Is it a crime for bookmakers to treat big punters to days out? Give them rebates? https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simon-nott-vip/
Bookmakers are making huge efforts to protect the vulnerable.

One of the worst for restrictions to pennies!!!
I have no issues with bookies schmoozing money off wealthy gullibles. I sometimes wish I knew how to do it.
The rest of the item is, as everyone appears to say, shite.
It seems long gone are the days when bookies genuinely did make an effort to do something worthwhile for loyal customers.
My first experience of a hospitality day was about 30 years ago. Ladbrokes were the sponsors of the Haydock Sprint Cup and I was an account holder. I got a letter one day offering:
Car parking ticket (not required)
Lounge in the Makerfield Stand
Bucks Fizz reception
Timeform card
Racing Post
Guest Speaker (Willie Carson, as it turned out, so it really should have said 'Guest Shite-talking Chalk-eating Cackler")
Four course lunch with unlimited wine (yes, seriously)
Afternoon tea
Access to betting facilities
£18 per person.
Seriously.
£18 per person. The brother and I went.
It was the best day I ever had at the racing and I can't remember if I ended up in front on the betting.
The next year it was £28. Still great value. We took our wives. Another great day. They got to ogle Cash Asmussen in the winner's enclosure and still talk about it.
The next year it was £38. Starting to look pricey but the four of us went again and had a good day out.
The next year it was £58 and we said fvck it.
Pens are still free☺
