If you go into account and then bonus it tells you how much you needs to wager left until your bonus funds turn to cash funds

Why? Why? WHY? Do I do Sky Virtual Thursday's?!?!?!?!?

I have never won...not ever....with either the initial bet of free one. If I could bet on that result (never winning) I'd be loaded. And yet I keep on trying because, REASONS.

Didn't know it was back - went away for a while - I used to do it and did quite well!

Did the Foxy Casino offer few days ago and just finished wagering through nearly £400 and came out £50.95 up so very happy! ;D

Just had an email from Bet365 saying their £50 refund offer is on for this weekends Champions League final will be a shame when they aren't running over the summer.

Just decided to carry on and went £1 spins got bonus on my last spin and got £36 then decided to play Twin Spin instead, got 2 big wins, so now it says I have £24.10 real money and £93 bonus.. am I best trying to wager that until its withdrawable max lines min stake or just keep going at £1,25 spins until I reach £24.10?

I'm the bringer of bad news here I'm afraid and was tempted not to mention it because it's a bit of a bummer in the circumstances because you could have withdrawn that £93 BUT, just in case it happens again in future you'll know what to do and not lose out next time.

As Jon said, once you bust out on wagering then you should have gone to Live Chat - BGO wagering requirements don't always drop off your account - this is a known issue with their website which Live Chat are aware of (aka a bug) - this means even after you bust out they sometimes stay on your account (and can do forever, in fact, there is a good chance your wagering requirement from this offer is also STILL on your account, meaning you'll want to get Live Chat to remove that before you try any future offers).

Last night the exact same thing happened to me as you - I bust out, but as I'd messed up during wagering anyhow (I didn't notice it was x2 coins on the spins so I accidentally started wagering into my original deposit before I realised), I decided 'screw it' and kept going using my original deposit funds. Got the feature and a nice win and it went back to £25 cash and around £25 Bonus funds. When I checked my Wallet I found that I had not one, but two wagering requirements still active as it still had the wagering from the original 5 free spins there too.

However, as I say, I'd bust out and was using my original deposit for spins when I won the feature money, so I went to Live Chat and they removed the wagering requirements because they weren't meant to be there in the first place, the bonus amount then switched to 'real' money and I was able to withdraw the full amount without issue.

TL;DR BGO's website bugs all the darn time and wagering requirements don't drop off when they should after busting out so you'll need to ask Live Chat to remove them.

Just been doing a Ladbrokes casino offer and was playing Wild Gambler when I hit a bonus round! Was instantly excited as last time I hit a bonus round on WG I won £50 and was only doing 20p stakes. Got to the end of the bonus round and I won a grand total of 25p!!
Seriously how is that even possible!

I know loads of people on PA love that slot but I think it is my least favourite slot to use.

 

[Jon]

I hate that slot

I like slots where there is more than one way to get a bonus

Just did the BGO offer deposit match plus 50 free Twin Spin spins, deposited £30 got about £32 from the spins, checked wagering left and it was at about £1250 after 20 mins I still had £1240 odds to go, so, defeatist attitude locked in I decided to hell with it, am losing my £30 so started doing £2 spins on starburst, up down up down.... wagering barely moving, so decided to just get it over with on Gonzos Quest ...up to £10 spins...with £67 in my account... ended up down to £7 changed to £5 spin...nothing, then £2 spin, nothing had 64p in my account went to 20p spins, got a bonus round...then another... was back to £47, changed to Guns n Roses... back to £10 spins... big win,big win,big win, big win... found myself at £690!! Looked at wagering... only £181 left to go, so 18 £10 spins and a £1 spin later... I am left with £574 real cash... withdrawn!!! Happy now....not advisable and NEVER AGAIN!!

Thanks [member=1315]Pbrail[/member] ... yes actually when I went to withdraw the £574 it said I had an active bonus, and that is exactly what I did was go on to LC who removed the £19 odds bonus from yesterday and the withdrawal went thru..... This is the 3rd time I have had a big big win from BGO after only depositing pennies... can they gub? I smell it coming lol

Wow that is brilliant!
Sounds like I need to do the BGO offers more. I keep forgetting that you only need to deposit to get the free spins and then can withdraw it back out again.

 

[mabozza]

Yes but don't go about it like I did lol

Looking into trying out matched betting, quick question though as you mentioned about being 'gubbed'?... obviously bookies don't like people matched betting as it means the bookies are betting against each other. But whats the risks of being shut down as surely they catch on to schemes like this and see what people are betting on? if that makes any sense at all?

 

[Jon]

To avoid being gubbed [member=3914]Rosscal[/member] you simply mug bet alongside matched betting which makes you look like a regular punter

Don't worry there are some great mug betting guides on profit accumulator

 

[Rosscal]

ok thanks Jon, I'll give it a go.

Just had account suspended on coral, turns out I already have an account with them :-\

will see what else is out there.

Easy mistake to make, I almost double signed up a couple of times but when i tried to sign up they managed to match my account so wouldn't actually let me sign up again.

 

[Jon]

Oh man

All that money to be made this weekend in that profit accumulator email and I can't do any of them this weekend!!!!

Grrrr

I think I've so far got 4 horses on betfair for the £25 on win offer, plus PP and Bet365 inplay offers on tonights football, still trying to find a good match on the Skybet horse offer.
