Virgin Bet Sign Up Offer (2025) | How to Make £15.50 Profit

Description

Virgin Bet are part of the same Group as LiveScore Bet. You should be able to do both welcome offers, though I recommend leaving a week or two between sign-ups. If you have been restricted by LiveScore Bet, you can expect Virgin Bet to swiftly do the same.

Key terms

Available to residents of the United Kingdom.
Minimum deposit of £10 (excludes deposits made by pre-paid credit card, disposable, virtual cards and/or pre-paid debit cards and/or debit cards where Virgin Bet cannot identify the type of card used or bank or financial institution that issued the card).
Minimum stake of £10 in one go (not cumulative).
Minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2).
Qualifying bet must be placed and settled within 14 days of account registration.
2 x £10 free bets will be offered via a pop-up notification upon placement of your qualifying bet.
Free bets must be accepted within 7 days.
Free bets will be valid for 7 days from acceptance.
Free bet stakes will not be returned with any winnings.

Always check the terms of an offer yourself before placing any bets. Bookmakers can amend their terms at any time, so it’s always worth double-checking.

Qualifying bet

Check the back odds at Virgin Bet and the lay odds at Smarkets to find a suitable selection. Your qualifying bet must be placed at minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2).
Use the ‘Qualifying Bet‘ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stake.
Place your £10 qualifying back bet at Virgin Bet (must be placed and settled within 14 days of registering).
Place your lay bet against the same selection at Smarkets.

Free bets

Upon placement of your qualifying bet, you’ll be offered 2 x £10 free bets via a pop-up notification. You must accept your free bets within 7 days.
Check the back odds at Virgin Bet and the lay odds at Smarkets to find a suitable selection.
Use the ‘Free Bet‘ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stake.
Place your first £10 free back bet at Virgin Bet (valid for 7 days from acceptance).
Place your lay bet against the same selection at Smarkets.
Repeat steps 10-13 for your remaining £10 free bet.

As a rough guide, limit your qualifying loss to around £0.50 and aim for £16 cash (80%) from your £20 in free bets. Based on those figures, you should make a £15.50 profit on this Virgin Bet offer.

General advice and example for ‘Bet X, Get Y’ 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.

Once received, 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.

Hi Matt

Currently working my way through the Academy one step at a time. Loving the blog so far so please keep up the good work!

Virgin Bet don’t seem able to deal with the new bank security protocols (set up by RBS) so debit payments (placing deposit) don’t work. Given RBS own Natwest and others, I suspect a few folk might similarly suffer.

PayPal payment seems to be the only way that works – apparently doing it via them doesn’t affect right to recover free bets (unlike other sign up offers on the blog).

Hopefully that’s of some use.

Cheers

  Thanks, @Weegie182. It’s great to hear you’re loving the blog!
  
  Thanks for sharing your experience with Virgin Bet. I’ve not heard of that problem before, so hopefully, it won’t affect too many people. It’s good to hear you were able to deposit via PayPal without any issues.

Hi, LiveScore and Virgin bet belong to the same company so I’m assuming you can only get the bonus from one of the 2?

  Hi Antonio,
  
  You should be able to claim both welcome offers, though I recommend leaving a week or two between sign-ups. If you have already been restricted by one of the brands, you can expect the other to follow suit.
  
  I’ve added a note to this effect to both guides.
  
  I hope that helps.

  The offer hasn’t ended, Pipes. It just wasn’t available on Saturday 15th April 2023, due to the Grand National.

Hi – thanks for all your great work. I’m trying to do a bet £10 get £5 free bet on Virgin Bet. However, when placing the £10 bet, it says ‘Maximum stake value exceeded’. Assume this means I’ve been restricted or is there any way around this?

  You’re welcome, Dave!
  
  If it is a restriction, I don’t think there’s much you can do. I don’t know what odds you’re trying to bet on, but try betting on a selection with lower odds to see if they’ll let you stake more.

Virgin Bet now credits the 2x £10.00 free bets immediately upon placing your qualifying bet worth £10, not when it settles.

Hi. Working through the blog – all very helpful!

Today I’ve tried to log into my Virgin Bet account after placing the qualifying bet yesterday and it’s saying “An error occurred, try again later”.

I’m sure there’s just an issue with their site and I’ll be able to get in later but it did get me thinking… is there ever a situation where you can be gubbed and unable to withdraw funds? I’m sure that’s not what’s happened here since I’ve only placed one bet, but just for future reference.

  Hi Ollie,
  
  I’ve not heard of anyone having issues with the Virgin Bet sign up offer. Have you been able to log in now?
  
  If a bookmaker gubs you, you can usually withdraw your funds without any issues. The only time a bookmaker may withhold customer funds is if they suspect unusual activity or they believe you may be using illicit funds.
  
  I haven’t come across anyone having issues, though, so I think you’ll be absolutely fine.
  
  I hope that helps.

    Thank you. Yes I was able to get in in the end. Turned out they wanted additional proof of my identity. They never told me that though, I only found out when I went onto the online chat to ask why I couldn’t log in.
