Anyone use them?

I've never bothered to open an account with them as I just assumed they would be a waste of time like the others. Unibet, Betway et al.

Yes.

Victor, the self proclaimed bravest bookie, let me have five bets and then sent me a Dear John letter.

Thank you Loper, sounds exactly what I thought they would be like. I only posted as they are sponsoring some races today and wheeled out the typical 'wet behind the ears' Y.T.S. p.r. numpty saying the usual claptrap. "We laid this, money for that one...blah...blah....etc."
It's all guff of course.

You've got it!

As the Gambling Commission should know, the only restraints on customer accounts are on winning ones!

I have found them to be very good they have taken every bet I have asked for and only limited once on a bet

I am winning a fair few shilling off them as well.

Would like it if they went best odds at 8.00am still I suppose you cant have everything.

My advice would be give them a try.

Thanks for that Seaside, I've had a quick look at their website and it's very shabby in comparison to most other firms. I don't think it's worth the bother for me to open an account with them to be honest.

Slippy VC were the first bookmaker to close me. That was in 2011
Report hulk23 April 26, 2023 11:00 PM BST
closed me an hour before my first bet ran.

had 3 bets with him that day, all placed in the morning.

got an email at 130pm telling me he'd honour those bets but he didn't want me gambling with him anymore.

all 3 subsequently lost.  account closed, 3 bets 3 losers.

Account closed 2012.
They take a very dim view if you take a bit of value, let alone win.
Then they go through the slow payout routine, documents, verification etc.
As they are the ex owners of Walthamstow i'd open an account just to pee them off financially.

Hi SB,

I've had an account with them for many years.

Never had any issues with them.

I tend not use them a lot as I find that there odds are not very competitive.

Thanks for the replies people, ,B.V. are really not for me.
Denise put me on the naughty step permanently for being in front by half of what ELL's balance was with Victor. I felt it was unjust so got to speak to one of her drones who spouted the company line and then had the nerve to send me a link to G.A. which didn't really help much! I don't want the aggro of going through that process another time.

they're all the same slippy.  it's strictly mugs only and their algorithms will quickly finger you if you are anything else.

anyone tells me they've had an account with any of these gangsters for any length of time i'd be concerned they are a problem gambler.
