Bet £20 on any sport at Ladbrokes and get £25 cash back and another free £20 bet; at worst you are £5 up!

I am not a seasoned gambler, nor I am condoning it, but if you are or even fancy a little flutter this is a win-win offer.

1) Go via Quidco to Ladbrokes to get £25 cash back.
2). Use code FB50
3) Bet £20 on any Sport
4) Win or lose your £20….
5) Get another free bet of £20
6) Win or lose their £20

At worst you are £5 up, at best you are quids in if your two bets come in.

New customers only.

You can get a free bet of up to £50, however if you lose you are £25 down after cash back.

Cashback via Quidco, mine tracked on the day and was paid 19 days after.

    why do people always go on about quidco when topcashback is better?

    they dont charge you the sneaky fiver that quidco want!

    yes yes I know that all the people say oh but I saved 300 quid and for only a fiver I dont mind.

    Quidco already make a mint from their cut in the deals!

    I'd match bet it to ensure you lock in the freebet.

    I've been using Quidco since 2005 but stopped in 2009 when I came across Topcashback. I've only just started using Quidco again this month as they offered to waive my £5 annual fee to come back but I'm only using them for the odd retailer which Topcashback doesn't offer as I was never impressed by their tracking.

    There are so many reasons why Topcashback are better than Quidco, Bangkokgoer has mentioned most of them but forgot to add that they are more generous (for example, paying above 100% cashback, extra 5% for Amazon payments etc) they have a highest cashback guarantee but I'd also like to re-iterate that the customer service is far better and that's the main reason I'm happy to stick with TCB on the whole. The only good thing about Quidco is that they are cashback pioneers and have often come up with ideas first such as instore cashback and checking in.

    At the end of the day, just ask yourselves this, would you rather earn £500+ a year in cashback with TCB (101%+ cashback) or £490 with Quidco (100% cashback - £5) and spend hours filling out cashback claims and arguing with customer services why they declined your cashback....

    Thread moved to Misc. We do not allow these types of deals due to cashback not being guaranteed.

    With that logic I could fill the forum full of bookies free bet deals. You want to see me do it?

The cashback is simply an extra incentive.If, on the other hand, the deal was "place a bet and get £50 quidco" then fair enough. But it isn't.

    Just done this but bet £50 and waiting for my £50 free bet...too scared to look at the Arsenal result now though

    Be aware that ladbrokes don't always pay out on quidco.

    It's very hard to do it correctly, eg new customers only, then they need details of your account before they look at paying out.

    Then for me, they didn't pay out so I was £20 down.

    Just be warned.

    *Deduct, deduce means to work something out.

    Surely the title should read "At worst, Quidco doesnt track and you're gonna be £20 down!!"

    Anyway, I've got my fingers crossed it does!

    TCB - ability to read feedback before chancing your arm on merchant (transparency).
    TCB - Top-ups.
    TCB - better tracking, Quidco sucks. (really why do people even mention it when TCB offer it??)
    TCB - No fees
    TCB - Payments on request, twice a month on horrid site.
    TCB - Far easier to navigate
    TCB - Free cashback obvious not hidden like awful Quidco
    TCB - Far superior CS
    Need I go on?

    This offer is NOT risk free, especially if going through Quidpoo....

    Yes, once your first bet has been played, win or lose you will get a free bet token for £20 that you must place in one bet, however if you win on this you do not get your £20 stake back.

    What a nightmare I've had with this.Signed up, deposited £20 as I did, … What a nightmare I've had with this.Signed up, deposited £20 as I did, then it comes on-screen that they're unable to verify my age so I must ring 0800 xxx xxx before I continue.That'd be fine, except I dont have access to a land line telephone, and my mobile is PAYG where my top-ups are instantly converted into minutes/texts/internet, so I have no credit to ring the 0800 number.So I e-mail their customer services to see if I can sort it on-line, as the event I want to bet on takes place tomorrow, however they reply that 'due to the high volume of e-mails they're receiving they'll get back to me within the next 48 hours'Wish I'd never bothered.



    One note for the future, if you Google 0800 buster you can call using inclusive minutes.

    It worked well for me. If the quidco tracks I'm up £30. Why couldn't it verify your age? Have you just turned 18?

    Regarding the FB50 code:

    "Members should only use voucher codes listed on Quidco. If you use voucher codes that are not listed on Quidco your cashback may not track or be declined."

    Still hot though! Free bet & free £5! Just wager the £20, cross your fingers for the bet and wait for the cashback.

    TCB has £20.20 cashback, so I guess the 'worst case scenario' is breaking even.

    I already have an account from before so I am not qualified for this but for info, ladbrokes may ask you to send verification documents after you sign up before you can withdraw any winnings.

    You can also get TCB to match Quidco's offer under their Highest Cashback Guarantee:

    As stated in post 14 be very very careful with Quidco and Gambling sites. I spent a couple of years doing matched betting and one thing I can say is that it's very hit amd miss if Quidco tracks and then even more hit and miss if you ever actually receive the funds.

    Awesome, I was going to put £10 on the Steelers to win the Superbowl this season, I can go to £20 for this deal!

    Do you have to wait until your bet is done before you get the free bet? The sup bowl isn't till February...

    Did it earlier, luckily won on the Villa/Fulham draw, Quidco hasn't tracked and I doubt it will.
