What are the best banks that are punter friendly and except gamblers needing accounts?

Bank BETAIR  understands

Nationwide (building society), although they tend to freeze my account when making deposits on pinny. No other problems though.

I've heard quite a few stories of banks closing gamblers' accounts as they were quaking in their boots that there was money laundering going on.

Thanks the investor2 for your help

Personal experience ..avoid RBS..shut me down without warning or explanation.

A mate who is senior there reckoned it was the high cash volumes flowing in and out that scuppered me

LloydsTSB - one of the best. Questions were raised, but after that no problems for years.
Santander - acc closed, never received any explanations.

Never had any debt, no late payments or any problems. My bank (LloydsTSB) loves me, they keep raising my credit card limit, but I barely use it. I love them too :D

Wasn't there a thread about this already?

If there has been a athread before it will still be useful to have as much data for me to make a decesion as to which bank to use, loyds tsb is looking good so far, cant understand why RBS has declined customers as arent they betfairs banker?

Thanks for your comments on behalf of all other customers.

If only credit cards were as picky when gamblers use them to bet with! Could have saved me a small fortune in the past!
