    Does your £20 get refunded automatically or do you have to email/ring someone for them to do it?

    You HAVE got your stake back: 11/8 produces winnings of 27.50 ((20*11)/8) and your stake back of 20.

    Yes I'm a clown I didn't even think to be honest just presumed I should have gotten more coz the decimal odds were up and looked better. Sorry and cheers

    Yes it should get refunded within 3 days, if not then contact CS. A lot of people have been auto refunded quickly but some have had to ask.

    Just multiply the decimal odds by the amount to bet, so if odds are 4.20 and the bet is £10, it's 10 x 4.20 = total return (includes stake) of £42.00.

    The banner is there but it's saying they've reached the cap for freebets today. Looks to me like they have pulled the promo now.

    Maybe not - I just googled and found the promo on this page, with the offer still working if you go through there?

    Which bet is that?
  • Looks like the 888 £20 free bet offer is back on. It says valid until 11/07/10 on their website.
