QUIDCO £60 cash back for a £35 spent at prestige casino

Kaaaaarl

I did it with Euro Grand without reading the T&C's.

I deposited £35, played it, won £90 and tried to withdraw. Was denied so got in touch with their online helper thing and they said I have to wager £1000 before I could withdraw!! :eek:

Continued to play while nagging the helper how much more money I have to spend before I could withdraw.

In the end I come off with £450 and the £55 cashback from Quidco.

The catch is when the cashback doesn't track which is what happened with another cashback site (cbk) with William Hill.

My £55 tracked no problem.

Edited my original message. It tracked no prob in March 2009, but is still outstanding, ie not paid out.

I have never used a gambling site, so if anyone give me some guideline where it is better to open the account and to try this trick. Of course without catches with T&C regarding withdrawal.

done and dusted put 35 quid on red and won but it will only let me withdraw the 35 quid so I will leave it there until the cashback gets paid then take out the 35 quid win win for me

The numerous World Cup no-lose bets from a few months ago were genuine risk-free gambles.

However this deal relies upon the cashback being paid for you to make a guaranteed profit.
As there is no legal obligation upon the Casino to pay-out the cashback, this is clearly not a risk-free gamble.

I would strongly discourage people from taking advantage of this 'offer'.

:edit:

Incidentally, i'm still waiting on £40 cashback from Betfair (for signing up to take advantage of their no-lose World Cup offer).
It tracked & validated months ago but is yet to be paid. I'm not holding my breath.

As the OP. mentioned, Casinos are in the business of screwing over their customers for as much as they can legally get away with.
They excel at risk management, and as such are not in the business of giving money away unless it's in their long-term interests.
I doubt they'll pay cashback to thousands of MSE exploiters if they don't deem them as likely return customers.

I have done a few gambling sites on quidco over the years to make a profit purely on the cashback offer. I have been lucky and they all paid out eventually (waited 6 months for betfair I think). The "gamble" is the chance you take on it tracking and paying out, as well as the potential wait of several months involved.

Gamble £35 and risk loosing it completly "v" making £25 profit (or more if you are fortunate to win and can withdraw) and remember to bear in mind you could be waiting a good while before you get your profit.

In my mind it is a "win" situation for casino's with a bit of clever marketing to try and "lure" potential gamblers in. The likes of quidco may well attract people who do not usually gamble and my guess is they want you to get people hooked with a view to parting with their own hard earned cash. To my mind, more people will end up spending than those who are in it purely for the cashback. Otherwise - what would be the point of them doing it?

These offers are not risk free as you are gambling and as you should know cashback is not guaranteed.

However I have done Eurogrand last year without a problem by following this method:

1. Enter site via Quidco.
2. Deposit £35.
3. IMPORTANT: Reject any bonus and close down any bonus pop-ups (e.g. 100% match of 1st deposit) - that's right REJECT it (otherwise you commit to a massive wager around as detailed by the poster/victim above).
4. Play 70 hands of Blackjack at 50p a time - don't worry it will go very fast.
5. After you have spent £35 stop as you have qualified for cashback.

Hint: When playing BJ use a blackjack strategy such as those found on wizardofodds.com. As a rule after playing 70 hands of £0.50 you should end up more or less back where you started.

The final difficult decision is do you leave funds in the account whilst waiting for cashback?

I decided not to - it took about 4 months for cashback to track (it was £60 back then).

I entered the roulette at http://www.williamhillcasino.com/, put 35 pounds and won.

Asked for withdrawal of 70 pounds.

Did not claim any bonuses.

What is next?

When I did EuroGrand, roulette wasnt allowed so spent about 2 hour playing slots.
