Following a meeting with officials from the Football Association on Monday 19th May 2008, ABB has issued the following statement. The Football Association is conducting an investigation into the Accrington Stanley v Bury match which took place on Saturday 3rd May 2008. ABB is assisting the FA with that investigation which involves consideration of the betting patterns on the match. The Gambling Commission is working closely with the FA and the ABB and will be monitoring the outcome of this investigation to consider what, if any, further action is necessary. The Commission expects licensed operators to settle bets in accordance with their published rules. These must set out the circumstances under which an operator will void a bet. ABB advises members to make their own commercial decisions based on their specific circumstances and published rules but advises that payment of winnings on the game may continue to be withheld until the outcome of this investigation is known. In the meantime ABB sees no reason to withhold the return of stakes on bets placed on Bury to customers and recommends that when making such payments, members should ask customers to supply sufficient information to ensure that any subsequent settlement of outstanding bets can properly be made in the future. 22nd May 2008
