Offer Summary
What You'll Need
- A new Spreadex account (never signed up before, 18+, GB or ROI)
- A betting exchange account (Smarkets or Betfair Exchange)
- Around £50 in starting funds (qualifying bet + exchange liabilities)
- A matched betting calculator to work out lay stakes
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Sign up to Spreadex
Create a new Spreadex account. You must be 18+ and resident in Great Britain or the Republic of Ireland. Use your real personal details — Spreadex verifies ID before processing withdrawals, so any mismatch will delay payout. You then have 28 days from account opening to place the qualifying bet, or the whole offer expires — don't sign up and leave it.
Deposit and find the fixed-odds section
Deposit enough to cover the £10 qualifying stake plus your exchange liability — around £50 is comfortable. Spreadex is best known for spread betting, but this offer's qualifying bet must be a fixed-odds (sportsbook) bet, so make sure you are in the right part of the site.
Find a qualifying bet at 1.5 or higher
The qualifier is a £10 fixed-odds single (or £10 each-way) at minimum odds of 1/2 (1.50). Look for a football or tennis selection around 2.0 where the Spreadex back odds and the exchange lay odds sit close together. The tighter that spread, the smaller your qualifying loss.
Place your £10 fixed-odds back bet at Spreadex
Stake £10 on your chosen selection in the fixed-odds sportsbook. Confirm the price is at least 1.50 before placing, and use the matched betting calculator to compute the matching exchange lay stake. Note the qualifying bet cannot be cashed out early.
Place your lay bet at the exchange
Lay the same selection at the exchange for the calculated stake. Expect a small qualifying loss of around £0.30–£0.50 depending on the back/lay spread.
Wait for the 3 × £10 free bets to credit
Once the qualifying bet settles, the first £10 fixed-odds free bet credits straight away, with the second and third arriving on the next two consecutive days. The spread-bet bonuses (3 × £5 Total Goals, 3 × £5 Winning Favourites and a £1 Race Index) don't arrive with them — Spreadex credits those only to customers who also open a full spread betting account, within 28 days of the fixed-odds one, subject to a suitability assessment. On a fixed-odds account alone, £30 is the whole offer. Either way they are ignore those for matched betting (see the warning below).
Each fixed-odds free bet expires 28 days after it is awarded, so you have plenty of time to use all three.
Use each £10 fixed-odds free bet at higher odds
Repeat the back/lay process for each of the three £10 fixed-odds tokens. Use odds around 4.5–5.0 to maximise the SNR extraction rate — you should retain roughly 70–75% of each token. You can use all three on the same event or spread them across different fixtures.
Because the tokens are released a day apart, plan three back/lay pairs across the days they land rather than rushing them all at once.
Withdraw your profit
Once all bets have settled, withdraw from both Spreadex and your exchange. Expected total profit from the three fixed-odds free bets is around £21 after the qualifying loss and exchange commission.
Worked Example
Here's a realistic example assuming each £10 fixed-odds free bet is placed at around 4.5–5.0 with a tight exchange lay and 2% commission. The spread-bet bonuses are deliberately left out.
| Step | What you do | Approx. result |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifying bet | Back £10 at 2.0 (Spreadex), lay at 2.06 (exchange) | -£0.40 small loss |
| Free bet 1 (day 1) | Back £10 free bet at 4.8, lay at exchange | +£7.10 profit |
| Free bet 2 (day 2) | Back £10 free bet at 4.8, lay at exchange | +£7.10 profit |
| Free bet 3 (day 3) | Back £10 free bet at 4.8, lay at exchange | +£7.10 profit |
| Spread-bet bonuses | Excluded — cannot be laid reliably | £0.00 (ignored) |
| Total | ~£20.90 profit |
Spreadex-Specific Tips
- Make sure your qualifying bet is a fixed-odds single in the sportsbook, not a spread bet. Only the fixed-odds wager triggers the free bets.
- Place the qualifying bet within 28 days of opening your account — this is separate from the 28-day expiry on each free bet, and if you miss it the whole offer lapses.
- The three £10 tokens arrive one per day over three consecutive days, so spread your extraction across those days rather than waiting for all three.
