I wouldn’t have thought the recipt tells you what you’ve put in as it’d be quite off putting.
I’d imagine it’s just a iou, ladbrokes owes you 400 quid.
You can probably go in with a load of dodgy cash, and then get it put on a card.

If you want to launder that kind of money you would go to a casino, not an arcade. The jackpot limits are only a couple of hundred quid in an arcade.

Casinos are good at AML though, and drug dealers have ready access to cheap labour.

No they aren't. UK online casinos are probably the tightest on it in the world, but it's a big world and big internet.
But for real "actual" cash you can walk into the hippodrome in London without a membership (as you can the others around that part of town) and burn as much as you like.
Try spending twenty minutes watching any of the roulette tables in one of those and it will blow your mind.
Their website says that there is a 1k limit before registration is required.

I'm not going to argue Alex. 19 years in the industry tells me otherwise.

I noticed a few advertisements for them hanging from the back of local buses in the last week or two, and was actually left wondering when before (if ever) I had seen gambling companies advertising on TFL property. Even more poignant regarding localised advertising, imo.
Given that TFL does have an ethical/ responsible policy in place governing what products or services should be allowed to advertise on their network, and that such stuff as artisan cheese has been known to be vetoed because of its high fat content (a massive WTF in itself), I can’t comprehend how the same people are happy to advertise predatory betting firms.
Really good point - it looks like the TfL policy doesn’t cover betting any more than the national codes:
There was a question asked about this last year but not sure if anything’s changed since then.

Once more a "serious police incident" causes TFL to re-route the 35, 45 and 345 to run via Herne Hill instead of Coldharbour Lane. Brixton: Four injured as gunshots fired in south London
I had an inkling something was amiss because I got a phone call about 11.20m am from a Jehovah's Witness who is grooming me - wanted to know if I was alright after this shooting in Coldharbour Lane this morning and would I like to come to her meeting on Wednesday. Making my excuses - I left the house to get the bus to Camberwell Lidl - only to find 8 people waiting at the bus stop (an unusual number for the Shakespeare Rd stop (Eastbound) on a Sunday morning.
I asked one of those fiddling with their TFL app on their phones & they said there was a diversion. Obviously TFL did not care to advise alternative services (there are none).
I decided to walk to Brixton big Tescos instead - and bring my shopping back on the P5 which is not affected.
Apparently Thameslink is affected though Loughborough Junction chitter-chatter
Once upon at time The Sun - amplifying fellow newspapers, and also an NF member of the Prison Officers Association - had a headline alleging Brixton was worse than Precinct 46 The Bonx.
I took them to the Press Council and got a grudging retraction.
In a flight of fancy after this latest shooting stabbing and affray only a few yards form where I live - I decided to look up Precint 46 The Bronx - and wonder of wonders they have their own webpage
They have their statistics available on that page and they have a "Community Council" which meets monthly so community concern can be fed into the local police officers (you know, like the Police Consultative Group for Lambeth, which Lord Scarman had set up and Boris abolished when he was Mayor of London). Those were the days. Unfortunately Brixton is now obviously worse than Precinct 46 The Bronx - as a cursory check of the web page will show.
Really I think our Metropolitan Police service now is reminiscent of that fine old TV series "Shoestring".

I got chatting to a mounted officer near the demonstrations on Saturday as my son wanted to give the horse a stroke, ask its name etc.
I asked her about the police horse display team, as I had enjoyed them at the Lambeth Country Show. She said that she had been a member of the team and loved the Show, but that budget cutbacks mean they no longer have the display team.
I know that display teams aren't necessary for keeping the peace, but it is a part of what the Met did which people appreciated and made them more approachable.
From what I can see, a lot of what the Met now does is reacting to crime rather than preventing it. And that involves reviewing hours upon hours of CCTV.
the Tory govt would no doubt call such things 'woke' and a waste of money, backed by a Daily Mail article saying coppers are having fun instead of solving crime while people are being shot down the road etc.

Perhaps if the police did not over police demos that have been proven to be peaceful then money would be saved. I was on the demo on Saturday and as per usual no trouble.
Didnt stop the cops being out their with their cameras trying to see if any placards were not to their liking.

Everything the police does nowadays is about cctv. If there’s an illegal placard, they will say nothing, then come round your front door next month to arrest you on the strength of the video they’ve taken, having followed you back to the tube on video and found out your Oyster card number.
If you watched The Met, it’s all about going to various CCTV operators, whether it’s private businesses, council cctv, London buses and detectives then sit through thousands of hours of video.
Every police car has recording cameras. Every copper has a camera attached to their vest.
We really are living in an age of policing through surveillance.
As regards the police display team, I wouldn’t be surprised if cutting it is to placate the officers themselves. If there aren’t enough of them, pay is shit, stations are being closed then it won’t take long to ask why the Met is spending money on horses putting on a show.

If you drill down into Hondo xxx BV you get to a controlling entity in Fort Worth Texas, and drilling further you discover these companies are registered in Delaware - a well-known Tax Haven which sleepy Joe seems to have been happy to represent as a US Senator for 50 years (give or take)!

Considerably more Brixton.
Do you even need to gamble any? I was watching an American movie the other week and they were laundering their stolen cash by exchanging it for chips, hanging around for 15 minutes, then swapping the chips for a cheque.

shit. they've been doing that for months now. quite a vendetta going on. Whatever happened there is that really the worst thing going on in Brixton for them to be campaigning about?

You probably don't, but casinos have hundreds of cameras in them.
If you walked in and exchanged cash for chips and then hung around before changing them out you'd get caught.
I see a lot of this with online casinos. Deposit with crypto, play the minimum amount to allow you to withdraw and then withdraw into a currency account. Those accounts are banned and the money can be withheld.

Bridge repair and replacement is obviously a big job and very costly but it does rather speak to the dysfunction of Westminster, London and local government that this is simply too hard.
Although I guess there's something to be said for the argument that this isn't just a contemporary problem, that the Conservatives getting rid of the GLC and assigning bridges to councils probably is the real issue as London boroughs seemingly don't have the capacity to replace such bridges.
I think it’s says more about wanting a 130 year old bridge to deal with the amount & weight of traffic we have today. People seem to have managed for the last 5 years - might as well keep it shut.

One suspects that "the real issue", whether for the residents of Clapham yesterday afternoon or listeners to LBC this morning, is that the Conservative Party 2024 London Mayoral Candidate is, so far, doing an excellent impersonation of a middle-aged bigot with little or no grasp of the issues relating to the office for which she is running and very little clue about very much at all, other than the possibility that some electors may support her campaign because her ethnicity differs from that of the incumbent.
