I watched it happen to my partner - to the tune of >$100,000 (U.S.) before his connections managed to get it returned 2 days later.
I have a teammate who I was surprised to learn does not play in London, and completely steers clear of it because of these rules of confiscation. I’m not really sure how that’s legal, and I wasn’t aware that that was a problem for professional card counters in London.

How serious of an issue is it? Should card counters just completely not play anywhere in London because of the fear of confiscation?
