With some bookies, it is pretty easy to find selections that will give you 80%+ returns on your bonus bets, but that isn’t the case for all of them.

There are specific bookies where finding a 75% match is like finding a polar bear in a snowstorm. They’re probably out there somewhere, but you’re unlikely to find them without the right guide and a lot of patience.

That is why we’ve created our latest matched betting tool – ATM Alerts.

ATM ALERTS

ATM Alerts is a chrome extension that constantly scans the ATM and sends you a notification when a selection matches your criteria.

You can completely customise the type of notification you want to receive:

• If you want a 90% return on your Sportsbet bonus, Alerts will help you find it.
• If you only have a small float and need an 80% return at odds of under 6.00, Alerts will help you with that too.
• Suppose you have a bonus that you can only use on a particular sport, no problem. Alerts has you covered.

The extension is always running in the background, looking for the best matches, so you don’t have to.

Arbitrage

Alerts don’t only work with bonus bets. You can also run searches based on the SR value of a selection. Alerts is excellent for completing turnover requirements, but you can also use them for arbitrage.
Enter a positive figure in the SR field. The extension will send you a notification any time an arbitrage opportunity appears on the ATM.
These opportunities appear several times each day and offer users the chance to make risk-free cash.
Arbitrage isn’t recommended for everyone, though, only those who have already had promotions removed from their bookie accounts..

Downloading & Installation

Suppose you have already used our HorsePower chrome extension. In that case, you are probably familiar with this process, but here are the steps for those who haven’t:

1. Download the zipped file from this page
2. Extract the files to a folder on your desktop
3. Open Chrome and type chrome://extensions into the address bar
4. Turn ‘Developer mode’ on using the button in the top-right, then click on ‘Load unpacked’
5. Select the folder with the extracted files
6. The ATM Alerts icon should now be in your toolbar

If you have any doubts you can checkout the video tutorial on how to install HorsePower here.

Using ATM Alerts

Once you have installed the extension, it should be pretty straightforward to use, but here is a video of it in action, just in case.

Feedback

Like all of our tools, ATM Alerts is a work in progress.

We are always looking for things to add or improve to make matched betting even more effortless for our members.

So if you have any feedback about ATM Alerts, please let us know.

Like just about everyone else, we were busy over the holiday period. So it almost escaped our notice that our daily plays have now broken through the $25,000 profit mark!

With no major Aussie sport during November and the first half of December, things have been a little bit quiet recently, but the profits have still been creeping up. We’re currently standing at $25,306.

That profit has been earned by taking advantage of bookmaker promotions which turn the odds in favour of the punter. When used correctly, these promotions guarantee a profit over the medium- to long-term, as our profit graph shows.

Although the steepness of the graph varies, it only ever moves in one direction – up!

The total profit averages out to over $40 per day, which is pretty good considering it only takes our members about 10 minutes each day to follow the plays.

With the Big Bash League now in full swing, and the Aussie Open starting next week, we are now leaving the quieter time of the year for matched betting.

In fact, it’s not long until a matched bettors favourite time of year – the return of NRL and AFL in March!

If you want to be ready to take advantage of all of the great promos that will be available, sign up and start learning the matched betting basics today.

You can earn thousands of dollars from sign up bonuses before the season starts, then thousands more from promotions afterwards. 

If you are keen to get started, you can get Premium membership between now and the first NRL game on March 14th for just $79. That’s 25% off our standard monthly price!

Sign up now using the code 25K to make sure you don’t miss out.

2018 has been a great year for matched betting in Australia, especially for bonusbank members. 

Since launching in April 2017 we’ve successfully managed to help thousands of Aussies to make a risk free and tax free income by taking advantage of promotions that bookmakers offer. We’ve even managed to change the lives of some of our members!

Here’s a snapshot of what has happened in the last 12 months:

Today’s Plays

One thing that isn’t covered in this chart is horse racing. Our members select their own racing bets, so it isn’t possible for us to track the results. We do know one thing for sure though – racing is the most consistently profitable sport for matched betting.

Every weekend bookies offer refund or bonus bets if your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd. Approached correctly, these offers can add hundreds of dollars every week to your matched betting profits.

As racing is so popular for betting, these offers aren’t going anywhere. They will continue to be one of our biggest earners in 2019.

New Features

It’s been a busy year for the bonusbank team, we’ve been adding a lot of features to improve the membership experience. 

Dutching Software – The first and only dutching software in Australia was launched this year, a great tool to help with turnover requirements and finding arbitrage opportunities. 

HorsePower – You asked, we delivered. It’s still in the beta phase, however should be fully completed by early Jan 2019. This extension helps extract bonus bets from racing offers and also helps turnover bonus bets too!

