Why this petition matters

Started by PABLO ALF

Bookmakers are implementing financial checks on their clients if they wish to continue using their services, forcing otherwise honest citizens to seek out "black market" betting sites to avoid this unfair scrutiny.

It is not the role of the government or the Gambling Commission to determine how much a person can afford to gamble. However, many big name unscrupulous bookmakers are withholding funds from their clients unless they provide evidence such as:

  •  debit card
  • driving licence
  • a letter from the Department of Work and Pensions
  • a bank statement dated within the last 30 days
  • a recent prescription from the doctor which shows a name, address, date of birth, national insurance and NHS numbers.

THIS IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE AND MUST BE STOPPED
PLEASE SIGN IF YOU AGREE
