When Singapore passed the Remote Gambling Act, many major foreign bookmakers stopped operating in the country to comply with the new laws. Bet365 is among the sites that is no longer available to users in Singapore.
Streaming platform Twitch has updated its Community Guidelines to explicitly state that the promotion and sponsorship of skins gambling sites for the likes of CS:GO is prohibited. The move further solidifies Twitch's recent clampdown on gambling content, particularly unlicensed sites.
There are several reasons why bet365 accounts can be restricted, including matched betting, unreasonable betting behaviour, GamStop (self-exclusion), and exploitation of bonuses.
For example, Bet365 was taken to court for refusing to pay over 1 million in winnings to a horse bettor in Northern Ireland in 2024. The company refused a payout of 54,000 to a customer in England in 2024, a case which was still ongoing in 2024.
