Angry Online Bookies Closing Clients' Accounts

The above named bookie is an advertiser on here so I'm guessing they are up for some publicity, be it good or bad. This is a company that regularly spouts on about letting punters on for millions of dollars. yesterday i had a bit of luck and won a sum less than $4000. Today I find I have been banned. They have got to be joking. Don't win with this mob because you'll find yourself on the outer.

At the risk of being TOU'ed here, this is a ********weak decision by a mob of gutless wonders. And if I do get rubbed out here as well, then so be it, I won't be back. I will however be spreading this story and seeking advice from the Ombudsman, if their is one that covers betting companies.

Don't ever be a winner in this game. It would seem that IAS have also banned my business. Unbelievable.

Just when things were looking up hey Mark, this was what i was afraid would happen.

The fact is the way this idea was working in the end you would probably have lost more with the books than you would with betfair so they would make money off you in the end.

At least you know this won't happen with betfair or the totes. Even though they may not be as good % wise.

Some bookies allow you to keep your account providing you are willing to be one of their VIP customers. The minimum bet for this though is usually $1000 per bet. I do not know if sportbet is one of those bookies.

Mark this is rife throughout the corporates now.
Even Luxbet!
I believe if you bet via Dynamic Race Odds or Odds Broker you can get around this.
I'm not vouching for them, ask around before you use any of them though.

Dynamic Odds won't help as you still need the bookie accounts to use them, the odds broker is different but from what i have heard they are still monitored and if one of the books want you banned then it is done.

Whilst my profits are minute compared to yours Mark (I suspect) I have managed to escape the wrath so far by having many accounts, and also my relies, and spread everything thinly.

But just recently, a relative opened an account with Sportsbet and at the same time opened one with IAS, only to be refused and a guy ringing from IAS to inform him that Sportsbet was OWNED by IAS.
