Threat to close account

[radge1]

 

For info to fellow players...

I have received the email copy pasta'd below, not sure if it a new thing or not. On occasion I wish to withdraw funds when I have less than the minimum withdrawal amount. I do this by depositing then withdrawing the larger amount. This apparently flags for sic "ma(n)y legal reasons" 🤔

"Good morning Mark,

 

I hope you are well.

Our security team have reviewed your account, this flagged to them after you deposited and withdrew without game play.

We do need to inform you this type of activity will flag for may legal reasons. Going forward would you only deposit funds which you intend to play through on the site or you risk having the account closed down.

Thank you for your understanding.
 

Kind regards,

Doris

It's very much an industry standard that you have to wager your deposit at least once before you'll be able to withdraw.

As Purps said. I think this is a friendly reminder, because deposit to gambling sites then withdraw without play could be one type of money laundering.

Money laundering of 10€? 🤣 (Unless deposit is 1000€ to then withdraw 1009€...)

As mentioned above, this is completely standard process for anti money laundering reasons. It sounds like it's something you've done several times, so not too surprising if it eventually resulted in a warning (even if the amount is small).

Google "AML bookmaker fine UK" and you'll understand 🙂
