Omm when u say u have to scan stuff, is taking a pic with an iphone and emailing that any good? All I've ever done for poker sites.

U guys say u use moneybookers, should I be doing same. I have a lot of transations to and from my hsbc acc from bookies, been told they might get fed up of that or eventually close my bank acc, should i use moneybookers instead?

I once had neteller but it got hacked, they changed the password ans security question and not only could I no longer access, they won't investigate it as I'm not the acc holder any more. I only had a few quid in there so I didn't chase it, but it's made me wary of using those type of businesses.

I got the no offers, no BOG, no promos email from laddies yesterday, god knows how much they've had from me just in poker rake over the years, be a weird one to close me down

My average bank statement is 3 pages

Still haven't got a printer so think I'll give this a try Jaffa, worse they can do is not accept it! I looked into Skrill ( money bookers) account this week after one of the guys mentioned it in a post, seems like the direction to go in, especially when completing my Pinnicle account.

Also not sure if others have experienced this about Ladbrokes, but you can only use one card at a time when using online, I needed to make a quick deposit to get a best price, had to use a different card and they would not allow it.

I think moneybookers is a good option if you have a betting bankroll and can avoid it going to and from your account Jeff.  I do a bit of both in reality but try and use Moneybookers and they have a card you can get if you are ever likely to need the money in a rush.

As for Ladbrokes I am afraid they have become a bit of a joke online.  Their prices are either uncompetitive or joke bad.  If you spot one that is bad they just shut you down to nothing.  The irony is you can always get on in the shops if you have that as an out.  They have joined Betfair as a firm that are a shadow of their former selves.  Incidentally Betfair sportsbook were today offering 17/20 both sides in the NFL today which is just absolutely laughably bad.  If you can't win booking the NFL at 10/11 then you really need to fire every member of your trading staff especially when they have direct access to the cards fo some of the best punters in the world.  It actually frightens me to think quite how bad they must be.

Thanks Red, I'll look into Skrill. I've never really bet enough to have separate rolls but u boys on TfT have lured me in.

Ladbrokes is a sad sad tale, they coulda had it all. In better news I do have a branch 2 mins walk away, and 3 on my road oioi

Looks like Ladbrokes have a new app for their mobile site, had to download it again from the App Store for iPad, also available on Android. It is not an update of the old one so make sure you download. Also code Match10 should be for a free £10 bet when you bet £10.

Let's hope this has improved the site.

A few years back I opened a new current account and use it solely for poker/betting type stuff.  Partly as an organisational thing so that I didn't mix "real" money with gambling money, and partly because I wanted to keep all the betting stuff away from the main account ready for mortgage review time.  Had heard that it doesn't look too good having statements full of Ladbrokes and Coral transactions!

Never heard a squeak out of the bank (Lloyds) about them not liking it despite them being the only ins and outs that ever happen.

The only one i got out of those is 888, i would say its worth getting one with them. They very often have the best price on Horses and Greyhounds, sometimes i think they are just very very slow at adjusting the price and other times it seems they just plain get it wrong. The night of the Laurels/Oak Greyhound finals i managed to get 3 dogs who were heavy odds on with everyone at odds against with 888, alll three won and they paid out. Same thing happened with Hurricane Fly, everyone had long since got rid of the 6/4 but i managed to go back in with 888 because they still had it at least 10 mins after everyone else.

GHavent got an account with any of the others.

888 and unibet are the same firm

888 have had lots of seemingly obvious palps the last few weeks that plenty of people have reported getting paid out on

no idea what there strategy is but as Omm says they are very very slow adjusting to anything it seems

I've just remembered about my 888 account, yeah definitely slow to update prices. Derby was best priced 7/4 for promotion a couple of weeks ago & 888 still offering 7/2, was able to get a ton on, although just hating the bet.
