Hi now that the UKGC has firms list the player fund protection level in the Ts&Cs do you think this should be added to the accreditation list and included in the score?
As you know the options are:
Basic - segregated accounts
Medium - segregated accounts with some banking/quinticlose protection from other creditors
High - funds held in trust account
Now this is my little list and there are some surprises with Party, 32Red, William Hill and BetFred rating badly
Stars - High
Tlit - High
BetFair - High
Coral - High
Ladbrokes - Medium
Paddy Power - Medium
888 - Medium - (NB this is for UK players only as is the UK right to access an independent dispute resolution rather than just taking 888s ruling, international players not even guaranteed segregation).
Sky - Medium
32Red - Basic
BetFred - Basic
William Hill - Basic
Party - Basic - (again even this segregation is for UK players only!)
I'd suggest listing the protection level - non UK being undisclosed/bad - and scoring appropriately, I'd also suggest adding a penalty for having different terms for UK players vsrest of the world as sharp practice.
Anyway I hope this makes sense - what do you think?
Cheers
