Player alleges he spent £43k at Ladbrokes, no checks. Then sabotaged thread.

How about you take responsibility for your own actions? I take it you were prepared to lose the £43k? Would you have returned any profit that you made?

It's so last season, todays it's cool to do something stupid expensive fckups and blame somebody else being responsible because they allowed. These claims that casinos shouldn't let me lose for reason XYZ are very common these days.

Happily we are not in reach of US civil courts who keep giving "Darwin Award" people huge compensations for being stupid/irresponsible, there's quite good reason why UKGC want to avoid much as they can to handle any player complaints, it these are free to do and there is nothing to lose, naturally there always are some people who think it would be only fair thing to happen to get full refund from losses.

Think many on this forum have time to time lost more than planned but majority just accept it as own stupidity and go on. Unfortunate for others is that when these keep happening enough, UKGC (or whoever regulator who start to see these as big issue) start throw these cool regulations for max bets, max deposits and all other childish limits just because very small part of players don't wanna hold any responsibility about their actions, many thought that it's enough to make sure that only adults can gamble but there always are few who wanna prove it wrong and want somebody else take care of their self-control and pay damages.
 
It’s ok Colin I have discussed it with my solicitor and I will be enforcing action against them. Even if I don’t get anything back it will be raised with the UKGC and Ladbrokes will more than likely get a fine for there irresponsible behaviour.
why do you think that most casinos have a deposit threshold before source of wealth verification???

What about your irresponsible behaviour losing £43k within 30 minutes. Why not look in the mirror?

and still you haven't answered my question, you said you think they breached their LCCP, if you believe that, why can you not quote the exact part you are talking about? I'm not trying to 'catch you out' just interested to know.

I actually think this is genius. If you win you get to keep all the money and if you lose you can cry about it and get all your deposits back. As a player you can't lose. Somehow I suspect that casinos won't like it however. :D

Casinos and the betting industry have to take responsibility they are making massive amount of profit every year. If I join a casino and deposit £100 that’s fine and I wouldn’t expect a source of funds check but when you deposit £43,000 under a hours which is probably twice the average salary in the U.K. then obviously they should do some kind off check before these deposits.
It’s just common sense.

so as we speak Ladbrokes don’t no anything about me my wages, salary, investments, shares etc and it’s there job to get this information before i make large deposits so they are happy whereabouts my money has come from.
If I bought a house l, shares etc they would check this information so it’s the same and is required legally

My solicitor will deal with that mate as they specialise in online gambling so it’s not for me to say mate I just let the professional people do this

So you think it’s normal for a new account to be allowed to deposit £43,000 is that responsible from Ladbrokes? I am talking about Ladbrokes duty off care mate

No, just fucking no. It's actually not their job to stop you from doing stupid things. It's actually your job to make sure you don't blow 43k in an hour at a casino if you can't handle the consequences. See, actions have consequences.

Seems like money and brains don't go hand in hand. How the hell did you even get 43k to blow on roulette?

I do like this mate.

so if I win £100,000 and attempted to withdraw this money but then Ladbrokes would obviously do the required source off funds check definitely.

Just talk to your solicitor and come back in a year or two and tell us if you got your money back.
Good idea mate I will see you if a few years with my 1.7 million!!!

To be serious for me it’s not about the money I really don’t care about that but I do want to see what happens as if I was a person who only had £43,000 life savings in my account then lost that under one hour I would definitely say it’s very irresponsible by Ladbrokes to be allowed to do this.
I will let you know the outcome

So what happens if that money come from illegal sources/ money laundering for example and they let me deposit £43k without source of funds what would happen? I know exactly what would happen they would be fined by the Ukgc.
So that’s why these casino have threshold limits in place to prevent this which didn’t happen in my case
Would they not pass your information and the particulars to relevant authorities? I’m sure they would

You're missing one big point, they did a SoW check on you, which you haven't responded to. You are going to have major problems getting anywhere unless you do that, if you can't afford it, or the money isn't clean, then you would have more of a chance of winning.
What did the ADR say?

Ok mate. You don't really care, but have started two similar topics about it a month apart.

Yeah, that screams I don't really care. :p

All my money is all above above board but that’s not the point. The point is they didn’t do reasonable checks

Mate I am at home because of covid, so I have plenty of time on my hands for sure so I have created these. I have plenty of money even though that’s none of you’re business tbh
I am the sort of person who likes to investigate these challenges and see what the outcome brings

Well, you won't see any real outcome bitching about it here. No one seems to agree with you, so there's that. Just not the outcome you hoped for. Maybe if you start a third topic about it. I mean third time's the charm. :D

And just because of very small amount of people keep crying these "duty of care" things, all players get more and more limited and get more and more shit with SOW:s and other stuff.

For most it's enough duty of care to allow gambling only for adults, if you as adult can't be responsible of your actions, you would need somebody to look after your finances, not let you to handle anything sharp or ever hold gun etc... probably safest way would be some round room in certain type of care home.

Fcking great if because of these "badly treated people who are robbed by casinos" cause these limits and verifications for everyone, fcking cool that if somebody do have bit more money than average, you are not allowed to gamble in level you want because of small part of people don't accept they can lose and start to cry their losses back.

Happily there are very few occasions when this has happened, UKGC don't have issues to give quite big penalties for these companies, happily it's very uncommon that these fraud people who keep trying to claim their losses back, would get anything as GC knows very well that one their decision for refund cause 10k+ demands for same on very same day when these people read about it.
 
[maxd says: given the situation I've restored the original post]

Yes Colin as it says the safer gambling team at Ladbrokes later that day after my £43,000 deposits reviewed my account and restricted my account but this should have been done before. Why do you think these threshold limits came in for £2000 and after that customers are required to complete source of funds checks
