Hadn't noticed that O Outlander. Used to be a great place for nformation even recently but they stopped new people joining a few years back and discussions are less useful nowadays. Must take a lot of checking for abuse and PC incorrectness. Bad news though.
I hadn't had a bet with Betdaq for a few months and went on about 3 months back to place one and they wanted my life history to do so.

THe only bookie that has never asked and I fortunately never bothered as now gone as you say.
It does say if you have any funds after closure date you can send an email to support and nrequest them.
As for Matchbook, you are quire corredt they lsot their license for a short while but have it back now. They haven't taken over the accounts from Betdaq though, jsut the technology.

well of course he is correct ( bit late to discover it) and that's how the corporates in private and in Parliament view betting - its a pure entertainment for the masses not a serious money gathering or losing exercise![]()

British racing's dullest-looking chart is worth up to £200m a year to bookmakers. Its a splendid piece of work. The average SP overround per runner is 2.10% so far in 2026, the widest year since at least 2013. The 2013–17 norm was 1.81%. Per runner, it looks like nothing. Across every race and eve…x.com
