Today sees the official launch of the Smart Betting Club’s Better Betting Campaign, which is calling for action on 3 major issues many punters currently face:
1. The increased restriction and closure of betting accounts;
2. The widespread use of unauthorised tracking software;
3. The steady increase in bet disputes by bookmakers acting without proper regulation.
The Better Betting Campaign has been setup to expose the depth of these issues and provide tangible practical advice on what you can do to demand action and fight back against unfair bookmaking.

Why We Have Launched This Campaign
We have set-up this campaign in response to the huge increase in problems that punters are suffering at the hands of bookmakers.
Their refusal to play fair and its impact on some sports such as Horse Racing has reached critical levels and it’s time for action.
The Better Betting Campaign has been developed as a central resource to drive awareness of the issue, educate punters as to how they can take action and provide practical advice on how they can get their bets on.
As one of the few bookmaker-independent outlets, this also enables us to speak the truth about the betting industry and to represent the people that matter most to us – you the punter.
