AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Was the best one going around for the races it was on coz of price protection imo. Bit weird to get rid of it when basically every competitor has it, or at least a 2nd only version.Just noticed From bet365:
Important Announcement
From the 12th February 2023 we will no longer be offering the Racing Refund Offer. If your runner falls short but manages to grab second or third place at Race 4 Sandown on 11th February you will be paid with a Bet Credits refund.
That one is sad. Was a good promo for a lot of years, you could place the bonus on a promo race and get it the bonus returned as well.

Long time Lurker,
Thought i'd try and provide some value back by sharing my recent experiences with opening accounts at the smaller books.
A couple of fairly consistent themes.
1. Expect to get promo banned as soon as you hit a small winning streak or a BB lands. This is especially the case for the books that actually offer promos with decent value. Fortunately it was fairly straightforward to withdraw once this happened with the exception of Texbet, Bossbet & Upcoz which I would avoid.
2. Most of them just offer 2nd or 3rd BB back, given their margins you aren't going to be looking at a big EV play very often. Better off using multiple at once for a higher return on your time/effort as they generally cover the same races with similar odds so you can AP them all together or just change your lay amount.
3. A lot of books silently promo ban w/o notification, one benefit of the betmakers skin is being able to check for the $ sign on your end.
4. The user experience is Average to Poor at basically all of these small operators, especially if you bet on sports; expect terrible %'s, tiny limits and a general lack of markets (Betright/Picklebet/Mintbet probably the best layout/sports markets but still have issues with ban speed/limits)
Issues with withdrawing/verifying etc, all of them provided a reason to avoid based on my experience.
Texbet - Deposit Match, almost immediately promo banned & forced to jump through hoops to withdraw/verify (Would avoid)
Bossbet - no sign up offer, some decent promos but banned very quickly then had tiny limits put on bets making using BB's & then turnover very challenging. Try and use all your BB's as they come in.
Upcoz - Similar stories to others in this thread, onerous demands in relation to verification/withdrawal once acc became profitable (would avoid)
Betdeck - no sign up offer, Assume immediately promo banned w/o notification.
Actionbet - as above
Goldbet - as above
No sign-up but offered promos. no issues with verification/withdrawal
Crossbet - no sign-up, some decent promos, promo banned 4-5 weeks
Marantellibet - No sign-up, 2nd/3rd BB seems to just be offered in peak racing season.
Winbet - no signup, some okay promos, mostly just 2nd or 3rd BB back on racing.
Punters pal - No signup from memory, have 2nd/3rd BB backs daily, can be hard to find value with their margins.
Bethunter - Can't recall % offer, Have some 2nd/3rd BB back, can be hard to find value with their margins. silently promo banned
Deposit Match + No issues withdrawing/verifying
Punt 123 - 100% 50 match , Promo Banned after 1-2 weeks, some okay promos but hard to find value in racing given margins.
Baggybet - 50% 150 match + reload offer, promo banned after ~2 weeks, okay promos
Okebet - 100% 100 match + reload offers, some okay promos but mostly 2nd money back, promo banned 2-3 weeks.
Swiftbet - 50% 200 match + a few reload offers, Decent promos, promo banned 1-2 weeks
Readybet - 50% 100, some decent promos, promo banned 2-3 weeks
Getsetbet - 50% 500, hard to find value in their promos given the margins, mostly just 2nd bb back.
Wishbet - 100% 100, don't offer many promotions.
Realbookie - 100% 100, have a lot of promos especially 2nd or 3rd bb back, can be hard to find value given margins.
Rambet - Can't recall amount, some reload offers, essentially just 2nd BB back promos, can be hard to find value with margins.
Betgold - Same as Rambet but generally only a hand ful of races during big meets.
Mintbet -100% 150, few reload offers, have some decent promotions. Promo Banned after 4-5 weeks
Picklebet - 100% 50 (Acc was dormant for a while before receiving), very good racing promos,promo banned after 1-2 weeks with no notification.
Extremely quick promo ban hammer
Betnation - Can't recall % offer, Promo Banned after 4 bets.
Foxcatcher - 100% 100, Promo banned after 3 bets
Betright - Generic 100% 100 match, did not honour & immediately promo banned (assume hit a flag in the system)
i would have been suss given they had the draw option. NBA don't have drawsGreat work by Peter Laird and his team at Betgold today.
As some of you have alluded to, the way some of their markets are framed, and the way they appear in your pending bets, can sometimes be confusing.
This morning on their main NBA page, I saw these markets and I decided to get on Milwaukee.

This is how it appeared in my bet slip.

I discovered this bet was on the first quarter winner. I brought this to their attention and I had Peter Laird personally contact me and he apologised for the confusion and he told me if my bet loses, he will refund my entire stake in bonus bets.
True to his word, Milwaukee lost the first quarter and my stake was returned to me in bonus bets.
Brilliant service and the best thing is they are looking into this glitch so hopefully these markets will be less confusing in the future.

You got a bonus bet instead of the win payout you should have gotten? It's better than nothing, but I don't see how it isn't their fault you bet on the wrong market.Great work by Peter Laird and his team at Betgold today.

What I failed to add is initially I asked if my bet could be cancelled, which Peter was happy to do, but that's when he said, "I'll tell you what. If your bet loses, I'll make sure you get your stake back as a bonus balance, how does that sound?"You got a bonus bet instead of the win payout you should have gotten? It's better than nothing, but I don't see how it isn't their fault you bet on the wrong market.
Everyone loves 365 and goes on Bout how good they areBet365 closed my account. 99% sure it's because I accused them of accepting in play bet after the race had concluded. I wasn't rude or anything, I just asked the question and asked for the exact time the race concluded since the betslip has the time the bet was placed down to the second. They didn't want to provide that. They basically told me to prove it or stfu. Hard for me to prove, not hard for them.
