They come out from time to time but think its invite only...mad if you dont take it up...free money

I got an email recently that gave me a free $50 bet no strings attached, was pretty chuffed.

Silicone this email is sent after you have shown interest in a Jockey Challenge market with them

Lol

Funny but unfortunately true mate, save your cash for carlso's soccer coming soon

Time to produce Carlso. For too long you have been singing your own praises about your soccer $$$ making scheme. Put up or shut up DC!

Dodgey I said round 10 of soccer onwards all the form is out then, no more new players, less variables.

You all had your go at me for my opinion but I was 100% spot on THERE YOU WOULD NOT BE A JC ON EVERY MEETING IF THE BOOKIES WERE LOSING MONEY.

Dodgey you are learning this the hard way, great value in 150% markets doesn't pay the bills.

Got the same, including a phone call.
Did all the right things, including ringing back to ensure everything was hunky dory. Deposited the funds, got the aok & it would all be clear by the morning, only to again (twice this year) be dismayed that nothing had gone through.
Stick with Betfair & IAS from now on, dont need the bullsh!t.

Ive been betting with the corporate bookies for years
For some strange reason I have never get emails or calls for reloads
I wonder why ....

I haven't touched my sportsbet account in over a year. I just figured it was random...

Sp0rtsbet are full of sh!t. Few years ago they ran me, Got offered a credit account and a few free bets.
Fast Forward 12 months. I'm NOT offered fixed prices on any Gallop meetings (Metro's include) And No betting on Trots or Dogs (which they only offer home tote!)
They'll offer the world until you start winning regularly!!!!!!! Jokebet.

Worst to come is pretty sure they (sportsbet and Paddypower) soon take over IASbet. Who have always been 1 of the best to bet with. And don't know of anyone who has been barred.

90% of European bookies are like that, have a win, even only a few hundred and they put up the white flag....I fear that is what is going to happen here...

$portsbet are absolute rubbish. Never before have i seen such an incompetent company. Right from customer service to account keeping. I had some disgusting dealings with them and told all my mates not to bother with them. By far the worst betting company going around. I cracked the $hits with them one day coz they suspended my account without reason and missed out on a whole days racing because of it. There was evidence of triple figure bets that i tried to place, yet they tried to compensate me with 2x$20 free bets. I said get stuffed and closed my account. I then asked to re-open it so i could try and get them back by taking them to the cleaners but they declined my request to re-open the account, and never gave me a reason why. Absolutely disgraceful company.

I had something similar happen to me not long back. Closed the account, never heard from them again. Now deal with Betfair and Sportingbet who are great.

Dont do that, they are offering you free money, even if you dont like them here is an opportunity to make free $$$$

If you want PM me and we could come to an arrangement, Ill do it all and split 50/50

Can you drop $500 in, withdraw it straight away and still get a $250 free bet?
