Sounds ominous.

Bet365 are the best bookies I've dealt with online, no issues whatsoever and have some pretty good offers as well as more in-play betting / streaming than every other bookie. Although, it pays to have accounts with every bookie For what it's worth I use laser with Bet365 as well, you have to do some 'know your customer' bull**** to withdraw (although they let you deposit...) but apart from that they're very good. Not a fan of the site though.

No such thing as the best bookies. Open an account with any company you can find.

Bet 365 are excellent, regularily offer best odds, and often in big a field pay on the first 5when the rest go quarter odds 1-2-3-4

I had a sour experience on live help the other week. The girl was being a total smart arse with me, really put me off.

Find them good and the €200 free bets for new customers is a good offer esp leading up to cheltenham..but be sure to read t&c of free bet offer.

Just created an account with them today and lodged €5. A screen popped up saying they're going to call the phone number I gave them.

Ladbrokes never did that. For some reason it gives me piece of mind that Bet365 verify accounts.

As long as you lose with them and don't bet on value you'll be able to bet with them for a long time. Although I'm part of the £3.65 club. As are so many others.

Did it take long to get restricted with them?

A couple of months, once you start betting on the Asian handicaps and other markets your stakes get lower and lower, my stakes are generally in 3 figures and they don't like my kind there.

This 100% bonus they are offering for new customers.... is it as simple as it sounds, ie sign up, deposit 50e and they give you 50e to bet ?? Or are there all types of stipulations involved ??

You have to bet with the 100% bonus three times before you can withdraw your winnings. You can't bet on odds of less than 1/2 I think.

As for the 100% bonus, I think it needs to be activated first through your account settings which is easily done. Once you deposit your money, you'll have the 100% bonus straight away.

They also have an offer through mobiles. You can deposit €1 to €50 and they'll match it as well.

This means that if you deposit €100 to get €100 free, you need to have staked €600 in the first 90 days to be able to withdraw the bonus. I signed up in Feb and I'm feeling a bit pressured to bet on things that I've no real knowledge of, so that I meet the staking requirements by the deadline.

Just beware of this as you may find yourself in a similar position. I think I went too high when I went with my first deposit, so pick your first deposit wisely.

Sound lads thanks. I reckon a 50e deposit is about enough.
