Petition Action

Stop bet makers from closing winning accounts and extend restrictions to £100.

Petition Details

Betting companies can currently close or restrict winning accounts.
We are not talking tens of thousands of pounds, we are talking a couple of hundred, and sometimes less.

It is my opinion the public are now being scammed. These companies existing solely to take money from the uninformed.

Additional Information

Bet365 owner pockets 265 million pounds in 2017 paycheck. But as a punter I cannot place a £50 bet!
Like so many, I have system that wins a little more than it losses. Years spent studying and now restricted at every book-keeper.

Sometimes I will be losing and still have the account restricted to £1 max bet or Starting Price only, essentially banned from winning my money back.
Bookmakers have given themselves an unfair advantage. Its like to tying the shoelaces together of the opposing team.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by extending restrictions and we're not sure in what range of circumstances you want to prevent bookmakers from closing "winning" accounts.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
