So goes to show it's not a "limit" on Free Bets that is in the criteria as I managed 3 x those amounts! However I can't possibly tell you what I did to fly under the radar as I don't know!

I don't think mine are due till Saturday & Monday (that's when they pay isnt it? I forget!) due to when I placed them so will see this weekend! The email said they will honor any free bets owed up to the point of that email so it shouldn't be a problem

Odds are still shocking for the Liverpool match tonight! Will wait till nearer the time but will probably have to "suck up" a bigger loss in order to get the FB

I got £95 plus the £30 sign up offer, so £125 in total. So, that seems to be the average, but somehow you managed more. Well done

I haven't been using my Betway account. Maybe I should 😬 have you guys just been doing the bets for the bet club?

Have the bet365 bet to place still for tonight's game. Really want to get on for a chance of 2up so will check again later.

I missed the last bet365 freebie. Had to get my priorities straight... Either be around to place the freebie or be at the hospital to meet my 1st grandchild. The sacrifices we make 😂

your first grandchild wouldn't have remembered you not being at the hospital

for betway I actually only did the weekly bet club TWICE! All the other Free Bets I got for them was doing about 75% of the other offers they have on (so usually the bet £5 for a free £5 or £10 bet on the #betyourway market - this is usually advantage play as you can't really lay them, I often did the Money back if your horse doesn't win, or in comps £10 back for every £10+ bet you place that doesn't win etc, just anything and everything they offered! ) It's funny how I am gubbed now by doing the bet club... wonder if that has anything to do with it - going to avoid the bet club on DH account and see if that keeps it open!

My DW got the Paddy Pants but I didn't. Most upset as my account has been going much longer than hers! It's the one single bookie account I had before I started MBing.

We're going to wrap them up and give them to DS for Xmas

This is why Bookies that only ever had an online presence will still offer the same deals and same standard of Odds, and you will see the bookies with a high street presence start to offer less deals and poorer odds - they need to claw their losses back form the stores somewhere!

I wondered if the opposite would be true. The lack of in-store would force them to do more offers online in order to claw back custom... looks like they are not doing that though, but it does mean rather than placing at least 1 bet per account per day with them, I'm now doing zero...

Same with Betfred now they are only 1 per day and a not-great offer at that.

In fact, my usual daily activity has basically reduced to nothing as they were the 2 offers I would get on every day.

Quite annoying... will hit my earnings. Will have to get back on some signups I think.

I'm the same, not much in the way of offers. Even Betsid, who I had £25fb per week, is down to zero.

WH boost is back to £40 today!

Odds are shockingly bad (as they have been for a couple of weeks) so not on anything yet, but it might not be dead now!

It may perhaps turn that way eventually but I wonder if they are mitigating the initial loss in the stores by trying to offset it against the online business in order to keep the "books" happy for the time being?!?!

It won't surprise me if eventually most physical bookies are shut down, except a few shops in the busiest areas and they are predominantly all run online!

Must have lost to many punters by reducing it... either that or someone coded the incorrect amount in to the system
