Matched Betting Profits Higher Than Expected

At the beginning of June we published a blog piece called “How You Could Make $400 A Month With Just 5 Minutes Work“. The piece talked about our ‘Today’s Plays’ section and how matched betting doesn’t end once you have completed all of the sign up bonuses.

Every day bookies in Australia offer promotions to their customers. These promotions can be exploited for matched betting purposes. Here at bonusbank we identify all of these promos and put them in one convenient place for our members.

We also figure out the optimum strategy for these promos and post our suggested bets as ‘Today’s Plays’. Bonusbank members only have to spend a couple of minutes each day placing the suggested bets.

We first started posting these bets on April 21st of this year. At the time of the last blog piece it looked like we were going to average around $400 per month. Now that we have posted 3 full months of bets it seems like a good time to check in and see how that is going:

Turns out we should have been a bit more optimistic. Instead of $400 per month, we have averaged nearly $550 per month between April 21st and July 20th. The total profit for the period was $1643.36.

We saw an increase in the number of bets placed in June and July. This was largely due to tennis promos for the French Open and Wimbledon. An excellent NRL offer from Ubet also helped to boost our profits. Crownbet chipped in too with their AFL Points Pile-Up.

All of these promos have helped our members add to the large matched betting profits they have made from sign-up bonuses. And it only takes them a few minutes per day. Our advanced members are also making hundreds of dollars every week from horse racing promos.

If you would like to join them you can sign up for a free account to get started. You will get access to 10 beginner tutorials, our matched betting calculator, and a lite version of the best matched betting software in Australia.

There’s no commitment and no need to enter any payment details. So sign up today and see how you could start making money online with matched betting!

The Bonusbank EPL Fantasy Football League(s)

It might only be the middle of July but, here at bonusbank we are already getting excited about the start of the new soccer season.

We’re excited for a couple of different reasons:

The first is that it will make Australia’s best matched betting software even better. With hundreds of games played across Europe every week, we will have a huge range of markets to choose from. That means even higher matched betting profits for our members.

The second reason is that we love football and can’t wait for it to return to the weekend schedule. We don’t just use it for matched betting; we watch the games (even if it means staying up late/getting up early), we read the latest news, and we talk about it constantly.

We think we know quite a bit about football, and we’ve set up a bonusbank fantasy football league to prove it. Actually, we’ve set up two.

The bonusbank championship

The Bonusbank Championship is open to anyone who wants to get involved. Just go to fantasy.premierleague.com, create your team and then use league code 188833-47658 to join.

If you can beat the bonusbank teams, not only will you get bragging rights, you will get the chance to win free bonusbank membership. We’ll be giving a free annual subscription to the winner, 6 months subscription to the runner-up, and 3 months to the 3rd placed finisher.

The bonusbank premiership

If you are a bonusbank premium member you can also join the Bonusbank Premiership. In the Premiership you will be competing for free memberships and a share of our Cash Prize Fund. The fund will grow with every new member that joins the league, so be sure to tell your friends.

This is just one more way that you can make money from a bonusbank premium account. Our matched betting tutorials, tools and support should already be helping you make one of the best hourly rates in Australia.

To find out more, and get the Premiership league code, check out this post in the forum.

The Easiest Way For Backpackers To Make Money in Australia

Australia is an amazing place filled with beautiful beaches, spectacular rainforests, iconic landmarks, and unique wildlife.

It’s not surprising that so many people want to come and visit.

Every year, tens of thousands of backpackers arrive in Australia with a working holiday visa and a plan to see as much of this great country as possible.

There is one problem that most of them have though…Australia is expensive!

 

Show Me The Money!

Compared to other backpacker favourites like SE Asia, India and Latin America, the cost of travelling in Australia is through the roof. A dorm bed, which can cost as little as $4 per night in other parts of the world, can cost up to $60 a night in Australia.

Travel between cities is also far more expensive, and let’s not even get started on the price of a beer.

Image of Fruit Picking Backpacker in Australia

If you want to be a backpacker in Australia you need to be either:

a) a rich kid whose mummy and daddy are paying for everything, or
b) willing to work

Fortunately, work in Australia pays well and there is plenty of it.

If you want to improve your tan you can earn $20 an hour picking fruit in the countryside.
If you prefer the comfort of the A.C. you can pick up office work that can pay $25 an hour or more.

The only problem with these high-paying jobs is that…they are jobs!

You’re not supposed to be working you’re supposed to be travelling!

You need another option…

Matched Betting in Australia

Maybe you’ve heard about matched betting before. After all, it is hugely popular in the UK, where a quarter of working holiday visa holders come from. In fact, you might even know someone who paid for their flights to Australia by matched betting.

