General advice and example for money back offers

Place your qualifying bets at low odds, ensuring you meet any minimum odds requirement. Use the ‘Qualifying Bet’ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stakes.

If the refund trigger hits, you’ll receive your money back. Otherwise, you’ll make a small loss. You can convert any free bets or bonuses into cash. Use the ‘Free Bet’ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stakes. It’s best to place free bets at high odds to maximise your profits.

See my Money Back Offers guide for a complete walkthrough of this offer type.
