Just by way of information. my wife recently applied for a betting account (with an herewith unamed organisation) after seeing an add offering 20% bonus on initial deposit, up to $100, i.e. deposit $500 and the $100 was added so your account stood at $600 (subject to the usual turnover rules) after the account was opened customer service rang to say that she was entitled to a free bet to the value of 20% of her initial deposit....... now this is an entirely different thing eg. say you have your free $100 bet and it pays $2 your account is credited with $100 not $200, whereas in the first instance if your $100 (first bet) paid $2 your account would stand at $700. The free bet is still free no dispute but it is NOT the same as 20% bonus which is offered by other organisations, my tips is GO FOR THE 20% BONUS elsewhere rather than the free bet!!

Forgot to say that I invite anyone on this forum to cut and paste the above onto any other forum, and to forward to any contact interested in racing, thereby maybe doing them a favour!!!
