What are these lot like as i have a free £100 deposit bonus available to me, do they pay out without me having to send in my passport, birth certificate, DNA, used bog roll etc...
Report Swardean February 25, 2013 7:49 PM GMT
Any deposit bonus you will need to play your deposit and bonus through 5 times.

Cant see any sign of a freebet... where should I be looking?
Report Tucho February 25, 2013 7:59 PM GMT
bellfunk if you use moneybookers they pay out quickly, no i.d. details needed

not sure about credit/debit cards, it's always a chance you take when playing a non-uk bookie

This offer was in this months publication of Racing Ahead magazine. I just created my account and I got the £10 within 5 mins of going through the process.

You do have to register an account but you dont have to deposit funds - get every member of your family to open an account ???

Sorry to be negative but you will be moaning when you realise you cant withdraw any of your winnings because you have to srake 100x of your deposit..not worth doin.

IS it the same with the £10 free bet?

Open an account with RaceBets and they'll double the amount of your first deposit up to a maximum of €100. You will need to bet the amount of the bonus five times before it can be withdrawn. Please note this bonus offer is not available to anyone registering from Latvia. See their site for full t&c's.

if you plan to bet a ton at the festival though you might aswell go for it and have a crack at the ton bonus. (doubling up would be your best bet I would have thought so you'd need to win 3 in a row to claim it is that right?

Not sure I done a similar thing on will hill a few yeears bk deposited 50  got a free 50..then got my account up to around 300 tried with drawing and got declined coz I hadnt staked so many times the bonus ended up losing it all and deposting more...evil bonus toget caught up in from my experience anyway.
Report Swardean February 26, 2013 6:02 PM GMT
I think the best strategy would be to place all the money and bonus on an initial selection you really fancied.  So for example, if you deposit £100 and get £100 free.  Balance of £200.  Assume you fancy a horse at 6/4.  If it wins you have £500 for your £100 (equiv 4/1 instead of 6/4).   If it loses you have only done a ton and you would have lost the same with any other bookie.

So say your horse wins, you will need to play through 5x your bonus (=£500).  You have already played through £200 with your first bet, so just £300 needs to be staked to withdraw and you have a health balance of £500.  Best tactic is to place 6 x Even money horses.   If you are lucky you will land 50% or more and you will have over your £500+.  If you are very unlucky and you have 6 Even money losers on the spin your bank will be down to £200.  At this point you can withdraw.

Obviously stakes can be amended downwards to suit your pocket.

Good luck to them. They have better offers for us than the vast majority of so called UK bookies.
Report Pull Hard February 26, 2013 7:01 PM GMT
All the usual restrictions will quickly apply if you have a winning account.  Won €1200 off them within 3 weeks of opening the account. The max bet i can now have on their fixed odds markets is €1!

My experience is they are much worse than uk bookmakers for exclusion. I won money (a few hundred) on a camelot guineas/derby double and they have limited my bets to essentially nothing ever since. So basically cant use them anymore.
Report hicksterthetrickster February 26, 2013 7:17 PM GMT
Alleged its 5x your bonus. That doesn't seem to bad if there is an event you intend to have lots of bets on like cheltenham.
If your free bet wins no problem just keep betting to your normal stake. If you win great. If you don't you are better off than if you had lost with your own money
Report tomdeane February 26, 2013 7:29 PM GMT
Anyone know how the Champion Hurdle offer works (money back if yours loses to Hurricane Fly)?

Am wondering whether this applies to Each Way (win part only) should you back something that comes second to the Fly...
Report WWP February 26, 2013 8:35 PM GMT
Opened account with them a few weeks ago and bet most of my money on My Tent or Yours in Newbury race at 4/1- he was 7.0 here at the off. Anyway he won and I had to bet another monkey before I could withdraw though withdrawal did go smoothly-in my account in 2 days and no need to include DNA sample or bog roll!
