Just tried to log-in to the Sporting Life site. They want me to verify it with a photo and a document to show proof of address.
Is it April 1st.

I only want to see a race replay. I'm not asking for a loan.
The world is going mad.

Mine was fine , might be a Skybet requirement .
Report impossible123 • February 26, 2025 8:16 AM GMT
Mine is ok too. Try logging-in using a bookie's account eg 'sly'. Good luck!

I think the "new" conditions may have something to do with selling private (up-to-date) info and managing (AC).

Can you log-in to see race replays without being asked to verify. I cant
Report 1st time poster • February 26, 2025 9:04 AM GMT
I can through slybet
Report clacton • February 26, 2025 9:09 AM GMT
I dont have a slybet account. Closed it years ago.

ATR or RUK website show all replays without having to login
Report clacton • February 26, 2025 11:51 AM GMT
I found it on RUK.
Thanks for the help.

Fine for me too, just logged in as per usual and watched a replay.

No skyb account, just a regular SL username and password

I didn't think i'd be asked for personal information from a racing website before a bookmaker asks me for it. At least they dont want bank statements. Laugh

Beware! Stalking could be next.

Sorry to be late on this thread but just had the same problem myself. I can't believe the stupidity of it, as N East points out its free on ATR and RTV.

Anyone got the problem of log-in OK but then you have to repeatedly log in multiple times during the day ?  Any way to solve it ?

Probably solutions out there for other browsers but if you're using Chrome maybe this would work...

almost impossible to open a bank acc/power of att etc without a valid passport or a new modern driving licence,birth cert which you need to get the passport counts for nothing, 3rd on the list which as I have a few potential targets on my list including a few building soc/banks and so is my current fav is a SHOTGUN LICENCE, not sure why a bank.building soc would advocate a shotgun licence as  acceptable ID

It's started asking me for this today. Two forms of ID "to prove who you are and where you live" Not a chance. I'll manage without sporting life.
Report ease • May 22, 2025 1:21 PM BST
Just wondering, has anyone managed to read the "sporting life plus" articles without the clowns asking for Driving Licence etc?

Like a death when the original was taken out…..life and chronicle typical Saturday morning over breakfast.
