    ive just registered via quidco and deposited £10 into my betfair account but theres no sign of the free £25 bet. Has anyone else had problems please? Is there something else i need to do before i can claim the £25 national bet?

    As per original post step 2, you need to bet £25 first. After the race, Betfair will credit your account with a new £25 within 24hours and that can then be withdrawn. HTH

    note: I added £25 to the account via cc but only 24.62 ended up in the account, and its a minimum £10 to add more. Wish this was made clear.

    Hooray! I deposited my £25 (via Quidco which tracked fine) last night, placed a bet on the GN, and this morning checked my Betfair account and they've already put in their £25, which I've now withdrawn.

    So, that's £55 profit and if by any freak chance my horse wins, I'll get £275.

    THANK you Martin :money: , I haven't bet on the Grand National since the days of the 2p family bets in the 1970's :rotfl:

    Got to work out which horse to back now and how to do it! :rotfl:

    I used Martin's code and it tracked on Quidco within 5 minutes.

    Thanks Martin.

    PS My 3 year old son thought he saw you in our local Tesco (Glos) the other day, he was shouting your name across the store. He recognised you from the picture on the webpage!!! I felt sorry for the poor man who was not you.

    Oh, just gone for it, feeling quite devilish here! Outside of my comfort zone here-I normally follow threads like this, then join in at the last minute, only to find it has been withdrawn/ended etc etc!

    Dont have a clue how to place a bet though-will need to speak to DH tonight (although he is going to be so shocked!!) Just keeping my fingers crossed that it tracks through Quidco now.

    Incidentally, I funded my betting account (oh, sounds so naughty!!) through paypal. It seems a straight forward way to put money in and withdraw it. It costs 1.5% to do it this way, so make sure you put in more than £25.

    Good luck everyone!
