I wanted to know more about this service because I really hate to see betting and gambling activities taking place publicly like that ! the Ad doesn't tell you anything, and doesn't make sense .. even if it was a sports betting service, it must be bet-and-win , but in the Ad it says win 300$ and bet who wins the match, as if you have to win the money in order to bet which doesn't make sense at all !! @bashar: when I called and asked, the lady who answered asked for the service number, i gave her the number and she made me wait while she checks, after that she told me that she doesn’t know anything about it and no details about this service is in the system, that’s when she asked what is the name of the company and I told her, then she asked me to wait again only to tell me that she doesn’t even have the phone number of the company !

i believe this is to be you send sms ( costing anywere between 200-500 fils ) if what you expected is right then you enter a draw , tada ! even if 500 people get it right , one will get 500 dollars ( around 160 kd ) the operator got 250 KD out of the other 499 suckers

there is also another problem with that ad , the ministry of commerce and trade has banned having any ad for Kuwaiti with prizes valued as something other than Kuwaiti dinnars to stop fraud

I believe that it works as you described, and the can't put more details in the Ad because the more details the more clear it is that it's gambling .. And about using the Dollars in stead of KDs for the prize money, it is very misleading .. and if there's a Law against it how Come Al-Watan doesn't check the Ads that are violating any ministry of commerce Laws ;/ @Forzaq8: you are right, there are a lot of other OLD services that are considered gambling, but this one is straight forward sports betting = Gambling ..
