If you have an existing Kayo account or set up a new one there is a promo for today only for free kayo for a year. Go to 'my account' and under subscription and billing there is a voucher section, the code is 'WATCHKAYOF1' and it will update your details for free for a year
Anyone who got a free subscription willing to share a slot?
But you won't…
I feel bad for on call guys who are working for kayo, they had to login and fix the glitch on weekends :) , the traffic and auth request must be their highest ever :)
AWS would've been noticed it
aws might have informed them
Maybe it was the night shift dude playing around in DEV and migrated it to prod
could be some devs generating code for themselves :) for a year , that too all their products at once
It would have been a code given to the guests of their F1 Corporate box. Someone just leaked it.
Well they mobile phone code/auth doesn't work well so maybe they should check that out now. Should have displayed a different error if server load prevented authentication.
Anyone that got lucky with access to either willing to share? Can msg me privately :)
looks like its fukd good and proper, non of them are working, this is what i get for not checking ozbargain every hour..
Offer expired
Its got covid now.. offer fked
I missed out on all of them… I guess the pirate life was made for me.
Hark lad! That be the high seas calling ye
missed out (profanity) surely this will get cancelled for alot of people
Anyone mind sharing their login with me? Missed it :(
Is F1TV available in Australia? I just wanna watch the driver's pov
Not at the moment thanks to Murdoch
Jesus christ don't neg just because you were too slow to snare the deal
I wasn't slow, been trying for the past two hours. It never worked for me. Definitely negged.
Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it this wasn't an exceptional bargain.. Try convincing the other >1k people that snagged this beauty up
Not a deal if it never worked
Because it's all about you? Sad
Don't worry OP. Even if the three deals aren't honoured to the full 12 mths (we shall see) you're a champion for posting this deal.
The people who got in early had no issue.
quite a few reddit users salty about getting their sub revoked and I just want to say this to them.
A lot of deals posted on here have been similarly obtained from smaller threads. and i'm pretty sure you would have utilized them whenever you found it convenient. :)
P.S thanks OP for sharing the deal here. my kayo and binge are still going without any issues.
Thats the way
a week later Kayo and Binge still active. Your finest work yet, OP 👌
@bman20 With this one deal, OP has contributed and helped more than you ever did in the lifetime of your account. Good job being creepy stalking OP's reddit and ozb accounts looking for dirt, and trying to belittle OP for being an active contributor. You and your reddit playgroup can go jump.

Just got this email
Hi whitelie,
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to complete your subscription yet because we couldn’t process your payment. To help get you into Kayo without any more delays, simply click on the button below and enter your valid payment details.
Just a heads up, any promotional vouchers or gift cards you were using will need to be entered again during the sign up process. Make sure you have them handy.
Still working though 🤷♀️
Hahahhaha what a stitch up! This is such a perfect way to null and void all of those who got through. Yikes!
My Account loads now but doesn't have anywhere to put payment info lol
Got the same email too. Saw the email after the code expired so can't use the code anymore.
Dunno if there is a pattern to it. Anyway, telling myself ..better luck next time. Lol
Just made it for the binge one, phew better then nothing. Company just boosting subscribers prior to end of financial year i suspect, don't want a Netflix shock to the shareprice.
Does it actually still work?
nah not anymore i think, have been trying to get the kayo but not working
Watch your inbox.

Some seem to being offered a 3mth trial, which would be nice!
missed out!!!
so, f**** annoying!!!
The admin over at Markdown Addicts on fb shared it around the time it died in the ass. No credit given to reddit or ozbargain as usual…
Go ahead, shoot me, but none of you will be getting this deal. Watch this space
You 'knew' yet you wasted 2 hrs of your life AND ranted about it….right…
@cashless: Well you wrote 'none of you will get this'.
So if you knew no one will get it, why'd you waste 2 hours?
It's ok, you can be bitter now and then.
3 months free is still better than missing out.
@mbck: FFS. What’s the harm in a little rant every now and then?
At least I can still watch the Sailing for free😀
And where’s your + vote for the deal?
Anyone feeling generous? Wanna share there login ):
Was this just a scam for them to get phone numbers and email addresses to spam?
Jumped through all the hoops and eventually got there but it went from free to $18 per month again.
I just changed my spare mobile number to one digit offset from the real number after I failed to get a freebie. Jokes on them! LOL
They verified mine :(
I couldn't get past the 6 digit verify code. :( So sad, but the /r/AFL on reddit is saying people are getting emails saying the code was in error and they're revoking the freebie…. so i dont feel that bad i missed out.
