.....Then the ukgc hands out big fines then every man women and goat from the U.K. will be hit with as some say over the top request.
A few check electronically for your identity but they don’t know if your deposits are your wages stolen or laundered so in the future I expect them to follow the ‘Malta mafia’ route (You heard it here first) :p

No they won't. The UKGC have already hit some of the big firms, and they haven't changed anything. The difference is, they understand the law. I'm sure a lot of Maltese casinos just google what they should do, or see other casinos doing something and copy.
If your play is suspicious, if you are depositing large amounts, then you are likely to get a SoW at some point, if not, you won't.

Quite.

The cases where the UK casinos have had fines have been clear and obvious errors, usually involving 6 figure sums deposited.

What you very rarely (i.e never) hear of is a casino being fined because they didn't perform a SOW check on Fred, 59, who decided to have a £50 session on Book of Dead.

Depends what casinos see as 'large' amounts. Some will turn a blind eye and let players continue to deposit. A large amount to someone is different to others. It's all rather vague.

Just understanding the law won’t be enough tho even you’d know that, yes they hit them with fines recently imo they will keep hitting them with fines

Understanding the law is absolutely all it needs. They know they don't need to SoW someone who sticks a fiver a week on a football coupon every Saturday, so they don't, and they won't get a penalty for not doing so. Like Mr_Slot5 says, the penalties that have been handed out are for clear breaches of the LCCP, & many times action only taken after being highlighted by the media.

It isn't vague, money laundering rules are in place in pretty much every business, they are actually pretty clear if you read and understand them. If you go and deposit £50 cash into your bank account, you don't have your account frozen and have to stand on one leg, holding your passport and juggling oranges before you can buy a can of pop from the local Spar. You know why not? Because the banks have legal counsel who understand the law, and know what a suspicious transaction is.

RG issues are less clear, but still clear enough to know that the once a week fiver football customer, is not showing signs of having a gambling problem, or betting above his likely means.
 
Whilst I’m on my soap box you rate trada 8/10 :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: all this boils down to is PP Are doing there own thing you can’t get a piece of the pie so you wouldn’t touch with a barge pole, makes a complete mockery when trada are 8/10 and it took months for you to listen about casumo also the white hat clip joint lot may pay but they also take the Piss as well with long pending times and no rep, they only had a rep so they could trick you and get accredited funny how the rep maja all of a sudden stopped working there like a week after they were accredited. You also rate bitstarz highly as well even though they steal every day from players, just way too
Much hypocrisy on here
 
And furthermore @colinsunderland a casino has no legal right to deny payout owing to an RG issue they find whilst checking docs nor if a customer fails to comply to an RG check.

That's why I'm almost 100% certain that these companies withholding withdrawals are using AML as a smokescreen to deny/stall winnings.

This is why the two shouldn't be mixed/conflated.

Affordability checks can be done more often and usually a pay slip will suffice for more moderate depositors.

As you've pointed out, AML should be reserved for clear evidence of suspicious playing behaviour and deposit amounts. Where there is no clear and obvious arousal of suspicion, a casino is unlikely to be fined. That is why the cases we see of big fines are so clear and obvious errors on the casino side.

Anyway, we have seemingly digressed from the topic at hand. Paddy are a decent outfit, as many here agree :)

Think it all comes down to how you view a casino. If you are an affiliate and earn money from them then British bookie sites are no good. They don't need forums and affiliates as such as they have plenty advertising and big enough player base. Fact they have shops everywhere help. And as they will not cooperate and enter discussions then i can see why they are disliked.

But for the average person that has no interest in affiliates and stuff like that the Bookies sites are the best.

Got all the selection of games you need. Have decent sports betting. Plenty bonuses and free bets. Fast payouts and less hassles.

From a UK player point of view a Bookie site will elecrtonically verify you. You change your debit card you just update it. No need for ever having to do this crap and scan copies of your card whenever you change it. No need for all these documents and crap that goes with foreign based casinos.

Yeah they do not cooperate with forums, do not need affiliates. But for actual people that just want to play slots they are the best. An accredited casino is only good until something goes wrong. I personally would not go oh they are accredited so safe to sign up. Look at Betat , Casumo , and several others to see what i mean. Least i feel safe that the Bookies sites will not suddenly go overnight. So to say PP , WH, Coral are all dodgy like as been said on many threads and couldn't give a toss and are not good places to play is wrong.

They might not be cooperative with forums and affiliates. But they are probably safer bets for a player than any of the accredited casinos . If i win £50,000 i would rather get it at a bookies knowing it will be paid in days unless checks are done than a foreign casino where you would panic about getting winnings until you had actually received them.
 
