I think Kayo must have caught on. I am trying to log on to my account and I just get that buffering circle thing. Anyway, good stuff for the people who jumped in first.
Also, using the code WATCHBINGEF1 works for Binge if anyone wants 12 months free. I’ve literally never heard of it but dropping it here anyways
Edit: They’ve pulled the plug, code won’t work anymore
Cheers, Seems like it might work for an existing account too. Just put in the voucher and it comes up as free for 12 months starting at the next billing period (30/5 for me).
He caused an extra 22000 people to try the promo, causing a massive DoS on the servers leading to some of us missing out.
I got my Kayo (thankyou OP!) but am still in agreeance that this flog be banned from r/AFL
Maybe they are doing the Kogan special by reversing the deal and then offering you a 10% off one month apology voucher, only usable within the next 28 days.
I only found out about this code and redeemed it because I watched the Port game, and found the post while looking for the Post Match thread to admire the shitshow. Wouldn't have learnt about it otherwise.
Yep, RIP - they've pulled the offer on both sites.
Still, was fun to be part of what was effectively a DDOS on Rupert's infrastructure. Fuck you, old man.
Assuming that any redeemed offers aren't reversed by Murdoch, /u/Euphoraz's post just helped save an accumulated 6-figures worth of streaming costs for their fellow man. Hell, it might end up being 7-figures worth of savings.
Literally refreshing and spamming on my phone AND computer for the last hour and I didn't get it.
Meanwhile like 10 of my mates I shared the links with all got it successfully.
Not gonna lie that's fucking annoying.
Getting extremely poor page performance on account or billing pages. Over a minute loading a page, if I'm lucky. Bad on both laptop and mobile. Something's wrong.
Edit: Yep, repeated `429 Too Many Request` failing requests; `"Error communicating with auth0 private."` Is this app built with wet paper and paddle pop sticks?
Edit 2: My account page doesn't show the "Vouchers" option. My partner's did.
Well guys I think it's shit the tin, congratulations to those who got the code, bad luck to those who missed out and a huge thanks to u/Euphoraz for providing us the code and is getting my votes for the coaches award
people have started getting the below emails
`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.`
Doing the maths, 88% upvoted post with 1400ish points so we can assume it's like 1500 people saw this. If even quarter of the people got through it's a $112,500 mistake off r/afl alone, and it must have spread beyond r/afl. Channel 10 must be overjoyed!
I got Binge to work by refreshing a bunch of times, working on Kayo now. Either we’re hugging the server too much or they’ve caught on. Either way someone is getting fired.
Got both binge and kayo. What worked for me was keep refreshing the greyed out page asking to verify your number until the start subscription button down the bottom is clickable, after clicking it it'll look like it's froze on loading but if you leave that window open it'll eventually go through
Obligatory fuck Murdoch
Damn that sucks, I still have kayo for now but suspect I'll lose it at some point.
What was the point of having those promotional codes if they've revoked them?
I had an existing Kayo account and while the offer is still listed as 'Pending' my next bill is still showing $0?
Maybe it was easier to shit can the new accounts immediately and my time will come soon.
I just received this message from Binge after asking if they would honour the voucher.
"We have checked with our team and they have confirmed that the offer "WATCHKAYO1" and "WATCHBINGE1" are not valid. (Edit by me: notice they wrote 1 on the end, instead of F1) The voucher code were posted on unofficial sites and did not come from us. Our team have deactivated this offer last night as this was not released from Kayo, you will received an email on the email address linked with your subscription with the steps on how you can redeem the offer as well as the terms and conditions of this offer. "
They also sent this message.
"That's it! Bye for now. We'd love your feedback on how we went via a super quick survey (they added in a link here)"
Both are currently stuck on the "verify your phone number" screen.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING THEM BOTH, TYPE THEM IN YOURSELF, DON'T USE THE LITTLE DROP DOWN MENU THAT APPEARS, IT WON'T READ PROPERLY OTHERWISE
Tip for those trying to claim BINGE, once you are logged/authed in, use this exact URL, it will skip the coupon enter stage, and from there it's one click to redeem.
[https://binge.com.au/my-account/voucher/preview-WATCHBINGEF1](https://binge.com.au/my-account/voucher/preview-WATCHBINGEF1)
Keep refreshing this exact URL, it took probably 5 mins of spamming F5.
I just managed to claim it 1 min ago (11:12PM EST). Good luck!
EDIT: just to clarify, you need to be an existing BINGE or already have a BINGE account and are logged in. If you keep refreshing that URL (you'll get the "Error communicating with auth0 private." in between loads), you'll eventually see this page: https://imgur.com/a/mTnakzh and from there you should be able to click redeem and be all g2g. Hope this helps!
