New Sportingbet RAF?

I'm either reading this wrong or it is way too good to be true. Something strange must be going on at Sportingbet.

Of course if anyone is interested I'm happy to refer you for a 75/25 split in your favour, as I have been semi-limited to £100 bets. So can add some risk of linking accounts.

Saw this on chat earlier - ridiculous offer, but has it's faults:

1. Only new MBing people won't have signed up to Sportingbet (generalisation, but probably true). 16 bets for a new person is a lot to do, let alone depositing £1000 and staking £1000!

2. Getting through 16 bets ungubbed may be hard.

Other than that, it's a ridiculous offer - £500 SR bonus is madness!

I really hope that works out for you matey but to be honest I would be very very surprised if you manage to get anything from them. As above, they are generally inclined to limit anyone to peanuts before you can get anywhere with the wagering required to release the bonus for the SUB and the referral bonus itself has some pretty steep wagering requirements:

10. The full amount of the £500 bonus for both Existing Customers and Referred Friends must be wagered at least 10 times on football markets only with minimum odds of 1.5, all within 30 days of receiving your bonus. If the wagering requirements are not completed after 30 days of being credited, the bonus will be removed.

From the way it's worded as well ('The full amount of...') it does sound as though they're suggesting you place 10 £500 bets which would be impossible I would have thought.

They have used this term as a get out a lot in the past as well:

The Scheme is designed for recreational accounts only and will be attributed accordingly. Any accounts deemed to be non-recreational and attempting to abuse the nature of the Scheme will be voided without hesitation. Interactive Sports (C.I.) Limited decision in this regard will be final.

I know because they used it to refuse me a SUB when I signed up there a few years ago! In the end it was only after I complained to the ASA and their regulatory body about their dodginess that they finally gave in and credited the bonus money (although that was after 3-4 months I think).

But good luck to you I hope it works out, would be very nice.

Important question:

concerning the 500 GBP Refer-A-friend offer
https://www.sportingbet.com/t/promos...tatus=referred

Has anybody outside UK tried this, did it work?

I just spoke to Customer support and they confirmed me that this deal is only available to UK and Ireland Residents..

I live in the EU , not in UK and Ireland so the Chat support confirmed to me that the RAF is not available for me, although I already signed up through the link and deposited required amount and verified my age all this work.. and ok... just anybody whos done it and is outside UK please do let me know okay?

Thanks!

It is in the terms, although I dont remember seeing it last time I looked, I could have missed it though

14. All Referred Friends must be aged 18 or over and resident in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.

My comments are above, I just think it's far too good to be true but wish anyone trying it the very best of luck and would be very happy for them if they managed to come out with anything before being limited to peanuts.

Well perhaps, but we had out doubts about the £500 reload, and many got through that OK, just have to wait and see how people go

[AllGone]

From the reload it seems like the RAf could be done without problems; but I agree with munk that it really does seem too good to be true. I might have a friend wanting to do this, so will let people know if it happens
