The balance of your account should be:

The above winnings +
Your stake on the winning bets (as you didn't lose it) -
The stake on your losing bets -
5% commission on your net profit +
Your £25 freebie.

Does that make sense/tally with your balance?

Betfair odds include the stake being returned if you are a winner, so the 10.51 odds would have included the stake refund - confused me as well at first - it is in the help section

Thanks all who replied to me above.

Feel a bit silly now, but I see they have only deducted the original stakes for the "lost" bets and not for the "won" bets -so I was looking for them to refund me something they hadn't actually deducted in the first place - duh

Can I just ask......did everyone that joined through Quidco get their £25 stake back? I have my £30 tracked in quidco, won £15 on my bets but I'm still waiting the £25 refund from Betfair. I know I'm £20 up but the extra £25 would be really nice!!!

I'm still waiting for my £25 too, but I went for start of play odds which means wouldn't have been confirmed until the race started so I am hoping I will get my money tomorrow as it said allow 24 hours from the race.

I followed the instructions at the top of the page and went thru Betfair but although I placed the £25 bet as stated I've not had any refund. Have I lost my £25? What has gone wrong? How do I reclaim it? I didn't pick a winner so no winnings either.

the £25 will be credited back to your account up to 24 hours after the race. Another 19 or so to go I reckon

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Well I took the the advice from Martin as 'read' but I should have read the T&Cs. You have to match the bet with at least the same amount or more. So, essentially it's not as per what Martin said, bet £25 and get it back the next day. This is the second time I've fallen for something like this, did the same last year on PaddyPower, I didn't get my free bet due to some rule/condition in the T&Cs, but I trusted Martin on what he said. That was pretty stupid. Now, I've loaded up my £25, luckily I've not placed my bet, but I can't work out how to get my money transfered back onto my card. The transfer fund but is greyed out, and of course, no contact numbers to speak of. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Martin, I thought you checked out the T&Cs as you're the expert, obviously not! BAD ADVICE! [/FONT]

Im confused :eek: Are you saying you have to bet £50? £25 and match another £25...Im new to this and I bet £25.. and i still havent recevied anything..It also couldnt verify my age!!! Im worried now i Lost £25 which i cant affored to loose.

Dear_Mr_Echo

Won £22 on Comply or Die which is showing in my account but no stake back and no Quidco tracking as yet - but I'm patient so I'll give them a (wee) while to sort it... I expect they have been rather busy.

NO NO and NOOOOOOO

You deposit £25.

You spend that £25 on the Grand National.

Spend it how you like - all on one horse, or on lots of horses.

Wait for race to end.

Wait for up to 24 hours AFTER the race has ended for your £25 to be credited to your account.

End of.
