Just a warning to people I placed a winning 1st TD scorer bet last night with these that scored a second and as such was entitled to Double the Odds under their NFL special only to be informed today AFTER the event that I no longer qualified for such bonus.
Considering I have received similar bonuses in the last fortnight & wasn't informed that I wasn't eligible for such offers to suddenly tell you after the event is incredibly poor form imo.

I know Dirk after spending half an hour on the chat to them and basically told that they can revoke any offers when it suits them and its just tough luck.
Im a punter a long time & know the game but that's as poor as ive seen.

Shocking stuff. Open a Betfred account I went 2from 2 on these bets with a 2nd td and  they paid the bonus both times

I have also had offers withdrawn by them, but they sent me an email saying what I was disqualified from receiving them AND THE EFFECTIVE DATE it would happen from. If they didn't notify you then you have a chance (a small one mind - these thieves do what they like). I still have the email - it makes me laugh. Maximum bet between 0.01p and 0.37p, haven't bet with them for ages (their decision really, not mine)

I think it`s a disgrace too and that they should have informed you by email that the offer was no longer available to you, even although it`s in the Terms & Conditions listed with the offer:

CONDITIONS

Applies to singles placed before kick-off only. Bets placed in-running to do not apply.
Applies to 1st touchdown scorer market only.
Applies to win part of each-way touchdown scorer bets only.

Paddy Power American Football rules apply.
Does not apply to bets placed in shops.
Paddy Power reserves the right, at its discretion, to exclude certain customers from this promotion.

Bunch of *****

Yeah Texas only prob is Betfred shorten the odds so much makes the special pointless,i.e they are 11/2 Frank Gore v 8/1 in places.
That bottom line mightmac seems to be their response.Basically they can **** the punter over if they want & you have no comeback.

Yes, I agree mate, but you haven`t got a chance. That bottom line saves their bacon. Close your account and don`t bet with them again.

Had 4 accounts restricted by them over the past few years.
Used one for smaller interest bets, knew I'd still pick up a few grand off them even with e80 win limit on it.
Up a couple of grand and sent me the no best odds guarantees or bonus specials e-mail.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WIN. END OF STORY.

Doesn't sound much like sport does it?

I got paid out with that double odds bet this morning.
They are wrong not to inform you in advance. 

PP are the only company who have ever diddled me with a 'Palpable Error' on NFL.  It was for a special bet which they had made up, I had £100 on at 10/11 and couldn't believe it when they simply cancelled the bet which had been placed hours before the start and no e-mail until after the result.

Should be fun if ever this irish company expand into the states, Mr Power will be in court every week.

They really should have sent you an email to tell you that you were excluded.

I'd definitely be having another go at them on this to see if you can get a result although ultimately we all know every bookie in history will shaft you up the ass eventually.

Disgraceful that they didn't send you an email telling you about it

I'm barred from any specials with Ladbrokes but at least they had the decency to email me about it

Got a call off a nice chap who informed me that due to a technical glitch I had been getting bonuses/offers that my account should have been excluded from.
He said they were prepared to pay me the bonus as a once off with was fair enough imo.

I have had the same email from ladbrokes around best odds guaranteed and limits. Just a hazard of winning. You can always find new accounts Happy, it's a war between the winning punters and the bookies and you have to realise they will do everything in their power to restrict the perceived winners.

Good news Punkha, glad you got paid.  Did they give you a specific reason why you are barred from offers?

Cheers guys.No they just said that the end of offers came into effect on my account in October but as I had still been receiving them they would honour this one.
Didn't bother asking why would surely have just been the standard trading decision response & was just happy enough to be paid tbh.
