    Ladbrokes limits new account

    Hy, I opened Ladbrokes account and from the start my account was automatically limited to small amounts like 10-20 euros on major sports and leagues. I opened only that account and haven't made any deposit. They told me on chat that this is their business decision and that they have no plans in increasing my limits (I asked them do I need to send them any documents for verification or something like that). I am from Croatia and I have read on forums that other clients from Croatia had similar experiences. My question is can they to that for all new account registered from here? Croatia is not on their restricted lists of countries so I don't understand why they are limiting account opened from here from the start.

    In truth, they can do whatever the hell they want. That's the bottom line.

    Maybe Croatia is famous for arbers, bonus/steam players?
    I wouldn't know, just guessing...
    if you are not, there is of course no reason why you should waste your time with this pseudo-book instead of simply using Pinny, Matchbook etc.

    Same thing here,it last for almost month and more,they limit players from Croatia because i try open new account maybe month ago and my friend two weeks ago.I dont know why it happen like this and how long it ll stay.Some other country maybe have same limit?Why they just dont put us on restricted list?
    Same thing is with partybets/gamebookers where limits are also 10-20 euro max winning per bet even for new accounts.

    Ladbokres was once a great book, high stakes, many live events, hasn't placed limits after few bets. Then few years ago many things changed, they started to limit players after few bets (no matter they won or loose). It is simply ridiculous to limit all new accounts, why they don't restrict than all country. So they are thinking that all customers from one country are connected, play sure bets or something like that? I would like to ask SBR how the hell such book can have A rating?

    They pay enough money for the rating

    They pay out fast and sometimes they have good odds. But when you play one or two value bets, you will get a limit. I can place bets of 0 Euro

    We all now many of British books act in that manner today, but to limit a player before he even placed a single bet is a joke.

    One of reasons books are quickly limiting is because of the advancement of surebet software

    So many people using it now and eventually will not be worth it

    When you find sure bet between SBObet and Pinnacle let me know.
    Why there are so many sure bets? Mainly because bookmakers thinks that it is enough to put starting odds (in most cases they just copy odds from other books) and after that do nothing. This is dynamic market and you must hire more people if or hire people who know how actually monitor the market and avoid so many sure bets.
    But it seams that it is a much easier to limit players after they hit few good lines. I am sorry but those sportsbooks are not actually a bookmakers, they only want players who loose money. Here is a good example (it is a bit old, but things hasn't changed much from then):

    11.11.2004 (11:24 AM CST)Owner of ScandicBookmakers (SBR rating C-) tells SBR that they will no longer be accepting clients outside of Scandinavia, stating they have sustained a loss due to an increase in professional players and have not been able to attract the type of customer they would like.

    Bullshit, you don't need a software to find arbs with these crappy brit books.
    They don't want any action from anyone with a brain, only dummies who will play the heavy juiced lines.
    They are not books, they are sucker milking thieves.
    It's always been like that, they kicked out ppl 10 years ago...get your shit together JJ or whoever you are atm and stop posting nonsense.
