Sounds like plain and simple fraud to me.

You sign up, with personal and banking details, to a gambling website that is out in the middle of a territory that quite often has very lax legal controls and no government controls to make sure it stays within the law. Additionally the systems, like all gambling establishments, are always tiited in the favour of the owner and most likely the websites "can see your cards", while your playing!

Maybe I'm not one of the gullible ones, just for a change, who can only see the pound signs?

You never know who can steal you stuff.
