New to matched betting?
My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

That guy who won 35k was matchdem apparantly
+0Can only wish that this pull end the large rollover requirements of some sign up offers
+0Does it matter? Only an issue for those who don’t read t&c and believe something can be better than it is. Doesn’t seem to be against misleading rollovers, just harder ones
I’d rather they target the companies fronting as bookies to get ppl into the online slot/casino lines, they ban us so they can’t lose cash on the bookie front then screw the average Joe for every penny. If they want to pretend to be bookies (victor and your shit house Scottish partner a big example) then play the game+0Betman, even if you read the t+c’s they put obstacles in your way. For example, I have a bet365 account with a matched deposit bonus of £200. After 9 bets they stake restricted me to an average of £6. This makes it incredibly difficult to wager the £1200 in 90 days required to make a withdrawl, they didn’t make this possibilty clear in the terms.

+0Surely you’d rather they target the stake restrictions then than the rollover requirements?
Being restricted to £6 a bet is the problem, not having to place 2 or 3 bets a day to complete rollover (which I think at £6 a go isn’t that unreasonable for a company giving you a bonus to primarily use them)
+0Of course, in my example it’s the stake restriction that is the issue. By placing a stake restriction on my account they have made it difficult for me to complete the rollover, this, in my opinion, is unfair. At best they should only be able to set a minimum stake restriction during a customers rollover period (set and enforced by the gambling commission). Or at worst set out in the terms that this kind of stake restriction is a possibility.
If I was a mug punter being able to bet a reasonable amount I would only have to find one bet a day that I felt had a chance of winning. At £6 I have to find 2-3, this makes it even less likely I will walk away with a profit on the bonus.
