pete 492 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 This is not a complaint obviously, just a little bemused that for four weeks in a row I've had $5 deposited into my account on Friday which is available to be used on the day and then earlier this week got another $10 if I deposited $20. Just wondering whether this is unusual or happens regularly to others. Seemed to start after I laid a complaint about account funding and then had a call from them. BTW I am a $100 a week punter Saturdays only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy 475 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 For the last few weeks ive recieved a text saying that they have put $5 into my account.I mean,hell if they want to get me excited about them putting money into my account,then maybe add a couple of zero's at the end of the 5. vanturk1, pete and jasonmccook1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 492 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah 5 bucks is pretty minimal. Worst thing is that every bet I've put on with their money has lost vanturk1, jasonmccook1 and bus stop 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 and there is no rhyme or reason behind who they pick to fund either. my wife spend $5 bucks every now and then and gets the $5 bets etc most weeks. With our punters club last round through my TAB account would of turned over over $8000 and get a 1/3 or even less of these free bets pete 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Bidlake 760 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 $5 isn't much but what they are trying to achieve is probably working. My cook has no interest in betting/racing but when we she heard me and someone talking about it a couple of weeks ago she said she might have to find out what her account number is and get it going again.( she must have been trying to impress me at some stage by opening an account to start with). jasonmccook1, pete and Memphis2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it she has more luck they me. I sit up studying the Melbourne Cup all night 2 years ago and got nothing. She went in with me and said "I like that , that and that" no study and got the tri etc ( must say I liked that as she shouted me tea) IWMC, pete and Aaron Bidlake 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck"s 40 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 They have a built in programme that triggers an email and "top up " to your account if you drop below a certain return threshold on you punting. They dont do it if you are beating them...Bit of a sneaky or cunning... enticement to keep you punting I guess ?? jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case it is because I only bet on Aussie racing on Saturdays so they try to get me betting mid week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver Dan 187 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 I get the $5 sports promotion offer - have to spend it that day or you lose it the next. I tried to put $5 on a 81 shot - was only given $3 of it as my a/c is limited to winning $250 on any sports bet. I find it quite comical.
