they've removed the option. part of safer gambling. an absurd decision
|
|
By:
the worlds gone mad no reasoning to it whatsover.
|
|
By:
no communication about it either. I'd complain but i may as well pee into the wind
|
|
By:
Still there on mobile app.
|
|
By:
a few years ago, when in an internet cafe, it was a good option as you don't want strangers glancing and seeing how much the balance is !
|
|
By:
you could try helpdesk but i'd imagine you'd give battle in vain
|
|
By:
What the hell? Absolutely ridiculous - if I have a big day I like to keep it hidden as to avoid you know, going on tilt - safer gambling my arse.
|
|
By:
exactly, it's the oppposite of safer gambling. problem gamblers are less likely to hide their balance. it's a tool good traders use to not get obsessed with outcome
|
|
By:
Is it really to do with "safe gambling"??? Ridiculous if it is.
I now have a rectangular bit of blu-tack stuck the screen.... ffs |
|
By:
I've just posted but nothing has appeared
|
|
By:
same, albeit a bit of white paper sellotaped.
it's one of those decisions they haven't thought about, it's like a governmental decision, oh it will help problem gamblers- how exactly? it's mostly the pros who have it hidden |
|
By:
Where is this option? Never noticed it before.
|
|
By:
helpdesk are saying it's nothing to do with safer gambling but a web developer issue, could be a glitch, getting back to me
|
|
By:
Good Afternoon, the option is currently available on the app, however, it has been removed from the website. Apologies.
Why does it always feel like im talking to a bot. |
|
By:
feature removed, won't be returning. ridiculous decision
|
|
By:
It’s not been removed.. working fine here on IPhone app.
|
|
By:
this is bloody typical of BF upgrades. They roll 'em out... wait for us to test them... and then they roll 'em back. Been going on for decades.
|
|
By:
still on the app but removed from website, no apparent reasoning behind it, just a Big Brother thing, Betfair wanting to control everything
|
|
By:
when you say "feature removed" betting_masta - is that the reply from the helpdesk???
did you ask them why it's still an option available on the app??? |
|
By:
it's being removed from all platforms apparently in the coming weeks
|
|
By:
"It has been removed to be in compliance with new rulings brought in regarding gambling sites in the UK & Ireland"
|
|
By:
Gone for me too, you can manually block the balance with an adblocker though and that's what I've done.
|

By:
Dont think thatll be popular, know a couple that like to bet at BFSP, purposefully not tune into any racing, sometimes leaving RacingUK recorded on SkyGo for days on end, hiding balance until watched, bla. Sounds like a poor idea to me but if you think how much time you can save whilst they f around at the start it does sound more appealing.
What is difficult about adding it via a different dropdown menu. |
|
By:
good thinking CC.
|
|
By:
how do you do that @CC
|
|
By:
I use the "alternative colour scheme" on the website and have never seen this option before. Can someone please tell me where that hide option was located.
|
|
By:
My adblocker is called adblock, install it free and it gives an option on the toolbar to hide something on this page, and just click on the part of the page that shows the balance.
|
|
By:
I think it was when you click the arrow next to balance there was a Hide Balance option
|
|
By:
you've just saved my life CC

Who's a clever bear CustomCut  Yep, it works, and if want to see your balance you can have another window open for Account/MyBest/etc and it's still visible there. ... and breathe.... Ok, just in time to start making [lots of] money |

By:
Got it thanks alot CC, also a nice little side victory over the big brother ghouls at bf

|
By:
Sparrow, maybe you didn't see it because your balance was just too big to fit on the screen??

Presumably from a "Responsible Gambling" perspective - they are still working on the option to "hide" the Casino, Slots, Live Casino, Exchange Games Bingo and Virtual Sports?
 |
|
By:
I like your style TM :)
Though TBF it does sort-of exist - I permanently self-excluded from everything apart from sports betting when I first opened my account (not that I don't trust myself, more a damage-limitation in case of my account being hacked in the days before 2FA). |

I might have to ask them to make the 'Deposit' button smaller if I go through the £1m barrier....
