Quick and Easy Open New Bank Account for Matched Betting?

BatchedMetting

Good morning.

I want to give matched betting a try and have read its a good idea to open a new bank account to keep things separate.

Can anyone recommend a quick and easy bank account I can open online?

I recently opened an account with COOP and that was very easy. My main accounts are with Natwest.

Any tips? I don't need any bonuses or incentives as it won't be used for much.

Thanks.

I've always found the TSB Cash account to be a very easy one to sign up for.

Importantly you want an account that doesn't flag up for a fraud check every time you try to deposit to a bookies site.

I found Halifax and Lloyds to be very tolerant of betting deposits, Barclays and Yorkshire bank didn't like them at all and I had frequent calls from the fraud team

Thanks. We're they OK with betting deposits?

I've been using Barclays to place deposits into my skybet account for about five years now, never had a problem.

Are you recreational betting or matched betting? Advanced matched betting can involve 4 figure deposits for a 2-3% return where as most recreational gamblers would be making relatively small deposits

Definitely recreational, £50 max.
