If you don't want to give info, take a year off and deposit every month and start with £1200 bank next year.

By:
Fortunately i can take it or leave it, i've other things i can spend my hard earned on, so i won't be sending this private information

if you make your living on here then unless you provide some info they are highly likely to stick a deposit limit on your account, just on that they won't include any money you make from gambling so winners whether in running / arbers / traders whatever are going to need other details to allow them to keep a reasonable agreed deposit limit, what they ask for is intrusive but there's no option
if you play for fun / as a hobby and you don't wish to provide you don't need to |

By:
I don't think it is private, if you pay tax and have bank accounts they know, obviously legally they not suppose too which is why they have to ask for the info.

bookmakers can't see it and they are being asked to prove they've checked people that are losing money, you'd have to give permission for them to see it and they don't ask for it if they could see credit ratings it might help but they'd still have to show that over a certain level they checked

Freddie do you work for HMRC
 I don't have mortgage/rent to pay which are the killers especially if you're young, biggest bill is council tax and I hate that DD every month because they do f/all these days, don't even sweep the streets anymore  |

I don't have to prove my income to get a £16K liability on a credit card (as I stooze I have £100K+ potential liability across over a dozen cards!) But might have to, to place a bet Crazy Cider, be aware the new gambling regs coming are likely to flag up high credit utilisation and debt-to-income ratios as signs of financial vulnerability. I've stopped stoozing for this very reason. |

By:
just to clarify, the bookmakers can't see enough information, especially when dealing withwhat are considered high risk players, the exchnage has always been filled with high risk players

Restrictions on exchanges Duffy. Nobody got that before ac Fair point but what if they are now thinking of along the lines of, if you are a winning exchange player and it's judged that you might be winning off people who also lose on the fobt's, so they remove you and free up more money for the fobt players. |

nobody got restricted on the exchange bcos it was person to person. now padi's ball deep in every market, he's probably fielding the other side of your bet and as such is a bit jiggy about who he's taking bets from. |

A few I know have limits. They thought it waste of time giving info. .wages minus bills.
Most I know don't touch the sportsbook |
|
By:
They don't care as long as they've done their checks they are clear, it's all about the fines.

Cheers jamee1. I won't be doing any hoop jumping though. |

Notyit

Was ac 2 years ago. How time flies

Deposit what you need for a bank before they restrict you.

personally I have one significant event a year where my liability is 100x + of regular betting pattern. I'm not going to keep that as a bf bank in case I might need it in 9 months. In any case, it might not even be as lucrative this year.
|

By:
Let say I earn 40k.before t and I.
2600 a month clear. No rent no mortgage. Will they give me 1500 limit a month Ladycarla |
|
By:
Don't see why not Freddie, you can afford it, only reason I can see is if they've moved the goalposts since 2 years ago but I doubt that.
|
|
By:
Thanks.

By:
No problem lets hope you get another year before you have to do the drill.

if you've got a monster acca running up and you want to lay the last one here for £20,000 to guarantee a profit will they increase your limit for half an hour ?
|
|
By:
Think I must of been one of the first and I know why, lost 2 grand over a weekend and next week got the email. Think it's a grand in 24 hours now so stop at 900 if you have a dreadful run.

i dropped 2k the other day on a race and expected a call because ive been told they are flagging 1k loss, not called as yet
|
|
By:
With how fast they move last leg would need to be at least 72 hours later
|
|
By:
i dropped 13k a few months ago and i got a call on that one lol
|
|
By:
Good info lads.
|
|
By:
2K they wont bother if you got cleared for 13K  |

I still can’t see how they can square the prospect of a person paying PC regularly and them have to ask about your financials to see if you are ‘vulnerable’ enough to deposit.
It didn’t bother then taking half your profit, and that is a no betting transaction, they take it because they think you do too well, it’s totally artificial. So I’d like to hear if any PC payers are getting asked for this sort of info? On a side issue, I read a while back changing details on an account can trigger a request. Well my account is golden, I’m not going into it but if I get a request then nobody is safe. I havnt had one, but my bank card runs out end of this month and I’m wondering whether updating might cause an issue? Has anyone refused to add new details and just start taking money out through PayPal? |

Different thread but same old song being sung by many, blame Bookmakers etc etc etc when in fact all BF are doing is simple housekeeping by verifying accounts and imposing a temporary limit whilst the admin is done. They may not be doing a very efficient job of it but it is far from affordability checks in accordance with GC proposals.
Blaming the Bookies is boring and stupid, suggesting they want to have their businesses dismantled and restricted makes as much sense as Undertakers voting to ban pandemics or turkeys voting for Christmas to be twice a year!!! |

By:
think they go round and pick up regularly, i've been picked up twice since this came into play, tbf they've been good about it, strangely they didnt look at lifetime earnings before calling they just call people flagged i think, they initially are only interested in your deposit level compared to what they deem reasonable v earnings (no gambling)
|

By:
toby, it's intrusive and there's a view that it's your money and your choice, they are being forced to check for those out of control but the net is too big (imo)
