Hi

I closed a couple of bookie accounts that I don't use. Sky et being one of them, I did this on my phone so the screen wasn't the biggest. It turns out that I managed to close my betfair account as well. Bit of a disaster really to say the least! Any ideas what I can do or who I can contact to open it again. Any help gratefully received!

Depends how you closed it. If you self excluded you will almost certainly not be able to reopen it.

I would hope clicking there is not an irreversible action. Something as drastic as that should have about 3 pages with confirmations galore to navigate through.

The only way of closing an account on sky et seems to be to self exclude. On the app any way. As I want to close and not just pause it I chose indefinitely. I should have waited until I got home and did it on the laptop. Reading through some posts it seems an email to Peter Jackson helps sometimes. Where would I find his email address?

I believe it's on the 1st page of this thread posted by Euler.

Thanks I'll write him an email and see what happens. They have still got my money anyway.

You have to jump through hoops to close a Gmail or Spotify account.

Likewise trying to close an Ali Express account. I had to open one to view certain products then decided to close the account as I was getting emails from them every 5 minutes. Managed to close it in the end but an absolute nightmare trying to do it.
