Punting Forum

Since when did UKPunting.com start charging for membership?

I was going to rejoin to post some recent punting reviews but have just seen the following during registration:

Account activation is required after registration and is subject to an annual £36 (£132 for 4 years) fee payable by Bitcoin (BTC) or £30 (£110 for 4 years) by Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

I hope this PuntingForum stays a free punting forum.

Same happened to me. I lost my old account and tried to join but not paying so ended up here.

I know the original site owner, but it changed hands a bit back and I haven't used since.

I won't be paying to rejoin.

So glad I found this forum.

I have been looking for new punting forums, one that you don't have to pay to post.

With new punts on the horizon, I shall start posting my punting life on here.

Not only do you have to pay but most off-putting for me is that you have to pay with bitcoins thus create a bitcoin account. Big NO from me

Would you not prefer the anonymity of using crypto?

I guess I'm too old for these new ways of paying but I did try to open a bitcoin account and there was nothing anonymous in the process, I felt like I was going deep into the dark web. I'm just too old
