    Anyone know how I can get my money out of Betfair ?

    I deposited the £25.40 with my mastercard. Happily I'm a winner with Comply or Die ( £4.02 to win ). I've had my £25 free bet back. Last night I withdrew ( transferred back) the £25.40 initial bet to my mastercard. So I've got £40 odd sitting in the Betfair account but not sure how to get it out. Message from Betfair below when you go to 'transfer funds out' says you can't transfer out to your mastercard more than you transferred in ( and I've already done that ). Thought someone here might know a way ? If not I'll have to ring Betfair on Monday.

    Please note you cannot withdraw more to a UK MasterCard Credit Card than you deposited with that card and cannot withdraw anything to international MasterCards. These rules are imposed by MasterCard

    Still nothing tracking on my Quidco despite registering with Betfairr through them on Friday :confused: . Should I query it or am I being too impatient? Don't want to miss out :rolleyes:

    I placed a few bets on betfair (unfortunately didn't win) so does that mean I won't get the £25? It hasn't been credited to my account and I definitely signed into that deal and put £15 in (which I have now used)

    Can anyone help?

    Did you put £15 in? or £25?...

    If you only put £15.00 in im afraid you wont get that back. The deal was you had to put in £25.00 and bet it all on the grand national.

    Even if you didnt win, if you have deposited and bet with £25 you will get it back. Some people are still waiting due to a bit of a back log at betfair.

    Just to verify this..

    How the deal works

    If you sign up to Betfair as a new customer and bet £25 on the Grand National, it will refund the £25 straight back into your account after the race - whether you win or lose.

    Betfair's senior press officer has confirmed to us that, "As soon as £25 worth of bets are bet on a new account on Betfair, we will credit that account with £25" and that the money can then be withdrawn. Read the full T&Cs for this offer.

    This is what happened with my OH.

    What we did was transferred the original amount back onto the mastercard and then went back in to transfer money and took the option to transfer the remainder by bank transfer to his bank account. This worked no problem

    Even if you didnt win, if you have deposited and bet with £25 you will get it back. Some people are still waiting due to a bit of a back log at betfair.

    If the OP used the same code as everyone else then it isnt specific to the National or a £25 bet, that code has been in use for over a year and to get the free £25 all you have to do is deposit £5 or more so they will get the £25 back.

    Was no need to place a £25 back bet either, laying a 1.01 to win £25p costing you 25p is still classed as a £25 bet by Betfair and you would have been credited for that as well.

    Anyone could sign up today using the same code and do as i've said and they will get their £25 as well + quidco.

    If you've not placed enough qualifying bets yet then you wont get it but as long as you still have a few pence in your account then you can get it by laying. If you need help drop me a pm. :)
