Good link and thanks for posting.

Why people are using books that are even C let alone lower shows how desperate and two-bit the arbers have had to become.

Its a shame because they supply good liquidity at the wrong prices.

Shows that the book in question were never one anyone should have had any money with in the first place.

To paraphrase:

"If we have reason to believe you are arbing, we will confiscate your money."

There's no way in hell this could be upheld in a court of law.
Perhaps they could temporarily withhold payment if you were suspected of breaking the t&cs but they would need more than just a suspicion.

It is one thing to close an account. It is another to with hold or "deduct" an administration charge without presenting evidence on why.

Why individuals don't take this on in court or with trading standards is a mystery to me.

Would they not have to be UK regulated for that?

Betway.com strives to provide a platform where honest players can enjoy sports betting in a safe environment and we take fraudulent activity seriously.  We also take customer feedback seriously and rule 1.3.4 as discussed here has now been removed due to the misinterpretation of this rule by some of our fair and loyal customers.

If you feel that you’ve been unfairly treated, please get in contact with our support either by e-mail on support@betway.com or use the chat functionality on our website. We will be happy to investigate and give you a clear explanation.

I reckon people would sign up still if the t&c's concerning arbing read "take your first born".

Good point rafeal, the US company Gamestation did this-

“By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions.”

Users were given the opportunity to check a box that would remove the clause and receive a £5 credit. However, only 12% of the customers actually took GameStation up on the offer, leading the company to believe that 88% of customers bother reading the T&C’s.Shocked

betway: "1.3.4 Should any player be found to be involved in, or should we suspect any player of being involved in, Match Betting or Arbitrage Betting, We shall be entitled, at our sole discretion, to restrict your future play or withhold all funds due to You and/or de-register and exclude You and/or suspend You as a player on any or all of the Websites"

Please tell me why anyone could possibly use a company which believes theft is acceptable? ShockedShockedShockedShockedShocked
