All the stuff in italics wasn't in the original chat but was added by me, here...

Scott D Hello, welcome to bet365 Live Chat. How may I help you?


SF Hello scott.


Scott D Hello SF, how may I help?


SF I opened an account with bet365, before sleep last night, deposited £100 in part (mainly) because of the match my deposit offer, placed about £50 in irish lotto bets (main reason for opening the account, everyone else seems to win on this), lost the rest needlessly. but thought the next few months dabble on the irish lottery was covered Than woke up to see my emails.......


SF Following a review of your account by our Trading team, we regret to inform you that we are no longer able to offer you our telephone betting service and whilst our online service remains available to you, betting restrictions will be applied on any future bets placed


SF WHY??????


SF This seems to include the opening account offer.


Scott D I can see that these restrictions were on a previous account that you held with us. Where these restrictions are applied to an account, any new accounts created will also carry the restrictions.


SF I had a previous account with you???


Scott D That is correct yes.

SF If so, I've forgotten about it, and I apologise, But as for being restricted, I don't understand that, I never win!!!


Scott D The restrictions were applied following a full and careful review of your account.


SF I gather you have no idea why, scott.


Scott D The trading team reserve the right to apply restrictions to a customers account.


Scott D Unfortunately, I do not have specific details regarding this.


SF No, Nor do I.


SF When did I have an account?


Scott D This was a couple of years ago.


SF I honestly cannot remember having one If I did it was at least 8 years ago and barely used and definitely not profitable


Scott D The old account is now closed and you are fine to continue using this account.


SF Must have been during a Cheltenham or something then I've forgotten.


Scott D The old account is now closed.


SF Well, I'm not really fine to keep using this one as there are 'restrictions' on it and telephone betting is banned to me for some reason.


Scott D I can only apologise at this time. These were applied by the trading team and I do not have any further information to provide at this time I'm afraid.


SF Although I fail to see what difference betting by phone makes


Scott D Is there anything else I can help you with today?


SF Don't worry about it Scott. If the "trading team" feel I'm worthy of such attention, then they've probably done Bet 365 out of some (a little) profit and I, (a) won't lose any sleep over it, and (b) won't use Bet365 any more. Oh, and i'll spread the word.


Scott D Thank you for contacting bet365 Live Chat today.


[i]This was followed by another chat in which I complained about Scott D just "hanging up" whilst I was in mid type and in which I promised to tell everyone about how important I am as a punter and how careful this organisation is[i]

I've barely used them.... The only thing I can think of, is that Del had an account which was limited as it was quite successful, albeit on specials and had nothing to do with me and was years ago. And at the time they tied in the IP Address or something or perhaps I logged in on her computer - I can't remember ever using them. Other than that, a mystery. We've moved twice since then and I have a different bank card so they must be going on DOB!

Based on my lack of success on the few bets I've had there can be no reason at all for putting any restrictions on me.

It happened at BF too a year or so back when I wanted a bet on the sportsbook, but, to their credit, after some phone calls and complaints the "Traders" actually changed their minds (which I'm told, is unheard of) and allowed me full rein to lose as I please.

This approach to bookmaking should be made public, imo. They only want proven losers and take no risks. Again, in yet another way, the Gambling Commission is useless and should do what it says about policing "Fair gambling".
