PatersonBet is not a scam. It holds active gambling licences in regulated markets — those licences are publicly verifiable and require ongoing compliance with player protection, fund segregation, and fair play standards.
Most complaints that describe PatersonBet as a "scam" relate to withdrawal delays caused by incomplete KYC verification — a standard regulatory requirement, not a platform tactic. A verified account with a confirmed payment method has no systemic withdrawal problems based on available review data.
Paterson is a member of IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service), which handles disputes between players and operators independently. If you've had a genuine unresolved complaint, IBAS is the correct escalation path.
