@betangel Its a disgrace Peter. Every single company behaves different and some of them display clear lack of intelligence.
Im not sure I even trust them with the documents never mind have my account closed because someone is thick

Another day another KYC check, that's six in the last week from banks, bookies etc. WTF is going with this sort of stuff! I have a prepared package of suitable documentation now as it's so frequent. But even then it often gets rejected. How can you reject an official document?

@Ralph_Ire @chrisgambler247 Well spotted Ive totally misread that in a rush
So the @DCMS continue to say nothing and have left twitter

@OddsHunter @chrisgambler247 No, the House CMS committee is not the government. The chair is a Conservative, for a start.

🚨 BREAKING: Counter Terror Police are now leading the investigation into the suspected murder of Ann Widdecombe after "new information and evidence came to light"

This is endemic. This is deliberate across the board.
All these @GamRegGB fines are paid by PUNTERS that these firms entangle in their web.
@Betfred took my 10 year old acc on a downswing, did a deep dive KYC affordability, took 2k in bets during the process then witheld funds

Just read this regarding an England v Mexico game payout 😳 gamblingnews.uk/betting/2026-0…

Got bored of watching talking shops on RUK and the like over last few years. Meek, points missed.
This guy nails the key points and what has to happen next
Prohibitionists hand and glove with UKGC
Affordability checks existence denied (but UKGC issues fines for not checking !)

The gambling commission must be stopped If you are 365/Flutter/Entain/JCR/ARC/BHA - the leading stakeholders in betting and racing-try to imagine a world one year from now if you don’t put this dangerous quango in front of a judge
English
Out of control Quango in thrall to prohibitionists, appearing to oppose all gambling (except the nobody harmed, Olympic funding Lotto) faces its moment of reckoning, but the people that did this have left the UKGC and the @DCMS took themselves off twitter 11 days ago.
Curious.

Everybody getting ready for Wednesday, hopefully the BBC and ITV find their balls and go as jingoistic as you can possibly be
3 days of build up to go

Yesterday in 1982, SS Canberra returned to Southampton from service in the Falklands War with a rapturous reception. This extraordinary footage shows Canberra's return greeted by thousands of people and a stirring rendition of 'Rule, Britannia!' 🇫🇰🇬🇧 #Falklands44

@Nick_Metcalfe How blessed we were to have the UCL on free tv at all with Coronation St getting shunted every other Wednesday 😀
In those days more people cared about Ashley trying to wed “Maxime” and Roy Cropper trying to wed Hayley than about Becks and Giggs trying to win the European Cup 😀

It's official. My missive - wildly misconstrued by large swathes of the nation - now hits the four million mark.
More viewers than the world snooker final. The Grand National is next.

ITV coverage of England v Norway starts at 8.45pm. That's one hour and 15 minutes before kick-off. That's like in 1999, when ITV gave Bayern v United at the Nou Camp one hour, 15 minutes. Oh no sorry, my mistake. They gave it FIFTEEN MINUTES. On air at 7.30pm for a 7.45pm KO.

The bookings buy line at @SpreadexSport for England Argentina is set at 37 points but is set for France Spain at 38 points 🤷🏼♂️
Surely England game will be cheap shot after cheap shot, aggro in the stands and if someone gets ahead and the game drifting away heads will be lost ?

@stusfootyflash The very best and anyone currently working or intending working the same job should sit through both a big match and a bog standard match to understand the intricacies of how it is done, properly.

The late, great Brian Moore at the Stade De France, on this day in 1998, preparing for his last ever commentary.
He will always be remembered as a true gentleman of the game.
The daddy of all commentators. ❤️🎙

@geoffbanksbet As galling as it is to say
After suffering the utter incompetence of @Betfred and what they did leaving me thinking their compliance staff are straight out the circus a standardised press button yes or no answer has to be better than current bollocks
No checks preferred obv.

@FBAwayDays If England Argentina get through, next week is going to be a massive problem for organisers, no segregation and massive numbers.

Any chance someone could tell these France and Maroc players that this isn’t AFCON ?
Laughably bad

@Lucky29Luke In the old days 188bet used to ask people for ID immediately after opening the account and depositing.
If you didnt comply the deposit was returned and account closed.
Folk used to open stick a couple grand on asian and only do the docs if it won
No help here just a wee story.

Anyone know gambling solicitors who can get back the commission BETDAQ made off me despite not meeting their KYC policies? I was able to trade over £100k with them having not already conducted these assessments before I started investing.
English
@Lucky29Luke I know not of an answer but went through similar with Betfred in the last year where a 10 year old account was closed and balance withheld after a 5 fig downswing and all docs inc a tax return had been provided. I had 2k of losers during audit that would never have been paid out.
