Trying to get paid out in a Ladbrokes shop they haven't any money

Can't they get an area manager to collect it from another shop and drop it off?

Get them to put it on your card. It is more hygienic for a start.

Been there got the tee shirt

Plenty in the FOTB. Get the cash from there

Practice like this should no be excused as acceptable.

Firstly they are a bookmakers, its supposedly how the business works.

Secondly I could understand a bit and sympathise if it was £7k but £700 is absolutely pathetic, what a farce.

not be excused as passed off* as acceptable

thats a idea can they put it on  debit card anyone know ?

Lads couldnt give me £152 last Saturday afternoon!!!! Had to walk a whole 100 metres to the next Ladbrokes! Joke.

i can see shops shutting no one person in today

Yes. Done it for me loads of times

You need to speak to the organ grinder not the monkeys , went into one of their shops to pick up a large football bet told there was no money in the shop but to come back the following day and they would have it.

Went back the next day only to be told there was nothing in the safe and the employee knew nothing about the bet  despite them telling me the money would be there , then told me to come back in a couple of hours and they would open the FOBT's and see if there was enough to pay me out.

Went back home phoned Ladcrooks head office explained the situation , phoned me back 5 minutes later and told me the money would be in the shop within 15 minutes and it was mind you the look on the two sourpusses behind the counter was well worth the extra trouble they must have got the biggest rollocking of their lives

They should have asked you if you wanted it back on a card if they had no money.

hmmm I would have thought that putting proceeds of a cash bet on a debit card would breach anti money laundering regs.

Yes they would have anti money laundering protocol but I doubt his bet was nothing near what they would call money laundering. Nothing wrong with being paid back on a card.

As Ramruna stated .Get em to pay it to card.
Ask yourself how many hands will that cash have been thro before its got you.?
Would you shake hands with that many? Of course not.

DO NOT USE CASH UNLESS YOU HAVE TO.

Go back today, write out a £500 win bet at Dundalk and say i`ll pop the money in Monday

The number one difficulty for the money launderer is getting cash into the bank.  Allowing people in bookmakers to put cash winnings into bank accounts via debit cards and thus circumventing the banks controls seems to be an unlikely permissible practice.  Having said that if someone has been properly ID'd by the bookie and the debit card was used to place the bet it would probably be ok.

A bit like getting re-imbursed from Ryanair i had two flights cancelled i applied for a refunf ten days ago and 5 days ago nothing returned to my card .......they can take it out in seconds but an age to get monies returned.............in fairnest to BET365 I with drew money wedesday evening and they returned it today and the day i withdrew the money thet gave me a free 25 euro bet laft roughly half my bank with them

update

went in late afternoon still no money asked about debit card payment no problem did it straight away .... result  just by the looks of it

dealer

Ronnie.

No problem

Thanks for all the advice, i didnt know they coud do that, thats exactly what a forum should be about

I do find it odd they had no money and obviously was in preparation for the shut down, these large firm/ industry's do know before whats about to happen its not a shock to them the government pre warns them as i found in 2008 with the bent barclays who cancelled a appointment and refused to speak to me days before the meltdown as i was after  changing a normal rate mortgage i had with them to a tracker mortgage which was a 0.05 over base rate which high street office staff had been warned not to deal in anymore.

Luckily went barclays direct who warned me to return forms immediately and got it 2 days before the banks nearly went bust, it saved me a fortune and just shows what goes on behind the scenes, its not a shoch they do know

They don't keep excess money in shops purely down to the economics. If you think about it, if a company has 2000 shops and each shop kept back £800 that would tie up £1.6 million on the off chance the shop might need it. No good to the punter waiting but I can see why they do it.

They probably got used to having a load of emergency money sloshing around in the fobts too,& haven’t got around to changing their practices.
