What the petition asks
It has become a common practice for bookmakers within the UK and those that operate in the UK to restrict or close the account of customers and / or to exempt some customers from participating in advertised promotions or enhanced offers. These widespread practises are unfair and discriminate.
Special Terms should continue to be allowed to apply to enhanced offers and advertised promotions which may limit bet size but changes must be made for all customers to be able to participate , without exclusion or discrimination.
New South Wales, Australia has recognised these inequities and has legislated to introduced the type of regulation we ask for in this petition.
