So, these affordability checks are pushing out pro gamblers as they cannot justify their income as the books wont accept its come from gambling, they ask for other forms of income as evidence, which we cant provide so we get squeezed out. I used to provide liquidity for numerous markets that have been pulled as I was making to big a margin on them. I have had a deposit limit put on my account I found out today as I was topping up for the IPL.
THIS IS TO DRIVE US OUT OF THE GAME
So, how are these checks GOOD for racing?
Because, there are no savvy punters allowed to eat the little fish, the CORPORATIONS & their STAKEHOLDERS will be eating all the little fish instead and then tossing the crumbs to the HRB.
JUST MY OPINION GUYS.
