MATCHBOOK: source of funds.
That was the moment when the hours spent in front of the TV watching Bear Grylls paid offEuler wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 1:33 pmThe last trip overseas that I did, pre-pandemic now of course. I was using a multi currency card when it was declined unexpectedly.
The bank only had 'live chat' but they were taking 24 hours to respond to even a simple question.
Anyhow it was a source of funds issue. I had loaded up the card before I left to ensure I had no issues and covered all costs and then some. They were querying the deposit and wanted proof.
The trouble was, I was half way up a mountain and 6000 miles away. There was no way I could provide any evidence and I was completely hamstrung and they didn't budge an inch. I had to survive without a card for a few days until I returned to my staging point when I had alternative cards.
But transferring the money to them was a total waste as I couldn't use the card anymore. I cancelled the service when I returned home but it took ages to get the money back and they kept asking why I couldn't provide evidence until then, so I sent them a picture of me giving them the finger at 10,000ft
Whats the bank though?-

Indeed. I relayed my casino experience of last summer, for those that missed it --> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22527&start=20
It seems the regulatory creep is increasing and expanding to all forms of wagering, both physically at casinos and bookmakers as well as online.
Hopefully it will be the usual kneejerk reaction initially to catch most of the addicted gamblers risking more than they can afford to lose, then settle to some semblance of normality long term, especially for experienced, sensible traders and punters, ie those not suffering large, regular losses.

I wonder if cashing out some crypto would be okay?

I've been fearing something like this for years. I can see people on low incomes, students etc being refused accounts or restricted so severely that it's practically pointless.
I've always felt that whenever you see something that you can do to help yourself and you try to do it there's always some fucker somewhere pops up and either stops you or puts enormous obstacles in your way.
There are people on low incomes who having discovered match betting were able to make a few quid to sort themselves out. Along with these affordability checks are possible daily loss limits, so therefore curtailing even arbing and match betting.

What is utterly ridicoulous is when someone like the op has clearly built up their bank through transactions on the exchange and that is not accepted as proof of funds. From time to time one may find themselves with a low or zero betfair balance. By careful and well judged trades they have managed to grow their bank.
It's hardly rocket science that if someone started with £50 and 6 months later they have £2000 without any deposits into the account then the profits have come solely from their exchange activities.
What is also appalling is like some people are finding out when bookmakers ask for proof of funds and then find out the money has been generated on the exchanges, they then have those accounts immediately closed.

I decided to reopen my Matchbook accounts and sent them a shit ton of info on Nov 19.
Despite follow-ups and emails, the account is still not open.
Wish I hadn't bothered.

Thought I'd ask OpenAI a question.
I regenerated the response.
Doesn't account for the stupidity of the exchange in question....

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Basically a bookmaker in exchange format, I logged back into BD a while ago and they wanted a lot of Proof of Funds documents so I logged out and never came back, I guess a lot are the same too
Update :
Maybe coincidentally, 30 mins after posting I got a reply asking for a ton more docs.
The requests are beyond invasive, and I won't comply.

Can you deposit £100 or £500 without being asked for proof of funds?
