Learn how to strategically combine promotions for maximum returns.
How To Take Advantage Of Promotions
Common Promo Types
- Second-Chance Bet / Bonus Bet: Stake refunded as bonus credits on first loss.
- Deposit Match: Book tops up your first load, often with a play-through hurdle.
- Odds Boost: Juiced price on a pre-picked market.
- Seasonal Promos (e.g., Dinger Tuesday, No-Sweat SGP): Recurring offers you can model into weekly EV.
Matched-Betting Blueprint
- Use the bonus stake on one side of a game.
- Lay or bet the opposite side at another book or exchange.
- Net outcome: lock in 70–85% of the bonus value regardless of result.
Quick EV Check on a $200 Second-Chance Bet
If house rules pay winnings only on bonus funds, stake a +300 underdog:
EV ≈ (0.25 × $600) − (0.75 × $0) = $150. Not bad for one signup click.
Fine Print to Watch
- Expiration—many credits die in seven days.
- Minimum odds—books force you into +100 or longer.
- Max cash-out—bonus wins may cap at a few grand.
Heads-Up on Limits
Crushing promos can tag you as bonus abuse. Vary markets, keep stakes natural, and cool activity after a big score.
