Bonus Bet Problem

[crazymike33]

Hi everyone, am hoping someone can give me some useful advice as have a rather pressing problem I need to tend to. I stopped gambling over a year ago due to lack of finances but have recently started again. I signed up with Coral, lost my first bet and won my second free £50 bonus bet. I have since worked up to a balance of around £800. This is all fine, BUT I have just been looking at one of my old email accounts and it appears I already had an account with Coral from over a year ago. So I had already received a welcome bonus and was therefore NOT entitled to the £50 free bet I used to accumulate the £800. Coral have now asked for verification documents and I am extremely worried that they will see my old dormant account and confiscate the whole £800 as I was not entitled to another free bet. Does anyone have any experience of Coral and what they are likely to do in this situation. I am considering trying to get rid of the balance by hedging on Betfair but I could end up in a worse position than before... Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks


John

I really don't know what they will do, but Coral isn't the best place to make such mistakes. You have to contact them, try hedging with betfair isn't a good idea I think because as you said you could lose much more money and then you will lose your own money also (now only the money you made out of the free bet). Contact them and be straight forward, but I think they will confiscate everything. This is because you won everything with the 50 pound free bet..

Good luck John, I'll hope the best for you.
