    I used to use Halifax for Matched Betting & I did a lot of it for years. Did not get blocked once. Used Santander once & account was blocked immediately.

    I opened a Loot account and had 3 loads of sharb winnings paid into it via the debit card. They shut my account for that, no questions asked.
