Not sure why you had to lodge €20, Ken. As per screenshot below I only had to lodge €10... but they sent me another lodge €10 get one tenner free so I lodged another tenner this morning that I'll squander this afternoon!
The one I forgot about is Novibet. They give you 5 free tenners for a real tenner bet... although I had another look at that this morning and curiously it says "full amount awarded on losing first bet only"... I didn't notice that when opening Mrs. Catcher's account (I done mine last year) but her first bet did indeed lose, in fact the yoke could be still running, she's bad luck, no doubt about it!
However she is waiting for a ton back for her tenner. She still has to verify her account, a process that is somewhat more complex than with most other firms requiring driving licence / passport, picture of debit card (obscured) and a utility bill / bank statement. Livescorebet and Tote only needed the driving licence and (believe it or not) Bet365 paid out on her account last year without any verification process being completed... but they seem to be excluding Ireland from welcome offers this year.
