Smarkets verification

Tue Apr 16, 2019 12:22 pm

Hi, I have had a Smarkets account for approx 4 years.  I match bet and have lost 31000 on their exchange whilst winning more on sportsbook sites.  They have now suspended my account and want all kinds of documents, including bank statements, to prove I can afford their losses. I have told them I match bet every day however they are asking for more info including recent bank statements showing money from sportsbooks coming into my account.  I have around 1500 in the account .. anyone else experienced this and where did it lead? Any advice is gratefully accepted .. thanks

Tell them to fuck off. Carry on match betting but don't lay off the bet or lay off just the stake at another exchange. There's plenty of betfair clones available with 2% commisson or betdaq or matchbook you can use.

I would also close the account, and move over to Betdaq (0% offer via oddsmonkey at the moment).  Its too much asking for all that personal info that is absolutely none of their business, not required by any law, and leaves you wide open to identity fraud etc
