    I regularly use VPN on my phone to login. Works fine in the UK but not had the chance to do so abroad but I wouldn't have thought it would be an issue. B365 I can never access and Hills sometimes blocks. Sky and PP never an issue.

            Programming is a bit beyond my capabilities sadly, thanks for the reply though.

The Platinum subscription is very useful for the bet / lay builder functionality where you can toggle on various things and it quickly filters selections for you, but it is expensive at close to ?200 for 8 weeks full price.

              With platinum, you also get access to a telegram group where systems and bets are discussed which was informative. My issue is though - I only have a work laptop and couldn’t download the software on to it to run the systems, so in that sense isn’t worth it for me full price. However - when going racing I do tend to buy 24 hour access to scan cards more efficiently.

              It’s decent though for sure - just DM me if you want any more specifics on what you can use it for etc.
              Yeah, I think I'll wait until one of their offers and give it a try, cheers knockando.

                          • Me too......
                            They "seem" to be returning them in monetary order, with lower stakes first....
                            (Certainly, in my small sample size)

                            My GQ one was my biggest NRNB stake, the other three were all returned yesterday afternoon (and significantly smaller)

                              size don't matter, as Galahad was my smallest stake

                              • I think they've simply forgot him.
                                probably as surprised he's not entered as most on here.
                                someone should give them a nudge
