Due to changes to UK Gambling Legislation Sportsbet.com.au has taken the decision to suspend accepting bets from customers located in the United Kingdom.

Now that we’re all one big happy family with our friend’s over at Paddy Power, it makes a lot more sense to keep things local and direct all our UK customers over to Paddypower.com. You’ll need to open up a new account with them, but you’ll instantly receive all the immediate benefits of being on the same time-zone, such as an improved betting-in-running product, more accessible customer services and a wider range of local markets.

You’ll also have access to all their great offers, products and award winning content. What’s not to like?

As such, we will be closing all Sportsbet accounts originating from the UK from September 23rd 2014. We’ll be sorry to see you go and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your custom. Our customer services team will be on hand to ensure you are able to withdraw any outstanding funds from your Sportsbet account.

Thanks once again and say g’day to Queenie for us.

Kind Regards,

Sportsbet Customer Service Team

Probably prompted not so much by changes in U.K. gambling regulation but more PaddyPower realising its a good excuse to cull U.K. customer accounts, knowing many will be bonus hunters/advantage players & will already have their PP accounts closed or limited to next to nothing bets
