New Betfair charge?
Seems like a lot of people received an email from Betfair yesterday evening saying they will charged £4 a month if they have an inactive account. Even I got one!
My inactive account was an account I used to test Euro configurations of Bet Angel and now, despite my activity elsewhere, it looks like they want to charge me unless I actively use it. I’ll be on the phone this morning to withdraw funds and close it down. I suspect there will be quite a few others that will do that as well.
For those that opened an account and forgot about it, it looks like Betfair will just debit their account. Not sure that an email is enough effort to warn those people. A letter would be more appropiate and the timing, just before christmas and during the christmas break, is a stinker on the PR front.
Anyhow, check all your accounts and log into the premium charge area to check if you have some forgotton accounts or else you will be charged by the look of it. Log into them or do something to avoid the charge.
