Pinnacle Sports set to exit UK market ahead of new UK Gambling Law implementation

Premium tradings is a solid choice as well, with the trading platform they can provide you. They can also give you betfair accounts.

I fail to see how agents providing services to UK residents aren't subject to the same tax regime as those deserting.

I think there's a good deal of false hope amongst those suggesting they are a solution.

Sportmarket Pro and Asian Connect have potential

need to research further

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Sportmarket Pro and Asian Connect have potential

Sportmarket Pro is fantastic for soccer play, automatically gives you the best price from pinny/sbo/ibc/isn/samvo/matchbook, from a single account.

Who knows how financially stable they are though.....

If they aren't based in the UK, and don't obviously market themselves in the UK they may get away with it. The enforcement measures are fairly weak in this case.

I was wondering the same thing. isn't the "point of consumption" the same whether you use a broker or if you bet directly with the bookie?

I have no idea how the United Kingdom can enforce books not paying the tax

It seems impossible

They could try doing what Uncle Sam does.
There is also a lot of talk about Australia following suit

Why would they need to know how many?

They aren't worried when it comes down to it about sharp people carrying on with non-UK books. There is no attempt at blocking anything, and people doing it aren't committing any offence either.

Most books these days that are regulated elsewhere though don't want too obvious grey business in case it rebounds on them, either with their current regulator, or if they want to re-enter the UK market at a later date. An agent may only make it light grey but they can try to maintain they don't know where the ultimate customer is.
