Not spent – it moves between your accounts and comes back when you finish
The rules
NetBet's welcome bonus earns you an estimated £10. You put £10 into NetBet and place one qualifying bet (costs roughly 25–50p). They give you 4 × £5 free bets split across a football bet builder, a football accumulator, a horse racing accumulator, and a tennis in-play bet.
You need about £30 total across your accounts, but none of that money is spent. It just moves between your accounts to cover the qualifying bet.
It takes about 30 minutes of actual work, spread over a couple of days. Unlike most bookmaker welcome offers, these free bets can't be matched on an exchange, so the profit shown is an estimate of typical returns rather than locked-in cash.
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.
Debit card deposits are instant and free. Apple Pay isn't supported.
When you place a bet on NetBet, you also place an opposite bet on Smarkets to cancel it out. If NetBet's bet wins, Smarkets needs to pay the difference, and the £20 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 free bet tokens. We'll match your bookmaker bet on the exchange so your qualifying loss stays small, usually 10-40p.
