    I put my bet in yesterday morning and lost. I sent an email last night enquiring about the refund, I don't have a reply yet but I just checked in my account and the £20 has been added. I just withdrew it and am now waiting for it to reach my account. There were no problems withdrawing it once it had been credited.

    Same with me minus the email.

    I am wondering how long does it take once you have cashed out - will it show in your debit card account?

    Hi, Here is the official response from the 888Sport press office ...


    -Everybody will get the terms and conditions that were available at the time that they joined

    -The offer was in place for the first set of games at the World Cup but due to its popularity a decision was made to extend the offer for the duration of the whole tournament, with updated terms and conditions (which went live at 10am today)

    -The offer was previously available for the first thousand people to join each day, under the new terms and conditions it is available at all times.

    What do you mean working on your stake?

    You will have got that back the same time your bet was settled

    Can't believe there are that many interested MSE members logging in for a post-midnight flutter, so wonder what time the clock ticks over ? Or maybe, from Sammy's post above (12:04am) that IS indeed the case ?

    I got the free bet on Tuesday I just didn't put it on straight away.