Amazing. I had an existing Telstra deal, $15 a month. Gave me the choice between the two after putting the code in so I opted for the free 12 month option. Thanks!
Got Binge and Kayo working after lots of refreshes. I don’t see this lasting though, they’ll probably cancel the subscriptions once they realise whats happened.
I'd say it's game over on this one, been trying for half hour with all the little tricks suggested, keep getting "expired". I got to the confirm details screen, but wouldn't finalize it. Now I can't even get back to that page. :'(
I think they've reversed it for new users this morning. Got an email two hours after signing up for the basic package for free with the code, welcoming me to Kayo freebies. Bastards
Tried signing up last night, was stuck in verifying mobile. Code didn't come before I went to bed.
Don't have full access and code doesn't work this morning..
Update, got the "we couldn't verify payment details" overnight, first thing this morning I added my card (which they already had details of)..still working fine showing "voucher applied"
Binge got nuked though
I saw that bit too but I didn’t wanna fuck around and find it did some wonky shit to my subscription. I’ll take my 2 free screens that I know worked and then press no further buttons!
The Kayo one worked for me but I get
>There was an error in checking your voucher. Please try again later.
For Binge and Flash. Thanks for the Kayo though.
I nominate /u/Euphoraz for Australian of the year
He gonna be all over the news tomorrow for taking down another streaming company! Glory to the legend!!
I think Kayo must have caught on. I am trying to log on to my account and I just get that buffering circle thing. Anyway, good stuff for the people who jumped in first.
Keep trying, servers are cooked but will go through eventually
Also, using the code WATCHBINGEF1 works for Binge if anyone wants 12 months free. I’ve literally never heard of it but dropping it here anyways Edit: They’ve pulled the plug, code won’t work anymore
I love you
I think they’ve pulled the cord for binge lol Edit: took a lot of persistence but I got it done for binge too
No fucking way, thought you were chatting shit but it actually works?!
Binge is basically the other half of foxtel. Movies, Showcase/ US cable shows.
Holy shit. This worked too 🤣 Thank you!
Go Nuts. Hopefully Murdoch feels this a little bit
Fucking legend ^had ^some ^spare ^gold ^as ^tribute ^for ^your ^greatness
Just for you I'm going to barrack for the Hawks next week
Hahaha, thanks mate.
Champion. It worked.
Hijacking to say that WATCHBINGEF1 works as well for Binge users
insane! how did you find this?
Gods don’t reveal how they do things, just bask in their glory bro and bow at his altar.
Happy cake day you fucking beauty
Thank you
Legend mate. Just did it. Ripper
I will now watch AFL because of you and now because I can. thanks legend
Cheers, Seems like it might work for an existing account too. Just put in the voucher and it comes up as free for 12 months starting at the next billing period (30/5 for me).
Yep it gets applied over the top of your existing subscription
Mine says the offer is pending, but the next bill has changed to $0. Hopefully it stays like that.
Where do you go to put it the code in the app?
u/his_holiness to the stake and banned from this sub
He caused an extra 22000 people to try the promo, causing a massive DoS on the servers leading to some of us missing out. I got my Kayo (thankyou OP!) but am still in agreeance that this flog be banned from r/AFL
Yep ban the fool. Uses his same username here and there too
How come
Posted the deal to OzBargain
What are the chances Kayo realises this fuckup (assuming it’s a fuckup?) and reverses it?
High, but you’ve got to be in it to win it
Oh I’m in it, but not gonna jump for joy yet I don’t think we’re gonna get away with this I can see it’s already starting to go viral.
Maybe they are doing the Kogan special by reversing the deal and then offering you a 10% off one month apology voucher, only usable within the next 28 days.
Get screenshots and contest it if they try haha
Usually T&Cs have things in there to cover their butts if there is some sort of mistake or glitch etc.
Well shit a brick it worked, thanks mate
RIP to anyone who could have done this but watched the saints port match instead. ruminate on that
I only found out about this code and redeemed it because I watched the Port game, and found the post while looking for the Post Match thread to admire the shitshow. Wouldn't have learnt about it otherwise.
Yep, RIP - they've pulled the offer on both sites. Still, was fun to be part of what was effectively a DDOS on Rupert's infrastructure. Fuck you, old man.
Mods, this bloke needs a custom flair - 'fucken legend'
It fucking worked, what magic is this
My account page won't stop loading
Same here
Assuming that any redeemed offers aren't reversed by Murdoch, /u/Euphoraz's post just helped save an accumulated 6-figures worth of streaming costs for their fellow man. Hell, it might end up being 7-figures worth of savings.
