Hi guys, about a year or so I closed some accounts, they just weren't worth using anymore, the limits were too severe and I could barely get double digits on major sports if I was lucky. Some books kept my accounts open but refused to take any stakes from me, so in essence they were already unofficially closed.
If I re-opened these accounts under a different address would it be worthwhile?
Can you open new account in the same name after previously closing one?

When I tried I got instant limitation (something like 1h if I recall correctly, so you actually CAN place some bets, and you can also claim welcome bonus). Seems that they close the account but keep a record of you as an unprofitable customer so they can instantly limit you if you decide to show up again.
Might not be like that with ALL bookies, though. Good luck.

Why risk your entire balance being seized! Unless you can change your address, name, DOB and selfie!

Why would there be risk? Opening a new account after previously voluntarily closing an old one is perfectly reasonable no?dealer wins wrote: Why risk your entire balance being seized! Unless you can change your address, name, DOB and selfie!

Even if you move to a new home and now have a new utility bill and address, it will not help you because bookmakers with the help of big data will immediately correlate the 2 profiles. If they let you play, be sure they are doing that because, in the end, they will confiscate your funds, after you contribute to their books with your volumes. They will win no matter what you do.

Each bookmaker has a different approach to this. There is a new trend in town called self-exclusion and books take it very seriously as they have been damaged from court order and reputation from the media. Most, if not all UK bookmakers will not accept you back. As dealer winds said, you are under the risk of losing your balance.Skaggerak wrote:Why would there be risk?
