How to Convert a UK Free Bet to Cash
UK free bets work the same way as US bonus bets: the stake is not returned on a winning bet — you only receive the profit. To convert to guaranteed cash:
- Receive your free bet credit (e.g. £30 at bet365)
- Find an underdog priced at 4.0+ (3/1 or higher in fractional, +300 or higher in American)
- Enter the free bet size and odds into the PromoGrind calculator
- Lay the same selection at Betfair Exchange for the calculated amount
- Collect ~75% of the free bet value as guaranteed cash
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a bonus bet and a free bet in the UK?
- They are the same thing. "Free bet" is the common UK term; "bonus bet" is the US equivalent. In both cases, the stake is not returned on a winning bet — only the profit is paid out.
- Why use a calculator for free bets?
- The lay stake at the exchange must be precisely calculated to lock in profit regardless of outcome. Too much or too little, and you either risk a loss or leave guaranteed profit on the table. The calculator does this instantly.
- Do UK free bet offers expire?
- Yes. Most UK free bets expire within 7–30 days of being credited. Check the offer terms at each bookmaker. The PromoGrind Promo Calendar tracks expiry dates for major UK offers.
