Smart Betting Club(@SBCinfo):Great to see The Times call out the checks "Assurances from the commission that the checks would be “frictionless” have been wide of the mark with many people wishing to place a bet being asked to provide details such as three months’ worth of payslips, bank statements and tax returns. A large number are unprepared to hand over such sensitive information to a third party, resulting in a steep rise in black-market betting, primarily with bookmakers based abroad."
