INTERTOPS shady as fuck

[ftpjesus]

Placed a bet last minute on Trump to win at +375. I checked this morning and it still showed pending. So I emailed them and get this shit canned answer. Sounds to me like they just don't want to pay off and are making excuses. Nowhere did it say bet can't be resolved till Jan 20th 2017. The bottom was my original short email to them.

Dear Xxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting Intertops Customer Support!

The bet regarding ´US Elections 2016: Who will be the next President?´ will be graded in January 2017, after Presidential inauguration. Mr Trump has won the elections but he´s still not the President. Until he is not officially president of the USA, the bet won´t be graded.

Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Support.

Sincerely,

Dora

Bet was Trump to win +375.. Trump has won US Election so bet should be paid off as a win currently.

I agree. Very shady.

Intertops has been around since the 90s, and has a good rep, but this is a really lousy (and non-standard) policy, and they should have made this really clear before taking bets from people.

When i was looking at this I could not find anywhere where it said when it would be paid off. I thus assumed it would be swearing in and not earlier.

So, if he gets assassinated before inauguration you lose?

@ intertops.

They are using a word technicality since it says "Who will be the next president" instead of "Who will be elected the next US President" which they would have to pay on that one imo.

The terms should have been stated more clearly that the bet won't be settled until the next president takes office. While they are within the rules based on the wording it don't mean that it's not a shady way of doing things because it's likely an action killer for them if they stated after inauguration.

Colonel Fabersham called them on radio.

The rep obnoxiously said that Intertops "isn't allowed" to pay until January 20.

When asked who isn't allowing them, given that they control their own money, the rep conceded that this was an internal rule made by the betting manager.

When asked if we could speak to the betting manager, they said he doesn't take phone calls.

@ intertops.

Well given the options there.. I would assume it might go to No Action considering Hillary isn't being sworn in any more then Gary Johnson, Jill Stein or Evan whothefuckhewas.. But then again one could possibly think Intertops might just try to fuck everybody over at that point since the other ones were losses (You gotta believe that they already marked the other bets as losses for those who bet on Hillary or took flyers on the others)
