    Betfair seem to be offering free $10 (sorry no pound sign) in addition to $20 quidco so seems a good deal.

    Press Shift and Right Alt and 4 at the same time for a £ on a windows pc without a £ sign. (I have this issue too as I bought my laptop in the US)

    Gutted I only deposited £10, I had no idea bout the 10 - 15 p they take. No wonder it has not tracked. Still I would have bet on the national anyway and I am supposed to be getting a free £10 bet of Bet Fair.
    I've still not had my free £10 bet credited to my account and we are leaving for the pub in just over half an hour! Not happy. I don't gamble any other time of year so if it doesn't get used on the National today it's just a complete waste.
    Anyone had their tenner credited?

    Have you actually wagered £10? They will only credit you the extra £10 once you have bet £10 (and then it's within 24 hours, I believe....). I had to phone them to clarify. I placed my bets last night, but still no £10. But I guess you could just withdraw the free £10 when they've credited it?
  • Just as a side note to anyone who doesn't know about the "Gambling Introductory Loopholes Board" on here.... there is a lot of risk-free (if done correctly) money to be made out of bookmakers so if you fancy having a read about it and giving it a go DO NOT join any bookies today as you will regret taking a shoddy Grand National offer when at other times of the year you could be using that bookie to make heaps more cash! :cool:

    I didn't yesterday, when I signed up. But I rang their customer services to say it hadn't appeared, she then rectified it and it was there within a couple of minutes.

    I had the same problem, then I got a text saying text national plus your horse name for a £5 bet. This deducted the £5 from my phone, which I hadn't expected and only then did I get the text regarding the free £3 bet. I now have to log onto 3 to put more credit on!!
