MyStake's free bet promo — did anyone actually clear the wagering?

Tracking thread for the MyStake free bet promotion (the £20 bet boost they ran through March-April). Curious how many folks actually cleared the wagering and got cash out, vs how many got stuck on the conditions.

My experience: deposited £50, got the £20 free bet credit, used it on a single-leg accumulator at minimum 1.7 odds (their requirement). Won the bet. The £20 "profit" then had 5x wagering before withdrawal. Cleared the wagering on more sportsbook bets (took me about 4 days of casual play). Withdrew £43 net via Skrill. Total turnaround: 9 days from initial deposit to cash-out. MyStake processed the withdrawal in 6 hours which is reasonable.

Want to compare: anyone else have a different experience? Did the 1.7 odds requirement burn you? Did the 5x wagering on profit feel achievable or impossible?

Cleared it. Similar deposit (£60), used the free bet on a tennis ITF match at 1.8 odds, won, wagered through the £20 on football accumulators at average 2.1 odds over a week. Withdrew £37. Took longer than your experience because I do small bets, but no friction.

MyStake's free bet promotion is one of the more honest ones — the 5x on profit is genuinely achievable for someone who bets at decent odds. The trap promotions are the ones requiring 30x+ wagering at 1.5 max odds.

Counter-experience: I bombed it. Used the free bet on a single-leg 1.7 odds bet that lost, so my path back to cashable was through the original £50 deposit + zero from the free bet. Wagered 5x my deposit (which technically wasn't required since the deposit was eligible for normal play, not wagering), got bored, deposited again, lost the lot. MyStake obviously isn't responsible for me making bad decisions, but worth pointing out — the free bet's value is entirely contingent on winning the qualifying bet.

Single-leg 1.7 odds bets have a 59% theoretical hit rate. So 41% of takers get nothing from the promotion.
