SiPie your being a bit holier than thou on this!
Had a big gambling problem from age 18-23 and feel qualified to comment on this one mate...
ie. it's now 12 years on and I can't (although happily wouldn't) put 20p in a fruit machine.
Cheers

I worked this out using basic year 7 mathematics,
i.e: 1hr = 60mins = 2x30mins
you say you earn £100 in 30 minutes, therefore I calculated that you earned 2x£100 (£200) per hour.
Now have I made that simple enough for you?
Or are there enough words of more than one syllable in there for you to be able to misinterprete to your own ends?

SiPie I fully understand where you are coming from but it doesn't appear that anyone did this and got hooked. Like I said I was tempted to continue playing but thought about why I was playing and that I was in it just to play the game by the t&c's which was to make a bet and then claim your free credit and walk away. The only risk here was if Ladbrokes didn't pay out.
This was more about exploiting an offer than actaul gambling.

Just feel that some won't be able to restrict their usage to that...great if you can, but I feel some will get drawn in

Mate at work is going to take his 100 credits and play the 400 games again (to comply with 4 times the value for further promotions) and see what happens. Then if he comes off ok he can carry on claiming the special offers. I've warned him but he is a gambler anyway and wants to continue to be able to get freebies. I bet he comes in tomorrow quids in the jammy git!
He tried to persuade me to do the same but im taking mine straight out when I get home before he changes my mind

I too followed the instructions for this and am now £98 better off (money IS in my account). I deposited the £100, changed to chips, played 400 games (on auto deal), and the £100 ended up at £98. I claimed my £100 back, and after 24hrs received an e-mail declining my £100, with no actual reason, but just a list of possible reasons, all of which were not valid, as i had fulfilled the T&C`s as far as I could see. Then a few hours late, I received another e-mail, saying that the £100 was to be paid after all, as due to my previous e-mail explaining that i was a student , in shared lodgings with shared computer network access (something to do with IP addresses, as to why it had been declined - i.e. several claims for the same IP address).
S o I got the money.... however....
1) I am not a student and am in full time employment
2) I am not in shared accomodation and only have 1 internet IP address
3) I never sent any e-mail to Ladbrokes
Mmmmmm!! someones "scamming" and it not me!!
Be Careful if you go for this!

B2Z, please report back tomorrow. Am very interested in how this turns out. Am wondering if the software will be more 'mean' when it comes to the next round of games?

I said that to him but he said its impossible for them to do that and if they were caught they would be in huge ****. IE enticing people to play by having an "easy" round to then make subsequent rounds far more difficult to win. I have to say I was tempted just because I was up after my 400 games so could end up with more than the £100 a second time round but then as others on here have lost a substantial portion of thier initial £100 I will keep what I have He was down to £98 on his initial £100 and he fancies a gamble on his free 100 chips as he likes gambling (small amounts at a time). He will have to lose the lot on the 400 games to lose overall (which no one has done yet) and even then he will only be £2 down with the other free 30 chips to play as well.

I found it was much harder on me after the initial 400 games. Came out of that 36 quid up (having only been below 100 for about 10 hands), the next 350 (ish) games left me 30 quid down (having peaked at 45 briefly) with me being down from about the 40th hand onwards.
It could be just luck, but I'd rather not take the risk and will take my remaining 100 and run. I tried to fulfill the 400 game requirement, but just couldn't manage it

Scoobytravis - lots of people, including me, got that e-mail, so I replied to it asking about my account apparently having been hacked
I got a reply apologising, telling me that e-mail had been "sent out in error".
Lots of people got it. Ignore it, and cash your £130 in. You may find you have to change your £100 into chips and then back again before you can withdraw it..

It's really quite simple you know.
It is all about getting what you came for then getting out. Nothing else!!
You bet the original £100, claim the £100 and the £30 freebies then get out. Best profit I saw was over £250 and worse was £60.
It's all legal and above board. Ladbrokes will lose 'X' in one hand but gain 'Y' in the other from all the people that now gamble online as a direct result of this very idea. Believe me that 'X' will be a fraction of 'Y' !!
The winners are:
1. Ladbokes!! The house always wins.
2. The people who make the guaranteed quick profit then do not return.
The losers are:
## The people who will go back and bet further, be it short or long term ##
So you see, people on here that have made a few quid have done a good thing. The sceptics are quite rightly sceptical but in this case have no cause to be. The people that go back and bet further make all of this possible for the rest of us......I have shares in BAT (Brit/American Tobacco). So, keep smoking!!! You get me??
Over and out.
P.S. This is a car site so....1990 Metallic grey Porsche 944 Turbo. Lapped the Ring in a sub 10 minute after only doing 8 laps on my first visit. I'm happy with that!!

for those that are struggling with the £30/£100 offers:
they pay the £30 first, meaning that theoretically you have only deposited £70 towards the ton.
£100 deposit - £30 to claim £30 of free chips = £70.
change up another £30 to make it a total deposit of £130, ie enough to cover the £100 and the £30.
some seem to have had both paid out no worries, on others they are sticking to the t&c's and require a total of £130 deposited.
Im alright Jack cos the money cleared into my account this morning and the software is off the pc, I also checked all the right boxes to NOT receive any info or future offers.
re: those who didnt stop, I think BeemerBoy carried on playing but only with the free chips so didnt lose any of his(?) own money and received enjoyment in lieu of cash.
The only potential downfall of ladbrokes is that they consider changing chips onto the casino table to be gambling the free money, thereby allowing punters to quickly change it back and take the loot and run, a lot of others have stipulated that all the free money must be bet and only the winnings on this can be claimed.

same as a cheque, 3-5 working days although in the most part it seems to be the next working day.
its all smiles here now, although when you click *start* on the autoplay button my browneye was gripping the seat like a bar-steward
likewise when I cashed in awaiting the banks response, but fair play to ladbrokes they duely coughed up.
