08/03/08
Sky Bet is launching the Sky Bet Cheltenham Club
,
which brings amazing offers and concessions to all Sky Bet Customers over the
four days of the Cheltenham Festival - Tuesday, March 11 through to Friday, March
14.
* FREE CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP BET*
Any Sky Bet client who is out of luck over the first three days of The Festival will receive 25% of stake money on any losses back as a FREE bet in the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday.
* PRICEWISE GUARANTEE IN OPERATION EACH DAY OF THE FESTIVAL *
Once again, the Racing Post Pricewise guarantee will operate on each day of The Festival, meaning that Sky Bet promises to hold prices on all Pricewise races from 8.30am each day. This concession will last for one hour for customers using the interactive red button facility, 30 minutes for telephone customers and 15 minutes for online customers.
* 110 PER CENT BOOK ON SELECTED RACES *
Sky Bet will be offering a 110 per cent book on selected races on each day of The Festival, meaning customers will receive the very best value. Each-way terms are 1/4 the odds on ALL races with enhanced place terms offered on selected races.
* totepool CASHBACK *
For any customers who wish to make use of totepool bets (totejackpot, toteplacepot) Sky Bet will be offering these at a discount of 15 per cent (10 per cent for toteexacta bets).
* WATCH ALL CHELTENHAM RACES LIVE AT skybet.com *
Those unfortunate enough not to be able to watch the races live or on television need not fret as anyone who has a bet with Sky Bet on any Festival race will be able to watch the race in question on their PC. The minimum stake to use this service is just 10 pence. At www.skybet.com customers will also be able to access all the latest statistics, form, video previews and results.
* WIN A 32" SONY TV & LOTS OF OTHER GREAT PRIZES IN DAILY TIPSTER COMPETITION *
Customers also have the chance to win some fabulous prizes without having to risk a penny in the daily tipster competition. The competition, accessible through www.sportinglife.com, requires customers to select a horse in each Cheltenham race that day and a fantasy £1 bet will be placed on each of these.
Prizes will be offered on a daily basis with a £200 free bet up for grabs while the customer lucky enough to come out on top over the four days of The Festival will win a 32-inch Sony TV, Sony home cinema system, Sky HD Box and 12 months subscription to top entertainment package, Sky World.
* FREE BET GIVEAWAY *
Anyone placing a bet of £5 or more before The Festival starts will qualify for Sky Bet 's fantastic free bet giveaway. Free bets will range between £5 and £500 and will be added directly to customers' accounts.
Keep an eye on your account, as free bets must be redeemed by 6.00pm on the same day they enter a customer's account.
Finally, anyone who opens a new account with Sky Bet before March 15 will have their opening bet matched by Sky Bet with a free bet of your choice up to the value of £50. Just quote the promotion code "Club".
All existing account holders automatically qualify for the benefits of the Sky Bet Cheltenham Club. New customers can register online at www.skybet.com, by telephoning 08000 724 777 or by pressing the red button when watching any Sky channel.
* EACH-WAY TERMS *
Each-way terms are 1/4 the odds on ALL races with enhanced place terms offered on selected races.
