Request a stamped statement from your bank - most UK banks will provide this either in branch or mailed to you. Usually takes few days. In the meantime, don't touch that balance.As alternative some banks have an option in online banking to generate statements with official formatting and digital...
@chapman i actually agree system is broken but dealers didnt create it taking it out on them by not tipping in us casinos just hurts wrong people. casino corporations arent going to change wage structure unless forced by regulation. tipping in us is basically mandatory cost of playing live games...
bill_collins is right about wages. dealers do make proper hourly but tips still represent significant portion of total income. cultural difference here is real though. in us tipping dealers is just expected part of playing live games. not saying systems perfect but thats how it works. in...
we'll see how this develops. diversify across multiple platforms if you can. try toprotect yourself with deposit limits just keep records of everything and dont put all money one place...

@M.Bato The technical arms race favors the regulators long-term. They have more resources and legal authority.
@Timmy Moving jurisdictions isn't practical for most people. Better to adapt strategies to work within regulated frameworks.
The edge still exists - just requires different approaches...
Writing's been on the wall since DOJ started targeting payment processors more aggressively. Offshore books calculate that US market isn't worth the legal risk anymore.
Regulated books work fine for most betting but their prop limits are designed for recreational players. Professional bettors...
