Summary

To enable payments to be processed your Ascot account and bank cards must be registered to the same address.  Please ensure this is the case as the banks are now rejecting payments based on different addresses being used.  This is a bank requirement and we cannot process the payment if this is the case.

If you are having issues with logging on, please contact me direct as soon as possible so that our ticketing team can explore what the problem is and find a solution to it.

If you have any queries or enquiries please do not hesitate to contact me.
