Not a wind up and ask you as like myself we both deal with them. It's a genuine letter which means my BF days are over. Let me know and I will send you the context of the letter.

How does a letter from Barclays end you on BF?, Just carry on after timing as you usually do...
You were calling "steve" a woman beater the other week and now you want his help? 
depositing and withdrawing and depositing 4 figs is 100% going to lead to a bank taking notice.

I'm confused. Steve and stewyb are the 2 biggest winners on Betfair (or so we're led to believe) and Barclays have decided you will no longer be able to withdraw your substantial winnings back to your Barclays account? I must be missing something?
I think it went something along the lines of 'We are a responsible company, regulated by the FCA, and are duty bound to identify compulsive behaviour which may be detrimental to your mental health. We shall be suspending any deposits to gambling businesses with immediate effect and encourage you to seek help for NPD.'
Was it? Or did they think he was money-laundering, or was it straightforward Farage-style debanking?
"...... which means my BF days are over".

Barclays allow you to block/limit payments to gambling companies but I can't find anything online that suggests it's not your decision.
Looks like Stewy B has been withdrawing far too much for comfort from his Barclays account to Betfair.

loads of bookies have had bank account closed so wouldn't be a surprise although this may be more nature of spend eg. "Betfair £1000 a month Asda £50 a month."
The other issue with bookies is a lot of them were running ordinary bank accounts as business accounts in order to avoid bank charges.
Long story short they have associated it with money laundering which I play no part of or they would have closed my account.
Amazingly I looked at the back of the letter today and they know all about my Post Office account, telling me that's a 10k limit. Why would they know I had A PO account??
Barclays don't run the PO.

*And if I pay 10k into my PO account that means that will be included in my 20k limit. When did the PO become part of Barclays?
post office is used by money launderers to accept cash deposits, so if you have been moving money from post office to barclays and then depositing it in betfair and then withdrawing (layering), you couldn't possibly imitate money laundering any better.
What have I to gain by this steve? Absolutely SFA.
the usual .. attention seeking

I should add that I have two accounts and when I say PO my other account is with the co op bank. I will phone to see exactly what is going on.
I can only pay into my co-op account by the post office as there is not a branch in Aberdeen.

what kind of cash sums are you paying over the PO counter and how often ?
I can only pay into my co-op account by the post office as there is not a branch in Aberdeen
that's now even worse
post office - co-op - barclays - betfair - barclays.
It's an absolute miracle that you haven't been flagged before now.

yeah 15 years ago bank phoned me and mentioned my gambling ( doing arbing backing with bookie BOG laying on here ) They told me I was winning ! I said how do you know ? 
So it does show they are interested.
So it does show they are interested.
** To dave. I have been....twice....by BF but passed both times.
Or let me put it another way. I can deposit 5k into BF every day. Not something I do but I can do it. Whether that technique would last long is another matter.
so a false alarm and another look at me thread, normal service
It's not Betfair the thread is about. If you've been paying hundreds/thousands in cash over a PO counter....
Well he's certainly got the attention he craves with this one.
This amount exceeds your maximum daily budget. You may deposit between £5.00 and £5,000.00 or contact us to discuss.
As that stands, if I wanted to I could deposit 35k per week. Now reduced to 400 per week from the 1st of July. That said, I've just opened a Nationwide account.
No idea how they operate but will find out soon enough.

" It's a genuine letter which means my BF days are over." Is that now incorrect ?

Missed this one ss. This was Barclays decision, due to money laundering. Nothing to do with gambling companies.

so now you tell us you a bit of laundering is allowed but not a heavy load 
Their words, not mine. As I said if I was suspected I wouldn't be allowed to deposit and my account would be closed.
Christ, you are thick.

good job we retain a few Scottish intellectuals on here to maintain standards
i'm sure many are wondering if you had any other post today?
perhaps a letter from the Dr re your request for viagra, or maybe you got some junk mail you could run through for us, such as a pizza menu or a sale leaflet for DFS which would be fascinating for the forum?

I think it's fair to assume you can withdraw ALL of your winnings if there are any!

adge, I see, maybe that could be problematic if it's been moved from bank to bookie to building society etc, money laundering or else it indicates a problem, much like betting with credit cards used to be.
Dear Stewarty
We at Barclays have become increasing concerned about
your deposits to betfair.Although betfair have stated
that you are a master of aftertiming,sadly your p&l
does not confirm this. Therefore we unfortunately taken
the decision to put restrictions upon your account before
the inevitable happens and you go kapoot.
We have noticed you occasionally become obstreperous
which we know is brought on by your obsession with the
Betfair forums Rico Flapsadangling.

Got the dreaded letter...:(
As you use your account to pay in cash, we wanted to let you know from 1 July 2024, we’re introducing a maximum £20,000 cash limit you can pay into your personal accounts each year. This will restart each January.
If you have more than one personal account with us, this means the total amount of cash you can pay in across all of them is £20,000, including any children’s savings accounts.
This doesn’t include cash you’ll pay into any business current account you might have.
If you run a business but don’t have a separate account for it and need a higher cash deposit limit, search ‘Barclays business banking’ to find out more about our business accounts. It’s important to keep your business and personal accounts separate.
Why we’re doing this
The National Crime Agency estimates that over £35 billion has been laundered in the UK. Introducing our cash deposit limit will help us fight financial crime.
For joint accounts
Any cash paid into your personal joint account counts towards the yearly cash deposit limit for each account holder.
Here’s an example of how the limit would work if you have a joint account and a sole account with us:
•
If you or the person you’re sharing your account with pay £16,000 cash into your joint account, you’ll both have £4,000 cash remaining to pay into your joint or sole account for the rest of the year
Any cash you pay into your sole accounts will only count towards your own cash deposit limit and won’t affect the limit for anyone you share a joint account with.
Post Office limits
There’s already a £10,000 cash deposit limit at the Post Office, which will still apply. Any cash you pay in at Post Office branches from 1 January 2024 will also count towards your yearly cash deposit limit of £20,000.
•
This means from 1 January 2024, you could pay in £10,000 at Post Offices and from 1 July 2024, up to £10,000 in our branches each year
•
Or you could pay in all £20,000 in our branches, but then nothing at a Post Office.
How your cash deposits count towards your limit
When you pay in cash at one of our branch counters or self-service devices, it’ll count towards your overall cash deposit limit.
When you pay in cash at a Post Office, it’ll count towards both your overall limit and your Post Office limit.
We’ll also let you know when you’re near your limit. For help setting up notifications, search ‘Barclays free alerts’.
If you need help

This is a Barclays-wide thing, not just for gamblers. https://www.barclays.co.uk/help/payments/how-do-i-pay-cash-in-at-branches
Presumably to prevent money laundering, but mightily inconvenient if you need to legitimately move a lot of cash around for some reason.

See, it's all for your own good, they're looking after you, and it's absolutely nothing to do with tip-toeing towards a cashless society and control through digital currencies.

Anti-money laundering and anti-tax evasion. Of course, you'd spend a lot of that £20,000 driving around looking for a bank branch that is still open.

be nice if i could take a photo of a few fifty pound notes and upload them to my account as per cheques on the basis my nearest branch is an hr away, no idea why they won't do it
Small town where I live had three banks and a building society 20 years ago and now nothing at all other than a post office.
Even main post offices are now closing. If you are lucky you will be left with a PO counter in WHSmiths.
