    Signed up to this, lost my £20 bet and had an email confirming that my £20 had been refunded into my account. Just gone through the withdrawal process without any issues. Should be back in my bank account by Monday.

    I just put £20 down for Switzerland to beat Spain. I seriously doubt they can win, but at least it will make the game more entertaining.

    For anyone who can't see the banner and use Firefox, make sure you turn Adblock off if you have it (or turn it off for that website) because it's easy to forget.

    Good luck everyone who is placing a bet!


    I bet on this as well, still waiting for the pay out although i have had the £20 back, dont know where the other £240 is :(

    Correction just has the £240 paid across on to my card, this was a good deal and has given me a profit and I have never gambled before and wont be doing it again. Thanks 888sport.

    This was a great deal for those that got the original t and c.
    I also think that it shouldnt have been promoted in the newsletter as

    A. there are far to many people who dont have the first idea off odds and different bets etc

    B. as soon as it went in the newsletter it was bount to have a negative effect on the offer, bookies are not charities

    I emailed them (after spending over 10 minutes on hold on the phone) just to double check that I did not have an old dormant account with them because although I did not remember having one my username had been taken.
    They replied today, completely ignoring my original question, but basically saying that I would only be eligible for the promotion if I had opened my account prior to 15.00 GMT on the 16th June.
    I opened my account on the 17th via the banner on their site so presumably they are reneging on the offer full stop.

    woohoo, I made a £25 bet with another company (this one was no-risk, and there's a chance of quidco) and gained £128.25 profit tonight :) transferred it to my bank already and will never touch gambling sites again :)

    Oh man.. trust my luck. :(

    I done the £20 bet on Thursday evening with 14/1 odds, which I lost tonight.

    Apparently the t&c changed Thursday morning, so am I not gonna get my £20 back?

    My account is showing as £0.00. According to the update, if I get it back I have to bet it on a 5/1?

    This blows. I hate wasting money, let alone gambling. :(

    Another example of why Martin should never have put this in the newsletter.
