Free Bet Calculator

See exactly what a free bet returns. Enter the free-bet amount, the decimal odds you'd use it on, and whether the stake is returned. Most free bets are stake-not-returned — you keep the winnings only — which is why they're worth less than the same amount of cash.

If the offer doesn't say, assume stake-not-returned. A free bet is a token you must stake in full — you can't withdraw it, only what it wins.

Enter the amount, odds and type to see the return.

How it's worked out

A stake-not-returned free bet pays your winnings only:

Return = free-bet amount × (decimal odds − 1).

Example: a $10 SNR free bet at 5.00 returns 10 × (5.00 − 1) = $40 — you keep the $40 profit but not the $10 stake. A cash bet would return $50, so the free bet is worth less. A stake-returned free bet pays amount × odds ($50), like cash.

Use it on higher odds

Because the stake is lost either way, higher odds recover more of a free bet's value — the lost stake is a smaller slice of a bigger win. A $50 SNR free bet on a 1.20 shot returns just $10; the same token at 4.00 returns $150. Read the full picture in our how free bets work guide.

Calculations are exact from the numbers you enter. This tool shows the return if the bet wins; it does not adjust for the probability of winning, and ignores boosts, part-cash-out or void rules.

A free bet lowers your cost to bet, but it doesn't change the house edge or make betting profitable on average. Treat it as entertainment value, not a strategy. Read our responsible gambling guide.
