I used to be able to bet in my local Hills Shop and only bet in Graded races with decent stakes accepted by cash or debit card for some time.
When I went in for a bet there was a letter awaiting me asking for;12 months unredacted Bank Statements for 12 months and a list of my current assets. I asked if I accepted these ludicrous conditions that I would be accomodated he said that he could not. Needless to say,I declined their offer. You cannot get a copper on the horses in the Shops but can you do your balls on the FOBT's,Captain. |

Right UTI, I mostly use the machines (not the FOBT’s). Don’t really like dealing with some of the ars’s behind the counters.

uptheirons -- "Without wishing to denigrate anybody,the £20 punters can get on,others cannot."
Er, no. Lots of small punters have been blocked, some because they are shrewd, usually (as Corals acknowledged) collateral damage because they unknowingly land on the same selections as the sharks and their putter-onners who are the intended targets. |

Licensing objectives
The Gambling Act 2005 (opens in new tab) sets out the following licensing objectives. These are: preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder or being used to support crime ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way protecting children and other vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited by gambling. We are responsible for making sure all licensing applications meet these objectives. The Gambling Commission is clearly not fulfilling their objectives. |

"The figures here are extremely revealing, with almost 60 per cent of accounts restricted to ten per cent or less of the desired stake."

Just imagine if they had actually got hold of some meaningful instead of the data they asked for!
Would probably reveal that the so-called licensed and regulated bookmakers, should have been charging the so-called Black Market bookmakers a commission, for all the customers that they were sending to them.  |
