New Current Account

Can you tell me, if you apply for a new Current Account - (not switching) do the majority of providers perform a Credit Check on you & therefore leave the footmark on your Credit History?
Also does anyone know of any good ones available, which have any Bonuses, maybe cashback or even a 0% or Free Overdraft for so long etc.
I already have Alliance & Leicester & Barclays.
Im looking to open a new Account & do more Match Betting, duplicating some Bookie Accounts, with another Debit Card

All banks will do a credit check on you before opening a current account.
Will this be a problem for you?
Why would you want to duplicate bookie accounts?
If you have already received an incentive from them to join you don't expect it again now do you just because you will have a new debit card?0 -
You duplicate the bookie accounts to gain more Freebies.
Sounds mad but its correct. Some Bookies you can. Skybet £50 one especially. Only logs you by the card used. its possible to have at least 2 account per person. easy money.0 -
Is this in their T&C?
Be careful you may be accused of fraud if found out.0 -

Their T&C's usually state only one promotion per customer. Even if you are using a different card you are still one customer. Be very careful. If they find you out, you run the risk of losing any funds in the bookie accounts in question as they will be within their rights to confiscate winnings and close all of your accounts. If you start telling lies about your identity you will likely get a lifetime ban and they may share your details with other bookmakers so that you can't use them either. It really isn't worth the risk!.0
