I find this obscene to be honest, How much of her income comes from problem gamblers?

And the people who own the distilleries...and cigarettes....and and and...everything can be addictive.....casinos are offering entertainment, a service call it what you want.....I don't think it's obscene at all...sorry....unless of course bet365 is rogue....then this would be obscene....and just not right.
And she started this business...
its obscene when she denies winners their money...on some rule that third parties are not allowed to bet...when she knows that is what happens eg with the grand national
What i find obscene is for a CEO to pay themselves basically half of the companies profits.
I suppose I am somewhat jealous and she did start the company herself never the less it seems an excessive reward
for running an online bookies.
I worked there and left with a smile on my face but you can't deny it's an incredible business. As for the comment about problem gamblers - please, less than 2% of all gambling comes from people deemed to have a problem. Most of 365's money comes from Asia anyway who don't have the human right to spend their money however they please, so if anything they're shitting on the Chinese communists and not many others.
These companies rely heavily on problem gamblers and its dillusional to think otherwise.
Bet365 are one of the worst bookmakers in the world. Hopefully with all the regulatory changes Bet365 and the other shit bookmakers such as Ladbrokes and William Hill all piss off and leave Australia.

I have no problem with wealth or entrepreneurs who make millions/billions but her company does nothing for society except take money from those that cannot afford it.
Merely proving your ignorance here I'm afraid. I'm sure the 5million+ players in the database and 1million+ unique weekly active players are primarily made up of 'problem gamblers', just as most bars make most of their profits from alcoholics.
No, I find your comments ridiculous. Why anyone would stick up for this dog of a company is beyond me.
I have mentioned I am in Australia, my comments are based on this country not yours. In Australia Bet365 amongst punters have a ratshit reputation. The main forum site in Australia is punters.com.au and the number of complaints that come through the site against bet365 is alarming. Whats more alarming is the number of complaints registered with the Northern Territory Racing Commission which regulates most bookmakers is increasing on a monthly basis and bet365 tops the list. I have contacts at the commission who have advised complaints are at an all time high.
Bet365 only caters for customers who lose, winning accounts are limited or promptly closed. It has gotten to the point where there have been that many complaints the federal government in Australia is looking at making changes to the way they operate which would prevent companies like bet365 picking and chosing which clients they want. Exploiting the losers and pissing the winners off.
I have said previously in other posts that bet365 was a good place to bet, good betting options and plenty of live video coverage however its the people behind the business that have made it an unethical and unreliable place to bet at. Bet365 is not accredited at Casinomeister, its blacklisted at thepoggg and affiliateguarddog.
You have worked for them previously so no doubt your view point is skewed, as someone who has worked in the gambling industry in Australia I know for certainty that in Australia 35-40% of their profits comes from problem gamblers and not the paltry 2% you spout about which would be complete crap and no doubt a figure that bet365 boasts about.
Personally I hope the Australia government kicks them out of the country.
All high street bookmakers in the UK have restricted accounts, they all do it, they all only want losers especially if you are backing 20/1 shots the night before and they get smashed into 2/1 or whatever and hose up, the only 2 places you can safely play at without fear of being limited is the better exchanges which would be Betfair which is now merged with Paddy Power and Betdaq which was bought by Ladbrokes a few years ago, they take a small commission off of winnings, so it is in their interest to not start limiting / closing accounts
Yes I completely agree. Betfair are by far the safest place to bet, although the TAB in Australia is probably the next safest place to bet.
I have worked in the regulatory arm previously dealing with bookmaker complaints from the public so my view point is based on first hand experience. However working for a toothless tiger means the bookmakers like bet365 keep getting away with unethical business practises.
Indeed I assume the bookmakers mentioned above bought into the exchanges for hedging purposes? as bookmakers prices are always far shorter, a 20/1 shot at the bookies will generally
be 46 in decimal or so, 20/1 in fractional is 21 in decimal, just add +1 basically
I understand the complaint now. Because they remove risky players - IE those who could hurt their profits, they're a bad business? Seems sensible to me.
Anyway, i'm not defending bet365 as an operation, I'm defending Denise for taking some of her hard earned money out of the business. Wealth hating socialists raised the issue, I simply stepped in to put them back into their boxes!
