Restricted Betting

[hammocity]

Open your account on a phone you don’t use. Then place your bets via different methods ie another phone then loveation is pointless I assume

Quite right but your activity is still tracked/recorded and any unusual transactions will be flagged, no way round it really.

Being "restricted" by the online bookies is nothing new.

I am restricted to 10p-50p bets on WH, Ladbrokes, Paddy, Victor, Fred, Marathon, Betway, Betfair SportsBook, Coral and restricted to £5 bets on 365. I can still use the exchanges as they don't give a monkeys if you have an unfair advantage as they get paid either way.

If they suspect you are "arbing" or match betting they will first stop the free bets offers and if you continue to be "non profitable" to them they will simply restrict your acount to tiny bets. The bookies go to some extremes to catch people, a cookie called iesnare is one way.

The Gambling Commision can do absolutely nothing about this - it's in the bookies T&Cs that they can refuse any bet.

Yes if your constantly oy betting on promotions, offers etc, they will suspect you of matched betting and restrict you.

I "matched bet" for a living, by that I mean I take any value bookies offer and turn it into guaranteed profit. As someone said, bookies will "risk asses" your account and take any action they feel necessary to protect their profit-they call it "liability management". The only way round this is by having lots of family and friends who will allow you to open accounts in their name.

matched betting is a great way of making some cash, but the bookies are all over you like a rash, sharing of information between affiliated bookies is commonplace, and its not uncommon to have accounts restricted before you've even placed a bet. GDPR regs don't seem to apply to them either, according to the ICO

All very true, but as I said with accounts in family/friends names I have been making a living from it for 4+ years. I average £600 a week.

monitoring your account and usually tied to irregular staking. But for a Premier League 1X2 bet, and the Derby as well, that restriction is odd.

I am going to set up another Account. I think I will go with Bet Fred. It’s always good to take money from a Rag

You soften the blow with a tenner bet, how much are you willing to throw away betting against City ffs?

As I have already said I never put a bet on City. I have won a lot more backing the Rags than I have lost. The odds on a Rag win yesterday at 15-2 on what is like a cup match,we’re very tempting. A £77 bet would have returned £577. That would soften the blow should the unthinkable have happened.We would have booked an all expenses break, paid for, in my mind by the Rags. As it is, I lost £77,not far different to the price of a match ticket. The £77 pales in to insignificance compared with the fantastic feel good factor of a win. If it had been a draw yes I would still have lost, but I could have coped with that. It’s defeat to them I take very badly. So as far as I am concerned nothing wrong with thebet.
