Opened account, deposited £200. Placed bet.

Apparently i now can't login, place any bets, or receive any winnings until they have scanned ID emailed to them.

Yet they were happy to take my money no questions asked. Complete muppets. "Oooh it's the Gambling Act, we have to by law" - No you don't. Pillocks.

Yeah they only want to know after taking my money though. Charlatans.

Agreed Custard, had heard this about them. They wouldn't even let me take my passport into one of their grotty shops. Nor did he sound pleased that i reffered to them as "grotty shops" Mischief Cool

It can`t be due to the Gambling Act as Betfreds online business is based in Gibraltar and is therefore not covered by the UK Act.

No idea what rules there are in Gib for this type of thing.

Good point well made Banksie. Think i could argue it all day long but they won't give me my cash.

FWIW the bet is Holland / Cameroon / Italy (DNB) / Durham in the T20 v Leics

Stake £50 - returns £325 Cool Cool
