Hills no longer let you bet ante post at the counter, they send you to the machines which are linked to HQ so limits can be automatically applied and of course mine got rejected, thankfully a helpful assistant broke bets down into amounts that were accepted but I'm guessing not every Hills will have helpful assistants.
Be warned....

I found out in March , that it's not so easy to collect another shop's betting slip ., at Will Hills .
Thankfully i also bumped into a Helpful Assistant . He saved me having to go on a 60 mile round trip .
Apparently , They are obliged to pay out their own shops customers first ., and if there isn't enough dollar there .
You have to go to the Shop where you made the Bet. :sour::lemo:.

The way around it is if it’s a bet from their machine just scan the ticket into the machine and press redeem funds as credit then withdraw it. The ticket that then comes out doesn’t show which shop the original bet was placed in, then go collect from the counter. I’ve done it a few times after last Cheltenham as a few shops were being arsey about it not being from their shop.

…..notice Tom Park has taken over from Paul Kealy nominating Weekender daily naps (apologies if mentioned), not somebody I’m aware of.

His nap on Saturday was Calling the Wind 16-1 (morning price) in Northumberland Plate, decent selection.

Is that to cash, or just on that WH card thingy they use?

No I don’t use their “tracking” cards. Just their machines, you can scan your winning slips from any shop (must be a machine slip with the barcode) then redeem and cash it out to get a new slip with your payout on

Excellent so you basically verify your win in any WH machine, anywhere, and then take the verified slip to the counter for either

● cash
or
● sending it to your bank account via a credit on your debit card

I take it you don't get your original betslip back, just a new verified win one?

Not sure about wiring money to cards I haven’t asked that I just present the payout slip for cash as there’s tracking involved with cards. I’m trying to stay off the radar with the shops so tend to collect from different ones and spread it around rather than all at the same shop which leads to red flags if you happen to have a good Cheltenham. You still have your original bet slip as you’re just using the in built scanner to scan the bar code so you can simply throw it away once scanned, you don’t put it into the machine or anything.

I wonder if someone can share some light on this, I was speaking to a punter in a William Hill and he suggesting that any winnings over ?600 resulted in them asking for documents.
 
When did PP stop doing bog? Just saw in promotions bit you have to opt in to get it each day, but doesn't start until 9am the next day drom each day you opt in :cower:

Yeah think you are right, was from 8am the day of the meeting?

But now it seems they want me to opt in the day before? So for me to have got it today I had to opt in yesterday and would only be bog from 9am today, hope that makes sense?

Don't like the way all the perks seem to be going with firms!

Since July 4th they did it for me, got an email asking me if I wanted to still get BOG on the day I had to opt in before July 4th, and its only BOG on bets after 9AM on the day of the race

Cheers PP. Don't seem to get any emails from them. Think my account is linked to old email. At least not just me then! But bound be loads unaware of it! The BOG will be a thing of the past the way things are going

Bet 365 moved from night before to 8am a while back, just after Cheltenham I think. Can't remember if I got an e-mail about that or not. Coral seem to be the best of the major bookies with BOG from midnight.
 
I think BOG could be a thing of the past come Cheltenham 2024 at this rate.