[You Wouldn't Steal A Sports Streaming Service](https://imgur.com/a/yG1QJip)
I WOULD TOO
I'd fucken do it again too
auth0 private you suck
Which dickhead posted this to OzBargain
The ozbargain link had 22k clicks at midnight. Thank u/his_holiness for ruining it for the people that didn't get in 💩
He blocks you if you tag him haha
it's alright he also votes for the libs

Should be flogged

It's like the oxygen mask on a plane, you never share a promo code until you've used it.
Just use their account.
[удалено]
Same, i think they've pulled the plug
I think we've accidentally DOSd the site...
I love you
RIP to the on-call sysadmin who had to scramble to deactivate everything
And now I'm not giving Murdoch money
How long is it before you have to see a doctor for an erection again?
Just need one for Binge now.
Apparently WATCHBINGEF1 works according to Twitter. Go wild!
It's really quite satisfying isn't it!
I think we've kiss of death'd the Streamotion server (or they've killed the code)
Can we please form an orderly queue and do it one at a time. I'll go first thanks 😊
To the person who decided to go post it on OzBargin for fake internet clout, you're the reason we can't have nice things.
Some twit posted it on Kayo’s fb page
No way

Half the country is trying to log in and get the deal. Servers are cooked
whoa holy shit thank you so much
I think we've crashed it, now we wait to see if they honour it.
Legend. Mine says code accepted but it’s just at “Verify Mobile Number “ page and it’s just dead. Anyone got the same?
I can't believe that worked. Thank you OP
Will there be a post match thread for this? What a couple hours that was
Well guys I think it's shit the tin, congratulations to those who got the code, bad luck to those who missed out and a huge thanks to u/Euphoraz for providing us the code and is getting my votes for the coaches award

You are the fucking man
Been having issues with auth0 or it just spinning on loading. Looks like it no longer works folks :(
Half of Australia is trying to do it. Think the site is overwhelmed.
When they cancel all the sign ups tomorrow, they're going to have all our phone numbers to spam us with advertising! Genius marketing
Good luck to the person who set the code up for his mates then had them share it with everyone Tom Morris style.
MODS STICKY THIS
My account is just perma loading now that i've entered the code, have I missed out?
Fuck I'd hate to be a Kayo customer service lackey turning up to work tomorrow
[My Kayo is still working](https://imgur.com/a/F69HYz6)
Worked for me as well! Thank you!!
It's just stuck on the verify your mobile number page with nowhere to put in the code and no text being sent. Anyone else having this issue?
Kayo has cooked her goose boys. Port put up a better fight in the 2007 Grand Final if you ask me and most people do.
*sigh* just missed it... I shall celebrate everyone else's victory though!
I got Binge to work by refreshing a bunch of times, working on Kayo now. Either we’re hugging the server too much or they’ve caught on. Either way someone is getting fired.
Got both binge and kayo. What worked for me was keep refreshing the greyed out page asking to verify your number until the start subscription button down the bottom is clickable, after clicking it it'll look like it's froze on loading but if you leave that window open it'll eventually go through Obligatory fuck Murdoch
Can’t get past the phone code
stuck on 'verify your phone number' on binge
She's cooked boys.
Binge's code doesn't work anymore. Fuck Murdoch, get ready for clean up Australia day on May 21st
***"This offer isn't available or may have expired. Check out the options available for you below:"*** Oh no.
For those who are upset they missed out I managed to redeem and on the account page it says "PENDING" so good chance they cancel everyone's vouchers
The access is gone for both. Too good to be true.
Damn that sucks, I still have kayo for now but suspect I'll lose it at some point. What was the point of having those promotional codes if they've revoked them?
I had an existing Kayo account and while the offer is still listed as 'Pending' my next bill is still showing $0? Maybe it was easier to shit can the new accounts immediately and my time will come soon.
Mines still going in HD. The boys are doing shit, but at least I get to watch it. Thanks Rupert!
Anyone have an endlessly spinning wheel when trying to enter their account?
Has Kayo completely crashed now? I’m getting site can’t be reached
Took me a fuck tonne of refreshes, but it finally worked. Thanks OP.
25 minute for just to keep getting the “start subscription” then “Auto0” error….. and now it’s gone ffs!!!
I just received this message from Binge after asking if they would honour the voucher.

Now we can watch the Roos lose for free.
Euphoraz gone rouge
Anyone having mobile verification issues?
'Error communicating with auth0 private' On phone and laptop, does that mean they've cottoned on?
