Bet365’s on the move bonus

  • I’m a recent newbie to matched betting. The T&Cs for this offer say the bonus is given as a bonus to bet with. Just looking at the potential for matched betting this. Seems that should I get the max bonus [£50] then stake it and it loses that’s the bonus offer lost. But if it wins then the profit is added to the bonus pot and not withdrawable until £300 has been staked and settled within the 90 day window.
    Anyone had experience with this offer?

    My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

    If your new to matched betting, which you have said you are, put the bet365 offers to one side for a few months as you could end up needed a rather large float to release your money with the required rollovers.

    Its up to you but a quick search will find lots of threads regarding money being tied up in 365.

    I’d recommend reading through some of the blog posts and forum threads here before you attempt this one, Try doing a sign up bonus with another bookie which has a smaller sign up offer, so you get used to what you need to do to get the highest% out of the bonus.

    No doubt sage advice, and thank you. But I was really looking for a bit more from some of the forumites who’ve transacted this specific bonus offer, on the potential for match betting this. TBH a bit surprised that there’s no-one here prepared to share their experience of this offer. Oh well.

    Play it exactly how you would with the main £200 bonus…you have the two options bet at the minimum odds each time and complete the rollover (less profit as you will lose a few pound each time you back and lay) or pick high odds in the hope your bet loses and the money goes straight to the exchange (the more risky approach due to if it wins that’s a lot of money out your exchange and then you have to complete the rollover anyway) nothing much to say really! What advice where you looking for?

    Thx Ryan B. I’m trying to get my head round the potential for match betting this offer given the t&cs state that the bonus is given as a bonus to bet with. So, when you bet on this offer they use the original £50 bonus as your first stake and then add any winnings you gain from staking that bonus to your bonus pool. But, here’s the rub, you can’t withdraw any of these bonus funds until you’ve met the turnover requirement. This differs from the £200 bonus offer, where you I believe your own funds balance before using any bonus balance.

    So, let’s say you get a £50 bonus awarded.

    But, you can’t draw this down until you stake £300.

    You then decide to stake 6 bets of £50 each.

    The first of these will use the £50 bonus. I’d want to match bet this to achieve a small loss – say £2 max. But, if the back bet loses, the bonus is lost. If the back wins the winnings are added to the bonus pool and are not withdrawable until the turnover requirements are met.

    So, what I’m trying to understand is what are the potential from match betting on this offer. In particular whether any forumites can share their experience / views on this specific offer.

    Thank you.

    Pretty sure its exactly the same as the £200 one…..all you is do a normal back and lay of £50 you then receive your £50 bonus….you then bet that using the calculator on stake returned or leave it on the qualifying option (its the same formula) and then like I said either do this on high odds in the hope it loses and then happy days £40ish profit or…if it wins you then have to play through the rollover, think you’re making this complicated.

    Hi Ryan B
    Sorry but I don’t think I agree your view. For the 100% bonus you use your own funds balance, but for the ‘on the move’ bonus you use the bonus funds balance. I take it you’ve not played these offers through, fair enough. But, I’d have thought there must be some forumites who have?
    Thx

    ……I have done both of these offers. Just read the terms its really not that difficult.
    “You must place a qualifying bet using your mobile or tablet and enter your Offer Code before being able to bet with your bonus.” As I said before……back and lay £50 you then get your £50 bonus and then either do it on high or low odds so youll either lose it straight to the exchange or rollover. Don’t ask people for advice if you’re then not going to accept it.

    Booler, listen to RyanB – what he’s telling you is correct.

    Also, stop using the word ‘forumites’ – you sound like a twat.

    The 200 and otm 50 are the same.

    You bet 200, get 200 bonus. Bet that 200 to win/lose resulting in rollover/no rollover.

    You bet 50 via mobile, get 50 bonus. Bet that 50 to win/lose resulting in rollover/no rollover.

    Everything from ‘So let’s say you get 50’ downwards that you have stated is wrong.

    Yup very annoying when you try help someone out for them to dismiss you as being wrong..sorry who was it who asked for the help!
    So yes what you wanted to know probably 99% of people on this forum have done the bet365 offers as they are by far the best.

    If I was you Booler I would do a lot more reading up before you place any more bets. Unless you put some work in your not going to get anything out. There is loads of information out there but there is never a quick fix for success.

    Yup tons of easy mistakes out there simply putting free bet option SNR on calculator when using your bet365 bonus could be an easy one to make if you werent sure what you were doing.

    I did this offer only a couple of weeks ago and Ryans advice is sound, works exactly the same as the main £200 bonus.

    With these sorts of offers I always try to lose my bookie bet and get the money into the exchange but as one or two others have said you need a decent pot just in case you win and have to extract the money however you see fit.

    Also bet365 odds are spot on so you should find getting close lay matches very easy. A tip I found useful was try doing it on a QPR game as smarkets offer 0% commission which helps extract that little more profit.
