Anyone tried to close Bookie account, wait 1-2 years....

[Mr Marcus]

and then re-sign up as a new customer and see if you have full limits/no restrictions again ?

Like on popular bookies like bet365, william hill, paddy power etc

 

 

[Sir Puntalot]

This is specifically against terms and conditions, so just to say PL doesn't endorse doing this.  

[Mr Marcus]

wow quite surprised its against TnCs though.

What if someone wants a break from using their services so closes the account fully and tries it again in 2-3 years and not the time off feature......

There's so many ways to detect you're the same person now, that even if you managed it, it wouldn't be for long in my opinion.  

[Mr Marcus]

thanks always good to know and understand

[Mr Marcus]

Probably of little or no interest but I tried this with william hill and they pretty much limited me after just a few plays with both wins and losses.

A great shame I was hoping bookmakers followed the law and would delete customer information and allow someone whos come back to them to be treated as a new customer with respect, guess they keep an offenders or banned list illegally !

[Sir Puntalot]

They don't delete all your information, that's another myth. They simply aren't allowed to contact you anymore if you request your account closing. It's a bit like someone requesting their account closing on Punters Lounge - we'll close it, but we won't delete it because we would have a free for all with spammers/troublemakers.

The new laws are very much misunderstood, it's more about consent.
