See the chat below (the guy kept me waiting so long that it took over an hour!)
CORAL: Hello, Stu. Thank you for contacting Coral Customer Support, you are speaking with xxx. How may I help you?
me: Hi.Last week I bet in the promo that was 25 mon to thur for a free 5 at the weekend. I did not get the 5. I spoke to a chap on chat who said it would be credited today for Cheltenham ... but I've still not had it?
CORAL: Thank you so much for bringing that up, I do apologise for the inconvenience that has caused you and I'd be more than glad to assist you with the free bet query.
CORAL: If I may ask, when did you placed your bets? May I have the Bet ID number associated within this bet? To locate the Bet ID: click on the My Account Icon and click on Bet History. From there you will be able to see the Bet ID. The Bet ID starts with a capital letter 'O'.
me: OK hold on
me: O/13099725/0000030 derby v preston 7/3/17
CORAL: Thank you so much, Stut. Kindly give me 2-3 minutes to pull up and review your account and the bet.
me: np
CORAL: Please accept my apologies for the delay; I will try not to keep you too much longer.
me: np. I know it was the old promo now chelt is here but I think the other chap was just moving it into the new one because I had 'slipped through the cracks'.
CORAL: Thank you so much for patiently waiting, Stuart.
me: np. It was the last week of the propmo. I opted in and wagered as normal but did not get the bet
me: Are you still there?
CORAL: Sorry for the delay, Stuart. I'm still here and checking the details. If I may ask, did you Opted In for this promotion before you placed your bets?
me: Yes. The other chap also checked this which I guess is why he said it would be credited today?
me: Although it should have been at the weekend
CORAL: Thank you so much for patiently waiting, Stuart.
me: np ... you should have a copy of the chat with the other chap which i also left feedback on
me: I was a little upset that it was not credited at the weekend and was rolled into the new promo but accepted it at the time
CORAL: I do apologise for the long delay. Upon checking, you didn't Opted In for this promotion, Stuart.
me: It was the promo that stated bet 25 mondy to thursday and receive a 5 free bet at the weekend. I did opt in prior to placing the bet. On the last chat this was verified by the other chap. he said i would receive the freebet today instead of the weekend. These are the facts of this case.
CORAL: Yes, that is correct. It will credited today for the qualified bets to our customers. But upon checking, on the previous chats, the previous representative only informed you that the free bet will just credited which is today.
me: I DID opt in. I will be doing no further betting with you as you do not honour your promotions.
me: I'm not going to trust you to keep your word in the future and will submit a complaint to the relevant authorities as well as putting this discussion on the net.
me: At least I have no monies with you currently for you to dishonestly withhold!
me: I have copied and pasted this chat ( as I did with the previous one). Please close this account.
CORAL: I completely understand on where you coming from, Stu. But as much as I would like to add the free bet on your account, system will not allow us to do so.

CORAL: I apologise for the inconvenience, I know this is not the outcome you are expecting; however for the bet type we will still follow the one that is included on our Terms and Conditions. I apologise again for the inconvenience. We will not be able to make necessary adjustments as for now.
CORAL: Thank you so much for your time and patience. Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
me: Just to be clear. You understand that the promotion I opted into was the one last week? The one PREVIOUS to your current one ... which is why my original query was at he weekend? That was the one I opted into ... NOT current one.
CORAL: Yes, that is the last week. Bet ID#: O/13099725/0000030. The free bet will be credit today before 1PM.
me: Sorry ... I do not understand. Am I still getting the free bet then?
me: If that's the case ... better late than never! In which case I'll keep the account open and keep playing ...
CORAL: Alright. If in case, you can contact us back for further details regarding within this promotion Bet and Get Club Promotion. We will keep the account open here, Stu as per your request.
CORAL: Thank you so much for your time and patience. Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
