    I see if you join Betfair they give you 30euro free bet. I just gave a quick read over it and as far as I see they refund your bet up to 30euro if you lose. Does anyone know if you lose your bet and you withdraw the 30euro they refund you back?

    If you bet any bet up to 30euro, they refund that bet. So if I bet 25euro and my bet loses they refund my account with the 25euro.

    usually you get a free bet regardless of if it wins or loses from what i know. thats what other bookmakers do anyway, its a good while ago since i opened my betfair account so cant remember. sorry my bad, just read it there, if your bets lose then you get refunded your losses. if your setting up an account you i can also give you a refer and earn code where we'll both get free bets ;)

    PM me the code...?

    EDIT: I think you only get the "free bet" if you lose. Sounds more like a refund than a free bet..

    Thanks, would have opened an account straight away if there was a €30 free bet. Not too sure now... will use your code if i decide to.

    Basically you just get another chance if you lose. You can't withdraw the free bet. It is not free money or anything. If you think you have a 'sure thing' or are confident and want to make a big bet then it is worth a shot but don't do a random or even a normal bet there. You'll just end up making a bigger bet than you would have. I've made good money on these bets but only when I was 11% feeling right about a horse (and even then I've lost some of course).

    I didn't bit. But unusual. You might have forgotten to tick the 'don't contact me' type button when signed up

    yeah they rang me when i opened my account trying to get me to deposit money, i just told them id prefer to do it in my own time


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    When they ring they usually give you a free bet or another "Deposit 20 and we'll refund 20 if you lose" sorta thing

    No self promotion please lads.

    If someone wants one it's grand to PM one but you can't offer your own. Cheers.
