How Do I Check If a Fixed Match Tipster Is a Scam Before I Pay?

Short answer: treat anyone selling a supposedly "fixed match" as a serious scam risk: the promised result cannot be verified in advance. For any other paid tipster, before you pay, search their name, username, channel and website in the free Bet Alert scammer database and online for complaints, and ask for a full, timestamped record that includes losses, not just winning screenshots. If you find suspicious activity, submit a report with the details you have.

Step 1: Search the Bet Alert database

Search the seller's username, Telegram handle, channel link, phone number, website or payment details in the scammer database. If they are listed, don't pay. If they are not listed, that does not mean they are safe. Keep checking.

Step 2: Search for complaints

Search the name and username together with words like "scam", "review" and "fake", and check forums and complaint sites. Finding nothing doesn't clear them, because new accounts appear all the time.

Step 3: Ask for a full record, not screenshots

Screenshots of winning bets and payments are easy to edit, and a seller can show only the wins. A genuine tipster can show a long, timestamped record of tips posted before kick-off, losses included, ideally on an independent tracking platform. If they only send screenshots, treat that as a warning.

Step 4: Check the account and website

Look at how old the account or domain is and whether followers grew suddenly. Check for a real name, contact email or legal details. Reverse-search their profile photos. Our guide How to Check If a Tipster Is Legit - 6 Free Tools That Actually Work explains each tool.

Red flags: don't pay if you see these

• Any claim that a result is fixed, certain or risk-free
• Payment wanted upfront by digital currency, gift card or transfer to a personal account
• Pressure to decide quickly, or they contacted you first
• Fees to "unlock" a tip, get a refund or verify an account
• Only a Telegram or WhatsApp handle, with no real name or address