Requested a withdraw last night for a smallish sum of £400 (like at 2am), and I am eligible for Visa Direct, still not processed. So hope they will do that soon.

Otherwise I have no complaints about them, probably in the same boat as Willhill tbh.
 
Well.. as I hate waiting I contacted support asking about my payment.
After a very long time of waiting, they claimed it has been processed already. I said I should have it in my bank then as mine supports Visa Direct.
,
Go told it's up to the bank to accept each transaction for instant withdraw.
I then said, why does it says "Pending withdraw" under my withdraw tab then?

"Sir the issue with the withdrawal in question is that today is part of a bank holiday weekend and so the withdrawal should be accepted by tomorrow." ???

Probing further I just get answers: " It should be accepted by the bank tomorrow sir. "
lol


I'm just going to assume he has no clue and answering stock answering even if he said he needed to have 10 minutes to investigate.
 
This is golden, entire chat here:

Hello, I made a withdraw last night and my debit card should be eligible for Visa Direct, but it's not been processed yet. Can you process my withdraw please?

your transaction has been processed from our side and it is now up to the bank to credit the money onto your account. this should take 2-5 working days from the date of the transaction and since it was placed just before the weekend, that might have dragged things a bit.
You at 10:54, Aug 3:
Hmm.. the card is with Natwest, so it should be with Visa Direct, which means instant payout
You at 10:54, Aug 3:
Why was it not sent this way?
Tristan at 10:56, Aug 3:
I'm afraid that instant withdrawals are up to the bank's discretion to grant you the service on a transaction to transaction basis. We do not have any control over this service and if you would like to know more I would suggest contacting the bank.
You at 10:55, Aug 3:
It works fine on other sites, so I know it is supported.
You at 10:55, Aug 3:
Another thing, is when I go to card details on my account page it says "Pending withdrawal(s)"
You at 10:56, Aug 3:

You at 10:57, Aug 3:
No, im not trying to remove it. It just noticed it saying pending withdraws when I went to card details
You at 10:58, Aug 3:
Actually, on my tab when I go to withdraw. It very clearly says pending withdrawal still

Tristan at 11:05, Aug 3:
I'm afraid it is sir and that is why your withdrawal has not yet been accepted by the bank.
You at 11:05, Aug 3:
No it's not, only in Scotland.
You at 11:05, Aug 3:

You at 11:05, Aug 3:

Tristan at 11:10, Aug 3:

You at 11:10, Aug 3:
Can you confirm that once a withdraw has been processed, it should not longer "Pending Withdrawal" ?
Tristan at 11:13, Aug 3:
Yes sir correct.
You at 11:12, Aug 3:
Ok great. So, if it has been processed as you said.. why is mine still showing as pending then?
You at 11:12, Aug 3:
I don't think your payment team has actually processed it
Tristan at 11:16, Aug 3:
I apologize, that was a mistake on my end. I'#m afraid the withdrawal has not been processed at the moment due to the bank holiday. That being said the withdrawal should be accepted tomorrow.
You at 11:15, Aug 3:
Aha, so your payment team is off today?
You at 11:15, Aug 3:

Had £5 bonus today..wagered it and left with £1.35.Recieved a further 25 fs "Wish upon a jackpot"..won £2.55.
Overall..not dat bad.:laugh:
 
I had a withdrawal pending for 24 hrs or so a couple of weeks back. Rather than it go by Visa Direct like it usually does, it went via standard Visa refund. I presumed it was because I withdrew via mobile rather than on PC like i always do any other time.
 
Hi guys..i have a suggestion:- Jackpot King @PaddyPower is at £3 million plus. I wanna pool a £1 bet from here, if a CM menber wins it, then e1 wins..the pool balance is split, if no one wins it then it moves forward till someone wins, but it must be a CM member.Now it remains that who is gonna be the pool's treasurer?

This is open to all discussion and comment.
 
Please do not suggest having private contests here. They have been disastrous at times, and I don't need the grief. Thank you.
 
Hi Guys, don't forget to check your promotion in one of the bingo rooms, under "menu" then "promotions".i found couple of £2 bingo bonus..and a £5 bonus. now they're all expired:eek:.

sorry to drag old thread out, I found out it’s only £300 for visa direct any more and it’s normal withdrawl I withdrew £950 but thought it would be visa direct however it said it will be 2-5 days. I think they need more info on amount for visa direct as bet365 is large amount PP only allowed £300. Also the pending time is ridiculous mine pended from 3am Thursday and only just been done before :rolleyes: which is quite long. Apart from the snail pace withdrawl pending I like PP and also use my PP card too