Calculators – We’ve added a bunch of new calculators, including the SNR Multi Calculator, Multi-matcher, EV Calculator and multi-promo calculator. We’ve also added some extra calculators, including our latest one which helps you take advantage of Betfair’s 20% boosts. 

ATM Updates – BetEasy, BestBet, Neds, and Pointsbet were all added this year. We also extended our range of sports to include NFL, helping to fill the gap during the AFL/NRL off-season.

What else has happened? 

• The new regulations surrounding signup bonuses came and went without any major disturbance to the matched betting landscape. Punters in NSW will no longer see signup bonuses advertised directly by the bookmakers, but they can still get them by using sites like punters.com.au and racenet.com.au
• We’ve created a free Facebook group. Feel free to join and assist any newbies. 
• We upgraded our chatroom software. The chatroom now has a better design and more features. 
• Our affiliate payment has increased. Refer a friend to bonusbank and you will receive over $10.68 for every month that they are a member. Share your unique link, which can be found in our affiiates section. 

So what’s next for 2019?

Without giving away too much, we have some great features and additions planned for next year. 

Regular updates to HorsePower will continue throughout January, and we also have another exciting feature that we will be launching in the next couple of weeks. This one will help our members save one of the most precious things – time!

The ATM will continue to grow in size over the next year, with more bookies and more markets to be added. We will also be adding new calculators and tools to make sure that our members can profit from every available bookmaker promotion. 

Last, but certainly not least, we would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. 

On behalf of the bonusbank team, we wish you all a healthy and happy new year! 

Since Betfair launched in the UK in 2000, people have been using it to exploit bookmaker signup offers. This is known as matched betting.

Here’s a really simple explanation of how it works:

If i sign up to Tab they will give me a $100 bonus bet. I can use that bonus to back Australia against New Zealand at odds of $2.00.

I then go to Betfair and place a lay bet on Australia, also at $2.00. A lay bet is a bet that something won’t happen. It’s the kind of bet that a bookie makes when they take our money.

By placing a back bet and a lay bet, it’s like i am both the punter and the bookie. The two bets will cancel each other out, but the key is that I only used my own money for one of them. The other was the bonus bet.

If Australia win i will lose my $100 at Betfair, but i will get paid out $200 at Tab = $100 profit.

If they don’t win i will get $100 profit at Betfair. I’ll lose the bonus bet at Tab, but that didn’t cost me anything anyway = $100 profit.

By betting both sides you can turn the bonus bet into guaranteed cash. It really is a bet that you can’t lose.

Is it really that easy??

Almost. That was a simplified example to explain the basics.

In reality, matched betting is a little trickier – but that is where bonusbank comes in.

Using more than 15 years of combined matched betting experience, we have developed tutorials, calculators and software that make it easy for anyone in Australia to make money from matched betting.

And it’s not just the signup bonuses. You can also make a regular income from the weekly cash back or bonus bet promos that bookies offer.

How to start matched betting in Australia

Getting started is easy. You can sign up for a free bonusbank account today and start reading through the beginner tutorials. The free account also includes access to a Lite version of our oddsmatcher software, plus a basic matched betting calculator.

Using these tools, you can complete your first signup bonus and see for yourself that matched betting really is the best way to make money online in Australia.

Get the best odds

First of all, if you’re a mug punter and just want to place a standard bet, there’s no better place than Betfair.

Why? Because Betfair almost always has the best odds.

For example, a $10 bet on Ace High to win at Tab would return $610 if it won. The same bet placed at Betfair would return $1200 (minus commission)…..that’s nearly double the return! 

ADD SOME VALUE

Now, if you’re like us you won’t be placing any mug bets because, well, that’s for mugs. Instead, you’ll be taking advantage of the bookmaker promos on offer.

The promos listed below all offer some free insurance that gives you an opportunity to recover at least some of your money if your horse doesn’t win. If you are having a smallish punt on one of the favourites it would be smart to use one of these bookies:

Pointsbet – Run Top 5 for The Melbourne Cup at Flemington on Tuesday 6th November, get money back as Bonus up to $50.

TabTouch – Money back if your horse runs 2nd, 3rd or 4th (Up to $25)

Beteasy – run 2nd, 3rd or 4th and get your stake back in rewards points up to $30

Sportsbet – run 2nd or 3rd, get bonus bet back of $25

Unibet – Get up to $25 (as a racing bonus bet) if your first win bet on the Melbourne Cup finishes 2nd or 3rd.

You could also take advantage of these promos by backing a horse at the bookie and then laying it at Betfair. These two bets will roughly cancel each other out, so you won’t make any money if the horse wins, but if the insurance kicks in you will make a profit. This is a low-risk, high-return strategy that we explain more in our tutorials.

If you are looking for even more value, Bluebet, BetEasy and Sportsbet all have an odds boost feature that you can use to increase your returns. 

