How to matched bet with FatBet

  1. Open an accountSign up with FatBet and a Betfair account, and read the terms of any offer you want to use.
  2. Place the qualifying betBack a selection at FatBet and lay the same selection at Betfair, so you lose only a few cents whatever happens.
  3. Convert the bonus betWhen the bonus bet arrives, back and lay again. You keep roughly 70 to 80 percent of it as cash, whichever way the result goes.
Example: a $50 bonus bet backed at 5.00 and laid at 5.20, with 5% commission +$36.89

Example odds only, not a current offer. See the full bonus bet guide for the calculator.

Questions people ask

Can you matched bet with FatBet?

Yes. You back a bet at FatBet and lay the same selection at Betfair, so the result does not matter. It works for its bonus bets and its regular promos.

Does FatBet have a promo code?

Not for signing up. Australian rules stop bookies offering a bonus or promo code just for opening an account, so be wary of any site that promises one. Once you have an account, FatBet runs promos for existing customers, and matched betting turns them into cash. Bonusbank members see every current FatBet promo in the promo database.

FatBet runs on the BetMakers platform, like BetaBets, BetLegends, BetLocal, BetSupreme. Bookies on the same platform share the same website and betting system, so once you know one, the rest work the same way.

FatBet is licensed in New South Wales, according to our bookie records. You can check any bookie on the relevant state regulator's register.
