Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Sign up at Sky Bet
Go to the Sky Bet website and create a new account. Make sure you use a valid email address and your real name — you'll need to verify your identity before you can withdraw. Ensure you opt in to the sign-up offer during registration.
Find a suitable event
Look for an event where the bookmaker odds and exchange odds are close together. Football matches are usually best. You need odds of at least 1/1 (2.0) at Sky Bet to meet the minimum odds requirement. Aim for odds around 3.0 for a good balance between low qualifying loss and manageable lay liability.
Place your qualifying bet at Sky Bet
Place a £10 back bet at Sky Bet on your chosen outcome. For this example, we'll back a selection at odds of 3.0. Double-check the odds meet the minimum requirement of 2.0 before confirming.
Lay the same outcome at the exchange
At your exchange, lay the same selection at odds of 3.10. Use a matched betting calculator to work out the correct lay stake. This covers you regardless of the outcome. Your qualifying loss on this bet will be approximately £0.50.
Wait for the event to settle
Once the event finishes, one bet wins and the other loses by roughly the same amount. Your qualifying loss of around £0.50 is the cost of unlocking the free bets. Sky Bet will credit 3 × £10 free bets to your account.
Use your first free bet
Find another suitable event with close odds. Place a £10 free bet at Sky Bet at odds of around 5.0, and lay the same outcome at the exchange. Remember — with SNR free bets, you only receive the profit, not the stake back.
Repeat for the remaining free bets
Use the same back/lay process for the second and third £10 free bets. Each free bet at odds of 5.0 should return approximately £7.35 profit.
Withdraw your profit
Once all three free bets have settled, withdraw your profits from both Sky Bet and the exchange. Remember to leave some funds in your Sky Bet account if you plan to use their reload offers.
