Bumpity Bump.  All got your screen video capture programs ready for tomorrow as evidence of these scum corps rejecting all and sundry?

I am waiting for the wednesday mid week should have a special there  so 365 better let me on for more than the $1 something I can currently get on for.

It applies to everyone DT so why should they be any different???

When I tried to have a bet on an 11.00 chance on Grafton Race 1 today with SportsBet, my maximum bet was $10. After a phone call to SportsBet, my maximum bet is now $100.

Good to see SportsBet being a good corporate citizen.

Wouldn't it be really amusing if the Corporates found by taking bigger bets they were pushed into betting more like on-course bookies ,held more $$$'s & gained a positive result for themselves .We hear on forums about those punters who get ,knocked back/given ludicrous limits,but what about the many who don't even try given the overflowing negative publicity.The Corporates who had a miserly narrow focus may find Mr V'Landys has done them a good turn !

BJT I posed a question (after witnessing this on both SB and CB) to the complaint email listed on racing NSW website and they directed me to the FAQ's which read

10. What price does a wagering operator have to bet each punter?
All punters are entitled to the price displayed in the wagering operator’s latest betting market on their website or betting board. The only time a changed price can be offered after a punter places a bet is if the official APN price had just changed or another bet has been layed at the original price and the wagering operator is adjusting the price, which will flow through to their website or betting board. Time log records can be checked to confirm this process.

you have every right to dob them in to the complaint email line

I just rang them and they were happy to explain it all. Interestingly, they didn't wish to discuss over live chat, I needed to ring them.
After the long in and such, asked about prices between me vs not logged in:

Me:  I am just doing a comparison of prices for when I am not logged in vs when I am logged in and there seems to be a about 25% difference.

Sportingbet:  Ummmm, yep, for certain some clients there will be umm a a little bit of differential prices.

Me:  Why is that?

Sportingbet:  Umm.  We have absolute discretion over the odds and prices we choose to offer.  All odds displayed on the website are indicative only until you have logged into your account.  The odds offered are those that are displayed after you have logged in and at the time the wager has been confirmed by you.

Me:  Ok, so wouldn't that be classed as a restriction?

Sportingbet:  Ahhh yep.

Me:  Ok, is that not allowed anymore?

Sportingbet:  We have absolute discretion over which odds and prices we choose to offer still.

Me:  On a client to client basis?

Sportingbet:  Yep.

Me:  Ok, well I will look into that, and probably get back to you.  Thanks mate.

Sportingbet:  No problem.

they make it up themselves as they go

Get on their social media sites....Twitter Facebook etc., as well as Twitter and Facebook of Racing retro, Richard Freedman etc....basically bombard any racing personality with a twitter following that you can think of.

Sportingbet's place prices dont seem to change, only the win prices... at least for me they don't.

I think its fair to say its going to take a while for the euro based firms to understand that the rules really do apply to them. In the UK they have been getting away with limiting clients for so long its part of their culture.

Just for clarification my understanding is:

1. Accounts cannot be closed.
2. Same prices must be offered to all customers.
3. All bets to lose and min of $1000 (country) and $2000 (metro)
4. Punters must report any bookmaker breaking these rules to RNSW immediately.

If the bookmakers don't like the rules don't offer bets on NSW racing.

This link is better for explaining the complaints process and has a link to a complaints form.  You must make the complaint within 14 days of the incident happening

3. How to Lodge a Complaint and Process

    At first instance, punters who believe that a wagering operator has refused their bet or excluded them in contravention of the minimum bet limit condition should contact the wagering operator to ascertain the reason for the refusal or exclusion.
    If the punter remains unsatisfied with the reason provided by the wagering operator, then they may lodge a formal complaint with Racing NSW by completing and submitting the complaints form found on the Racing NSW website at: https://forms.racingnsw.com.au/forms/minimumbetlimitscomplaint.html.
    Complaints will only be accepted and investigated following submission of a fully completed complaints form. As part of the complaint, a punter will need to state what action they have taken to contact the wagering operator and the outcome including any reasons given to the punter.
    The Complaint must be submitted within 14 days of the date of the incident the subject of the complaint. For example, from the date the bet was rejected, the date of the account closure or the rejection of the opening/reopening of an account.
    Racing NSW will then investigate the complaint to assess, on the evidence available, whether the wagering operator appears to have breached the minimum bet limit condition and whether the wagering operator should be referred to the NSW Government Office of Racing for prosecution.
    Both the complainant and the wagering operator will be informed of the outcome of the investigation.

After a phone call to Bet365, I have had my account reinstated after two years in the wilderness.

You are allowed to record your own phone conversations and don't need permission from the other party to the conversation.  What you cannot do is tap in to the phone conversations to which you are not a party and record those

In any case, nobody should fear the truth

Shane Anderson is going to be talking about it tomorrow on RSN

don't know if this helps or hinders but

Feb 2014 | Author Stuart Gibson, Gibsons Solicitors

So, what is the law regarding the recording of private conversations in Victoria?

The answer depends on who is partaking in the “conversation” and what means are being used to record the same.

The position is this.  One can record a private telephone conversation without the consent of the other party to the conversation provided that the recording is not done through a device installed within the telephone.  This could for instance be an interception device.  However, it is permissible to record the private conversation via an external recording device such as a dictaphone or even some form of software installed on your computer (see Section 6(1) of The Surveillance Devices Act 1999 (Vic).

This is also confirmed in the Commonwealth Act (see Sections 6(1) and & 7(1) of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 (Cth).

Don't think anybody has had any trouble getting on, just the prices they are taking.  Probably not too many in a position to even have unlogged in prices to compare to to know they are getting rorted.

prices might their final noose BJT

there must be some law that says the price posted in a shop window cannot be changed once you enter the shop - to the advantage of the shop-owner

surely they will be able to see 2 people logged in with different prices and do something .....spoken to Tracey Grimshaw yet BJT?

cant wait to see the RNSW response
