Deposit Match Calculator

Use the PromoGrind Deposit Match Calculator to find the exact hedge stake that converts a sportsbook deposit match bonus into modeled cash value — before you deposit a single dollar.

What Is a Deposit Match Bonus?

A deposit match is a sportsbook promotion where the book matches your deposit by a percentage — commonly 100% up to $1,000 (e.g., DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars). The matched funds are typically released as bonus bets as you wager, or issued as a single lump sum bonus bet after your first qualifying wager settles.

How to Calculate the Optimal Hedge

The deposit match calculator treats the resulting bonus bets exactly like a standard free bet conversion: place the bonus bet on an underdog at favorable American odds (+250 to +400), then place a cash hedge on the opposing side at a different sportsbook. The calculator solves for the hedge stake that equalizes your outcome regardless of which side wins.

How Much Can I Expect to Extract?

Assuming a 100% deposit match of $1,000 and standard odds of +300 / -120, a typical extraction rate is 65–72% of the bonus amount — translating to roughly $650–$720 in modeled cash value from a $1,000 bonus. Higher bonus percentages (e.g., 200%) are rarer but even more valuable when they appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the deposit match come as cash or bonus bets?

It varies by sportsbook. Some issue the match as bonus bets immediately; others release them in increments as you play through a rollover requirement. The PromoGrind calculator handles both scenarios — enter the bonus amount you actually have available.

Is there a rollover requirement?

Many deposit matches include a playthrough requirement (e.g., 1x, 3x, or 5x the bonus). Higher rollover requirements reduce the effective extraction rate. The calculator factors in the rollover when determining your net expected value.

Can I use the deposit match at the same book for the hedge?

No — you need a separate cash account at a different sportsbook to place the opposing hedge. Having accounts at 4–8 books gives you the best hedge odds and maximizes your modeled return on every bonus.
