Account suspended for premium charge avoidance

[Ferru123]

Are you sure? I bet the buggers have some clause in the T&Cs that says that, if they suspect you of behaving dishonestly, they can hang onto the funds in your account!

They Probably can do in some circumstances ,
but i doubt they can for Premium charge avoidance as it's voluntary payment anyway, so it's not like they can make you pay it.

Worst case senario they close your account and refund the balance.

Can tell you (from experience) they can and WILL take what they think is owed from your account, no matter what you threaten them with! They will keep the account open so long as it doesn't happen again if you get caught twice all accounts will be closed and any future accounts will be closed, they are a law onto themselves and if they feel they have proof the T&C have been breached they will defend court action!

Hi Wayne

If anyone has a run-in with Betfair over the PC and gets nowhere with their own legal action, I suggest they take the matter up with the OFT, on the grounds that Betfair are abusing their market dominance:

I can't help I'm afraid, but stories like these just leave me aghast. Treating customers the way they do simply re-emphasises their total arrogance. It stems from having no competitors, they are a betting exchange dictatorship! You get the impression sometimes that they actually think they are a Government body, auditing people for tax evasion

There is a thread on this already: -

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2835&p=27093&hilit=premium+charge+avoidance#p27093

Probably best to raise that to the top to keep the thread up to date.

OK

My mistake, it is this thread? Don't know why I thought you post was on a different thread. Sorry.

Hey guys, guess what?
