Books Updating Terms & Conditions

[Hareeba!]

When bookmakers update their T&Cs some in my experience simply refer you to them in their entirety and seem to think that is adequate.

I don't think that's at all reasonable. Sometimes they amount to numerous pages which would take a very long time to read and digest before you make your next bet which is subject to whatever changes they've made.

They should be required to spell out what changes have been introduced and refer you to the relevant clauses.

I've seen this problem at several places in the past. One that comes to mind is SBOBet. But today's rant has been prompted after receiving an email from Matchbook which simply provided a link to their T&Cs with no explanation at all.

I like the way Betfair gives you a short plain language rundown about what has been changed and why.

Yes. An example which the rest should follow.

One of the worst cases this year was Pinnacle's introduction of their 5x turnover and 3% withdrawal fee. They just did it and didn't tell anyone about it!

The worst I've seen is Tattsbet. Until you accept their changes you can't make a bet. I logged in specifically to place a bet. If I were to have read their extraordinarily lengthy T&Cs the race would have been well and truly over before I'd got 20% of the way through them!
