    I added my £25 ok and then had to put in another £2 from a credit card to confirm my age - then when I went to place a bet on the Grand National it says "SUSPENDED" .... does anyone know what is happening??

    can you place several bets totalling 25quid or does it have to be one bet?

    TIA

    Step 2. Place your bets. Then bet at least £25 on the Grand National in one bet or in a series of bets.

    Do you know how to place an each way bet?

    Answer to your question is - To do an e/w you would put half your stake on the win and half in the place market.

    But you need to do a £25 bet so you could just put it on in the place market.

    Have placed a £10 deposit in a newly opened account but can't make head nor tail of how I place a bet in the Grand National!!! Only ever go into a bookies on the day of the race once a year and they are geared up for women with £1 bets! Can anyone tell me an easy peasy way of betting on say half a dozen to use up the £25? And, am I right in saying that the (free)£25 doesn't show up when you are placing the bet, my worry is that their system hasn't credited it to my account and it will actually cost me £25 to place the bets! Help!

    I thought you a) you had to place 1 £25 bet and b) the ammount of £25 is credited to you after the event win or lose
