Credit Karma offers a new way to track your credit score and a unique way to benefit from it

What Company Is Offering:
Credit Karma offers a new way to track your credit score and a unique way to benefit from it. For the first time you can get a truly free credit score with no hidden costs or obligations. Based on your score, you gain access to exclusive offers from companies that value your creditworthiness.


The principle of Karma is common to many beliefs. The general idea is that any action a person takes either positive or negative, will have an inevitable equal effect in the future. Your credit score is kind of an expression of this concept; an index of your credit history: your credit karma. Credit Karma embodies the best parts of these two disparate yet similar concepts to help people stay aware of their Credit Score and gain access to exclusive deals at the same time.

Their services start with a FREE credit score. No credit card is required and no strings are attached. Return as often as you like and use our service to track your credit file and stay informed. Credit Karma believes this is a fundamental consumer right. Credit Karma will continue to provide these FREE credit scores while doing the most to protect your privacy regardless if you use our other services.

How It Works:

When you access the FREE credit score, Credit Karma will show personalized offers to you based on your credit profile . These offers are from advertisers who share our vision of consumer empowerment. If you wish to take advantage of Karma Offers, it is up to you. Credit Karma will never share your information without your consent.

Credit Karma messages are one way broadcasts from our partner companies. Our advertising partners provide personalized offers and Credit Karma matches them with appropriate people, never disclosing the user information unless the consumer responds to the offer. This protects your privacy and allows you to control who receives your data.

Unlike the traditional credit marketing world where businesses buy and sell your personal information without your knowledge and then chase you with offers, Credit Karma tries to give the power and the choice back to you.

BetOnMarkets.com offers fixed odds financial bets

What Company Is Offering:

BetOnMarkets.com offers fixed odds financial bets; i.e. financial bets that pay a fixed amount (or nothing) on expiry. In other words, when you buy a fixed-odds bet from BetOnMarkets.com, you are entitled to receive a payout, which is a fixed multiple of the amount you have staked.

How It Works;

With the BetOnMarkets.com dealing system a client expresses a view and makes a prediction. If the prediction comes true, the client will profit by a predetermined amount. Before any bet is placed, the client knows the entire possible downside as well as the exact possible profit.
However, with most bets, you are also able to sell your bet before the final settlement date to mitigate your losses or take your profits out early. This means that your risk level is clearly defined at all times.[Go to top]



BetOnMarkets.com uses a variety of methods to compute bet prices. Some bets are priced using complex mathematical algorithms, based on option pricing technology whilst others are priced using simpler methods. Our advanced pricing models take into account market implied volatility, the current market quote of the underlying market, expiry date, present market conditions and other contributing factors. Furthermore, prices are weighted according to demand; bets currently in high demand will be priced at a premium to bets in low demand.

A small sales commission is built into the price of all bets. This commission is not constant and depends on the market conditions. To find out the exact commission amount charged on a bet, log into your account and select "Advanced Mode" (situated under the Home menu). Then price a bet as per normal, and click on the link "Further Info." to see the exact amount of commission charged on that specific bet. When you buy a bet, the amount deducted from your account is simply the price of the bet; there are no additional fees?
