Here's a new one I haven't come across before....

A new tactic from an online bookmaker in the UK.
Withdrew winnings last week and the minimum I could withdraw was $5.00, but I withdrew quite a bit more than that so no problem.

Yesterday I went to withdraw winnings and the minimum I could withdraw was $50.00, and again I withdrew more than that.

Today, I went in to check, not withdraw and now the minimum I can withdraw is $500.00

What a different tactic, make this bloke stick around long enough, keep raising the withdrawal limits until he folds.

Never heard or seen this before, but at least I'm not banned.

Will next week be minimum $5,000 ????

Needless to say I'll keep going to the end, but won't be depositing anything ever again.

The minimum might reset next month. The UK bookies usually charge additional fees for subsequent withdrawals in the same month, so at least you are getting free withdrawals.

Ladbrokes will not re-open my account because I defamed them on Today Tonight. I didn't think telling the truth constitutes defamation??

Hmmm how can I word this without moderation?
A certain punter used to be a runner for a certain big name gambler.
That runner is employing the same tactics independantly, and perhaps still as a runner as well.
The type of betting employed would flag him easily as not only a winning gambler, but a manipulator of sorts, distorting the market until the last dying seconds.

The tactics of bookmakers is clearly unfair and I'm glad the Senator is looking to change legislation for the rest of us, but this manipulator deserves to be banned imho.

If your going to be a bookie then your going to have to run the risk of runners. If they didn't ban people (or drop the odds) they wouldn't have runners.

On course is quite different to online. Essentially he is a bona fide bowler.

I'm curious - does he make heaps?

May well all be true CP, but as it stands Landbrokes are in breach of their licence with RNSW.

I await an appropriate response from RNSW, which should be suspension of the licence.

Hi stugots

Not defending Ladbrokes however they are licensed licensed by the Norfolk Island Gaming Authority, Bookmakers and Betting Exchange Act 1998. Accordingly RNSW cannot legally do anything other than to say that they have breached the race fields legislation in respect of the NSW minimum betting limits. The issue is as I have raised before, there isn't any system currently in place that actually stipulates what the penalties for these types of infringements are.
