Really? I'd only access the past 3 months p+l account. None was about £10. I barely bet. I do not even incur bank / credit card interest / fee for misuse.

limiting everyone to buttons ensures you are the dominant force in every market.
£100 a month ? there's more than that jumping in front of all my bets, and the vast majority of them are losing. presume whoever that is isn't on a ton deposit a month. |

How is AC a good thing if someone has accounts with 30 different betting companies, shops all over the high street and oncourse

There is more money spent on cosmetics by women each day than gamblers spend in a week.
The women spend it to stay young,the gamblers spend it to get more money. At least the gambler has a chance of winning.  |

The irony is that when we are all restricted we can use the money we save to go out and get well and truly as sozzled as a lord which will cost the NHS and society far more than gambling ever has.

a lot of this is down to profiling.
by asking you how much you earn, they're not really bothered if you can afford to lose. they want to know how much they can rinse you for. Tell them you earn 300k a year, they'll invite you to Chester races for canapes and cheap champagne. we're your friend remember. we like you. |

What is continually missed is that they are associating problem gambling solely with the finances side of it and remedying that.
What about the guy who can afford to bet and passesall the checks but bets to the exclusion of his family and friends causing them distress, society hasn't got a problem with him has it. |

If Betfair puts a compulsory 100 on an account.....that person has been reckless Not if you're drawing state pension, 10% is the max anybody should gamble of their income according to guidelines, assets don't come into it as they are classed as future inheritance. |

10 percent....that's the funniest thing I've read in a long time

its the winners that get restricted ,not the losers.

Used to be just the winners now it's both for your own safety. The latest study showed that 55% of online gambling came from high to middle risk problem gamblers so the industry in turn will achieve halfling their profits- what other business would do that- can just see my local doing that one

It only implies to the UK Freddie, Asians can bet all night till either their bank goes or they get too tired!!
GG poker were well ahead of competitors, 2016 they targeted the Asian market and the money on their site is mind blowing- weekend they will have a million players logged on  |

The Anti Gambling Commission will continue at full steam ahead until legally challenged (which is exactly what the hapless BHA should have done at the start of their lunacy).

anyone beating the price will be restricted, regardless of the result. if you are punting 9/2 shots at 7/1 your name will come up, and you can leave the premises. even if it finishes last. and they'll also pass your details onto every other bookie, so they know you too. |

By:
I'll never conform with the over-zealousness of bookies enforcing AC on a punter like myself. I should NEVER be subject to it; financial data and bets can easily testify to it. Unless the bookies and their employees at their AC department are governed by the FCA I'll NEVER agree and oblige to it.
I see bookies (not the high street ones) as licensed "crooks" and bullies; unqualified and arrogant; rude, disrespectful and disinterested. They only trawl out the company bias and odious t&c; they read from a script. A review of their activities and social responsibilities is long overdue. I hope AC will encourage the authority to initiate a due diligence on the practices of bookies and fobt. |

U were put on a hunner amonth and thought nothing of it.....u won't have any ac issues

No issue here, not even post the Man City trophy bets (prolonged suspension) which involved IBAS. Now, 365 and 'sly' have restricted me to 100p and 250p superboost respectively. As such, I'd not go near them in fear of another AC similar to 'ladcrookes'.
On the flipside I've more time for other things eg daily walks, eating out and socialising, etc. My eyes are less tired and fingers fatigue away from the screen. |