- You get a generous 28-day window to use each free bet — far longer than the typical 7 days — so you can wait for events with tight back/lay spreads.
- Spreadex fixed-odds prices on football and tennis are usually competitive enough for a clean qualifying match; horse racing tends to have wider spreads.
Ignore the Spread-Bet Bonuses
Spreadex headlines this offer as “Bet £10 Get £60 in Free Bets”, but that £60 is split, and the second half is conditional. Only £30 is the fixed-odds free bets, and that is the part every qualifying customer gets. The other £30 is spread-bet bonuses — 3 × £5 Total Goals, 3 × £5 Winning Favourites and a £1 Race Index — credited only to customers who also open a full spread betting account within 28 days of opening the fixed-odds one, and only after identity and age verification and an appropriateness assessment that Spreadex applies at its own discretion. Open a fixed-odds account only, or get turned down on suitability, and £30 is the entire offer. They are also not standard free bets. Spread betting pays out per unit of movement, so there is no clean way to lay them at an exchange and lock in a profit. Treating them as matchable will expose you to real, unhedged risk.
Our advice: complete the offer for the £30 of fixed-odds free bets and treat the spread-bet bonuses as worthless. If you have never spread bet before, leave them entirely alone — losses on spread bets can exceed your stake.
Key takeaways
- Spreadex advertises Bet £10 Get £60 in Free Bets, but only £30 — the 3 × £10 fixed-odds free bets — is matchable, for a £10 qualifying bet at min odds 1/2 (1.5)
- Place the qualifying bet within 28 days of opening your account, or the whole offer expires — separate from the 28-day expiry on each free bet
- Only the fixed-odds free bets are matched-bettable — the £30 of spread-bet bonuses cannot be laid and should be ignored
- The spread-bet £30 is conditional anyway: it needs a second, full spread betting account opened within 28 days of the fixed-odds one and passing a suitability assessment — fixed-odds only means £30
- Expected matched-betting profit is ~£21 after qualifying loss and commission
- Tokens are SNR, credited one per day over three days, and expire 28 days after award
- Use each £10 token at odds 4.5–5.0 for the best SNR extraction
Spreadex offer FAQs
Is the Spreadex offer really £60 in free bets?
Spreadex advertises the offer as “Bet £10 Get £60 in Free Bets”, but only £30 of that is matchable. The matchable portion is 3 × £10 fixed-odds free bets (SNR). The remaining £30 is spread-bet bonuses (Total Goals, Winning Favourites, Race Index), credited only if you also open a full spread betting account within 28 days of the fixed-odds one and pass Spreadex's suitability assessment — and they can't be laid reliably at an exchange, so we exclude them from the profit plan.
What are the minimum odds for the Spreadex offer?
The Spreadex qualifying bet is a £10 fixed-odds single (or £10 each-way) at minimum odds of 1/2 (1.50). Place it in the fixed-odds sportsbook, not the spread-betting section, or it won't trigger the free bets.
Are Spreadex's free bets stake-not-returned (SNR)?
Yes. The 3 × £10 fixed-odds free bets are SNR (stake not returned), so the token stake isn't included in your winnings. Because of that, backing each token at higher odds of around 4.5–5.0 extracts the most value, retaining roughly 70–75% of the £10 face value per token.
How long do the Spreadex free bets last?
Each £10 fixed-odds free bet expires 28 days after it is awarded. The three tokens are credited one per day over three consecutive days once your qualifying bet settles — a longer window than the typical 7 days, giving you time to wait for events with tight back/lay spreads.
How long do I have to place the Spreadex qualifying bet?
You must place the £10 qualifying bet within 28 days of opening your Spreadex account. This is separate from the 28-day expiry on each free bet once awarded — if you sign up and don't place the qualifying bet within 28 days, the whole offer expires before the free bets are even credited.
How much profit can I make from the Spreadex offer?
Expect around £21 total profit after the small qualifying loss and exchange commission. That comes from the £30 of fixed-odds free bets only. The spread-bet bonuses (Total Goals, Winning Favourites, Race Index) can't be laid reliably at an exchange, so we exclude them from the profit plan.
