If you simply say "I need this money" they are supposed to suspend your account and ask to see proof of income before allowing you to bet again.
If you told them you are homeless, you won't get another account with that group probably.
USA books are just shutting people down and not asking for the SoF/SoW info so far. I'd guess to avoid the public outrage of demanding pay slips and tax returns and bank statements..Comment -

#51Licensed books have to follow Responsible Gambling Guidelines.
Can you please expand on the USA guidelines with respect to this issue. Is the concern degenerate gambling ?

#52It's going to depend on each state's attitude and it will "develop" over time. So far I have heard from only 4 or 5 US people being excluded after telling books they needed the withdraw now to pay for something or were desperate for the money.
But from the UK model, where most of these books are based, if you tell them you need the money, deposit large amounts (subjective, but 100k+ pounds in a year or less seems to trigger it), or suddenly change from $100 deposits to $10,000 deposits, or appear to have severe degen betting habits, you will be asked for SoW (source of wealth) and SoF (source of funds) information. Basically where have your funds come from, and how did you earn them.
This is partly to be seen to not be targeting/profiting form problem gamblers, but also to meet international AML and Terror Funding agreements, as well as local proceeds of crime laws.
The harder the anti-gambling lobby push in your state, the more onerous these responsible gambling related investigations will become.
That said, it is nowhere near as bad in Australia as it is in the UK using the same books. And hopefully the land of the free won't blindly follow the UK or allow these UK origin books to use the same awful system as the UK has developed in to now..Comment -

Hi Marc,
On June 2, 2020, you stated the following in your correspondences with DraftKings: "but covid, gettin kicked out of my home, & a pile of other factors is why i am just addressing this" and "currently "houseless", but i have a station wagon 4 shelter (temporarily)". Due to the statements you provided, we've gone ahead and closed your account according to our Responsible Gaming policies.

#64That is probably your only option. It will get you some satisfaction as least.
I would not like to meet the lawyer who would take your money to fight an impossible case though.
JJ gets it.
It's a private company who is under threat of huge fines if they "prey on poor people" by not doing this.
Bob hope and no hope are your only hopes.
Take note people... never tell Licensed books your private business. It can never help you and can often phukk you like here.
Dont say I need money.
Don't threaten a law suit.
Don't refuse any request, always sound like you want to try and comply, whether you do or not.
Never threaten a charge back.
And don't threaten/abuse staff like you can offshore.
All those can cause real problems. Actually more like "will" cause real problems..Comment -
