remember what is happening to me is going to happen to every betfair customer when their visa card expires according to the help desk staff,the four staff i spoke to told me their are no exceptions to this new rule.i have renewed my card 5 times over 15 years and had no problems but this time for some reason they will not except the replacement card ,from the same bank,same address,same account numbers ,same everything ,but the PAN(16 DIGIT NUMBER HAS CHANGED)and the CVV number has changed,and that has happened on the 5 previous times (its for security). but this time we are all getting a" no no no no no "from betfair,perhaps and i stress perhaps it may have something to do with brexit and the talk of tariff's on debit cards????????

and the irish government announced this week that they had secured a settlement on tax take with online gambling companies,so that also has to be taken into consideration,so whatever is happening ,is happening and all i know is that my days are numbered with betfair and i did nothing wrong.

yes, brass, you don't need to have any card registered, just use paypal and the withdrawals are quicker anyway

i understand and when the bank void my old card i will look at the options i have,but remember if this is about to happen to everyone on betfair you have to ask yourself the question "why in gods name are betfair making it so difficult for everyone to place a bet"they have to have a reason and it would help if they explained it to their customers"why they want to see bank accounts(that they already have)of all customers.

I've always liked Smarkets but as usual with anything not BF it does suffer from liquidity issues at times,but it's getting bigger imho.

but why are betfair doing this,its an updated card for the account i opened 15 years ago,and i never had this problem before,you would think they would give a reason ,its a case of like or lump it /we want to see your bank account ,and remember everyone is going to get this same treatment according to the betfair help desk.

I fear bf`s imminent demise, as the SEEEEETHING of the lefties on numerous threads is about to break the whole internet!

^ A well made point of great relevance to this thread.

it is so strange ,and they will not accept a letter of confirmation from the bank that the replacement card is the only card connected to the same account that was there from the begining apart from the old card that is about to expire.
it sounds like "on your bike brassneck ,we dont want your custom any more"but then again they are going to say the exact same thing to everyone else who's card expires. |

If you done as much betting as woffling then they might actually miss you.

i checked my records and have turned over millions of pounds since i started ,so its not that ,there is no massive profits on the card either,and the biggest bets i ever recorded was single grand bets a few years back,the biggest collect was 16 grand and that's a long time ago in 16 team accum.
so its a standard gamblers account .i could understand if it was only me,but as i say ,the help desk have confirmed to me 4 times that everyone is about to get the same treatment with no exceptions,but what surprises me is that the forum is not littered with complaints about the treatment the so called" valued customers"are about to get. |

its my guess that everyone is moving on to other gambling sites,and its only me that is here on my lonesome to fight the case of mistreatment being dished out by betfair.

why don't you just give them what they want and stop moaning? You know that you will eventually.

post your bank account on the screen Dave,and you will say"why should i,its my business not anyone else's.
i have offered bank confirmation to them that the card is a replacement card for my only bank account and that is not good enough for them.i have given proof of my address,i have showed my bookmaker licence,i have given a utility bill,i have given my mobile number,i have given my telephone number,i have given them a copy of suitability of premises on my last bookie office,i have given a copy of my driving licence,i have given a copy of my membership of the indepentant bookmakers union,and i have given a copy of my bank statement when i started gambling with them,i also have a written contract with them ,they also have my photo,what else do they want,i did nothing wrong and am a pillar of society. my days are numbered with betfair for some reason they will not answer too,and the sad part is that everyone is about to get the same treatment. |

post your bank account on the screen Dave they haven't asked you to do that. As was posted above, you can blackout all the transactions except betfair ones and the balance. So that would leave: the bank name and branch - which they already have the account number - which they already have your name - which they already have your address - which they already have and the betfair payments - which they already have So you have already given them all this info, but to keep them happy it's on a statement thus proving that it is your card linked to your bank account. So what is your problem? |
|
By:
i offered a letter from the bank to them proving that the card is a replacement card and the help desk said/ no
the bank have advised me not to give anyone details of my bank account as it threatens their security ,and if funds go missing they could not guarantee them. |
|
By:
Well they are probably correct in that they assume that you are a confused pensioner being scammed. However, you are already giving betfair access to your account when you give them your card details so the issue is somewhat redundant.
|

By:
so why are they looking for something they already have,and remember everyone(no exception)will be having the same problem when their card expires according to the betfair help desk,as i say i am only a pawn in a game of chess between the banks and betfair and it looks like it will remain like this until the courts decide who has the rights and who hasent.All i hope is that someone that works for betfair sees this thread and brings it to the powers that be and save the betfair customers the annoyance that i have and still am enduring in an effort to place a bet on the the once worlds largest betting organisation.
I REST MY CASE.signed=Brass. |

They have what you have given them - all the bank statement does is confirm that information, which for some reason you refuse to do.

Betfair have targeted 50 customers, all HRPC payers and given them allowances against the amount of PC due each winning week. dusty, I haven't heard this before. Can you elaborate a bit more on how this works (ie what sort of allowances etc.) |

By:
Gin I understand they have a £500 a week allowance before pc kicks in
|

By:
Thanks Biscar - from info I have seen elsewhere, the trial is targeted at a certain type of player. I guess it is unlikely to be rolled out to all PC players.
