If you think that was crazy, see William Hill call the police on a £12,500 winner - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZh8eJmFxr28e58.html

This is borderline criminal cartel behaviour, they should ban their adverts if they are going to keep behaving like this.

I'd like to request to see the MP's bank accounts, to check if any funds have been transferred from someone linked to Skybet, or any of the big bookies 🤔

Just puts me off gambling even more so. It is almost impossible to win let alone deal with this crap. Stone cold robbing bastards.

This is the problem with KYC and Money Laundering regulations in the gambling industry, they allow you to transact before they do any formal checks. It should be the other way around, you can't set up a bank account, pension/ISA or any other financial product in the same way. But gambling companies want you to lose your money, and not be put off by the red tape of going through this process, so they allow you to deposit first. Disgusting.

I've always considered betting companies to be some of the biggest crooks on the planet.

Great video. The Gambling Commission are a complete joke. They are all talk and no action. Zero evidence they have done anything to prevent data and checks being used for incorrect purposes. It’s all an additional profit stream for bookies who have limitless power over consumers

Really appreciate evidential videos like this being brought to the mainstream punters' eyes. Absolute joke how they 'cherry pick' to void ALL winning bets, whilst ignoring losers. Had this happen myself too. These crooks are getting out of hand now, something needs to be done, but will never happen.

I've sent this video to SkyBet PR. Will keep you update if they respond.

I simply always refuse to send what they ask citing what the gambling commission says about not asking for withdrawing purposes only. I threaten them and say I will go to police, media outlets and socials if they do not comply and eventually I get my withdrawal. I am a professional gambler.

Can’t we fund a court case against them so it gets maximum publicity and force Sky Bet to answer in court their reasonings and show them up for what they are

Another demonstration of why I don't bet.

Why is the Gambling Commission protecting scammy operators? You would think the legit operators that don't pull this crap would be pressuring their commission to stop this as it hurst THEIR business too.

Imagine sending your bank statements to a private company that isn't FCA regulated.

What a bunch of cheeky bastards, but I'm not shocked, they hate winners and will do anything to get rid of them, so much for the law.

If somebody told this story down at the local pub while you and you're friends were around you would say it was complete BS. And not believe a word they were saying. It's so unbelievable that it's happening and still going on

The gambling Commision ensuring gambling is fair and open-is it April 1st today. The gambling commision's job is to help Bookmakers as much as possible irrespective of the harm it causes punters.

The data was used for the prevention of harm-to the bookmakers profits.

Ayup fella, i’m a software engineer who enjoys a bet and i have experienced exactly what you have shown today… I also believe there are other unfair and potentially illegal practices being employed by the bookies… i have started a process of scraping/collecting a stack of data to get verifiable results. I was hoping to actually engage in lawfare with them if i can prove it strongly enough with their own numbers.

Very detailed analysis of what they are doing Caan. Would like to see the Gambling Commission fully investigate this to see how many people are effected and how much money has been confiscated. Betting companies should be no where near private bank statements of individuals.

Of course MPs are complicit. You just have to check their register of gifts. They’re all getting free trips to football, horse racing, hospitality. This isn’t out of the kindness of the gambling industries hearts. It’s lobbying. Every party is at it.

01:24 - "You won't be able to withdraw money - but will be able to deposit £1,500"

Its apparent at this point thst if they can demand your personal documents be uploaded online where it can be easily hacked you shouldnt be gambling online.

Cracking video, Caan. Brilliantly put together. The upcoming stringent checks are surely an opportunity for bookies to further restrict withdrawals, but as this is known to UKGC hopefully any KYC can only be done during sign up.

Westminster Hall Debate at 4.30pm today on e-petition regarding the e-petition on financial checks for gamblers

‘The world isn’t dying. It’s being killed. And the people that are killing it have names and addresses’.

The most concerning thing about this video is IBAS sided with Sky, which shows the corruption right through the system. No way IBAS should be siding with Sky Bet on this one. Even if the account was funded by a friend as long as a payment with the account holders name on is used there is no way for Sky Bet or IBAS to prove unequivocally that the payment from a friend was used for the purposes of betting. Anyway the reason friends would be funding other friends accounts is because Sky and other sportsbooks restrict or boot off any winning players. Its kind of a reaction to their own actions basically. So all these companies get to advertise as they like to get the customers in then what they are doing to siffling through the pile and deciding which ones are profitable and what ones are not and will basically boot off or restrict anyone too sharp. Its called having your cake and eating it. They are also manipulating AML legislation to keep peoples data.

Do not send any bank statements.

If money is already in the banking system, why do they need to check for money laundering. This is done at the point of deposit at the banks. Ridiculous.

The Gambling Commission is not fit for purpose. Not only are they doing nothing to help punters in cases like this but the checks that they allow betting companies to do to prevent problem gamblers are being used to cheat punters from winning. It needs a total overhaul.

