As TheGoddess says, blame the GC. I don't imagine the bookies are jumping with joy at turning away punters' money. Exactly…but petrified of the heavy fines…… |

must be a better way to identify problem gamblers and chase them individually for proof of funds than go for a blunderbuss everyone's limited to £3 a day approach. that doesn't make sense.
you've got pensioners doing a few quid a day being chased for bank statements cos someones blown a gasket and done 20 grand in a day, whilst they sat and watched him doing it. |

any big bet has to be approved anyway.

Being limited by virtue-signallers to a daily 30p yankee while watching old biddies at Asda flinging £50 notes across the counter for ****, booze and scratch-cards seems reasonable.

**** = cigarettes.
Forum's a nanny state too. |

Horse Racing is one of the few things that the UK is a world leader at (OK prize money is a big issue but we can talk about that another day) It's something to be proud of.

|
|
By:
why is the minimum bet on here still £1 ??
when they're limiting people to £3 a day. that's 3 bets if my maths is correct. |
|
By:
forcing 25p punters to go 4 times what they want to bet.
sounds slightly irresponsible ... |

the 100 pm is normally temporary until you provide proof of income, if they've asked and you've not provided or tried to contact you and you didn't respond they apply it until you give info, then they agree a new figure and you're on that limit per month going forward
|
|
By:
There has been several forumites admitting they are 100 max a month
|
|
By:
a few won't provide their details so possibly there's quite a lot on 100 and some casual players will be ok with that
|
|
By:
as in they've done kyc but won't do the financial stuff as they see it as private
|

Strange daq after u tooo

Play for £2 a time until the dust settles…..or that rancid outfit get kicked into touch

must be extremely casual on £3 a day |
|
By:
Elise is spot on- happened to me till info was received- on £1500 a month limit now but did take 45 mins. Surprised people only just getting the email must be 2 years since I had a limit.

minimum bet £1 doesn't leave you a lot  |

Ladycarla. What did u give them

They don't see it as private, it is private!

some people bet once per week or less and a few quid a race, or do the odd multi
they are picking up multiple deposits, people who they feel are losing large amounts, arbers as they cannot see the other books, some people have large balances and don't deposit much, the limit is on deposits currently |

Bank statement proof of address and photo ID

I got an email a while back…
Thank you for the concern but I enjoy my punting and my cash was earned by myself…. Everything is good here.I won’t hold you accountable if I do the lot… |
|
By:
and whilst many consider it private, if you want to bet under the current legislation they are required to check, you have the choice of being on fck all deposit or providing income so that they can prove they've done their due diligence
|

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
 |

By:
For 1500 a month. U must be on a very high wage
|
|
By:
well in some ways you do because it's based in some part on your credit history and stuff like experian, so they have a mark on you for all banking matters
|
|
By:
It's not about considering private, it is private. Farage managed to clear out a few bankers for disclosing his private banking information.
What legislation is that? |
|
By:
Many still not getting this, if the AC's stopped tomoz and the Govt told the books not to worry you don't need to perform checks on your customers anymore, guess what, it would make absolutely no difference whatsover, the books for years have been restricting punters for years anyway, long long before AC checks were a thing and they will carry on stopping punters who they don't want regardless.
|
|
By:
Pity Farage wasn’t a player in the punting world he would be good fighting for the punters….
|
|
By:
Yes they can get a credit report. I don't have to prove my income, or anything else. There is nothing else in society I'm aware of that you are expected to give away personal financial data to be able to spend your own money.
|
|
By:
Freddie- I wouldn't call it a high wage but think it's all about disposable income, why I tell everyone to go on live chat, the more they know the better I guess.
