    after a lovely Spring day yesterday, we’ve had a dry night and woken up an hour early to a bright sunny morning.

    OR are they imposing a limit on deposits?
    I'd imagine only if you set one

    I'm far too degenerate after a couple of pints not to have one haha

    So before say you had a £50 daily deposit limit win or lose once you've deposited that you couldn't deposit again for 24hrs

    Now if you put your £50 in and lose no difference. But say you win a couple hundred. Once that withdrawal is processed you can then re deposit (and let's be honest probably lose) the amount you won. It will also then reset at midnight not 24hours after deposit.

    They've done it on all 3 sites, owned by the same company i believe, so must be certain it'll get them more money off people.

    For instance I rarely use skybet at all because it's gone to the dogs so have a £25 monthly limit. Just checked and I could deposit £825 right now if i wanted too until it resets 1st April as I Withdrew some Cheltenham winnings off their.

    They chat about responsible gambling, their actions tell a different story

    In fact betfair made this change in November I believe the day after safer gambling week finished.

    So much for responsible gambling

    It's like they've realised it's a way to circumvent not being able to reverse withdrawals

    If you win you can just put it all back in when they process your withdrawal

    Going to be very testing isn't it. You'll need to have a proven Stayer.

    ….very bright so far, skies are clear & blue, the forecast suggests no rain today. It’ll take a bit to dry things out but the next few days look ok. I’ll keep you posted.

    ….ha, ha, one lap would be enough these days, certainly taking a ‘long stud’.

    Clear, bright and sunny this morning but yesterday started like this.