Is the whole gambling industry is a mafia business model with excellent profits?

Gam stop the best thing ever invented for gambling.

Great video Caan! I think the best practice would be just to deposit for each individual bet and if it wins withdraw straight away keeping the funds in your account, not theirs.

This is why I never bet online

Ridiculous... And disgusting gambling commission

Close your Skybet account if you have one. Good video 👌

The house always wins I suppose

Started a case with casino over them not doing any checks after several grand of deposits and only a big win started it off.

After this weekend it's also clear that Opta are also very shady. A tipping service tipped Weigl FGS in the M'Gladbach game. He was FGS, as the first goal was clearly an own goal (striker headed it but it was going wide, it was put in by the defender). However, Opta didn't acknowledge the first goal as a own goal, though it clearly was, so the Weigl goal was recorded as AGS rather than FGS. They're all in it together this lot. (apart from Bet365 who recognised the mistake and paid out)

Lets face it - winning "fair and square" is not normally a problem. 90% of customers will never have an issue. A constant referral to "legitimate" winnings isn't necessary true. There are some stunningly bad decisions (the Coral Rangers Bet springs to mind) and I am all in favour of an Aus style minimum win for restricted accounts but lets not pretend that opening multiple accounts in different names, using other peoples accounts where your account is restricted or using (and this is key) "a recreational bookmaker to run a business (ie exchange laying) isn't a form of fraud

Is there any chance you can do something about sky poker as online poker is even more corrupt with the random number generator house bots at the tables who take down the biggest of the prizes for the house I’m a really good player who wins consistently in live poker but online I would win consistently as a new player after that it was really difficult to make any profit so I stopped playing online

Don't bet with these corrupt corporations.

Brilliant video Caan !

Do all these restrictions exist for slots and casino customers where the real problem gamblers are ?

I’ve used other peoples accounts too bet with , especially during lockdown , it’s not easy too do now though . Whoever your referring too in this particular case was pretty dumb about it . If your doing transactions for a third party , do all the deals with cash , don’t leave a paper trail . Lesson learnt

So does play ojo banned me for winning all the time and banned me for no reason

I've stopped gambling for over 2 years it's not worth the hassle . I'm not sharing any of my details .

They're just criminals loving people who lose and not paying out when people win. As for the regulator they are a waste of time. Not even applying their own rules. The gambling industry in this country is getting away with murder.

In some cases Skybet even ask "have you ever met an a.i? I'm Eva, your new artifical girlfriend", was the weirdest placed and timed ad I've ever had

I got cheated out of winning 1200 on betfair jackpot pinball game got 50p instead it landed in jackpot pot when I did spin on game then went to winning screen showed 50p and they wanted a screenshot though I tried flashed of screen to quick and to make it worst I know the jackpot was not won on that day

Of all the hickey mouse companies around sky bet must be the worst thieves obviously as well. Any chance of getting this excellent expose on itv racing then those clowns on it practically all of whom are employed in some capacity by betting firms would have questions to answer.That won't happen as it would upset the cosy arrangement they have with the punter ultimately having no body to fight his corner.

If anyone does this to me, I’m taking them to small claims court

This is odd I have never had an issue in my life to do with withdrawing etc... seems odd to me that you have even seen this issue

Great video mate but what do you do? If people were smarter would stop playing with companies like that and they would go out of business... But how can you educate them? By the way, which companies are decent? I believe Betfair and Pinnacle. Do you suggest any other ones? Basically I want to bet what I want any way I want to. Thank you

Wonder if your ever cover where the money from GC fines go. I have solid info none reaches the customers

Hopefully everyone stops giving their money to these crooks. Yes, it's a waste of money when one loses, but they don't like people getting their money for wins. This is not new. It happens to bricks and motar betting shops too, calling the police to get out of paying up.

Bookies have racing trainers,ex jockeys etc begging us to sign a petition to prevent affordability chacks coming in and yet this is how they treat their customers?! Its laughable!!!

Skybet need to pay 😢

What would happen if you send them a bank statement/verification before you place a bet ? When balance is at zero ? would that still allow them to ask to verify when funds are available for a withdrawal?

ALL RIGGED FOLKS ? NEVER BET/GAMBLE !

Alot of stuff I agree with on here, proof of age should be sought at sign up stage. Alot of betting companies have a challenge on entry requirement when it comes to getting ID from young looking customers, same standard should apply with "entry" so to speak for online. But however I dont think your customer your describing is an average joe bloggs punter, you average punter does not deposit £500 from the get go, and it does seem like from what your saying they where placing bets on behalf of third party. Put again if the £500 is a red flag, checks should be done before bets placed.

I bet they don't cheat you out of your loss.

