LiveScore Bet is the sports betting arm of LiveScore, the live scores app used by millions of football fans worldwide. They launched their sportsbook to complement the scores platform, and they're fully regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.
Their app ratings are solid (4.4 on both Apple and Google Play), and the interface will feel familiar if you've used the LiveScore app before.
LiveScore Bet's welcome bonus locks in around £15 in profit. You deposit £10 into LiveScore Bet, place one qualifying bet (costs roughly 25p in qualifying loss), and they give you 2 × £10 free bets plus 2 × £5 bet builder free bets. The standard free bets convert to about £15 in real cash. The bet builders are yours to have a punt with. If they win, that's bonus profit on top.
You need £10 for LiveScore Bet and your exchange balance should already be funded from previous offers. If you need to top up, you'll want about £90 in your exchange to comfortably cover the lay bets. None of this is spent. It all moves between accounts to cover both sides.
It takes about 30 minutes of actual work. One thing to note: the free bets arrive after your qualifying bet settles (allow up to 48 hours), so there's a short wait between steps 2 and 3.
When you place a bet on LiveScore Bet, you also place an opposite bet on Smarkets to cancel it out. If LiveScore Bet's bet wins, Smarkets needs to pay the difference, and the £90.00 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 bets. By matching it on the exchange, you keep the loss tiny, typically 10p to 30p. In return, you get 2 × £10 free bets plus 2 × £5 bet builder free bets.

You also have 2 x £5.00 bet builder free bets to convert before they expire – we'll walk you through those in the next step.
You also have 2 × £5.00 bet builder free bets. Unlike your main free bets, these can't be matched for guaranteed cash, but they're completely free. If they win, it's bonus money on top of your £15.00 profit.
You have 2 × £5 bet builder free bets for football. Bet builders combine multiple selections into one bet, so they can't be easily matched on the exchange. Just pick selections you fancy at combined odds of 2.00 or higher.
These are bonus profit on top of your locked-in £15. If they win, great. If not, you've still made your guaranteed profit from the standard free bets.