BE A SMART PUNTER

The Melbourne Cup is a fun event which brings people together over a punt but, even if this is your only bet of the year, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t still be looking for the best value. By following the advice above you will automatically be betting smarter than 80% of punters.

If you are a more regular punter, being in the top 20% probably isn’t good enough. You need all of the available tools to make a long term profit. For that, you need to sign up to bonusbank.

We’ve been big fans of the Business of Betting podcast since it was first brought to our attention by one of our members last year.

There are over 60 episodes of the podcast, which interviews people from all aspects of the gambling industry. Within those episodes is a wealth of information and insight.

As big fans, it was a real pleasure to be invited onto the show by Jake to talk about matched betting in his latest episode.

If you want to check it out you can download it via itunes, or listen below.

Australia’s best matched betting software, the bonusbank ATM, keeps getting better!

With the AFL & NRL seasons coming to a close, we wanted to make sure that our members weren’t going to be short of matched betting opportunities. So we have added a new sport to our oddsmatcher software – NFL.

With 16 games each week between now and January, and no shortage of liquidity, NFL is the perfect sport to fill the gap left by AFL & NRL.

There are also several bookmaker promotions for NFL, and our NFL plays for the first weekend have already made us a profit. We expect that to continue of the coming months.

Some of the bookie promotions are for multis. We do not make suggested bets for these promos, but our multi-matcher tool is available to help members make the most of them.

In addition to NFL, we have also added data for Pointsbet to the software, and we have several other features and upgrades in the works.

If you’d like to get a feel for the matched betting tools and services offered by bonusbank, you can use the code NFL10 to get a 10-day free trial of the Premium service.

Check it out and start making money online today!

The only condition is that, in order to win the prize fund you have to be a bonusbank Premium member for at least 4 months during the season. Anyone who doesn’t meet that criteria will only be eligible to win free membership.

We already have 10 teams entered in the league, so it looks like the prize fund will reach the maximum amount. Entries will remain open until the end of the first round of games on August 13th.

To join, just go to the official fantasy football site and use the league code 991649-257032.

Good Luck!

The World Cup is currently on pause for a couple of days so that the players can be fresh for the Quarter-Final stage. The break has also given matched bettors a chance to catch their breath after what has possibly been the greatest ever month for matched betting in Australia.

It was certainly great for Bonusbank members who have been following our daily plays. We smashed our previous best ever month and recorded a profit of $2779.63! 

That means that we have now had four consecutive months of $1000+ profits. In fact, our average for 2018 is now at over $1600 profit every month.

What’s more, those figures are based on our advised stakes, which we keep at a conservative level so that all members can achieve them. Some of our advanced members have been applying higher stakes and more advanced strategies, and have recorded even higher profits as a result!

Although the bulk of the World Cup is now behind us, that doesn’t mean that the matched betting is over. Once we have caught our breath we will be back at it with AFL & NRL tomorrow, the Quarter-Finals and horse racing at the weekend, and the the final State of Origin game next week.

The money-making opportunities just keep coming 😀

Early payout offers settle your bet as a winner as soon as a certain trigger event happens. It could be an AFL team leading by 24 points, an NRL team scoring 20 points, or a soccer team leading by 2 goals.

The beauty of these offers is that there is no guarantee that the team who trigger the payout will win the game. If they don’t, and you have backed and laid pre-match, you will win at both the bookmaker and Betfair.

The chances of a team coming back from 24 down are slim though. That’s why the Bonusbank early payout calculator is designed to help you guarantee a profit whatever the outcome. This is done by placing an additional in-play bet.

The calculator has been very popular with our members, who have collectively made tens of thousands of dollars profit using this method (one member made $7.5k in a single day!).

However, we had some requests to make it even better by allowing for multiple additional back bets to be placed, rather than just one. So, we duly delivered. Here is what it looks like now…

Get Involved

If you want to maximise your matched betting returns, early payout offers need to be part of your arsenal. Version 2.0 of the Bonusbank early payout calculator makes it easy for anyone to lock-in a profit.

To start using the new calc and making money from early payouts, sign up to Bonusbank today!

and liquidity column, and we have Australia’s only dutching software. However, one of the first things we added was the ‘Today’s Plays‘ section.

The ‘Plays’ are where we advise members on the best way to approach all of the available bookmaker promotions on any given day. We show how to take these promos and use them to flip the odds in your favour.

Some people have (understandable) doubts about matched betting when they first hear about it. It sounds too good to be true, so they assume it is a scam. The best way to prove otherwise is through hard evidence. If we could actually use bookie promos to flip the odds in our favour we would have seen consistent profits over the medium- to long-term, right?

Well, exactly one year since we posted our first plays, the evidence is in…

Not only have we made a profit every month since we started, we have made a profit every week! That seems pretty consistent to me.

