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

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.0 -
