SportArbs no longer use Liberty Reserve…

When I checked my account at SportArbs today there was a special notice to say that they no longer use Liberty Reserve. They say that the payment processor has had difficulties over the last few days culminating in SportArbs losing a sizeable sum of money.

However, this has not caused any disruption at SportArbs as they have what they call a Stabilisation fund for just such problems.

What it does mean though is that all members who had funded their SportArbs account via Liberty Reserve will now have to use Global Digital Pay. So, if you are a member affected by this you should make sure that you open a Global Digital Pay account as soon as possible. It is a very straightforward process and verification can be quickly achieved.

I did read of other programmes having difficulties with Liberty Reserve over the last few days and this seems to have been caused by a problem with the API interface which now seems to be solved. I’m not sure whether SportArbs had the same or other issues but the result is that Liberty Reserve will no longer be used at SportArbs.

STOP PRESS: It will soon be my birthday and to celebrate the occasion I am running a competition for readers of my blog. There will be two prizes, the first a $50 account at SportArbs and the second a $25 account at SportArbs. For your chance to enter make sure you read my post tomorrow, Saturday 19 December.
