Novibet and Deposits

[pinnit2015]

There was a topic around this a bit ago whereby the OP claimed Novibet lifted money from their account without approval (nonsense) but there is something to watch out for when depositing here with a debit card.

 

Monday: 100 quid available in bank, deposit 20 for example. Quite rightly my available balance is 80 in bank

 

Tuesday: available still showing as 80, no problemo.

 

Wednesday: now my available has went up 20 back to 100

 

Thursday: now it’s corrected and 80s available.

 

It appears that there are delays in authorisations and posting to the bank. Which means that you may get caught out thinking there is more money in your account and get a shock when it ‘correct’ itself on day 4 for example.

 

I have only had this happen in one other casino - all others take my money off and it stays off my available balance but for some reason the above happens with Novibet

 

There’s obviously nothing dodgy about this but something to bear in mind (I presume since this happens only there it’s not my bank)

Could be a common issue with their banking account authorization delays OR simply the fact they might be using some third-rate payment provider...

 

Thanks for sharing though, sounds like really odd situation which personally have never experienced so far.

Had a look at posted transaction...,transaction date for one was the 6th Aug, posted to account on 15th. What? That’s mental - normally two days max.

 

I’m going to ask them - reckon it is probably one of the above...Butler Bingo was the only other one iv ever seen this with.

 

Just kinda messes up my gambling bank as iv to go into transaction history, see which ones haven’t been posted to my bank and take it off my available balance to see what my ‘real’ available balance is!

 

You could go overdrawn without knowing for example.

 

Post what they reply - I predict they’ll say it’s my bank which is nonsense ;-)

I experience it sometimes with my bank - However the initial purchase is reserved for the transaction, however on day 3/4 when the merchant does its banking and take the money, the bank actually put the money back and then send the final payment and it could be a slighly different amount depending on the exchange rate.

 

So lets say $10 would cost me R146 which means a $1 = R14.60 today and then on Saturday the banking is done and the $1 = R15, then the actual debit would be R150 in this instance, just as an example of how it works my side with the exchange etc.

 

However the R146 is reserved and gets increased to R150 on the day of banking.

The bad thing with the above is that the ‘inflated’ available balance is sometimes there for 3/4 days...

 

If I go overdrawn I’m just gonna say to my bank ‘it’s ok, I saw the clouds shifting which is a sign of a DOA double wild line, your money is safe’ ;-)

If your bank manager can believe that, he'll believe anything you say!
