      I think I'm safe in saying none of the British equine participants at the Festival will be on the magic carrots. We've got no bloody carrots for a start.

          Yeah, I must admit, the max stakes are a joke!

          Only got one account with max refund, rest are crap!

          • ?2 for me and ?2 for my mate who uses his account to lose on football accumulators every week ... so seems that is the max stake regardless of your status. What a joke these clowns are becoming.

              Have a few mates who have been given ?20 offers

              Asked if theyre a winning/losing account and some are few hundred down, some a few hundred up. Does seem really random

                Wondering whether I should be insulted or not.

                  Surprised about that. I was confident I got mine for being down over the years. Would it be the volume/stakes they use? I also do a brave few muggy bets too!

                  • I only have access to a family member's account which has barely been touched and is losing overall and just got ?2. Pretty pathetic from Sky, as you'd expect these days.

                    • All free bets gone. Averaging 400 up over a 5 year period.. should I have been hiding my bets better?! And if so, how?

                      Also, I've always thought that being that much up per year is peanuts to a bookie, is it not?

                        While they should be separate brands, Sky is part of a Flutter, and whilst it would be a huge violation of GDPR, it would not be a huge surprise to me if they cross reference customer profiles across all their brand

                          They definitely share information as if you cancel your Skybet account permanently, they tell you they will also cancel your other Flutter accounts as well.

                            Ah bugger, better watch out for my PP account then. I'd noticed recently that the freebies they were offering had started to massively reduce in value but didn't think anything of it...

                            • Nowt for me, i was expecting that as i don't get any free bet offers off them anymore. I haven't used these clowns since September and as soon as i get my Cheltenham antepost winnings from them (fingers firmly crossed) I'll be closing my account.

                              • I'm just putting this out there as I'm intrigued roughly at what point do certain bookmakers start restricting accounts etc.

                                I'm mentioning this as in relation to the Sky returns offer I have ?5 as mine compared to what I've seem most people reportedly having of ?2. Now I have a profitable Sky account as well, in the last 12 months over ?5k profit. And I would presume that also includes for all open bets I have with them currently classes as losses, which must be over ?2k ish. I have never been restricted on that account from what I remember in terms of stake restrictions until I get to silly amounts which I wouldn't stake (thousands).

                                On all my accounts I have only been restricted with Lad/Coral (pennies now) but I don't think I ever won much with them so just though they were just annoyingly like that with everyone. And then PP/BF where I'm stake restricted.

                                On all the other bookies for now (touch wood/fingers crossed) I'm not restricted at all with all having large profits on the accounts over the life of the accounts.

                                So I was wondering if there is some sort of limit that could be roughly worked out at once you reach then you get the email of dread from them?

                                I feel like I must be close if they are all profitable. But I also guess the good thing is that I spread my bets over about 10 bookmakers so no one account (other than probably 365) makes all of the money
