The REAL Ladbrokes Life

Are you a bit of a lad do you consider yourself  to be the professor when betting and have you   put your smart money on with coral these are  stereotypes targeting that ladbrokes coral   use in their advertising in particular and . of course the chance to win lots of money   maybe you're a dreamer a glory seeker a back page  philosopher a wednesday night warrior or a have a   go hero on a saturday afternoon or maybe it's time . that you wised up because this is the ladbrokes   life exposing several shocking truths about , ladbrokes coral that they don't want you to see   inspired by an article that was in the news , earlier in the week where four individuals were   sentenced for defrauding ladbrokes coral betting  shops for more than six hundred thousand pounds   they've done it by placing bets on the automated . betting terminals inside the shops depositing a   note into the machine and then using a plastic . lead to pull it back out once the machine had   registered the deposit something that i certainly . couldn't condone isn't right and he's certainly   wrong you might say that they were changing the . terms of the bet after it had initially been   placed which is what drew my attention to this , article and made me laugh a little bit because   ladbrokes are renowned for doing exactly , the same thing in a roundabout kind of way   for example you place your bet with ladbrokes . and then they turn around and withdraw the best   odds guaranteed they take away promotional bonuses , they tell you that the odds are a palpable error   therefore it needs to be changed or in some  instances they even cancel the bet altogether   although they don't offer you the chance to take , your money back once the bet has already been   placed maybe somebody at ladbroke should also . be looking a little bit of sentence in in the   near future too but it gets worse because recently , there's also been issues online where people have   announced that ladbrokes have changed the terms of . their bets after they've been placed because they   own a grid card for anybody that doesn't know  what a grid card is it's like a bonus card an   offers card that incentivizes you to come back as  a customer inside the betting shops what they're   doing though is taking your data and information ,

when you register for one of these grid cards   linking it to your online betting account so if , you face betting restrictions because you are   a winner or somebody who has previously taken  promotional materials from ladbrokes coral they   are then restricting you in shop after you've . placed a bet i mean just look at this instance   online where somebody has placed bets in the , shop in the knowledge that they had a great   card that the bet was accepted they have a  bet id and then later once the bet has won   ladbrokes turn around and say that you cannot  have your winnings because your online account   is restricted presumably ladbrokes being , a responsible operator that they are would   refund that money to anybody who is in that same  situation where the bet didn't win wouldn't they   to add insult to injury there's an ongoing , gambling review where betting operators like   gladbrokes or gbc and coral who own ladbrokes , coral are claiming that they have problems   identifying problem gamblers although they clearly , don't have problems identifying winning gamblers   i mean just look at this article online where , they took eight years to identify somebody who   had a problem addiction which leads me on nicely  to the latest developments around single customer   view now some people may not be aware what , that is watching this video so very quickly   single customer view is something that's being . put forward by the uk gambling commission and   mps in parliament to empower bookmakers and allow . them to have your data across multiple platforms   meaning if you deposit with ladbrokes then william  hill bet365 many other operators will also know   this is supposed to be used to target problem  gamblers although i think it's highly likely   companies like ladbrokes are going to be using . it to link up with their grid card system so they   can actually limit customers who actually take , money from them use their promotional materials   and let the problem carry on as usual an , interesting point on this is andrew rhodes   the ceo of the gambling commission recently said , in the racing post that if ban operators abused   affordability checks and this kind of system  then the gambling commission would step in and   take action something i'm sure he regrets right .

now because it's been happening for over 10 years   and we're still waiting ladbrokes state restricted , my account and refused my bets many years ago   so it's old news for me as it will be for many . people that also follow this channel if you don't   understand how you can be a bookmaker check out , this link in the top of the screen here or also   description down below but the point is very clear , and simple this is not about identification it's   about integrity you only have to look at the news  once more ladbrokes in the past have wooed problem   gamblers to spend more money on their platform and . then when things go wrong they want to pay them   out of court have an out of course settlement and  stop it from appearing inside the media i mean we   have to ask ourselves here is this really a . good idea to give these companies more data   and allow them to share it between multiple . different platforms and also is the gambling   commission even doing their job after all one of . their main lines is to make sure that gambling   is fair and open right now they don't appear  to be representing consumers as they should be   neither does chris phillips one of the mps who , is endorsing the single customer view of the   information commissioner's office earlier in the . month in the past looking at more news articles it   appears that mps have been incentivized and asked . for advice in terms of gambling laws as reviews   are coming up so that they can get their way . here's just an example where gbc paid one mp 50   000 pounds on the months leading up to a gambling , review if you think that's bad you need to see   this video here in the end screen about sky bet  was released on the channel earlier in the month   is a real eye opener it's a broader problem that's , happening across multiple platforms right now many   other betting companies are also using tactics . like this where it's extremely easy to click and   deposit in seconds without any identification and , when it comes to withdrawing your money you can   expect to wait weeks fill out lots of different  paperwork and make it extremely awkward these   betting companies are using regulation against . the consumers that is there to protect and in my   opinion no better than those four individuals . that were prosecuted earlier in the week