In case you haven’t heard of it, let me give a quick explanation:

Matched betting is a technique that allows users to profit from bookmaker sign-up bonuses in a completely risk-free way.

They do this by betting on all possible outcomes so that they can never lose. It’s completely legal and is a fantastic way to make a lot of money in a short space of time. For more information I recommend reading this article in the Guardian newspaper, or checking out the matched betting wikipedia page.

The great news for backpackers is that matched betting in Australia is even more profitable than it is in the UK. There are more than $5000 worth of sign-up bonuses available from Australian bookmakers. They also offer regular promotions that can earn matched bettors hundreds of dollars every week.

The only thing that has been missing, until now, is a service that makes the whole process easy.

Australia’s Best Matched Betting Software

Matched Betting is a great way to make money online. It’s risk-free, it’s tax-free, and it can provide thousands of dollars in profit in just a couple of months.

There are very few legal ways of making money online which provide an hourly rate anywhere close to the kind that can be earned through matched betting.

But what if you wanted to make that hourly rate even better?

 

Enter the bonusbank ATM

The bonusbank ATM is the first, and best, piece of matched betting software to exist in Australia. It is the ultimate time-saving & profit-enhancing tool for matched bettors who want that little bit more.

The ATM is constantly scanning the odds at Australian bookmakers and comparing them with Betfair in order to find the best matched betting opportunities.

It scans thousands of selections every day so that you don’t have to. Instead, you just open the software and the best, most profitable selection is sitting there waiting for you.

Perfect  for Beginners

When you are starting out, matched betting can be daunting. It requires you to place bets with your own cash in order to make a profit, and many people are worried about making a mistake and losing everything.

That’s why we started bonusbank. Our tutorials cover everything you need to know before placing your first bet. There is also support in our forums for anyone who needs it. But without our matched betting tools, the ATM & the calculator, things would be much harder.

By using these tools, beginners just have to open the ATM and select their bookie in order to know what to bet on. Then, when they want to find out how much to bet, they can just put the numbers into the calculator. It’s that easy.

Advanced and Arbitrage

Those who have already completed the bookmaker sign-up offers can still benefit hugely from matched betting software.

With hundreds of dollars available from bookie promos every week, advanced matched bettors often have several bonus bets that they want to turn into hard cash. The ATM helps them do this quickly and with maximum profit, giving them extra time to start earning more.

The ATM also regularly identifies arbitrage opportunities that allow us to make profits without the need for bonus bets.

The odds on sporting events are constantly changing and sometimes the bookies just can’t keep up. With the help of the ATM, bonusbank members can react quickly and secure risk-free profits.

If you want to make serious money while working from home there is no better option than matched betting. If you want to get serious about matched betting there is no better option than bonusbank.

How You Could Make $400 A Month With Just 5 Minutes Work

There is no better way to make money online in Australia than Matched Betting. You can make thousands of dollars for just a few hours work and it can be done by anyone.  It’s no surprise that the number of people making money this way has exploded in recent years.

However, when most people talk about Matched Betting they only talk about the beginning. They only talk about bookmaker sign-up bonuses.

This is completely understandable. If you’re trying to get someone interested in Matched Betting, sign-ups are the way to do it. They can be hugely profitable. They are also the most straightforward kind of bonus, so it is easy to use them to explain how things work.

The problem is that people end up thinking it’s about sign-up bonuses and nothing else. They think that it’s short term. Or, even worse, they think that it’s not for them due to the laws about sign-up bonuses in the State that they live.

Fortunately for us, the reality is very different. Matched Betting goes way beyond sign-up bonuses.

Guardian Matched Betting Quote
Long-Term Matched Betting Profits

Sign-ups are only the start. Bookmakers don’t just compete to win new customers, they also compete to keep their existing ones. And the way they do that is by offering enhanced odds and money-back promotions.

These promos may not be as lucrative as the sign-ups but they offer Matched Bettors a consistent long-term income. In fact, it’s these existing customer offers that have kept me travelling the world for the last seven years.

The offers come in all different shapes and sizes depending on which sport they relate to. Here are some examples from Australian bookmakers:

 

Image of Crownbet Matched Betting Opportunity
William Hill Australia Matched Betting Opportunity
Sportsbet Matched Betting Opportunity

As you can see, these offers aren’t as straightforward as the “Deposit $100, Get a $100 Bonus” sign-up offers.

Existing customer promos require a bit more knowledge and a lot more time. First, you have to trawl through the promo sections of bookie websites to find them all. Then you have to do the maths to figure out which ones are worth doing. It’s not for beginners.

Luckily for bonusbank members, we do all of that work for them.


