as 1/2. The odds for both fighters are still expected to fluctuate depending on the betting market so if you still haven’t put money down on the fight, now’s the time to start paying attention.

When’s the best time to bet on Manny Pacquiao?

Ideally, you should have bet on Pacquiao when the odds were first offered because it’s unlikely that you’re going to get higher odds than 3/1 at this point. Granted, the current 7/4 odds isn’t that bad since your $100 will still net you $175 in winnings, or $275 if you count your $100 bet. You could still wait it out and let the late money on Mayweather to arrive, which could push Pacquiao’s odds back up to as high as 2/1, maybe even 9/4.

Jordan Spieth may not yet be the household name that Tiger Woods is, but Spieth’s incredible performance at the 2015 Masters will go a long way in building that legend. The 21-year old completely ran roughshod over Augusta, finishing the four-round tournament with a score of 18-under par.

I’m not an avid fan of golf, but I know well enough from watching Woods during his heyday what a tornado on a golf course looks like. Spieth was that tornado at Augusta, turning the world’s most prestigious golf major into a personal showcase of skill and talent. At times, Spieth even made it look easy, flashing that unmistakable eye of dominance I used to see from Tiger. Spieth really put on a show, displaying the kind of world-class golf game average Joes like us can only dream of having. It may have come at the expense of robbing us of what could’ve been an exciting finish to the tournament, but you still have to respect and appreciate greatness when you see it.

Jordan Spieth showed us greatness at the Masters and it was special.

Not everybody is happy that Spieth dominated the Masters. Sure, they’re happy for him that he won the Green Jacket and infused life and buzz into the sport of golf, but sportsbooks knew that Spieth winning the Masters was their worst-case scenario. With Spieth’s record-breaking first round, a lot of sportsbooks were left scrambling trying to recoup whatever losses – it’s likely to be huge – they stand to get hit with after initially offering Spieth at 10/1 odds to win the Masters.
