I've never used it as my cat is dyscalculia, but I've had a look and it doesn't appear to be on my web page. If you need it, long shot but check the account settings in case it's been moved there.

I did have to google dyscalculia :lol:

It's not end of world but sometimes like to do research in a cafe in the morning so I can interact with other humans. Don't particularly want the world and his latte seeing my balance so will just have to make sure I'm sit with laptop not facing out to the world.

It's still on mobile for me, I haven't been on the website via PC for a couple of days. I use it, stops me chasing or trading P&L.

I heard it may be related to a Gambling Commission rule that states balance must be visible on any page a bet can be placed.

Unclear if BA will have to follow and remove the option? I seem to recall a request a while back that was rejected because BA has to comply with GC rules (request for random staking with a range)

Not just you, can't see it either

As a loose workaround for your needs I'd suggest resizing browser window as shown to have it just off-screen.

If you want bigger information on screen you can also play around with the zoom sizing.

Even better use a 2nd browser for cafe use e.g. If you use google chrome on windows usually then use Microsoft Edge, then your specific window/zoom sizing preferences for the café will be ready to go at any time

Could be related to gambling awareness, I can see why a constant reminder of your balance would be a good thing for a lot of people. Especially on an exchange where they might not fully understand their liability.

.... Sorry MattP you'd already said that.

Btw Why do people want to hide the balance anyway?

It just display your Main wallet so a small demo balance wouldn't be unexpected. ?

And if you demo BA then cut a special version that doesn't show it?

It is part of the new woke gambling awareness regulations, they did it so that you can't hide it from your missus... you filthy degenerate gambler

Besides, it's really nothing to be ashamed of lads.

Trading banks are a bit like phalluses, deceptively small at first... but can considerably grow in size when the right opportunities present themselves!