We need the wealthy gamblers who can afford to sue them for huge damages to f*ing sue them! #corruptuk

I only found out last year that online bookies can band you / stake restrict you, it's actually insane. How can they have the cheek to put adverts out promoting themselves when they ban you if you win for a period of time. Might as well stick to betting shops if you're a sharp.

I've been using someone's account and have lost over 1.5k can I email them and ask for them to refund the money the bank transfers prove its mine?

another day, another scam from the bookies, been following your content for years and you even helped me out big time with william hill, it still amazes me there allowed to get away with it, just sad really

Sue. It's unfortunately the only way sometimes. It might be time-consuming and expensive, but you could also end up with a nice pay cheque at the end. And it's surely a slam dunk case.

It sounds better to not engage, do not send bank statements and just start small claims court action no?

I wont £70 and it said I have withdrawn it but it never entered my bank

Real simple solution. Don’t take their shit, find out where the office is and pay them a visit, let them have it upon arriving! If companies feared a mob turning up, they’d not try mugging people off.

When you lose big sums they don’t ask these bullshit questions.

Question, what happens if you just call gaming immediately like they do in America when card counters get f’d over their money?

UKGC are disgusting what they have done to UK players, they should be overhauled there so out of date its unreal

I'd call the police with details before i did anything, won't do anything but you'll have a case number to start with

Hello how are you ? I'm interested in pre-live learning on horses, but my language is Portuguese, is there any way to translate your course? because I don't know anything about English..

So stay clear of Sky Bet… but how are the other bookies in the UK, same underhanded methods..?

Can skybet ask for all this information after you have had an account for 3 or 4 years and used it a couple of times a month, many deposits many withdrawals, then after you have won 4 grand on a slot game they refuse to let you withdrawal and want all the information like you have mentioned, is this unreasonable??

They did this to me and it wasn’t even that big of a winnings

Who are the corporate executives at skybet? They have names and addresses. "Voice your displeasure" with them in person.

Just a quick one fella....iv just had a row with sky bet they voided 2 bets in my accumulator when both won.....I done all 8 games in Israel 2nd division 3corners both half's all come in all finished at 7clock....I waited til 9clock this morning they voided 2 games and said the 3rd party who sents stats across never did for them 2games but did the other 6games.....I got screen shots that the bet won they have paided me out as a 6fold and are not budging anything I can do or have I been done over....if can let me no cheers

this needs to go viral and things neet to be put into place to stop this, its a shame it will never happen tho

Hi Caan this happened with my mum setting an account up for a bet on Cheltenham she won one of the three free bets withdraw and they suspended the account she’s sent documents 3-4 times and they keep saying the same thing can you help it’s not much but she’s stressing about it

É lamentável estas ocorrências .Te admiro por colocar as tuas experiências em demonstração apesar de aqui no Brasil ser um pouco difícil de achar EV+ nas partidas. Mas continue pois teus vídeos chegara as "4 cantos " do mundo e revelará de que forma a indústria consegue tentar enganar os teus apostadores

Am I missing something or didn’t they close your account because they successfully identified that your activity was being funded by someone who was previously banned by SkyBet?

It would be great to see if you could find an angle of some sort to beat Sky using their own tips. That would be interesting.

My balance stays the same, always withdraw winnings immediately no matter the size. Have always avoided Sky in all aspects.

Surely they're not allowed to ask for a completely random person's bank statements who have nothing to do with the sky bet account? I mean is gdpr not a thing ? Either way it's disgusting behaviour This is why I stick to my £1 footy accumulators Instore with paddy power I even get my pound back as a free bet if one team let's me down 😂

We all need to set up a group where we close all our betting sites until the terms and conditions are fair and these dirty things they do are stopped. If enough people get together and close their accounts then things will change. Does anyone think this is a good idea and can be implicated??

Closed my account years ago put a complaint but as usual nothing happened

Me and a friend in work bet with sky bet from nevember till end of jan on the freeze, we won between us just under 20k in 2 months..we now have no freeze option lol..crooks they are end of!!!!

Lesson in life: Don't fucking gamble. They are all scummy. Never gambled. Never will.

These businesses are parasites. I’d love to see gambling adverts totally banned. It’s impossible to watch sport without being encouraged to bet every few minutes.

Great video and well explained my right honourable parliamentarian friend, shared to my twitter

This was going on years ago with other bookies. They should ask for ID when you open the A/c but they know that a lot of folk will not bother and terminate their application. I have only one a/c now with smarkets and these guys have been great. Betting companies are the bigger set of bandits I have come across. Government should slap some heavy fines on these lot

They accept your money instantly, but it doesn’t work the other way.

Seems to be lots of deduction when horse wins 65p in the pound regularly yet only one horse isn't running

I don’t gamble but you breaking this down is amazing help to others in the future. I’m learning too 😂❤

No one talking about the influencers or the rigged accounts they play were they always win to entice ppl to play .. 🤢

The bookies are getting beyond a joke

Less than £1200. All this for less than £1200.
