    Yes, I am.

    Theres another thread about this on the gambling loopholes board, and theyre all getting it too. Must be a glitch :(

    I just did the live chat thing on stan james,as my free bets still havent turned up (despite me rigning them yesterday and them saying they would be credited within 24 hours)...this is the transcript of the chat:

    [operator] Hello, Welcome to Stan James Live Support, how may I help you?
    [me] Hi, I have played the FHM world cup game for the past 3 days and got all 3 answers correct - however I havent recieved my £5 free bet for each correct answer (as the comp terms and conditions state I should have). I did phone your halpline yesterday and they said bets would be credited by the end of yesterday but they werent?
    [me] so just wondered whats happening with them.
    [operator]
    The Free £5 offer for answering the quiz question on https://www.fhm.com will be credited within 24hrs from now, this will not include any entries entered retrospectively

    [me] what do you mean by retrospectively?
    [operator entries made for previous days
    [me] but I won 3 bets from tuesday, weds and yesterday by answering on those specific days...so will I get those or wont they be backdated?
    [operator] yes, they are all going to be looked at today
    [me] and I was also told that they would have been credited within 24 hours yesterday and they werent...
    [operator] yes, we have more entries than we imagined we would get
    [operator] and its particularly busy with being ascot etc
    [me] Ok, but obviously with a promo like that you will get a lot of entries. I hope the bets will be credited by monday at the latest...I get the feeling they never will be but thank you anyway.
    [operator] there is a 10 GBP free bet on your account now
    [me] thank you
    [Darren] youre welcome

    Woo! I wasnt expecting him to credit me there and then, but I think cos I pushed it a bit he wanted to get rid of me :rotfl:

    So...if your bets dont turn up, might be worth either phoning and saying the same as me, or going on live chat.

    Dont mention my post here though or they might cancel my free bets :p
