Post: # 853558Post saintsrus »

All members will be receiving a thank-you letter from the club with a $50 betting voucher from clubbet

To redeem it, you must join up on phone or online and call them and ask for sales, they will apply the $50 credit to your account the same day. It cant be done online.

I'm glad to see the club getting in on potential betting revenue.

Most betting agencies offer some sort of affiliate deal, my site for example uses sportsbet and like club bet they provide a $50 free bet for those who sign up through our site.

Has saintsational ever considered advertising to cover some costs? Something as simple as adsense would make a difference.

That's interesting, are there any catches?

Say I make the 50$ bet and win 500 back, can I call it a day, withdraw my money then close my account, are there fees or anything like that?

you don't get the $50 you placed the bet with back. Only the winnings, encouraging you to go the long shot.

and

I think you have to turn over the winnings as well (ie re bet and win again)

but a free bet is a free bet lol.

I'm hoping (for the benefit of my site) lots of people click on the sportsbet banner on my site come cup day. I mean who doesn't want a $50 free bet on Cup day haha.

You have to give the $50 back once you get a collect over $50.

I called the number on the voucher and they told me to set up the account online and someone from their sales department will call me. So I set it up. If they don't call tomorrow, I will call them.

If the club wants to thank us , why don't they just give us $50 off our membership ! I'm lucky , i'm able to gamble responsibly , thousands of people in this state carn't. Exposing people to potential ways of losing large amounts of money , is not something the football club should be involved with.

It's a disgrace. Phony "gift" and introducing many to gambling.

Agree totally, I thought this club ridded itself of two bit hustlers, gamblers and conmen on the 12/9/06.

It is morally reprehensible to promote and encourage gambling by enticing members to potential dangers they might hopefully otherwise ignore.

I don't think it is karmically sound for the St Kilda Football Club to be distributing this junk and my voucher went straight to the trash can where it belongs.

Interesting reaction. Fair enough though. To each their own.

So... you'd rather take $50 away from the club, rather than take a FREE bet from another organisation?

Bit selfish isn't it??? :roll:

Why is it selfish for members to want a $50 'thank you' in the form they prefer. Members give to the club in many ways - what's wrong with the club giving something real back :shock:

Many betting agencies offer 'free' $50 or $100 free bets for people to join - so is the club really giving something free :roll:

I would rather the club give something folks can use, than to promote gambling..........

If they win in Round 52, 2009, the club can have all my money. And that's my 2 cents worth :!:

It should have been in the form of a facsimile $50 note on one side and the details on the other side. It is a separate leaflet to the "Be your own Boss" leaflet.

If the club gives everyone $50 off their membership, that's more than $1.5 million the club will not get next season.

Think about it FFS.

Exactly...and there was a $10 voucher for the Merch shop in the letter anyway :-)

As long as you know you don't get the principal when you take one of these offers up which I was dumb enough not to pick up myself for another free bet offer it is OK. However the realilty is most people are like me which means it is bordering on a legal misrepresantation.

It's one per account. You don't need the voucher. Just mention "Saints Premiership Promotion"
