The stake is returned with bonus money, so use the normal (qualifying/stake returned) bet calculator. Look for really tight odds and you wont lose much of the bonus. I’ve done both of those offers.

As with all these books, read the T+Cs. it should tell you if the stake is not returned. therefore you can say that the ones that don’t mention the stake are wagering only. (Almost every bookie is either SNR or wagering, the only one I know of is betvictor that has both)
So just wager your balance through as a normal bet (laying obviously) but check what the minimum odds are to fulfill the wagering requirement.

With stake returned free bets, we can use the ‘Qualifying Bet’ or ‘Free Bet – Stake returned’ settings on the calculator. The maths are the same for both settings, they just display the results in different ways.

For a walk-through guide on how to tackle stake returned free bets, please see my Bonus Rollover Strategy page.
