What should I do after my first welcome bonuses?

Welcome bonuses are just the beginning. Most members continue opening new bookie accounts and collecting welcome bonuses for several months, while at the same time building skills and exploring other strategies.

Here is the path that most members follow:

1. Keep opening bookie accounts

Continue working through new bookmaker accounts and their welcome bonuses. Take it slow and open one or two at a time. Bonus bets have expiry dates so there is no benefit in rushing. Your bankroll and confidence will continue to increase as you complete them.

2. Build your knowledge

While opening new accounts, work through the courses that will open up more strategies. The three most valuable ones at this stage are Matched Betting 201, Account Sustainability, and Understanding Betfair.

3. Get active in Discord

The Discord community is one of the most valuable tools available to paid members. The #1st-deposit-bonuses, #boost-starboard, and #refund-promos channels are particularly useful for finding daily opportunities.

4. Start working sports promos

Once you have several accounts open, start taking advantage of the ongoing promos bookmakers offer to existing customers. These are available every day and provide a consistent edge on top of your welcome bonus income. Check the promos page to see what's available.

5. Get into horse racing

Racing promos are the most consistent and lucrative ongoing matched betting strategy available. Our Horse Racing course will get you started and Saturday race days in particular offer hundreds of opportunities across multiple bookmakers.

6. Learn about multis

Multi promos, especially Same Game Multis, are now offered by almost every bookmaker on almost every major sporting event. Our Multis course covers how to approach these consistently.

7. Squeeze every drop from your accounts

Even accounts that are no longer eligible for promos can still generate profit. Our Non-Promo Strategies course covers value betting, arbitrage, and middles, which are available on our Pro tier.


If you are new to matched betting and have just completed your first welcome bonuses there is still a long journey - and lots of profit - ahead!
