Buff88 - SCAM

Buff88 previously going by the name of VitalBet, it had a renovation of sorts earlier on in 2018 and now goes by its current name.
However, don’t let the newness of this platform sway your judgement on how good it will be. There is still plenty to entertain yourself with at Buff88. The site itself is operated by Galaxy 88 Group, and it holds a license from the government of Curaçao.

Buff88 was also known as BetEast. But for some reason, they have decided to rebrand themselves. The product and quality have remained the same.
Buff88 is primarily a sports betting platform. It accepts bets for all fan-favorite sports and leagues, from football to MMA. Furthermore, they have a separate eSports betting category on the website but it doesn’t have such a huge range of esports for you to bet on as what you may be able to find elsewhere.

Another problem with Buff88 is the fact that there is no information on time period of withdrawals and the customer support is not very supportive.
It’s quite unfortunate that it’s not very clear how you can seek out support if you need it. There aren’t any clear links to email addresses, live chats, or anything like that. Furthermore, you don’t get the chance to check out any further details on the payment methods before you join.

So, if you’re looking for information about maximum and minimum deposit amounts or how long it takes to withdraw, you’d better forget about it with Buff88.

Lots of accusations and allegations have been floating around in Reddit and even on the HLTV forums from disgruntled gamblers saying that they have been scammed by the previous company before they renamed it.

Ebettle, which then rebranded to Buff88, and their new version of the gambling site, Buff.Bet. They are actually part of a big umbrella company which owns several platforms and has been scamming players and gamblers for years. These betting websites have the same customer support number, the license registered to the same licensing company.

They are actually owned by Galaxy Group Limited, which has been notorious for closing down accounts and also revoking withdrawing rights from accounts who have won big amounts of cash even though they have provided all the verification documents.

The previous Buff88 named Ebettle closed down due to the copious amount of people taking their dirty laundry to Twitter, Reddit and even HLTV due to the disgusting practices that those sites were doing before, scamming money out of the gamblers that play on their site.

Moreover, there are a lot of discrepancies in their Bonus and Promotions page, which signifies that they just copy-pasted the information from one of their other sister companies. Buff.Bet does not even offer cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals onsite, but the glaring information that they have posted in the Bonus and Promotions page is that they include Bitcoin, Etherium and Litecoin, which I have not seen anywhere on the deposits page.

One other disadvantage is the verification process. They require a valid government issued ID such as a passport or drivers license, a separate proof of address such as a billing statement and also the debit or credit card payment that you will be using. Asking for credit card details seem shady in if you are not going to be using that option anyway.

They have a competitive bonus offers to sucker in innocent gamblers into depositing money to their account. They offer a 100% bonus offers on almost all of their deposits, be it your welcome bonus for esports or the Casino. But, they offer a “free” wager which is not really free. Since you can only use one code per deposit, their “free” wager requires you to deposit a minimum of 5 Euros. So it is not free at all.

There is only one option for customer support for Buff.Bet, and that is emailing them and the response delay is considerable.

With all the reasons listed above, you should stay away from this site, or any of their other sister companies that are held by Galaxy Group Limited.

With a simple search on the internet you will find many many complaints from the players that got scammed so my advise is to avoid this brand.
