I would say it was sales, and they're very persistent.

Hi sorry should have checked they are on the list of companies that generate lots of spams

Just tell them you don't do it because it is classed as gambling

And if they continue to pester you, you will report them to the Gambling commission for harrasment and constant begging in an attempt to get you to gamble



What does a compliance visit involve?

Compliance activity is now based upon risk and the risk that each licensed activity poses to the Gambling Commission’s licensing objectives.
The three licensing objectives are:

• keeping crime out of gambling
• ensuring gambling is conducted fairly and openly
• protecting children and vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited by gambling.

Thanks for posting that, Daza: good to know what to say to them.

I'm always tempted by gambling, and I'm sure I'd find it somewhat addictive, so always find the gambling sites that call both tempting and annoying at the same time :rotfl:

They got my number from somewhere too, rang me about 8 times over 2 days, the first time I missed the call so googled the number and found out it was them. I ignored all the other calls but eventually answered just to tell them to go away and I wasn't interested. The fella said "oh right, ok maybe I'll give you a call sometime in the future then" so I was hoping they'd stop for a few months at least but oh no, the next day, they were back on to me again!!! I had the number saved in my phone as Postcode Lottery Don't Answer so I know not to answer it but it's still bloody annoying. Touch wood they seem to have tapered off now though.

just tell them you are registered with the telephone preference service (if you are) & that you want your number removed from heir contact list - I said this & only ever had that one call

Hi thanks for all your tips, I am registered with the telephone preference services but they rang me on my mobile not the house phone, not sure about mobiles ? x
