I,ve just tried to top up my account with Sportingbet to discover that they are adding a £1 admin fee to all deposits. It's the first time I know of a bookie charging you for the privilege of placing a bet with them. Does anybody know of anyone else apart from budget airlines trying this dodge ?

is that £1 regardless of whether you deposit a grand or a score?

Regardless. £10 deposit will cost £11. £1,000 deposit will cost £1,001.

It does seem like an incredibly poorly thought out decision.

They were criticising the depositing and withdrawal patterns of some of their customers. If small multiple daily withdrawals/deposits are uneconomic why not invest in a system that pools the daily requests thereby reducing the charges or else put on a limit to the number of free transactions per day to ensure that wrong people are not hit.

If ever there was a case where punters will feel that is the principle rather than the money then this is it.

to be fair he was reduced to photos and stewards a while back.  then paddy decided to load the 1.01's up before he unsuspended the photo markets, left him with the stewards and he's been ripped to pieces on a few of them.  so just left with the old fred routine

presume you were still concussed when you told that reporter your occupation was professional gambler.  does sound better than used car salesman (senior).
