Bet UK launched in 2018 and is fully regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.
Bet UK has no high street betting shops. We're using the website.
Bet UK's welcome bonus pays around £28 on average, often more if your selections land well. You put £10 into Bet UK and place one qualifying bet (costs roughly 25-50p). In return you get 4 × £10 free bet tokens: two Sports Bets and two Bet Builders. Unlike most welcome offers, these can't be matched on an exchange. You pick the selections yourself, so the £28 figure is what most people walk away with.
You need about £50 total across your accounts, but none of that money is spent. It just moves between your accounts to cover both sides of the qualifying bet.
It takes about 25 minutes of actual work, spread over a couple of days. Once Bet UK's done, your exchange balance is ready for the next offer.
When you place a bet on Bet UK, you also place an opposite bet on Smarkets to cancel it out. If Bet UK's bet wins, Smarkets needs to pay the difference, and the £40.00 is there to cover that worst case.
You won't lose this money. It just needs to be in your Smarkets account while the bet settles. After the match, the unused balance is yours again.
Your qualifying bet earns you the free bet tokens. By matching it on the exchange, you keep the loss tiny, typically 25-50p. In return, you get four £10 free bet tokens: two Sports Bets and two Bet Builders.
