What i cant seem to get to grips with why was these documents not asked for prior to the bets being placed? If books want accounts to be verified prior to taking any size of bet small or large then why not ask for this on registration? Not when the account is a winning one… It seems strange they are happy to take money hand over fist until the user wins then its time for the user to "prove" who they are.
The question i would ask would coral have taken the same approach should the account been a losing one? For example the user deposited £8000 and lost the bigger bet and won the smaller ones leaving the account down once all bets settled. Would they send back the initial deposit of £8000 or would they send the remaining balance (lower than £8000) once all bets settled taken in good faith?
Will be interested to know the outcome of this one as would hate to see the book not dealing with customers fairly and consistently IE changing the goal posts as it suits.
