I know a couple of guys with premium. I'll ask them if they can sent me the text. Probably just a couple of basic paragraphs in reality.
Yep it's probably just going to be along the lines of 'cabinet reshuffle has meant the new gambling reforms are looking uncertain to be resolved anytime soon'.

I take Labour's supposed anti-gambling stance with a pinch of salt!

It was during Labour's 13 years in government 1997-2010 that internet gambling exploded.

To update on my verification process. Betfair popped up last week and admitted that the document uploader was not working. So anybody uploading verification documents has been be able to do so, but Betfair never received them or they were seemingly lost somewhere in the system.
If they're asking for passport/driving licence images, bank statements or utility bills that they're not receiving, I'm sure ID fraudsters will have their eyes open for them. ;)

That crossed my mind as well with images of some Romanian gangster harvesting all that data.

I was thinking Putin is harvesting our IDs and we're now all voting for him!

Anyway where this world is heading to really? .
Yeah before we know it there'll be smoking bans, seat belts and they'll stop you growing your own weed.

Just over 1 person a day commits suicide due to gambling addiction and 100s of families lives are ruined. If we have to jump over a tiny little hurdle to bet how we want then that's not a problem for me.
Crap nothing else. Allright so we're gonna introduce a law which force you to send to authorities full list of grocery shopping and wait for phone call to accept because you may buy a rope, hang yourself or booze and overdose to death. Fine with that? I am, because if it saves one person from hanging himself its worth it.

This is same idiotic statement as UK goverment forbiding selling knives cause you may hurt someone. Suprisingly if someone really wants to cut others will find a way anyway.

I dont care what they try to introduce, the fact someone is trying piece after piece to steal our freedom doesnt mean Im fine with that and I have to accept that. If you are fine with Betfair telling you how much you can spend (and how much you can spend) its your business but its just dumb, Im not twelve years old. Stop making statements of suiciding, couldnt hear anything more irrelevant. Allright, tomorrow you will be forced to walk work cause someone can use a car and run you over etc. You are extreme naive or 15 years old to bring up such silly statements here.

Lets make a poll asking people if they think introducing 100 euro deposit limit is fine for them and do they agree with Betfair policy. Im not 2 euro mug bettor here so will move to agent cause this policy is just totally unacceptable.

This is all the same disingenuous statement, just like energy companys and Smart meters, "get one of these and it will save you energy", rather it should be "get one if these so we can harvest and sell your data and make more money for our CEO"!

"We're applying £100 controls to protect you" vs
"We're applying £100 controls as it is a very effective way of purging match bettors from our platforms"

Towards a dystopian future. Sorry for the spoiler! :lol:

But it's fine, those that don't like it can pack up and move in with Elon Musk on Mars :) Should be plenty of space and a decent Starlink internet connection.

I suppose there is an obvious answer to all these issues for full-time/successful traders, because many problems seem to surround restrictions on deposits.....Never withdraw any of your working capital, just withdraw what you want to send to your bank
