As football season rolls along, the Better Business Bureau is warning of potential online sports betting scams that could cost you cash.
Fall is home to the college football and NFL seasons and the Better Business Bureau is alerting fans about sports betting scams.
Here's how the scams work. You want to place a bet on an upcoming game so you search online for a sports betting service. You find a website or app that looks trustworthy and you place a bet. At first, everything seems normal, but as soon as you try to cash out your winnings, you find you can't withdraw a cent. Besides losing money, any personal information you shared is now in the hands of scam artists.Look for an established, approved service that friends have used.
Read the fine print on incentives. Gambling sites and apps often offer incentives or bonuses to new users and around major games. But like any sales pitch, these can be deceptive. Be sure to read the fine print carefully.
