Just thinking for a while, if you have considerable funds there, what is the protocol for reputable books?
TIA

[firekillex]

well realistically how would they even know you died?

i guess if somehow a friend or family member knew of your account if you talk to them about it possibly they could get your funds , but knowing bookies this would be a gigantic hassle to get the $ and youd probably have to go through a terribly long process to get the funds, or they would spew some bs saying only the owner of the account can withdraw the money so it would just sit there collecting dust

What if you find a wallet full of money and no one sees you?... answer is pretty much the same

one book told me can be transferred to wife, family etc. if death certificate provided.

i could see this being valid, your wife or family could with a certificate and other paperwork im assuming would probably just be a pain in the ass but could be done if its enough money that it would be worth while aka 5k and up

hopefully you dont plan on dying anytime soon brotha, but hope that helps, also it probably matters what book youre with, best chance send them an email and ask for future reference/ curiosity

Basically the same as a bank account. Any reputable establishment (book or otherwise) will need to be sure they are paying the right person.

Most would probably swallow it after a couple of years max.
Bet365 has a policy of stealing a percentage from dormant accounts every month until it's all gone.
You simply have to let a family member know about all your bookie accounts and how to access them to withdraw your money.

Teach the wife about Bitcoin...and show her how to create a new address each trip. Good as gold.


But seriously, good question...and I would like to think the death certificate route would suffice.

Teach someone in your family to get money out. IMO It s stupid to inform bookies about it.

[DISTROYA]

true dat Limited.

Agree.
It will save a lot of trouble and delay to just have the family log in and request withdrawals rather than letting the books (or your bank) learn about your passing.

Lots of european books, takes 5-10 euro every month after 6-18 months of inactive account

legal? theft!

[Itsamazing777]

Same as if you just leave the money their. It's confiscated after a year or so of inactivity.

[relaaxx]

tell the wife to contact SBR for help in getting any funds. i 'd like to thank SBR now for the inevitable.

That is not true. I had money in my 5 dimes account for over 10 years without knowing. Logged into my account a few months ago and there was $100 sitting there. The last time I played there was 2005.

[Natty68]

I often wondered if a spiteful soon-to-be-ex-wife knew about a substantial balance in an off-shore she would try to include it his list of assets.

If the book will stiff you when youre living what makes you think something will change when you die

[Border Gadgie]

Williamhill will start emptying the account automatically after 13 months of inactivity. You should get a warning email about it, but I wouldnt trust them to send it. Best to use your funds if you can or empty your account.

LOL!

So you assume everyone knows ahead of time that that time is up?

[Border Gadgie]

Haha.....er no, its just helpful information about a particular book....careful you dont peg it any time soon

Many euro bookies will start deducting money when account becomes dormant. Anyway, why would people keep money in bookies if they dont use them.

Been in jail tends to be a common reason.

If the book is legally established in the country of its jurisdiction
and must operate to the terms of its gambling license, and has
a history of reliablity, then it's not unlike an offshore bank account.

[DISTROYA]

major reputable book 2 of them yes. not these fly by crappy ones, both A+

[Artizan]

I think it depends by amount and bookmaker's policy
