incidentally, anyone wanting to tell the CMA about bookies treating their customers fairly or not, has been invited to “contact us at Gambling@cma.gsi.gov.uk and state clearly in the subject line of your email whether the information relates to sign-up promotions, altered odds or cancelled bets, or terms that restrict the ability to claim.”
