blocks every vpl ive tried
im still restricted to as much as i want despite being well in front bog 6 runners 3 places would probably work if done at random and as early as poss. likewise 11/12 runners 4 places if there are a couple of roughies that cant win. ive taken bog 12/1 that won at 33 so not beating prices. not after-timing either as i put it up here |

I’ve tried a couple of free VPN’s whilst on holiday. Neither of them could get me onto their site. Odd that they seem to be able to detect them, yet you can easily bet on your phone with them.

I'm restricted like many but haven't been closed but I have an ante post football bet still very much live so I guess they can't close me,however as the bet was struck with a bet credit I had before I was restricted I would be expecting some funny business from them should the bet win.

Coates "earns" 400 million a year. About 1.1 million per DAY. But casual punters can't get a 10er on at 4s. Something seriously wrong here. They need to be ruthlessy investigated by someone who knows what to look for. Where's all this loot coming from? It's so bad now the crooks don't want you losing money YOUR way they want you losing it THEIR way.

Ive had a number of accounts with said firm closed/restricted. After retiring i moved house and changed banks .I opened a new account and am still able to use it .I expect i will get an email soon,
if and when i do ,that will be me finished with gambling |

By:
if you're closed down without just cause you should be able to object to their license. far too heavily weighted in their favour - you had £3 on a horse at 5/2, and it won at 13/8. please don't gamble with us anymore, traders decision. wtf ??

what a complete p@sstake this is there more bothered about affordability checks were the £20 deposit as come from not a f@cking murmur about any of these c@nts taking a bet its about time the gambling commission gets on to these c@nts to start taking a reasonable bet all good wanting people to sign a petition to keep the game going for the ar@e lickers no mention of helping the punter within reason apart from the online casinos thats robbing all the mugs etc etc is there ?? merry xmas all the clever f@ckers ha
|

By:
Also if there was a petition ref to punters being unfairly closed blocked restricted due to beating the sp by a fraction it would put the affordability petition to shame all one way n we all no which way dont we ?

I used to keep roughly £50 in the account and have 1 or 2 mug bets a year to access there football streaming as i think its the best site for streaming a large number of leagues and i got culled last week whereby i was assured my £50 would be refunded, so a week later i checked and no refund had occurred causing me to get annoyed to chase it up then i was finally refunded 24 hrs after chasing it up but they just had to take the Michael at the end absolutely no justification to hold on to that money when they had the correct bank details confirmed by myself and confirmed when it would be refunded.
Laughably i had been heavily restricted for the past several years for having the temerity to win a few horse races a good few years back as these were lucky wins as i know very little about horse racing so i was reduced to peanuts for every sport because of that,its just a joke that this lot are allowed to cream in millions from there casino and gaming activities and mug accas yet restrict or ban average punters who suddenly might win a little bit. |

By:
exactly roache all this publicity sign this sign that to keep the industry going devastation to the prize money if affordability checks happen ffs get onto bookies to take a chance ie take a bet dont rely on the crackheads doing the lot on online gaming /roulette its all a game of chance well all the bookies ffs take a chance on what was set out to be many many years ago rather than just rely on fleecing the online slots etc etc never heard of anyone shouting out for bookmakers taking a bet in which there licence was issued for c@nts

The Minimum Bet Laws (MBLs) are a blessing for Australian punters, especially the successful ones! Without minimum betting laws, online bookies could pick and choose which wagers they would accept.
Whilst the limits depend on the state or territory, the MBLs guarantees that Australian punters can bet on all races with all Wagering Service Providers (WSPs). How minimum bet laws are calculated is based on the amount of profit you can make is after the stake is returned to you. This is somewhat like the old days of fractional odds, so for example, if a horse is $5 and the limit is $2,000 you can place a $500 fixed odds bet on that horse to win $2,500 where $500 is your original stake and $2,000 is your profit. The laws are as follows: “Approved Australian off-course wagering operators are required to lay the odds displayed for fixed odds bets after 9:00am on race-day for thoroughbred day meetings or 2:00pm on race-day for thoroughbred night meetings to the limits below” (9am onwards for all meetings in QLD and the ACT) What are the Minimum Bet Limit Rules Provided the wagering service provider’s annual turnover is over $5m, bookmakers must not: Refuse to accept a fixed odds bet. Close a person’s account. Refuse to open a person’s account. Place any restrictions on a person’s account. Refuse to lay a fixed odds bet to any person when those fixed odds are publicly displayed. Laying lesser odds to a person than those publicly displayed. Perform any other act or refuse to do an act in order to avoid these provisions. Racing NSW Minimum Bet Limits The key points of the minimum bet limit conditions are as follows: Wagering operators are not to take actions such as closing a punter’s accounts, refusing to open a punter’s account or placing restrictions on a punter’s account solely to avoid complying with the minimum bet limit conditions. However, wagering operators are still able to take such actions for legitimate reasons including undisclosed bowlers (persons betting on behalf of other persons), responsible gambling, fraudulent activity, money-laundering and other integrity related reasons such as the punter being warned off or disqualified. Wagering operators are required to lay the odds displayed for fixed odds bets to the limits below. The minimum bet limit has been set at levels which are considered to be fair and balanced. Those levels were requested by most punters (although some professional punters requested higher levels) yet are still higher than what was requested by most wagering operators. For Australian Wagering Operators with Net Assessable Turnover on NSW Thoroughbred races greater than or equal to $5 million For Australian Wagering Operators with Net Assessable Turnover on NSW Thoroughbred races greater than or equal to $5 million |

^^^^ this, needs to be brought in here asap.
the scalping is out of control |
|
By:
if you apply for a bookmakers licence, get it granted, then scalp anyone who bets on anything other than the casino (meaning nobody can bet on horses) you have effectively gained a casino licence.
otherwise known as a licence to print money. |

It is a pity that there are no longer MP's that liked a bet like Robin Cook or Alec Salmond, todays MP's like bookies hospitality to much to rock the boat.The Racing Post is just a bookies mouthpiece so apart from a token moan every few months

By:
hulk doesn't seem to know what "scalping" means in gambling/trading, which is ironic as it was what he claimed "£108 man" was doing to him before he changed to claiming that "£108 man" was not only identifying def losers but, in defiance of the laws of supply and demand, shortening their prices by asking for greater odds than available.

Duffy. They will never close you completely...just leave the casino option permenentely open just in case. I used to do loads of football with them, which lasted a year. One too many two up bonuses landed for their liking. So since may 2023 i am only left with on line fruit machines from them. They are not abookmaker at all

yes. that's the problem. i'll re-post this, you maybe missed it - Provided the wagering service provider’s annual turnover is over $5m, bookmakers must not: Refuse to accept a fixed odds bet. Close a person’s account. Refuse to open a person’s account. Place any restrictions on a person’s account. Refuse to lay a fixed odds bet to any person when those fixed odds are publicly displayed. Laying lesser odds to a person than those publicly displayed. Perform any other act or refuse to do an act in order to avoid these provisions. that's the way it should be here also. but the GC and all concerned are in bed with the bookies |

and that. there is a place for these gubbings. but it should only be for the reasons listed above, not our traders have noticed you've been with us for a while and despite numerous attempts we've still not been able to get you hooked on the casino, so goodbye. |
