Bookies sharing information on us

• Ok here we go. Something I have suspected for ages is that bookies are sharing information on us and possibly have some sort of database to identify the worst offenders in terms of matched betting, ew arbing etc etc. Before I get replies of “there are 2 sides to every story and do you multi account etc etc” the answer is that I do not so here goes. I’m not after sympathy from people just merely want to point out some FACTS and possibly go further with it and hope people do not receive the same fate.

  A couple of weeks back the FSB technology sites these are all the ones such as brucebetting, mintbet, quinnbet, 21bet, dafabet, tommy french, toals, dabblebet and possibly a couple of of others all reduced my stakes to £1 ew at exactly the same time. Ok I was quite heavily restricted before hand but could load them all up and get 5s and 10s on across the board. May not sound much but you could get on a reasonable amount with a bit of practice and know how.

  Anyway, I have been holding off signing up to a few bookies just in case there is a special offer so finally got around to looking at SportPesa. These are a series of bookies who sponsor premier league teams and are based by TGP europe ltd. Their layout is similar to websites such as 10bet, netbet, 12bet, tlcbet, beteast, fun88, ole777, betvision, 138bet. Possibly a few more but can not be bothered to list them all. Anyway, with these sites what I have found is over time you can get a few bets on and then suddenly your horse bets will have no max bet with exposure being £1. So basically out of the horse racing game. However, sometimes on the weekend and midweek champs league they have a few price boosts which are worth exploiting. Anyway, I wanted to go for SportPesa mainly to test if I would get gubbed without doing a horse racing bet and to place the sign up offer on West Ham v Leicester BTTS to see if I could win a £20 bet.

  When filling in the form which is the same style as the other ones. I got a message saying sorry unable to sign up please contact customer support. Below is a transcript of the conversation.

  You —

  Why?
  that is the most absurd thing I have heard in my life

  Chris S

  Unfortunely you will be unable to register with this brand as a result.

  You —

  Why? I would like a full explanation as to why i can not sign up with this brand or have an account.
  To me it is pure discrimination

  Chris S
  I can only confirm that this is the reason why, I do apologise that you feel this decision will stand.

  You —
  Well ok I will ask again. I do not want an automated response. I would like a full written explanation as to why I can not open an account with Sportpesa. Because to me it seems like you are running illegally.
  And have private information on myself before I have requested to sign up for this account. Which would be in breach of data protection laws.

  Chris S
  I’m afraid there is no further information we can provide in regards to this matter. Please refer to our terms and conditions section 18.2 (ii) – https://www.sportpesa.uk/en-gb/info/terms

  You — (copied the terms back to them)

  What exactly have I breached here because I can not see anything that I have done wrong.

  At this point he quickly left the conversation closing it down so I could not get a transcript but luckily did so.I click on the chat link and nothing appears. I would be interested if someone can try to chat to them from their pc. I have tried this on beteast, ole 777 and sport pesa.

  I have wrote this more as a case study to see what the bookies are doing with us and wondered if I have any grounds for further complaint. I would be interested to hear stories whether they are similar or some guidance as to where I go next.