@digitalterrorist: havent got the email yet, I was a current subscriber though. Hopefully they only target new people :D
Anyone got access they can share please would help my family budget?
didn't work. couldn't get past mobile verification.
Here one of you can have a free two months via VB Code. First in first served. Please mark as TAKEN when used. You need a new Mobile number to activate :-)
Code: V3VNjzRcoV
Haven't taken it but good on you for giving it out, nice thing to do.
used it! thanks borg!!!
I also used it… thanks
Only one person can use it. First in would have won. I hope you didn't steal it away from "kzsv" who noted as "used it" :-)
@Borg: "Used it! thanks borg!!!" It was already used like he pointed out. I was just joking, mate :)
used thanks!
Thanks, taken
I also got an email. that was quick..
Unfortunately, the code you signed up to Kayo with 'WATCHKAYOF1' was produced by mistake and not intended for 12 Months of Free Access. We have revoked this from your account, but we are happy to extend your trial to 3 months to enjoy and experience all the great sport Kayo has to offer. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
HEHE
Damn, so they didn't honor it? Bastards.
Will only show in their quarterly report to share holders as active subscribers on a 12 months HD premium plan.
I never got a confirmation email (reactivated an old account on both Binge and Kayo) and haven't gotten a revoking email yet either - things still seem to be working but I imagine they'll get to me soon. Can't access my account details to check due to errors either. 3 months would still be nice honestly
mine works havent got a confirmation email either. but logged in and watching stuff
hmm bummer.
I do not have this message yet..
Was this for a new account / expired acct or existing.
My expired one still looks fine and my existing one also shows the new details still.
Only reason i ask is that its easier to filter on the new accounts and expire those deals.
Offer a discount code.
Let 1000s of people to sign up
Don't honour the deal
Get free marketing and promotion
Nice plan Kayo.
Pretty sh*tty promotion if you ask me.
Could be their way of telling that they have increased the price. haha. Many in the comments noticed the price change thing :)
better than nothing
not working 😓
Looks like we’ve all been sucked in, chewed up and spat out.
BS deal
lol. just randomly got one tab thru
'That's a wrap!
You are now logged in using this email'
but nothing confirm it is working. will try later tommorrow to see if it really work!
The level of entitlement in this thread is hilarious.
IKR, better than watching live sports
You should check the binge thread with the entitled threatening to contact accc
Wow, I swear some people have the emotional iq of a rock
The offered 3 months ($75 worth) for free to those that managed to get it is bloody decent in my opinion. Hell of a lot better than the default 2 weeks trial, that's for sure. As for all of us that failed, well the challenge of trying to get it was fun (sort of) while it lasted :-)
Nothing here, 3 months is still good though.
If it is 3 months, I'll take it, it's free.. much better than nothing and will survive until just about the start of finals footy.
If the offer is revoked entirely, well, tough luck, it was probably done in error. But there should be some sort of law that prevents companies from keeping the data acquired for a revoked offer. Its an unfair exchange if you ask me, even if it was unintentional.
It could have been unintentional or just a scam to collect verified phone numbers and email address.
Emails were verified.
spam email account ;)
Reminds me of the coffee deal that the owner agreed to have put on OzBargain a few months back, only to reneg and mass email in batches of 100 sharing everyone's email.
Well they only got the data we gave them.. I wonder how many Qwerty Qwerty at 0412345678 are now on their Database?
Got this email and subscription back to unpaid.
"Unfortunately, we weren’t able to complete your subscription yet because we couldn’t process your payment. To help get you into Kayo without any more delays, simply click on the button below and enter your valid payment details.
Just a heads up, any promotional vouchers or gift cards you were using will need to be entered again during the sign up process. Make sure you have them handy."
Ditto. Binge got revoked too.
I got this instead:
Thanks for joining Kayo Freebies.
"You now have access to a selection of live sports, entertainment shows and documentaries - all for free. There will also be many more events coming up down the track.
If you’d like full access to Kayo to enjoy over 50 sports LIVE and on-demand you can upgrade at any time by visiting My Account.
Thanks,
Team Kayo"
So no 3 Months as others have reported.
New or existing member?
Existing
New Email used.
I got that email, the billing and subscription section only had "Freebies" with no option to change it but still have full access to everything…
Thank you Op see how long it lasts. :)
The comments section is hilarious, didn't get any of kayo or binge, but reminds me of the comments section back in amazon US prime day 2019, they had a glitch for a lot of high-end cameras, I ended with a Sony A6500 with 16-50mm lens for around 100 bucks.
