Got my £20 back.

I just took advantage of betclic's free £20 bet.... and fortunately won. (Thanks Germany!)
HOWEVER, while looking through their FAQ I spotted this:
So despite clearly advertising it as a "A free £ 20 bet for new users - you can't lose" and do not mention any re-betting requirement in the T&Cs of the promotionWhat conditions govern account withdrawals ?
To withdraw your funds from your BetClic account, simply click on Withdraw at the top of all pages You must have a minimum of £10 to withdraw without a charge. You can send it to your bank or to a credit card.
The easiest way is to transfer it back to the account from where it came in the first place.
To cash in a bonus, you must bet it at least three times in events with more than three possible outcomes, ie not a tennis match. And you must bet on outcoms with odds of 1.20 or better. Bonus payments are valid for two months only.
I expect that if you don't win, you'll run into this clause regarding cashing out of bonuses.
Oh, and don't use moneybookers to fund your account - They charge fees for practically everything. They make paypal look charitable!0 -

I dont understand what this post has to do with 888 promotion, but I think you are getting 2 t and c muddled up
IMO those 2 t and c are seperate and the rebetting of a "bonus" doesnt apply to the no lose bet0 -
I completed this offer after the T&C's changed and got the money paid back into my bank account.0

Got my £20 back into my bank account today.
Although I hate gambling with a passion, I gave this a go as it was NO LOSE and was in the weekly email, and thinking that if martin gives it a heads up it must be OK, but it has seriously put me off trying any future bets / gambling etc that are similar as its just to complicated and I havent a clue.
So keep adding all your gambling chat, odds etc here, as it baffles me something cronic that it puts me off so im sure itll put others off.:TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
:T fortune with those less fortunate :T
:T than themselves - you know who you are!:T0 -
