My petition:
Make UK licensed bookmakers accept bets up to a minimum liability of £1000
It has become a common practice for bookmakers within the UK and those that operate in the UK to restrict or close the account of customers and / or to exempt some customers from participating in advertised promotions or enhanced offers. These widespread practises are unfair and discriminate.
Special Terms should continue to be allowed to apply to enhanced offers and advertised promotions which may limit bet size but changes must be made for all customers to be able to participate , without exclusion or discrimination. New South Wales, Australia has recognised these inequities and has legislated to introduced the type of regulation we ask for in this petition.

More than happy to sign it, but it may be worth pointing out that a similar petition was started by somebody else this week, not sure if it's worth just using/spreading that one..?

FFS - Neither petition mentions restrictions on shop customers. Although I admire the intent someone who has a clue about the issues and the process of petition needs to take control of this. If by some absolute miracle enough signatures are obtained on either of the current petitions will the government respond to the discrimination and sharp practices rife in shops nationwide or not?

How the mighty have fallen - a new lads account, one bet on cause of causes at Chelt and one bet on one that shortened yesterday (well beat) and today a max £2.18 on a 8/1 shot (available at same price with a few). You are not even allowed to lose anymore, how the hell can they know that the account will be a long term loser to them after 2 bets? It has got so ridiculous now, it's laughable.
As much as I think this will be very hard to get anywhere, I would love to see some serious momentum and maybe someone in the press take it up... |

By:
lmfao - apologies, it seems I'm being a doughnut - please could you post a link to the petition brief as I can't find any mention of shop customers where I am looking. Thanks and hope you manage the impossible and get enough signatures.

Signed. We must share this far and wide to expect change. Social media is the key.Once the ball starts rolling there will be no stopping.

Avi - the title of the petition-
Make UK licensed bookmakers accept bets up to a minimum liability of £1000 There is no distinction between shops and online - both are included. When posting up a petition I found there are strict limitations on the number of letters- this to encourage brevity- and it is not possible to expand the argument/ case being made either in the title of the petition or the 'more details ' section- the idea is - get support in principle and sort out the details in debate at a later stage. If you can support this please copy/click on the link in the original post- and spread the word : here it is again: Click this link to sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/126319/sponsors/jTQaz3xBgrDkXvYCVxCi |

Magic- I've had a skybet account restricted to pennies- when i checked- i was losing with them - LOL
|
|
By:
Had a new sky for Cheltenham and had about 6 bets and at a loss, now max £50 takeout. The lot of them seem to be getting worse by the week, yet the BHA think there isn't a problem at all!
If this does get some serious momentum I may be able to get a reporter involved too. |
