Bollocks. Just lost my £20 free bet from coral because it expired after 24 hours. I thought it was good for the whole of the next day and was saving it for when i got home from work, but it is exactly 24 hours after its credited. Watch out for that in future. Live chat were very sympathetic but wouldnt recredit it.
Sorry for delay in replying
@homie but only just seen this, so a tip for next time maybe?
I had EXACTLY the same problem, annoying as the blurb said the free bet would be credited BY noon the next day, and lots of people were receiving it late. I didn't even know WHEN I received mine.
Anyhow, I went onto live chat and they confirmed it was 24 hours from when you RECEIVE the free bet (which is stupid as it could go into your account anytime of the day or night), and that it is not possible to re-instate or issue another one. I was really annoyed to lose the £20 Free Bet.
However, I later saw a mention of this on the OM forum where someone HAD got the free bet after going onto live chat a second time and saying they (genuinely) thought they had 24 hours from when the bet was issued by (i.e. noon).
I tried it, and it worked (it was after midnight though, when it was a lot quieter, which may have helped).