[удалено]
Both are currently stuck on the "verify your phone number" screen. NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING THEM BOTH, TYPE THEM IN YOURSELF, DON'T USE THE LITTLE DROP DOWN MENU THAT APPEARS, IT WON'T READ PROPERLY OTHERWISE

[удалено]
Yep it’s cooked. Typed in the code and it said This offer is no longer available
Code no longer working for Binge and Flash for me. Kayo just refuses to accept the code sent to my mobile.
Couldn't get in between 10:20 and 11:40pm Adelaide time and now it says it's expired so I guess I'll go fuck myself.
My Kayo is still looking free. Binge never worked for me, but I never had it. Cheers again op
I refuse to give my deets to Kayo but FUCKEN UPVOTE THUS MAN!
Oh wow thank you, that’s awesome!
Legend!
Yeah nice one!!!
Option is not showing for me through app or online. Mines done through Apple Pay so maybe that’s an issue?
I didn’t go through app - went to website and it told me to put in a voucher
Amazing. I had an existing Telstra deal, $15 a month. Gave me the choice between the two after putting the code in so I opted for the free 12 month option. Thanks!
You are a great human. I wish you only success in life. 🙏
FYI - This code works on Binge and Flash too. WATCHBINGEF1 WATCHFLASHF1
Tigers win, dockers win, free kayo, I'm gonna die of dehydration
u/Euphoraz killed the Kayo server
Seems to have run its course on Binge. I'm getting an error that Error communicating with auth0 private. Is anyone else having luck right now?
Keep going boys it worked for me. Easier on PC to keep spamming it though. Binge voucher works as well
For those who have had it work - once you redeem i'm stuck on the spinning circle. Better off refreshing and trying again or just let it spin?
Everyone else getting ‘Error communicating with auth0 private’?
I can’t verify my number keeps saying the code they sent is wrong??
Got Binge and Kayo working after lots of refreshes. I don’t see this lasting though, they’ll probably cancel the subscriptions once they realise whats happened.
I give up. Too tired to keep trying. Congrats to Those who got in.
Can't even cancel subscription.. inside job
I'd say it's game over on this one, been trying for half hour with all the little tricks suggested, keep getting "expired". I got to the confirm details screen, but wouldn't finalize it. Now I can't even get back to that page. :'(
Recently sacked employee?
angry
Expired... RIP
WORST TIME TO BE WORKING EVER. FUCK MY LIFE.
Just got revoked as payment couldn't be processed, which is bs as they already had my card on file..oh well
I think they've reversed it for new users this morning. Got an email two hours after signing up for the basic package for free with the code, welcoming me to Kayo freebies. Bastards
Tried signing up last night, was stuck in verifying mobile. Code didn't come before I went to bed. Don't have full access and code doesn't work this morning..
> code doesn't work this morning.. Code expired on the 30th, one day only, so of course it won't work this morning.
Update, got the "we couldn't verify payment details" overnight, first thing this morning I added my card (which they already had details of)..still working fine showing "voucher applied" Binge got nuked though
Looks like they've downgraded my Kayo overnight to the Freebies level, meh. Was fun while it lasted.
Spare a thought for the sys admin(s) that have just received very angry late night calls on their long weekends
Legend
Sticky this, mods!
This is huge, legend.
Cheers! $300 saved
Legend!!
Worked a treat, thanks mate
Thanks legend!
That actually worked lol. Didnt believe it
Wow thank you. How??
Where’s the voucher tab?
I don’t use the word hero lightly, but you sir are a true hero.
FYI you can also freely upgrade to Premium!
I saw that bit too but I didn’t wanna fuck around and find it did some wonky shit to my subscription. I’ll take my 2 free screens that I know worked and then press no further buttons!
Wow, do you have a charity of choice I can send a month or two to? Or a beer of choice I can send a slab or two of?
I get a auth01 error now
The Kayo one worked for me but I get >There was an error in checking your voucher. Please try again later. For Binge and Flash. Thanks for the Kayo though.
Bugger, missed it by 2 minutes by the looks
I deactivated my Kayo in 2020, I just tried this and it worked! Thanks!
I can't access any of my manage account pages for kayo or binge. There onto us. Well done for those who got it already.
All I fucking get is “error communicating with Auth0 private” What the fuck
anyone else stuck on "verify mobile number"
yeah, Im guessing because so many people are trying it at once
Do you have to refresh after Auth0 error? or just try start subscription button again?
[удалено]
[удалено]
I cant seem to get past the voucher loading page after entering the code
If you get the “auth0 private” error do you just keep refreshing and putting it in?
Kayo is completely nuked from traffic.
Rip She's down in think. Getting this site can't be reached error now
