Free bet
A bet token from the bookmaker. In most cases only the winnings are paid, not the token’s own value.
Also called Bet credits, Bet token
Example A $10 free bet at 3.00 wins: you get $20, not $30.
- Good to know
- This is called ‘stake not returned’. Free bets also expire and may need minimum odds.

Welcome offer
The bonus a bookmaker gives new customers, often free bets or a match on the first deposit. Always read the wagering, minimum odds and expiry first.
Exchanges
Matched betting
Backing an outcome with a bookmaker and laying the same outcome on an exchange, to turn free-bet offers into a small, mostly fixed profit.
Bonuses
Second-chance bet
If your first bet loses, the bookmaker refunds the stake, usually as a bonus bet rather than cash.
