The rules
LiveScore Bet's welcome bonus is worth around £18 on average. You deposit £10 into LiveScore Bet, place one qualifying bet (costs roughly 25p in qualifying loss), and they give you 2 × £10 standard free bets, which we lock in on the exchange for guaranteed cash, plus 2 × £5 bet builder free bets that you place yourself. That average already blends the guaranteed cash with the typical value of the bet builders.
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.
Get Smarkets ready
Every matched betting offer uses the Smarkets betting exchange to lock in your profit. Set it up once and you're ready for all of them.
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 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.
This unlocks your £30 in free bets. We'll match your bookmaker bet on the exchange so your qualifying loss stays small, usually 10-40p.
Use the finder below to get a low-loss match with the exact stakes for both bets.
Your free bets will be credited once your qualifying bet settles.
Once the free bet credit is visible in your bookmaker account, use the finder below before placing anything.
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.
