There are a lot of people who ask is arbitrage betting legal? We delve into this topic in the following post and share when it is and when it isn't.
Why do Bookmakers Restrict members?

It’s very simple. Accounts get flagged which are beating the bookmakers over a long period.
When I say beating, I don’t mean that you’ve turned £1 into £500 over 10 bets.
You’re taking the best odds on their site, leaving them with a very small margin. You’re essentially costing them, long term, to have you as a customer.
When Matched Betting, the main reason for your account getting flagged, is that you’re only doing the offers.
You only sign in when they’re running a free bet offer. You deposit the maximum they’ll allow for the offer, then you withdraw once the offer is completed.
From their side, the offer is wasted on your custom. They wanted you to deposit more, come and take a look at the slot machines, maybe have a game of Poker.
Bookmakers actually lose a fair bit of money from promotions that they run, although a lot of this money is recovered from their loyal fanbase, who bet weekend after weekend.
If they can cut their losses further, by getting rid of the people which aren’t interested in placing regular bets, they will.
Another reason why you can get restricted is the fact that you’re betting patterns don’t make sense.
This is the one thing I had a disagreement with Profit Accumulator about, when their own tutorials mentioned to place a qualifier with low odds, then use the free bet at maximum odds (to make a higher profit).
I don’t think this is good practice, as the bookmakers will wise up to this trick when a site is telling 50,000 of it’s members to do the same thing.
Arbing is also going to bring up red flags immediately. Like I mentioned earlier about getting consistent close matches, imagine if you were actually beating the bookies software, getting better odds than they should be offering.
The benefits of this; it can bring you a profit, guaranteed, without even requiring an offer.
The problems with Arbing? If you survive anymore than 3-5 decent sized bets, I’ll honestly be shocked.
My ultimate horror story I saw on the forums was an unfortunate individual sharing his Mug Betting spreadsheet with us. I thought you know what, he’s switched on with his mug betting.
It weren’t until another user actually looked at the transactions, advising him that he was infact arbing Bet365, a matched betting favourite.
