    Bookmakers Closing Accounts

    As there are a lot of members of this forum who have had accounts at bookmakers closed as they have been too profitable I'm wondering if anybody has dug a bit deeper to understand the legal grounding that bookmakers use to allow them to service one customer but refuse service to another customer?

    Do you know if there have been any legal challenges and what the case reference is?

    Thanks.

    Private businesses can do business with whomever they wish. If it was the U.S., they can't discriminate based on race, religion, etc. But this wouldn't even implicate that either. Simple answer: you can't challenge it.
