I joined bet365 because they were offering to match your first bet and i wanted a wee punt on the open. I deposited £50 and thought i would be able to have a £100 bet. Not as easy as that though, they try and baffle you with rules about withdrawing it and the like.

These are two bits i copied and pasted from the email i got. Could somebody please explain it too me in normal english cause i just dont understand what there on about. Cheers :thumbsup:

think they are saying to spend teh bonus amount you need to firstly place your £50.

Therafter you need to punt 3 x £50(x2) = £300 before you can make any withdrawal back to your account..

You have to place your first £50 bet before you get any free ones.

So are they saying if the bet i made with my deposited money wins i cant withdraw it back? i can see the point if it was the free bonus money. Sounds a bit of a swizz now.

Some of the sign up offers are better than others(this one is pretty rubbish). You'll probably find that you have to place your initial bet at odds of at least evens to qualify as well.

The sign up offers aren't as good as they once were but there are still some good ones(e.g. betfair), you just have to make sure you read the terms to check exactly what you have to do before depositting your cash.
