Parimatch is a global sports betting brand that started in Kyiv, Ukraine, back in 1994. It launched in the UK in October 2020, where it operates under BV Gaming Limited (the same Gibraltar-based company behind BetVictor) and is fully regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.
Parimatch has no UK high street betting shops. We're using the website.

£10 Parimatch + £40 Smarkets
Not spent – it moves between your accounts and comes back when you finish
The rules
Parimatch's welcome bonus earns you around £10 on average. You put £10 into Parimatch and place one qualifying bet (costs roughly 25-50p). In return you get a £5 Sports Bet (which we lock in for guaranteed profit) plus two £5 football Bet Builders and one £5 accumulator (bonus money where you pick the selections yourself).
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 Parimatch's done, your exchange balance is ready for the next offer.
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 Parimatch, you also place an opposite bet on Smarkets to cancel it out. If Parimatch's bet wins, Smarkets needs to pay the difference, and the £40 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.
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 Sports Bet token is visible in your Parimatch account, use the finder below before placing anything.
It needs minimum odds of 2.00 and cannot be used on horse racing.
You also have 3 x £5.00 bet builder free bets to convert before they expire – we'll walk you through those in the next step.
