So to give a quick follow up to yesterdays tweet. Given my position with regard to not providing further documentation beyond the account P/L the decision has been made to close the Master account. BTW all documentation was provided within the last 12 months and every year since the account has been a Master.
There is an interesting twist to the story though. I was hoping that it would be simple enough to transfer the balance to the original account. No, we cannot do internal transfers between accounts. Despite one of the sub accounts essentially being the same name as the very original BF account I would have opened in 2001.
So if I want to use a usual Betfair account I now have to redeposit funds into the account triggering deposit checks. To redeposit those funds I have to provide a source of wealth check. (i.e. where those funds have come from). I am not allowed to use the other Betfair account for that purpose.
I have no idea what the limits imposed on the account will be and just not sure I am that bothered at this stage. Just a waste of everyone's time.
I did suggest that the inability to make an internal transfer in this situation is a Betfair led initiative and that is was honestly absurd. He said this is the one thing I agree with you on. Lol. I do feel sorry for some of these customer service representatives being put in these situations. The arrogance and lack of contrition usually offsets that pretty quickly though.
I can only envisage a limited number of scenarios now where I will make the effort to fund and use the account with the various documentation. The reality is that I won't be betting any less over the coming year. It's simply that it won't be going through sites like Betfair.

@TheAIWorld22 There is only one thing you need to do for your retirement. The key is to invest in the @Vanguard_Group Global All Cap Fund. As long as the world keeps spinning this fund will keep producing! #Investing
@tedkravitz wrong about @McLarenF1 ! I remember plenty of times last year they would bring something out for FP1 to test it and revert back to the old wing and use the upgrade at the next race once they checked the data! #F1#StandardPractice
FS1 just put out the official numbers for SVG's remarkable drive through the field:
Emerged in 26th place
Was 29.2 seconds back
Retook the lead in only 18 laps
Won by 7.3 seconds
@Prynicalsick@JennaFryer The reason why manufactures are no longer holding the sport by the "curlies" is because FOM, teams & OEMs are working together. Audi & eventually GM (Hopefully) joined because of this. The FIA are still playing a game of divide and conquer, & I am not sure it is viable! #F1
