One of the main problems in the current betting industry is that nearly 100% of the control is in the betting operator’s hands. This brings us to a situation where operators ban smart players, lower payouts for winning bets, do artificial KYC checks to freeze the funds on players’ accounts, and much more.

Congratulations to all the winners!
