New Posts For Thread: Legality of bookmaker inactivity fees??https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/27555277/legality-of-bookmaker-inactivity-feesA well known bookmaker has today charged me an inactivity fee as my account had not been used for twelve months. I had left a few quid in the account, thinking I would eventually try and place a bet with them again.I have never agreed to new terms anI'm going back 9 years but I had money with a dodgy company called Betworld. I knew I was in a fight to get the money out of the account and from the get go I copied Betbrain aswell as the Racing Post in on all my correspondence.
