Seems like I hadn't played there before as I thought I have. Tried it out now and won some, so I'll make a cashout and a trip report .

I am glad that players have been paid , I guess that was why the theread was started . But now we must move on to another point.

Aka23 asked why did this happen in the first place? I would like to know the answer o that question as well , until this is cleared up they are still shady in my list .

I am willing to put some $$ on the table that if this thread wasnt posted here , these players wouldnt have been paid , casinos shouldnt wait until we psot bad about hem to get their act together.

Martyn , I have heard alot about yur casino , I would enjoy playing there but please ler us know what the players did wrong so we can avoid oursleves the hassle . I am not a bonus player either BUT still never hurts to know

Friday: 140 Euro cashin (got the Bonus of 140 Euro)
Saturday: wagered above 4200 Euro, cashout of more than 500 Euro requestet
Today: Money hit my Neteller account

So I have nothing negative to say about, instant Bonus + fast cashout (as it was weekend and new year). In fact, I think that I'm going to deposit there and play till I bust or make a big win ^^

Sorry for those who didn't get their money, and I know my text sure looks like an advertisment ...

However, don't forget that there are probably lots of people who are affected by this that doesn't read this forum, so you guys will need to contact them by other means so that they can get their cash.

BTW ... the title now suggests that it was all a silly muddle cheerfully resolved as opposed another case of their proven modus operandi to defraud players repeatedly.

Shouldnt folk be aware of what they try to do?

Just my thoughts.

Good to hear from you Henry.

I am happy you have enjoyed good luck there Cipher, and not just at the tables!!

They hate paying bonuses once they have been earned (which is ironic considering he calls himself The Bonus King !!). BetFraud is possible a more fitting monicker.

Thanks for the regards.

No, you will have to beg and plead your case on every single occasion should you fluke a win at Bet Fred using a bonus. Having regard to the rapidly mounting compalints being filed on several other Forum boards the "bonus abuse" email has become standard Bet Fred fare.

Such a practice is a measure of the contempt in which Bet Fred holds it's customers. I for one are not a little bit surprised.

It is good that players are now being paid. However, there are still many unanswered questions. Why did this happen in the first place? In the future, will a significant portion of players need to contact with Jackie or Martyn at BetFred to be paid their winnings? Or will BJ players consistently be paid without issue?

Bear in my mind they have been denying bonuses in their sportsbook and their casinos .. practically two seperate companies and certainly two totally independent bonuses ... it almost sounds like it was a policy decision. Im sure Martyn can clarify though.

Glad all the frustration and anger of the customers can end now finally. Always good to see.

Just like with the intercasino thread.

Try dozens of emails, phone calls, etc with the company itself and you get flatly refused, ignored, account locked, etc

But post a complaint on a public forum and in a flash the company is running round to do a complete U-turn on weeks of so called "final decisions" and start profusely apologising.

Just wish companies would be as considerate in responding to customers themselves rather than public forums.

Thanks Cipher, I would have been here a lot sooner if I had replied to the activation email so many months ago. I got in touch with Bryan earlier who sorted me out.

Thanks also to him.

But the offer is open, send me any issues on this matter and I will get onto it. I am off work tomorrow but back in the New Year on the 2nd. If you cant wait that long get in touch with our customer services department and they should know, if not Jackie knows all about it.

This should be good news for me, as I played there and lost the deposit and bonus.

So I'm going to turn myself in for bonus abuse and request them to send my 100£ deposit back.

This is getting ridiculous. Now playing VP gets the brush-off. Seems that anyone who wins and withdraws gets their accounts locked.

Either an explanation from the casino or a roguing is called for. If they don't want people to play BJ then put it in the damn T & C!

Merry Xmas everyone. I got this email back this morning:


"Hi XXXX,

Thank you for contacting Betfred Casino.

Please accept my apologies for the mix up on your account. I’m not quite sure how this has occurred but please be assured that your account has been re-opened and your funds returned.

Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.

The outstanding $440 has indeed been credited to my NeTeller account. Given comments made by others as to the good reputation of BetFred I am willing to accept some sort of error has occurred. Just how such an error could possibly happen I am not going to worry about on this day of all days.

I must say I'm shocked by what they're trying to do. These guys are a high street bookmaker in the UK and I'm amazed they're trying to pull a stunt like this.

They used to have a rep on this board so hopefully Bryan will have some contact with them.

I played standard BJ in the standard way - no live dealers.

The offending email is pro forma - it is something pre-prepared and sent as a part of the normal course of business. That it why I have done my best to alert the wider on-line gaming community of this organisation.

That they also promote a monthly bonus leaves me in head shaking disbelief. It is surely a trap to attract larger deposits per chance the player loses - or in the event of too many winners - the bonus abuse card is produced.

I have responded to the Casino seeking clarification of the term "bonus abuse" and promising to pursue the matter further until a satisfactory resolution is reached.

sorry, that was the wrong bonus. These are better:


Receive 100% match on your first deposit, up to £100*, with Betfred Casino. Plus, you'll receive a bonus of 25%, up to £50**, through our monthly reload bonus scheme.

The terms and conditions for this offer are as follows:

Bonuses will only be considered redeemed upon wagering completion or when your balance reaches ‘0’. If you make a further deposit before satisfying any of these conditions, you will top up your bonus fund before your cash balance, until you go on to satisfy wagering conditions.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in promotional material, bonus funds are added on the condition that you wager your total deposited funds (deposited funds + bonus awarded) at least fifteen times on non restricted games.
Wagering = 15 x (Deposit + Bonus)


Example: First deposit, you deposit £100 and receive £100 bonus funds.
= 15 x (100+100)
= £3000
