    Hi lads,

    I've been using PaddyPower since I started gambling online, always found the money back stuff and odds decent... Customer service is good too.. but,
    All their recent promotions seem to be casino/game related, where to be entered into a draw you need to deposit a certain amount and stake it a certain amount of times... like one recently would work out as if you deposited €100 you would need to turn it into €5,000 to be in with a chance to win...


    Recently signed up to BoyleSports for their Ireland jersey promotion, I deposited €30 and bet it on Liverpool :)D) with the intention of getting the jersey, withdrawing all the cash and never returning to the website again.

    So when I signed in to check my bets, I saw they had given me €20 in free bets for signing up with them to use as I liked...

    Then I got an e-mail saying because I bet on the Chelsea - Liverpool game I qualified for their Free bet offer, so they gave me back €30 in free bets on top of the €20...

    So I found myself with €50 in free bets... lol


    Anyway, Just wondering if anyone has been with BoyleSports a bit longer than me (a week) and do they always do great promotions like that?

    Or am I better off staying with PaddyPower?

    Sorry for the long essay, nothing better to be doing with my time :eek:

    I voted for PP, but I have ladbrookes and betfair accounts too. Misses out on the jersey offer with boyles so didn't bother setting one up. I use to play poker on pkr too best one there is, but easier to make money on PP

    You will have an account balance... so let's say you deposit €10.. that's your balance.

    If you won €100, you would have a balance of €110... It's up to you whether or not you want to withdraw, and how much you want to withdraw.

    Usually takes 2-3 days to go through... but can be quicker

    You can withdraw to bank account, paypal, CC and I think they can send a cheque too...

    No it's a seperate company set up by investors as far as I know, i think Andy Black the Irish poker player has a stake in it

    I tend to only lay to cover my own bets, what markets to you lay?
