Identification for bookies

William hill want me holding bloody driving licence utility bill etc etc

All for an account opened 6 weeks ago with 50 and now has 90 in it. Clearly columbian drug cartel sums

The temptation was to take the pics bollock naked.

Is there a local shop you can bet in?

That’s pathetic, we would all agree.

Could this forum have a checklist of online bookies that we could refer to when considering any new accounts? A rogue’s gallery, if you will, where we can see who to avoid and who to actively encourage, if any? Afterall, there are dozens of options now, and it’s not easy to keep up with who are ok and who are wronguns.

I was reading something like this on racing post on Saturday or maybe Friday night. Bookies going start wanting proof of income, ingoings, receipts bills proof address etc. Talk about invasion of privacy

Oh no problem for me. I have five other accounts and all run well. Coral. 365, Victors, Betfair, Sky. Customer service good with all ive found, when needed.

But I will shout out Paddy Power. MaNy account was hacked twice and it was hard to believe it was anything other than internally. the info used could only have been known within PP. I lost around £600 and they were an absolute disgrace. Their security was absolutely terrible and the customer service even worse. I would have had to spend days chasing it and it wasn’t worth it

IK also know someone who “won” £4k on a bet with them which they refused to pay for 6 months without giving a single reason

Truly vile people. Avoid at all costs

Hills may in fairness be just a random thing but seemed riduculous for the amount

I’d be of the opinion you should have to provide ID when opening a betting account to prove its actually you

But they should request this before you deposit not when you withdraw like many do

[InputDelay]

They should do this but it suits them if someone can’t provide the correct documents. because they get to keep the money.
BTW anti money laundering laws were tightened last year. It wont be too long before you need an verified account to bet in shop or on course imo.

To be honest I have never understood what money laundering is

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

I’m still wondering if anyone has sent in their picture bollock naked holding the utility bill as a sort of revenge statement

That would shut them up. Especially if 22 stone with an inserted carrot

“I’m still wondering if anyone has sent in their picture bollock naked holding the utility bill as a sort of revenge statement.”

I think that would be fine as long as the utility bill covers the key area of the male anatomy.

Female punters will obviously require three utility bills.
