Tesla Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I didn't get it so I messaged them and they gave me a free $50 bonus bet without having to deposit anything which I turned into $170 on some Horsham donkeys. Going to try it even though I know there is little chance they'll give me it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same, but more so just because the races before that had good promotions elsewhere, nothing much on race 3 so went for the 50%.Surely even $1.60 is too much for Exosphere? Surprised its not like $1.40 or less. Edited October 31, 2015 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Up about $1k I love looking up the odds on other sites for Ladbrokes' "Mega Multi" and comparing the other site's odds to the "mega odds" that are so great at Ladbrokes they have to limit it to a $50 max bet. $4.50 at Ladbrokes, $4.59 at sportsbet ffs. And for sure it's even more at unibet, bet365 and possibly Willaim Hill.Always look up these "boosted odds" offers, I swear like 10% of the time they arent even better than other sites and probably another 30% of the time they are only like a 10% boost at best.Applies to every site but the Mega Multi and Footy Freaks at Ladbrokes are the worst culprits.

Grimey Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Today was the 1st time I've bet on a horse since Maldivian won the Cox plate.Race 5 Flemington- Excess Knowledge.Took Ladbrokes' +50% on fixed odds.Made about $200.What a ride. Was 3 wide for bascially the whole race, but still got it done. Add to that a photo finish.Good times.Now onto Chelsea tonight with stake back as a bonus bet if they win by 2 or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty mad as I had $100 on it, couldn't believe it when I saw the photo.Also on Chelsea, but didn't bother with that Luxbet promo, it's quite unlikely that it will be decided by more than 1 goal.

HeartinHobart Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've noticed that all Corporates have reduced their promos for the rest of the carnival. Can only assume for two reasons.1. They've taken a heavy hit over the previous weeks from consistently betting under 100%2. I realisation that potential new clients would have already signed up if they were going too.

Tesla Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've noticed that all Corporates have reduced their promos for the rest of the carnival. Can only assume for two reasons.1. They've taken a heavy hit over the previous weeks from consistently betting under 100%2. I realisation that potential new clients would have already signed up if they were going too. Last year they reduced them significantly for the cup because people bet anyway. The WH sites completely removed their signup bonus as well, because people sign up anyway.But actually the reduction in promos over the last couple of weeks seems to have followed WH reducing theres, as theyve been the ones giving away free money recently which I think has pushed the others to do the same.It's a cycle i've noticed, like when Crownbet was Beteasy and they were just trying to build up a client base to sell it off (which they did successfully), they were giving away so much free money and everyone else was forced to have better promos, then when they slowed down everyone else did. Then Ladbrokes started those $2 favourites, and I'm guessing it was really successful at getting people to bet with them for the whole weekend and then everyone sort of copied that and we had a period of boosted odds everywhere. Then WH went nuts with the promos to promote the William Hill rebrand and everyone else had to step up their game.It's all starting to calm down now and especially once the carnival is over there won't be much going on I don't think.Until someone else starts going nuts with the promos again for some reason.

TBH, in my case it was clearly a mistake, but still I only had 50 on they could have just honoured it. The bet didn't even win at the end of the day. Didn't even throw me a bonus bet when I complained on live chat. I'm used to the betting sites being cunts to me because I actually win, but I don't think I've really won much at bet365, I think they're just stingy cunts in general.

tomby Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Call up Ladbrokes and say you saw their advertisement on TV about depositing $30 and receiving an extra $70. Did it just then myself and it worked only need to deposit $30 and you'll get $100 in your account. Their phone number is 1800 523 276.

mus-28 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 CrownBet are offering $175 worth of free bets if you deposit $25. I've used $100 of the free bets, withdrawn $50, have $100 in account and $50 of free bets remaining and 8 bets pending. Just have to roll over your winnings into sure things and it's money for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like your domain Tesla.It's not really going to make a huge difference for you if you're just a very casual punter, pick one of Ladbrokes, Sportsbet, and Crownbet.If there is any chance of you turning over $200 worth of bets any time soon then let me refer you for Ladbrokes so I get a bonus bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you win a bet when using the bonus bets you don't get your stake back (since you didn't actually stake anything), you just get the winnings. To put it another way, just subtract 1 from all odds, eg a 30$ bonus bet at $3 odds will return you $60 instead of the $90 it would with real money. The other thing is that you usually have to turn over the winnings from a bonus bet at least once more before you can withdraw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd have for eg. $200 in my account, but when I bet does it indicate when I'm betting my money separately to the bonuses? And do they say how many times I have to bet the bonuses to claim my winnings? Edited November 3, 2015 by n i k o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do they say how many times I have to bet the bonuses to claim my winnings? With crownbet if you deposit $50, your account will show $50 and you will have the $150 in free bets available whenever you access a bet slip. You can split the bets in half or quarters to give you more individual bets (e.g can use 1 $50 free bet, 2 @ $25 or 4 @ $12.50) Whatever winnings you get from those bets will be added to your initial $50. Only downside is you also have to turnover the initial $50 you deposited before you can withdraw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 What mus said. Think it's only 1 time you need to turn it all over at crownbet and at 1.50 or more odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that any good? 2nd or 3rd, not 4th.Ubet is better because they have upto $100 cash back for 2nd or 3rd, sportsbet upto $50.They also had better odds on the horse I bet on, dunno about the market in general.Pretty much every betting site still gives signup bonuses to Victorians, they just have to legally say its excluded. The one exception though for me was crownbet, they didnt give me it, but others seem to get it fine.
