Ponderosa8 1,321 Report post Posted August 11, 2019 Not sure if this issue has been covered off before.... but anyway. Didn't realise I had a "$30 FREE BET" in my account until I accidently hit on the button (hope you know which one I mean). So earlier in the day I put the $30 on Grand Ariana FF PLC at $3.90 in the last at Ruakaka…. and it ran on nicely to finish 3rd. Well $30 x $3.90 = $117.00 but my account was credited with only $87 so if you happen to be a winner they obviously deduct the amount of the Free Bet off the winning total.?? (just glad I didn't put the $30 for a place on Aalaalune on the tote in the first, paid $1.10 so I would have been credited a whopping $3)..

TurnyTom 1,519 Report post Posted August 11, 2019 It's how free bets work same in Aussie tab but I get 50 or a hundy - good way to build your account up with a good free win bet Ponderosa8 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Tiger 49 Report post Posted August 11, 2019 Surely you can see their point here Ponderosa?? If they didn't deduct the bonus (stake) then punters would simply bet on a $1.05 shot and withdraw the stake which would effectively end such promotions. As an aside, I think the TAB targeted bonus bets are very effective and a good marketing tool from the kiwi TAB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why they are doing it they way they are now but I don’t really bother doing any of the top up bonus offers I get any more.

If they are happy to give you a $30 free swing of the bat in return for depositing $50 then you are missing you. As an aside, I always use the free bets for options that are paying a fair bit such as backing the draw and also the first try scorer bets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonkatime 323 Report post Posted August 17, 2019 I won a bonus bet on Friday but it still isn’t available to use today. Do these only get credited to accounts between Monday and Friday? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
