I got a a bonus free bet of £10 today. Description was Exchange Bonus Awarded: EXCSOSFOOTBALL. Came into the account at 16:10.

Anyone else get one of these or have any idea what it relates to? I'm all for Betfair giving me free money but a bit random. I haven't placed a football bet since the end of last UK season.

I should also mention I'm on the basic 2% plan, so even more of a mystery.

Yes, I received one a while ago. I think it's random. Don't use it on a market you're trading. The Betfair website will recognize your P/L as a liability-free £10 bet but BA won't, so you can't easily green up.

I got one as well, same ref, and haven't done footy a while. I've had them before when I've been unaffected by whatever issue it was.

Maybe it's the game you lost on Derek?

Now I can see why some companies have a strict rule not to disclose your salary to your colleagues. Giving away free bets of varying amounts is bound to cause jealousy and resentment on a forum.
