    A series of possibly new Ts&Cs have appeared. Now you can only claim one promotion, and for the £100 promotion blackjack stakes must be a minimum of £10. Whether that will stop it working we shall see... I am attempting it, balance is £116 after the 400 hands of blackjack, so not a prob either way.

    Definitely legit - just follow the instructions. Isaac, the T&Cs look the same to me:
    Nothing about £10 stakes in there. Also, the "only one free chip" refers to the £20, £50 and £100 offers they have going. The £30 promotion is separate and also eligble for existing Ladbrokes customers (whereas the first ones are not).

    One caveat / word of warning though: do this at your own risk and don't do it if you can't afford to lose £100. Ladbrokes must soon realise that this has got out onto the net and I'd assume that they're losing money hand over fist on it so they may well close the loophole at any time. What they may well do (if it's legal) is insist that you play your promotion bonuses through the Casino at least once (potentaially losing them). Even if they do that though you're extremely unlikely to lose more than a fiver.

    Michael.

    OK so I may have had a little too much red wine, but where under the promotions page do I enter my email address? All I seem to get are pop up boxes telling me what I can claim, not actually how to claim it.

    Oh well made on all the bets I put on, shame I can't use my Swedish accounts though:mad:

    That's the T&C now.

    Even if I don't get the bonuses, I'm still £16 up, so that's ok, but if I'd stop at 220 deals, I'd have been £47 up...

    I think with the new Ts&Cs it no longer works. I'm waiting for the £100 bonus to turn up, which it hasn't yet. I think it won't because the blackjack stakes need to be over £10 for this to work now.

    i qualify for the £20 bonus not the £100 as i only played 100 games - the default setting which i missed changing - instead of 400. so £20 for having played at least 80 games.
    waiting for that now ....

    £30 bonus arrived
    converted to chips in casino bank, withdrew back as cash to ladbrokes a/c, withdrew back to card in ladbrokes homesite

    balance = £10.50 profit.

    got the £20 too, net profit £30.50
    software now uninstalled
    thanks 4 the tip

    I've now received the £30. Another of the current Ts&Cs says that you can't claim more than one of hte promotions...

    If you have more than one Credit Card or Debit Card and email addies, can you play more than once?

    T&C for £100 Free Chip state, "Please note that when playing Blackjack only individual bet stakes of 10 chips or greater will contribute to the minimum stake required to qualify for this offer."

    Shouldn't this £100 free chip also be claimed (in addition to the £30 Bonus) for the system to work?

    :confused: :confused:

    Just got a 'Message of the Day' pop up that said, “**Up to £100 free for new customers**
    There has never been a better time to become a real player where, for a limited period only, first time real players get up to £100*!

    "Please note that when playing Blackjack only individual bet stakes of 10 chips or greater will contribute to the minimum stake required to qualify for this offer.â€Â
    :confused:

    Any comments?!

    Yes. In other words, they've closed the loophole. This is what I was trying to point out...

    Isn't it still possible to win? Would £10 stake instead of £1 stake make any difference? :confused:
    I deposited £100 and converted them to chips but hasn't played yet

    Well I did it. I inadvertently put on £3 stakes rather tha £1 stakes (and as a result am not eligible for the £100 bonus because of the new £10 minimum stake HOWEVER. The £50 bonus has no such limit (deposit £50, play up to £200, no min stalke on blackjack). I have just successfully claimed the £50 bonus.

    I'm not too upset as it seems my luck was in - on £3 stakes after 400 games I quit £186 up, so I'm now £236 in profit.

    I am never doing this again though!!!

    On the downside - my mate Matt also did it having seen me rake it in made an £80 loss he hasn't claimed his bonuses yet, but even if he can successfully claim the £50 he's £30 down. We used the same machine and I suspect it knows and won't pay out as a result (The T&Cs now say that you can't use the same machine, but I'm sure it didn't say that when we started).

    Anyway I agreed after winning to cover any loss he might make so he should come out evens anyway.

    Deadline for the £30 bonus was midnight last night. So I decided to give it a go.

    £10 stake; Blackjack in 'auto' mode. After a few wins, number of 'busts'. So I stopped, logged out, cleaned out the hard disk with 'Clean Space 8', re-booted and started the 'auto' mode. Same thing! Few wins then a series of busts.

    So I stopped and repeat the cleanup procedure. Had to do it 3 times to complete the required amount. Finished up with +£135. Plus £30 bonus and £100 that is in my account now. Nett profit of £265 and lot of fun
    :)

    Many thanks to Paul and others for their help and advice :D

    The catch is to get people to get hooked into gambling. I am deleting the casino program from my hard disk!

    Careful!

    Terms & Conditions state:

    "For this promotion, the bonus amount must be staked at least four times prior to withdrawal."

    This applies to both £100 and £30 bonus.
    This amount will be shown in your account but can not be withdrawn. You can withdraw only winnings you may or may not get.

    So it is a gamble, nothing is guaranteed and you could very well lose the £100 you deposited!

    That's what the e-mail I got said aswell, but there's nothing to stop you converting your bonus into chips and then converting those chips back to money (without having played anything) and then withdrawing it. By going through the chips you've effectively "laundered" it. Unless they've written some very hasty and probably not that straightforward changes to the software there's nothing they can do to prevent that

    However, they will bar you from future promotions if you do that.

    Michael.

    I just did that :)
    I had £113 left over from the £130. It is now showing as having gone to my VISA. But it doesn't show up in the VISA account as yet. May be it will take a few hours.
    Thanks :)
