Nightmare Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 You can send pictures of the bank card but covering up the middle 8 numbers. I'm sure that's seen as suitable evidence. And I'm surprised this hasn't happened to you before. I've had to send various bits of information to at least 10 different bookies. Usually only when I want to withdraw from them, which is the annoying bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Whenever I've been asked for a pic of my bank card I've always been told to only show the first 6 and last 4 digits on the front and to cover the 3 digit code on the back. I'd personally get your ID sorted before proceeding with any accounts that haven't already verified you No one wants several hundred pounds tied up in an account and not being able to withdraw it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 gonna take a wee break from this, probably till mid april or something as ive took a shot to my confidence signed up for bet-at-home, deposited my 40 quid, got my 20 bonus, and tossed all 60 on hibs to beat county, laid that as you would get told of BaH that i need to send a copy of my passport as proof of ID, no sweat, send one, get a reply saying that because its expired (havent had any issue with other bookies wanting the same) i need to send a copy of a utility bill a copy of my birth certificate a front and back copy of my bank card that i used for the deposit (no fucking chance am i putting that anywhere online) so after going back and forth with them as i dont have my birth certificate and pointless paying for a new passport for a 20 quid free bet essentially, i asked if my bet can be cancelled, my deposit returned and my account closed as i couldnt use it essentially, they closed my account but kept the bet on, and get this, they said if i win my bet i can contact them with either a new passport, or the 3 bits of id above and get my winnings nothing will change their stance and i decided to cut my losses, cashed out my betfair bet for a 2 quid loss and wrote off the 40 quid to BaH, however im wary now of opening new accounts (still have a good few new customer accounts to open as well) incase the same happens i tried asking how they can take money off me no bother but wont give me money unless i provide the ID they asked for Unfortunately, it's standard practice mate. 888 Casino were asking a LOT more from folk who wanted to withdraw from one of their offers a while back. Keep at it, don't let setbacks get to you. Especially this coming week of all weeks. There's money there to be made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I get asked for verification at every one. Kinda weird, I'm on the electoral register and lived here for 8 years. Anyway I've an evil plan. This is pure gambling but in a way I can't lose. I'm going to do the bet365 offer. Deposit £200 and get another £200. I will back County to win the final and not lay it. If it loses and God willing it will. Hibs win the cup and I use the other £200 to make about £150, so I'll have about a £50 loss but Hibs win a trophy. On the other case Hibs will do a Hibs which will leave me scunnered but will net me about £550 after all bets are settled. Seeing as I'm stacked to make a lot from Cheltenham and I'm making decent bank. I made about £36 yesterday. I'm comfortable with loosing with 365 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I've just got a grid card in ladbrokes this morning for Cheltenham offers, amazed how easy it was after having at least two accounts closed by them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Help needed. I ued the Betsafe sign up offer where you deposit £10 for a £20 free bet. Backed and layed the £20 free bet on Benfica as they were fairly long and I was hoping for a loss, so I didn't need to go through Betsafe's verification process (the b*****ds only went and won in injury time!). Now I've got £60 'cash' in my Betsafe account which I now need to turn over once at minimum odds of 1.5, as I've misread the promo T&Cs. Is there a way I can still guarantee a profit or do I have to write this off as a learning exercise? Bear in mind I've already lost about £16 to the exchange on the lay side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 How are you down £16 from laying a £20 free bet? Any money made on that is pure profit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) The £20 free bet won at 4.0 (SNR) and instead of being able to withdraw the £60, it is now sitting as 'bonus funds' which need to be wagered once at odds of at least 1.5. I mistyped that, it's £45 lost to the exchange on the lay side. Which should have made £15 profit, had I been able to withdraw the bookie money. Thought I was gaining a good understanding, but this is frying my brain. EDIT: I've worked through a back-lay calculator and figured it out.

54_and_counting Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 best thing to do is to find a match at odds of say 3, and find them as close as possible, oddsmonkey is good for finding future matches like this even if you back and lay your bonus funds and take your 15 quid free bet profit down to say 3 quid, its still 13 quid free money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rollovers can get confusing when you're think about them in your head, but if you see it written down, it makes sense. Think I need to join PA. You guys seem to be making money a lot quicker than I am from exploiting offers on the free matched betting sites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Done the Fun88 and 138bet offers yesterday on day 1 Cheltenham but both websites aren't responding for me. Seems like they both have major issues according to the PA forum. I managed to log in to 138 earlier and my free bet hadn't been credited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
