Customer Funds Protection

  • We are required by our licence to inform customers about what happens to customer funds which we hold, and the extent to which these funds are protected in the event of insolvency. The Gambling Commission provides further information on our licence conditions detailing what we need to tell customers about their funds.
  • Customer funds are held in a bank account within the parent charity, East Anglian Air Ambulance, which is separate from the trading subsidiary. The Trustees of the charity have deemed this bank account as ring-fenced and the funds are therefore not included in the working capital of the charity.
  • This means that steps have been taken to protect customer funds but there is no absolute guarantee that all funds would be repaid in the event of insolvency. This meets the Gambling Commission's requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level: medium protection.
  • For more information, please see the customer funds insolvency ratings system on the Gambling Commission’s website.

Lost, Delayed or Incomplete Entries

  • We are not responsible for:
  • Entries lost, delayed, damaged or misdirected in the post.
