no interest charged for betting websites transactions?

Does anyone have any experience with using a credit card to fund a betting account with companies like willhill or betfair and them NOT being charged interest from the date of the transaction.

In other words, the transaction has been classed as a normal purchase and NOT as a cash advance?

Many thanks.

    Saga treats like normal transaction (Over 50 only)

    Vanquis treat like cash but don't charge a fee but do charge interest from the date of the transaction.
