Bookmakers Special Offers:

[Ice]

Was gonna make a joke about how their Supreme money back offer this year will probably be max 1 pound stake. Then I remembered they actually did something similar last year

It was something like that, the funniest part was they bigged up the offer and i think geoff was promoting it on the advert !

Very disappointed with the new Sky Bet Club offers....

Got rid of a £5 free bet, and £6 horse racing

You now get 2x £2.50 free Horse Racing Acca bets.....

But it's NEXT LEVEL REWARDS!

They just didn't say which direction the next level was in

Cracking stuff……don’t forget best odds…..which all punters got previously, now need to qualify to get it

Well that's me never using them again, dreadful

I did think the same at 1st. I will still use them but nowhere near what i did. At least they had any race prices up early and you can use them in doubles and upwards ,as well(well i hope)

Absolute crap from them, I just went on live chat to say as much in a nice manner to give them feedback, squeezing of every margin etc and then chat was closed before I could send! Says it all. Will be using them very little now, have a decent stack of money on there account, going straight back to my bank account. Useless outfit.

I genuinely think that you, and others, will have to learn to be grateful that you still have active accounts.

I'm reliant on friends setting up accounts for me, a Betfred one was probably a 5k loser until recently then a 5k patent landed and they immediately restricted it to pennies, the lifespan of that account is square, yet effectively unusable.

This will only get worse I'm afraid....

Im not sure grateful is the right word. Grateful to whom exactly. Like yourself I have very few options but I am not grateful for the few that I have as I have to bet like an idiot to keep them (some will say that should come naturally to me ). I think your point is to not sweat the small stuff when so many are in a worse position???

I'd suggest if you choose to bet, and you are able to do it through legitimate means then grateful is appropriate, we all bet to make money and if you are given the opportunity to do that you should be grateful.
If you're anywhere near as old as me then you will remember betting without BOG, extra places, bonus payouts, faller concessions, refunds for non starters etc etc etc so removal of free bets that were only introduced 10/15 years ago can't be a huge issue ?
I'm just resigned to it being what it is, don't get me wrong it's no fun betting 4 places in the National but the choice not to bet is mine and I accept poorer terms than others can get, but when I do get friends to set something up I am grateful to be able to benefit from those improved terms...

It's my 4th Sky account, mine is long gone - I was just saying generally for the people that can use them, very disappointing.

As I have a live one I hoped to milk it a little longer though

I used to want the Sky ones as the offers were worth it, going back a few years. Money Back if you back a loser up to fair amounts was decent, especially with 4 accounts etc

Anyway, I won't be getting another I wouldn't have thought!

Post deleted as this is not the correct thread. I think at some point, probably after March we should visit this topic properly because I’m sure we all feel very passionate about it and many of us are in difficult yet different situations. My position is pretty dire and it sounds like yours is too. Many on here I suspect are in similar positions and yet many appear to be relatively unscathed. I think there is lots to understand from lots of people.

Yeah agree, that money back if places opening TV race was decent.
I’d still look to use them if you can, extra places and early NRNB must have some value, no ?

Very rarely. I only use them when they're standout now so expeecting to get closed for that reason

Maybe if I lose a Denise account I'd pay it more attention.
