I just got this dreaded email (below) from Betfair!
I thought that by winning a few quid over a year or so would not cause me to be eligible, but clearly they think that i have won far too much money!
Effectively I now am paying 20% not 5% commission on winnings. Whilst I like to do what i can to help local charities and the poor and needy, having paid out £1700 in commission to Betfair last year, i do not consider these people a special case! How they can justify these charges after yet another outage today is beyond me.
Anyone with a bright idea as to how to minimise these absurd charges welcome!
We are writing to inform you that last week, for the first time, you would have been required to pay Premium Charges. However, in line with our policy for customers that incur the charge for the first time, last week's Premium Charges have been waived. The charges should appear on your account statement as both a 'Debit' and a 'Credit' of exactly the same amount.
Please be aware that in future, if your betting continues to be as successful as it has been, you may be required to pay Premium Charges.
Full details of the charge can be found in the 'Betfair Charges' section of 'About Us'. Any questions that you may have in relation to the charge should be directed to [email protected] .
