As expected, there have been complications...
First off, only bets on indices, currencies and commodities count. Binary bets don't count. And neither did my Bobl punt. It was so nice of them to mention that in the terms and conditions.
I therefore did some punts on the EURUSD and FTSE. Lost £13 overall punting them. I hate being the price taker rather than the price maker. Anyway, I'm down to £230 from my initial £250 deposit and am hoping the firm pays out on the refer a friend offer. My buddy just did a couple of quick ins and outs and made a couple of quid. I'm hoping to train him up into a proper trader, so hopefully it's a good sign.
