TAB Free Bets

Recommended Posts

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)..

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

I get your point but you could put a minimum odds requirement and turnover requirement e.g 3 times like some of the offshore operators have. 

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.

I don't see why you wouldn't to be honest. 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
