Yes, way back in June 2000 I was an early joiner and lived in Tucson, Arizona at the time, looked out the window and decided Cactus would be my stage name. Yes, you could bet online in the USA then. My account was later "compromised" and it must be said that Betfair refused to give me the details, my account balance had suddenly grown for some unknown reason. My account was suspended, the overpaid amount debited and I spent some months on the sidelines before I was permitted to open a new account.

I had been brought up in Nigeria which I viewed, along with others as the fraud capital of the world. However after some time in Arizona I realized that compared to America, Nigeria was just an amateur fraud operation; there is something sick and wrong in the USA. I now live happily in Canada.

Oh, and I was not allowed to rejoin as "Cactus".

If only betfair were legal in america, the liquidity would go through the roof especially in the North American sports that need it

I fear this could be a short thread. In answer to the OP's Q: Yes (several, all banned but only because they were linked). This one is obviously not because I'm behaving.

Always had the same name, though originally had a space between Slippy and Blue. When I had to open a new account they removed the space option for some reason.

I know that's why i dont have a space either

Seems a bit daft to me Ayres Rock. I was quite annoyed at the time!
At least they let me keep the name as it is now , I would have been hugely grizzled if I had to get a new one.

Leopard hasn't posted much lately... on holiday? Or maybe he's got a new name (unlikely)

Good luck getting most of them to admit it.
Or to say what their forum name(s) was/were before!
