The easiest option is just to comply with the request. As long as the account is in your name it shouldn't be a problem. If they have asked for bank statements you should send redacted statements unless they specifically specify otherwise.
Lol no I’m not. Whether the bookmakers like it or not you are allowed to also bet elsewhere. That isn’t grounds for not paying
I reccomend you look up the puntnow case that happened last year.
If they have in their terms and conditions about arbing, they can ask for betting statements from other companies to prove it.

This would set an extremely dangerous precedence.
Eg.
Betfocus account used to facilitate an arb.
Scenario 1:
Betfocus side of bet is a losing bet.
- They DON'T request user's betting statement from competitor (aka other bookmaker)
Scenario 2:
Betfocus side of bet is a winning bet.
- They DO request user's betting statement from competitor (aka other bookmaker)
See the issue here? If it's good for the Goose, it has to be good for the Gander also.

If you want to be argumentative, the least you could do is provide evidence to back up your statements.
Where is the link to this case?
They can ask all they want but it doesn’t make it legal and it wouldn’t hold up legally no matter what they have in their terms and conditions about arbing
Bet365 tried this stunt just a few months ago and immediately had to withdraw their request as soon as it escalated. That sort of invasiveness is far beyond what they are allowed to do to get out of paying someone or suspecting that someone might be arbing (which isn’t illegal)
I'm sure you're capable of searching this yourself .
You may be right on a legal front. I wouldn't expect anyone to go legal for a small amount of money. Unfortunately, there is not alot the punters can do in these situations and bodies such as lg NSW don't actually help to get monies back.
Sticking to what I said earlier, best to avoid showing them transactions to other bookies if they ask for a statement. Unless there was no arbing done.
Plenty of places you can file a case without a lawyer needed and even the threat of it should result in the bookmaker withdrawing their request as it is well beyond what they are reasonably allowed to request without having strong evidence of money laundering. It’s definitely too invasive to avoid paying out on the suspicion of arbing or promo abuse.
Just don’t show them anything beyond the transaction from your bank to theirs. That is all they realistically need
I said I would only provide a bank statement with the transaction to betfocus visible. The initial deposit was $300 I tried to withdraw around $400. They said they would pass on my message to accounts. At worst I probably would of got my deposit back.. However I cancelled the withdrawal request and dropped the lot!
Agree with this 100%
This is why TAB and Sportsbet are the absolute Kings of the bookmakers to make money on. Everything else proceed with
This sucks. I've been in the exact same position before. It's really foul play by them.
I may he very off here. Did you happen to deposit $300 get a $90 bonus, do less then a few bets to turnover and then put through a withdraw soon after?
one angle I found is there won't be any goals tonight
Just same game multi hack it.
wheres this from?
Yes, that's correct. I requested the withdrawal after 3 days and not many bets placed.
Yep, then that's a retaliation of bookmakers to then request documents. Seen it a few times from Wishbet, Betcloud bookies and now Betfocus.

Sportsbet? Are you serious? Been restricted to Penny's for at least a decade, maybe I can get on a sports bet to win say $40 or $50 depending on the event or market but that's it. Forget about horse racing bets $10 @ 3.00 will be rejected and give me some bizzare $2.34.Agree with this 100%

Without promos then sportsbet has no value.

More stake restrictions I was talking about but yeah promo banned as well
Strangely enough I can still get a decent stake at Bet365 and also promo banned, Unibet tiny stakes and promo banned but still I can turn a profit out of that book with positive EV's
