free £ 5 bet for all on betfair chase

Only applies if your NOT
basic commission

Nothing happens when you click the 'claim' button

many many years of getting away with false advertising.

barry orr wants you to send photo,s in of you all sat at home in your betfair scarves

Should be had up ,under the advertising standards.

fake news

How do they get away with it?

Going to contact Advertising standards myself no good sat back and wanting someone else to do it on your behalf. I would urge others to do same. I'll post contact details up on here latter.

mention the tote while you are on,never beaten by the sp complete and utter bollox.

went searching for me free bet, quite clearly stated you are not entitled!!!!

cloone even when they advertise how much better they were at sp or other bookmaker prices there is no mention of commission.

I was not entitled either. Another mistruth is Unibet; you're ON! Try collecting on a winning bet; id verification hurdles aplenty.

another thing whoever put that betfair rug over be friendley should be arrested.

Just submitted a complaint on line to ASA, post on here what comes of it but don't hold your breath waiting for a reply.  Just think it is wrong that Betfair can put these adds up, if they don't want to give FREE £5 bets out why put the adds out.

Free munny!

Not had a bet on here for ages, logged in today, saw the free £5 and put it on Bristol De Mai.

Maybe we should have a word with Clive Owen?

"even when they advertise how much better they were at sp or other bookmaker prices there is no mention of commission."

In their defence I think they pretty much always do - this from a "Best Odds on the Exchange" promo on the site today:

"For the purposes of this exercise we have incorporated the commission charge (5% charge on your winnings, other charges may apply to some customers)."

I got mine and backed Lostintranslation.

vips only

VIP = Very Impotent Players only.

thanks for pointing that out to me longbridge

A marketing own goal. The talk is not about the Betfair Chase BUT the non-inclusive free-bet offer to all users/account holders. It was discriminatory!

Got mine ok , depends on what commission/rewards package you have .

Do we know if people on 2% commission were allowed to participate?

sparrow
I am on 2% and was not allowed to participate.

Neither was I.

I don’t get any offers,Bog or specials with Betfair. Get everything from B365 and Paddy and won treble with them against Betfair Sportsbook.

Thanks for the replies, so as I thought only for those on higher commission charges.

Got a reply from advertising standards today I've got to send the a copy of the add from Saturdays Racing Post will also send them a copy of the add that B/Fair placed in the Daily Mirror. I'd like as many of you as possible who was refused the free bet to contact them. This is not about the £5 it's the principle, they  should not be putting adverts in that are misleading. SO COME ON GET THOSE EMAILS SENT.

complaint made .......

good luck.  the ASA have a record of upholding complaints against bookies (suggesting unlike many they are not 'on the payroll'), but they don't amount to much more than a slap on the wrists.  I've  had a complaint upheld by them - doubt the bookie in question lost much sleep about it.

Done.

What happened to the free bet streak?

slybet giving free fiver bets today to  welcome excisting customers to new jumps season,put mine on aye aye charlie 7,s in hennesy

Best offer ive seen is 365 up to £100 in matched (free bets)

Easily the best bookie offer ive seen. Shame I wasted it all on multiples

At least they gave you what they said they were giving. Not saying in adverts its for new and old account holders then telling MOST people that they are not eligible.

365 is the best; cash-out the best too. It's best because it's family run, and led by a woman!

agree with you impossible but i never use the account much but couldn't fault them when i did

im not on 2%, and didnt get the offer, and as cumulus stated where has the £ 5  free bet streak gone, and whats worse where is the cash race thats promised    .

think they might be waiting until the end of safer gambling week to roll out the cash race

Another one from Betfair (Exchange). It's the Fighting 5th. But, I'm not available to it either.

Smallprint in ad just seen on RTV - anyone on basic package -i.e. anyone wiv half a brain - is excluded from offer

U used to like Clive Owen!

I*

im not on basic, and still excluded

I think Betfair is telling us to sling our hook.

It looks like only us Platinum Club members got it?

even if you go through  the process and the free bet shows in your freebet/bonus wallet,why doesnt it work when trying to place the bet,does that mean your not entitled

When I click on promotions is says f uc k off

just seen the advert on tv looked at the terms at the bottom and they were for new and existing customers only, if it excludes anyone that must clearly be stated in the advert wording at the bottom they are in breach of the advertising standards so i will e putting in a complaint to asa and urge others to its the only way they get a wrap on the knuckles but gambling commission should take action but they are snowflakes not worth a carrot

When I done the 2% I first checked what I was losing/gaining

Good luck to those that did not.

i cant see the point .business sense in crediting you account with a free bet then wont let you it ,surely only alienates,anoys your customers,madness

If you keep clicking on the free bet it keeps on giving it to you have to be quick as they might cop on.

know all, I have been in touch with ASA, I've had to send then a copy of the add, The more people who complain the better then we may, just may get something done about this false advertising.
