With an emphasis on horse racing would like to know especially from people who work/worked for bookmakers as to what factors cause an account to be reviewed/restricted.
Obviously we all know beating the sp consistently, arbing, winning, bad e/w betting etc are factors but wanted to know whether factors such as not keeping a balance, withdrawing after each winning bet are factors. Also does ignoring free bet offers/bonuses keep account open longer? Do big withdrawals trigger account reviews etc? Are there particular times when accounts typically get reviewed/overlooked? Would really appreciate specific examples eg: At Will Hill it works like this etc.
Basically would like to compile a thread to help us all maintain our accounts longer and maximise potential profit on bookmaker accounts.
Please if we can keep the responses on here sensible in nature so that people can benefit from the responses and not give up with tons of garbage/spam comments.

racingguru.. bookmakers are not interested in horseracing like they were before the exchanges came along.. unless you bet in fivers you are doomed.
Reynerd, that should read

I've now got a winning BetVictor account that's lasted over 6 months, all of the others lasted a few days/weeks.
The difference here is that I've never withdrawn, even after a big win, so I think that definitely is a trigger with them. They have withdrawn BOG, though, probably because I was beating SP. To a lesser extent (i.e. won less), the same applies to Skybet and Coral.
This same policy however did not work with Betfred, Paddypower, 888, Sportingbet or Bet365, however.

I think it's pretty much the bets you place that will mark you down as having at least half a brain and consequently the books' software will quickly pick you up. Clearly all new accounts will be scrutinised as many are for punters using family/friends names etc, and in reality only truly recreational punters will last for more than 5 minutes. There are always examples of the odd account of a shrewdie lasting a little longer, but they are exceptions imo.
Limiting withdrawals, keeping balaces low, throwing in a few mug bets etc do not in my experience achieve much - the nature of your betting is everything these days. As Reynerd said unless you are prepared to bet in small stakes then sadly you can forget it.

If you open an account, put a chunk of money in, and don't bet with it for a while - that will get it marked.
BetVic does seem to be the most trigger-happy account closer, which is odd because surely they have least shops and therefore FOBTs?
IDKW...yes I agree,but I think its more about the bookies cards not being marked anymore ...all the wise guys in the know come on here.
opened s j account used it only on saturdays generally had two bets in hcps max 10ew closed after 7 weeks for in their words betting patterns even though i lost 155 quid made no sense to me
