Very minor, but will mention anyway.
My deposit limit is low with SkyBet - £5.00 maximum per day. I probably play 2 or 3 days a month at most and it has consistently been like that for about 3 years.
I only play virtual horseracing just for a bit of fun - 50p e/w, tricasts etc.
Last month I got a bit lucky and won about a hundred quid and cashed out. Woah.
I just received this email from them:
Dear XXXXXXXXXXX,
We’re writing to let you know about an important change to your account. This is in regard to the application of a virtual sports restriction.
What has changed?
As part of our commitment to Safer Gambling, we regularly review the experiences and products that we offer our customers and have made the decision to apply a virtual sports restriction to your account.
What this means:
A virtual sports restriction means that you will be unable to play virtual sports at Sky Betting and Gaming.
You will still be able to see virtual sports on the website and app, but the restriction means you are unable to place any bets.
We have taken this proactive decision because protecting our customers is our number one priority. At this moment, we will not be reversing the restriction on your account.

I guess I don't mind, it's just strange how they came to that conclusion.
Have a good day.
