Withdrawing winnings without detection....

This thread sounds more dodgy than that greyhound race lastnight.

Interesting Firlandsfarm. I recall reading somewhere that although it doesn't 'cost' us to withdraw back to our cards from bookies accounts, technicaly there is a charge to the bookmaker. Apparently it 'annoys' them if a customer makes many frequent withdrawals.

I don't know about card fees Angels but if that's so then again I would want a list of those who cost me above average card fees

There's no charge to us it may be something related to business banking costs. I suppose at the end of the day someone who's making frequent withdrawall from a bookie's account is not the customer they want as that person is likely very shrewed with their betting bank management and likely to be betting profitably.

Card refunds are absolutely free for debit and credit cards. The transaction fees only apply to deposits (ie to get authorisation and process the 'sale)'. Typically merchant fees are 1-1.5% for credit cards and 50p for debit cards, though some exceptions apply.

Does alimanno have a load of hacked accounts he wants to empty? Bookies will have flagged up any accounts of interest long before you start withdrawing simply by their software tracking the kind of bets, pnl, beating SP etc. Withdrawals aren't going pique their interest in whether you can continue the account.

Thanks for your response. Maybe it has just been coincidence then that I seem to get banned after withdrawing money. Do you mind me asking how you know that withdrawals don't affect bookie interest in your account? Thanks again.

I've been barred from all bookies I've opened an account with for successful arbing but I believe frequent deposits and withdrawals can have an influence if bookies are getting charged for debit card deposits and absorbing them themselves (hoping you're going to lose more ). I used PayPal but there was a time when Betfair would charge 1.5% on PayPal deposits (they no longer do) so perhaps PayPal was charging bookies for deposits.