In total, the plays have made a profit of $10,919.08 in the last year. That is an average of $909.92 every month, or $29.91 profit every single day!

If you want to see a breakdown of how we did in each month you can find it here.

One thing worth noting is that we started out pretty slowly. If you exclude the beta phase from the results, and only look at the data starting from our full launch in June, the average increases to a whopping $1049 every month.

In addition to the profits made on the plays, more experienced bonusbank members also take advantage of horse racing promos. These promos can easily return an extra $1000+ per month, and the bonusbank chatroom is packed every Saturday with matched bettors topping up their bank accounts.

Sports arbitrage is becoming more popular all over the world, and it isn’t really a surprise. I mean, who wouldn’t want to make risk-free profits?

In case you aren’t already familiar with arbitrage, here is a quick explanation:

Arbitrage opportunities arise when a two markets price the same item differently. For example, if i can buy gold on Market A for $100 and sell it, at the exact same time, on Market B for $101, this is an arbitrage opportunity. I can make 1% profit instantly.

Sports arbitrage works in exactly the same way, but it involves buying and selling bets instead of shares or commodities.

Arbitrage Via A Betting Exchange

If the idea of buying and selling bets seems strange to you, it is probably because you aren’t familiar with betting exchanges.

Betting exchanges, such as Betfair, allow you sell bets to other people. This is known as ‘laying a bet’, and it is what bookmakers do every day.

If you can buy a bet from a traditional bookmaker at high odds, and then sell it on a betting exchange at lower odds, this is an arbitrage opportunity.

It isn’t easy to find these opportunities on your own but, fortunately, the bonusbank ATM can do it for you:

In this case, you could back Crystal Palace at a bookmaker at odds of 2.00 and then lay them on Betfair at odds of 1.90. By doing this you could guarantee $2.70 profit for every $100 bet.

Arbitrage by Dutching

Dutching is a matched betting technique that removes the need for a betting exchange. Instead, we use multiple bookmakers to cover all possible outcomes.

When it comes to sports arbitrage, dutching has a lot of advantages over using a betting exchange. For a start, betting exchanges charge commission on every winning bet. This can seriously reduce already thin profit margins. Also, if you want to sell a bet on a betting exchange there has to be someone willing to buy it. Most arbitrage opportunities exist in less popular markets where it might be difficult to get any takers on Betfair.

The only downside to dutching is that, with so many bookies to compare, it is a lot more time-consuming.

Or, at least it was…

Dutching Software

Bonusbank recently launched the only dutching software to exclusively feature Australian bookmakers. It compares odds from 16 different bookies to find the best sports arbitrage opportunities.

The software can identify arbs in 2-way markets – such as Basketball, Tennis, AFL, & NRL – and also in 3-way markets – such as soccer.

It can also be used for non-arbitrage dutching. This is useful when you have to complete a wagering requirement after a winning bonus bet.

To see how much you should bet in order to guarantee your profit, you just click the calculator icon on the right.

Arbitrage betting is just one of the ways that bonusbank members can profit from Australian bookmakers. They can also make thousands of dollars from signup bonuses and existing customer promos.

If you would like to learn more, sign up for a free account today.

There is no shortage of possibilities…but only if you are willing to put in the time and effort.

You need to build your audience, or grow your email list, or market your products. Even then, there are no guarantees of success.

Matched Betting

If you are looking for an option that requires less effort and provides consistent profits, you might want to consider matched betting. In particular, you might want to consider following the daily plays that we provide to premium bonusbank members.

Each day, we search for the best bookmaker promotions in Australia. We then use our years of matched betting experience to combine them in a way that provides the best risk-return ratio. Our members then spend just a few minutes each day placing our suggested bets and sit back to watch the profits roll in.

These bets are not 100% risk-free (you can make risk-free profits from bookmaker sign-up offers though), but the odds are heavily tilted in our favour due to the bookie promos.

In fact, the odds are so much in our favour that in over 11 months we have never had a losing week. What’s more, we have just passed the $10,000 total profit mark!

The Best Time To Join

We always knew that our members would make great profits from following our daily plays. We’ve been placing these bets ourselves for years, so we know they work. What we didn’t expect was to hit the $10k mark in less than a year!

Our current profit equates to $30 per day, every day since April 21st 2017! However, that figure has been boosted by some amazing recent returns. The new AFL & NRL seasons have brought an abundance of promos, and bonusbank members have been cleaning up as a result. In March alone we have seen profits of almost $1700!

These ‘new season’ promos are only going to continue for the next couple of weeks. There will still be some promos after that, and we will continue to profit from them, but not on the same scale.

If you want to start making consistent profits with minimal effort, now is the time to start. Click on the button below to join hundreds of others profiting from matched betting in Australia.
