  • The view of the BG's (and most users) in the past has been that this is not a good idea because it would make searching for things more difficult... although most people seem not to bother using the search tool anyway!

    But Artofdookie does have a point, its true that 5000 UK sign-ups over 24hours will make any bookie wonder whats going on - whether or not they find the referring source

    Exactly...and then all they have to do is take a wild guess that its because the offer has found its way onto mse.

    I'm willing to bet that they hardly had any members from the Uk prior to this, perhaps a few. I mean who on earth thats a mug punter from the UK would sign up to tipico for fun?? fancying a fiver on their local team or a £1 accumulator. They would choose an english or irish bookie every single time.

    The bigger problem was 5000 UK users signing up to a German book

    Where did you get that information from?
