Having spent the last month trying to break out of a huge wagering requirement I was looking for a bookie that would give me a quick win this time. Fortunately I found a bookie that was offering to match a £25 deposit with no wagering requirements.
The odds on offer were not great for finding good matched bets, but I only had to bet my £25 deposit once before I was credited with another £25. Then it was simply a case of betting the bonus before I could withdraw a £22.19 profit for less than an hours work. This is how matched betting should be done!
*** Nov-08 Update ***
Just received £20 cashback from Quidco taking the total earnings from this bookie to £42.19.
Last month I signed up with another online bookie to continue my matched betting adventure. They offered to match 50% off my first deposit so I signed up, deposited my £150 and waited for the bonus to be credited.
My account was credited with another £75 in a few hours and I set about placing my first matched bets (check out this post if you don’t know what I mean by matched betting). I had another read of the T&Cs to check there were no minimum odds requirements and it was only then that I realised there was a requirement to stake the initial deposit and bonus 5 times before any withdrawal could be made.

Having just returned from a weeks holiday in Spain I was pleased to discover that I had already been paid £11.76 cashback from Quidco for booking one of the hotels I stayed in through Thomson Holidays.
In addition I am also expecting to receive another £4.11 cashback from my travel insurance, £5.47 from airport parking and £1.01 from ordering my currency online with Travelex (to avoid credit card fees always pay with a debit card!).
So in total I should get £22.35 cashback from this holiday, and as I would have booked all these services anyway it really is money for nothing!
Plus whilst I was away I also received 51p cashback from something I purchased online a while back with Tesco.
As part of my Euro2008 Matched Betting challenge I signed up with Cashback Kings as they were offering the most cashback for one particular bookmaker that I planned to sign up with.
The £25 cashback was credited to my account 2 months after I signed up which was a bit slow, but I know this can be down to the merchant rather than the cashback site. Like Quidco, Cashback kings charge an annual fee of £5 so after paying this I was left with £20 which was credited to my account today.
I finally won my battle to claim back my credit card penalty fees today when I received a letter from my credit card provider confirming they would refund the charges in full. The battle commenced back in May when I sent them a letter based on the brilliant templates provided by MoneySavingExpert.com.
