I've been restricted ODM. Thats my post from a couple of months ago. Ignore the fact that I am laying off elsewhere to get the free bets, what I am betting is entirely in line with their T&C's.
I am also aware of people being restricted to pennies on BG Bet. And thats not an exaggeration, it literally is under £1.
The Boyles advert isn't worth the virtual paper its printed on. It would be a surprise if anyone got the entire free bet basket off them, full value anyway.

Gave this a wee tester with an Irish based bookie that are not Paddy Power.
£200 "bet basket". Apparently.
First bet on, loses. Get first £50 free bet, back and lay on horses, bout £43 profit.
You then have to do a set of 5 bets and you will get another free bet to the average of your 5 bets.
So backs ANC game (lost), cricket game twice (void), and other ANC twice (lost). Gets a freebie £50, arbed out on horses, £40 odd profit.
This weekend I bet EPL (winner at 1.57!) and Serie A (winner at 1.33!). Last night I went to do cricket, can't get £50 on, phone CS.
So I phone them and they tell me price is now 1.80, was 2.38 online (?!) and I can have £25. No thanks.
I then try and do some stuff in UEFA Cup (1.33, 1.40 and 1.53). I can't get fuck all on online and I have to phone CS.
They go away to their "traders" who tell me I can have a max of £25 on each game. £25!?!!
So basically my record at this bookies is W2, at odds of 1.57 and 1.33, L4, lost 2 freebies and voided 2 bets. I have bet a total of £400 of my own money and made £45 profit on the two winners. I am down £155 to them.
The lad at CS went back 3 times to "traders" and despite me being £155 down over about 8 bets they won't budge. I mention that they offer a £200 "bet basket" and how is anyone supposed to get £200 in free bets if their accounts are limited after 8 bets? He saw my point but they wouldn't budge.
Now if anyone was doing this as just a punter, and not the way I am, what the fuck are they going to do when their limited half way through the bet basket and can't get a bet on online. On a losing account?!
Bunch of cunts. I would be more angry if this was my first account with them though!
