    The £27.50 on football pools you can only use on Classic Pools. But as YB said im not sure if you can use it if you dont have money in the account.

    I still have £10 in my account the £27.50 and £15 more free bets i got for wagering £5.

    Ive just post a question on there and got back a stupid cocky answer so i put a cocky reply back. Sometimes forums really anoy me!

    Maria if you have £10 cash and then they have given you an extra £15 cash? If so follow the top trumps game buy wagering the whole £25 on a 1 x card to get the £25 back then you can withdraw it.

    The extra £27.50 bonus doesn;t seem to be worth anything I don't think

    I only joined it today through quidco for get the £15 cashback but then i read if you wager £5 then you will get £15 free bets. But this £15 has gone into tokens not my balance.

    I dont know what the trumps game is? how do i play it? Sorry....:o

    Yes you guys were right the £27.50 is rubbish you can only use it like limiss said to pay for half and you pay the other half.

    They must have changed the rules now as you can only use the £15 free bets on the pools and footy 1. :( I dont know why i played through the £5 to get the free bet now! Doh!
