Feel for you, SontaranStratagem

Same as poppy and slippy and I've never played in a live casino ever!!! and haven't bought a lottery ticket in a few years and even then it was sporadic.

Anyway, SS says that he's been suspended until he hands over the documentation but Wesdag has been saying that you are allowed to 100 a month unless you hand over the documentation so which is it?

Has SS done his 100 and will be back on again next month???

Hills have effectively stopped me sports betting because I am in a small long term profit situation - they are not interested in me unless they are taking money off me on a regular basis and not giving it back. They are so risk intolerant of the profits, punters who are not profitable to them are dropped and not even honestly told.

I can understand if someone is losing say £500 per week on a regular basis some checks are required but the window should be over say three months. Hardcore addicts will open accounts all over the place so you can't even have a 100% thorough check.

Its amazing that you can buy a £30,000 car on credit with £400 month payments, but have more checks when you deposit £100 with Befair.

Time for BF, I mean PP to come on and have an open and frank discussion to explain why exactly they are taking the heavy handed approach they are.

No chance they'll do that....how are they going to disguise the fact they are trying to bury everything apart from the slots.

Just how many slots customers are being targeted?

Ive still got 365 and Smarkets for the time being

But how long until they decide to demand such documents now im essentjally transferring the money to them?

You too MC

I wont be gambling for much longer either once all 3 hit me with it

I guess its find something new unless we make changes

Swerve the News as well, the media's currency is negativity, not a conspiracy, bad news sells. You don't need to know what's going on in Ukraine, you can't do anything about it. The only good thing about mass media is that it's diluted the numbers for traditional main stream press/TV, and they can't get away with as many lies as they used to, Kind Regards.

If a punter goes into live chat with them you will probably get a customer services person who will say something trader has reviewed your account and a block has been put in place (....because your are taking money off us but they don't say this). You can't speak to the trader (decision maker is used in a famous Governement organisation) i.e. the inaccessible expert with all the power. Thus they create a filter screen its not me saying you can't bet its the accounts trader.(which could even be computer software).

“Sorry for the inconvenience” no they aint they couldnt give a to33

The moment theyre inconvenienced though they soon whine

We live in a society of Im all right jackers until Im not

My mate got checked by sadblokes cos he won 2.5k over a year or so, said he was a money launderer, which was hilarious cos he works in a hospital laundry, so yeah he is a launderer. That's what it's mostly about these days, but 99% of the time picking on the wrong people. It's idiotic.

As stated before let's say customer restricted to 100 a month deposit, punter loses account balance then deposits 100. What strategy can be employed to build the bank,without making further deposits, or is it a waste of time.

A punter used to betting in minimum stakes of £20 and upwards surely can't go back to staking in figures of £2/3, can they? Which to me seems what they would have to do to prevent making further deposits  each month.

The whole ham-fisted approach is as absurd as what’s going on over genders, it’s ill fitting and places the onus of all blame on the masses who have no say in the outcome.
I can’t see either not crashing down at some point such is the level of contrivances.
If you have the money at point of sale you can spend it as you wish, to pick out individuals who still produce the money and treat them with suspicion is prejudiced.

Unlucky SS, but you are doing the right thing keeping your affairs private, who would not want to do that?.
In the late evenings I am still seeing slots and free spins advertised, bf included.

I had an e-mail from them about responsible gambling after making a loss and a couple of deposits during Ascot week. So since then I have limited my bets on here and I am using the daq as well. So bf's loss. Strange business that encourages it's customers to seek out rivals. Or is there some collusion going on?
If so, I can only think they want to drive the exchanges to closure so they can make everyone one bet at safeguarded sp's instead.

They know clearly where the main problem lies, young people on low incomes betting on slots, silly exotic football accas and the like but that is what they have cultivated and groomed for twenty years and is all they want to live off right now.

I would imagine a lot of their older clients who bet on the exchange, property owners with investments savings and pensions and their children to care about are being hit unnecessarily. Why would we want to throw away our life's work at our age?

Best of luck wherever you go SS. Hope somehow it resolves itself.

Afew missing what's going on I think, the books are using the white paper as an excuse to cull who they don't want, they've been doing it for years via stake reduction anyway, all they are doing is now getting rid of those same victims.

If the GOVT now said, the white paper is scrapped and forget it, the books would STILL carry on with what they are doing IMO, they want to wipe out the sports bettors and let the casino, slots players be.

I reckon the slots players won't be getting targeted like the sports bettors are......Online is beginning to be treated by them as betting shops are, machines only and very few sports bettors.

I got the same HGS but I persevered and sent him a string of comments from on here, particularly about the rise of illegal layers etc;, and he just spouted what seemed to me to be pre-prepared stuff too.

duffy

I have yet to hear of the winners getting shut out. Anyone paying PC getting requests?
Ive never played a slot on here in my life, and never will, I pay PC every week pretty much and if you believe the conspiracists on here Im winning bf's money (rubbish)
Ive never been contacted and dont expect to be.

It fringe people who have perhaps had a losing spell or just an overall poor win to com ratio.

Haven't made deposits since it became an issue...only bet long term markets here since PC and yet to suffer any real nasties so have just kept balance higher and only withdrawn when in noteable excess

not sure can still access the portal, my old bookmark doesn't work but I didn't think that was still available tbh..

yeah can access that version...

as I say though DB, I've deliberately kept higher surplus than previously to avoid suddenly having to make a) more deposits and b) bigger deposits

I'd rather find out from someone else (as you I guess) if it's a problem, rather than court it..

If I go out of pc (i.e lose on a long term market, typically a test match or competition outright) just because of the nature of markets involved and style of trading it rarely if ever goes below 19.x so it's never been a significant re-funding required or an account changing amount to the negative...in terms of being stopped on a loss alone I'd be very surprised but compared to many on here I'm quite small fry, just that style and market interests have been very susceptible to pc...

there's still a few decent amount traders on here so hopefully someone can add to it but a loss on a long term funded account (with no significant redeposit) has no reason in theory to get picked up on....it certainly shouldn't anyway..

Im guessing at 15%, it might be higher and those who have been contacted just have a ropey record that they arnt admitting
