Thanks Darren, I don'y pay this but I'm hopeful I may in the future.

What's the highest charge you would pay. I've never really looked into it as it doesn't affect me, but say for example you win £1,000,000 every year.

What percentage of this would you lose, on top of commission?

You could easily win 1 million pounds a year and not pay the PC.

Thanks Darren, had a glance at that, but really wanted a quick figure.

So 20% tops, is that right?

basically you can win upto a 1000 overall without paying it. After that it depends how much commission you have paid before it kicks in

22.5% is the magic figure Canny lad.(aggregated with commission )

unless as jimmy suggested you are able to pick big winners and endure heavy losses to somehow circumnavigate the charge with commission .

Thanks for that Coach. I'll be laying only unfortunately, so looks like I'll be a 22.5 percenter if things go according to plan.

mitchell ... 1000 is the element they allow you free ...this is a one off allowance nowadays ,and is based on a LIFETIME


in other words , if you win 10,000 this year from scratch ,you will pay

5% (2.5%) generated = £250

20% premium charge = 2,000 (-250)

total payable , = 1,750
allowance (one off) = 1,000

total payable =750


if you contine to win after this ,calculate at 22.5 %

Cheers Coach, this is the most interesting strategy I've seen in 40 years of gambling, pity I'm not 25 again.
