The Fansbet welcome offer is a one of the most simple rollover bonus’ available on the market. All we have to do is open up an account using Promo Code “SPORTS20” and deposit £20.00 to receive a £20.00 bonus. This will give us a guaranteed profit of £18.04. Here’s how it’s done.

Terms of the offer

  • Minimum deposit £20.00.
  • The deposit and bonus must be wagered 1x on Sports at 1/2 (1.5) odds or higher.
  • Deposits with Skrill and Neteller do not qualify for this promotion

Qualifying Bet and Strategy

Like any offer it’s up to you what your qualifying bet will be on, as long as the market falls under the offer terms and conditions. As usual we will be looking for a market with close back and lay odds. We will be using fictional odds (yes, made up odds!) for the purposes of this example. The strategy for this offer is simple rollover bonus.

For this example we will be aiming to place our initial deposit along with the sports bonus in 1 bet. If your bank roll is smaller you can opt to place multiple smaller bets until the £40 has been wagered.

We can enter our details for the qualifying bet on the Matched Betting Calculator as follow: Stake £40.00 Team 1 back odds 1.50, Team 1 lay odds 1.53, lay commission 2%.

The calculator tells us to lay £39.74 on Team 1 for a qualifying loss of £1.06. However, due to £20.00 of this bet being bonus funds we can break down our profit and loss a little differently:

Outcome Bookmaker Exchange Profit/Loss
Team 1 win +£40.00 stake (£20.00 real £20.00 bonus) + +£20.00 -£21.06 +£18.04
Team 1 don’t win -£20.00 real + -£20.00 bonus +£38.95 +£18.05

As you can see due to £20.00 of our initial stake being in bonus funds we make a tidy profit of £18.04 win or lose. We’re going to break down the bet slightly more so you fully understand what’s happening with the our bet.

Our initial bet is for £40.00£20.00 of this is our money and £20.00 is bonus funds. If our bet wins, we will get a total return of £60.00 including stake at FansBet while losing £21.06 at the exchange. If we subtract our initial £20.00 of real money along with our loss at the exchange we are left with a total profit of £18.04.

If our bet loses, we lose £20.00 of our real money along with the £20.00 of bonus funds at FansBet. Our lay bet will win, putting £38.95 into our exchange. We then minus our £20.00 of real money for a total profit of £18.05.
