quidco/betfair question

dori2o

Have just signed up to betfair via quidco.

It says I have to deposit and wager £10.

Does this mean I have to make 1 £10 bet, or as many bets as I want to make up £10.

Thanks

I deposited £10.17 (bit extra to cover credit card charge) and made a number of small bets with low odds within the first week of membership. It's tracked and validated fine in Quidco. Winnings are now at £21 and to be on the safe side I have kept the account open and not withdrawn anything yet.

PS. There's a bit of discussion going on about Quidco / Betfair in this thread :-

Hi, think you can do what you like with the bets, but it's probably easiest to bet all at same time as someone on the other thread ended up betting £9 on stuff then not being able to get rid of remaining £1 as min bet is £2, so will have to transfer in another £10 to make up a min bet of £2.

if i place a bet on a event in the future (say grand national)
would it still validate on quidco or would it wait until the bet had finished?

Depending on your available money, why not make most ( if not done so ) of the free bet too:

CLAIM YOUR FREE BET

To claim your free £25 bet, open a Betfair account below using the code BFB425.

Make a deposit (min £10) to your account and then bet at least £25 in one bet or in a series of bets.

You'll receive your free £25 within 24 hours, whether you win or lose your bets!

Was that the charge that betfair made or Barclaycard ?

I got charged Betfairs 15p fee , checked my Nationwide accounts and found Nationwide Credit Card had treated the transaction as a cash advance and charged me 3.00 on top of Betfair 15p charge.

( I will be complaining about it, double whammy cos intially i deposited 10.00 forgetting about the 15p charge that betfair were deducting, i immediately applied to withdraw what was now 9.85, deposited 10.16 and got charged another 3.00 Cash advance fee by Nationwide.)

Reason i didnt use debit card was because it was already registered to Betfair. )