Daily Matched Betting Opportunities

In our ‘Today’s Plays‘ section we post suggested bets for the best offers around. Our members then follow these bets, confident that we have already done the legwork and they will make a long-term profit.

We started posting ‘Today’s Plays‘ on the 21st of April and we have averaged 5 posts per week since then. As you can see from the graph below, they have done very well:

Matched Betting Profits in Australia With Bonusbank

The total profit for members over the period has been $429.05.

Due to the fact that we do all of the hard work, it only takes members about 5 minutes per day to place these bets. That works out to an hourly rate of about $200p/h!

It’s also worth pointing out that our suggested bets don’t cover horse racing. Horse racing markets move fast, and it is impossible for us to make specific recommendations. Instead, we list all of the offers in a convenient way and give advice in our chatroom while the races are taking place. These offers require a little more work from our members but they are worth it – they can easily add an additional $500-1000 per month.

As much as Matched Bettors love sign-up offers, it’s these existing customer promos that really pay the bills. They keep the cash rolling in long after the sign-up well has run dry. Most of them can also be done no matter where you are in Australia, so anyone can use them to make money.

If you’re new to Matched Betting, we still recommend starting with the sign-up offers first. By opening a Free bonusbank account you can get access to tutorials and tools that will help you get started. Then, once you have a full arsenal of accounts, you can start following ‘Today’s Plays‘ and making hundreds of extra dollars every month for just a few minutes work.

Matched Betting really can provide a regular, risk-free, tax-free income and bonusbank is here to help. Sign up today!

Update – We now have stats for all of 2017. Our average profit was $784 per month. Check out this post for more details.

How To Travel The World With Matched Betting

Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Canada, Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia & Ireland.

That is the list of countries that I have visited since I last had a ‘real’ job in 2010.

I currently live in the beach-town of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, famous for it’s surf breaks and Sunday Funday pool parties.

How have I done it?

You might guess that i’m a trust-fund baby or that I won the lottery, but it’s neither of those things. I’ve managed to travel the world for more than seven years due to something called ‘Matched Betting’.

Travel While Matched Betting
What is Matched Betting?

Don’t get the wrong idea, i’m not a big gambler. I like the occasional punt, and enjoy a day at the races, but I’ve never been very good at it. Fortunately, matched betting is different. It’s a way to make risk-free cash from bookmaker sign up bonuses and promos.

You know the ones i’m talking about:

“Sign up today and get $200 in bonus bets!”

“Bet with us and, if your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd we’ll give you cash back!”

These offers are everywhere. Turn your TV on at the weekend and you can’t get away from them. What most people don’t realise is that it’s possible to guarantee a profit using these offers.

That’s where Matched Betting comes in. By applying a mathematical formula, and using a betting exchange to cover all possible outcomes, matched bettors can make thousands of dollars every month from the comfort of their own home…or a hammock on a Caribbean island…or a Buddhist temple in Thailand…or the top of a Nicaraguan volcano (*all places that i have actually placed bets).

I first discovered this amazing way to make money while working an office job in Scotland in 2008. There was an online forum that had a long post with instructions for beginners. I must have read that post at least once a week for the next two months before i got up the nerve to place a bet. It seemed too good to be true.

Once I got started though, there was no stopping me. Within a year I had earned enough that I was comfortable quitting my job and buying a one-way ticket to Argentina. The next three years were spent in Latin America before chance took me to Australia. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Aussie bookies are very generous. In fact, they were so generous that they paid for a four month trip around South-East Asia. They’re still paying the bills now that i’m back in my newly-adopted home of Nicaragua.

It’s been an interesting seven years – both for me and for Matched Betting.

Back when i started hardly anyone knew what Matched Betting was. Now that’s not the case. It has blown up in the U.K. over the last 3-4 years and now you can read articles about it in The Guardian or The Telegraph. You can also find threads about it on forums like MumsNet (it’s perfect for stay-at-home mums), TheStudentRoom (same goes for students) and MoneySavingExpert. And there have been advances in the tools available, making it even more accessible to beginners.

What has been lacking is a website that is dedicated to Matched Betting in Australia.

Matched Betting in Australia

Australian gambling laws are different from the laws in the U.K. (in fact they change from state to state), and Australia has different bookmakers and different types of offers. This means that U.K. focused Matched Betting guides have limited use in Australia.

That is why we have created bonusbank.

The tools and tutorials on this site can help anyone in Australia or New Zealand to make money from Matched Betting. It doesn’t matter if you are useless at maths and know nothing about sports, we do all of that for you.

The bonusbank ATM – the only software of it’s kind in Australia – identifies the best matched betting opportunities around. Our calculator then tells you exactly how much you should bet to maximise your profits. And, if you’re still unsure about something, the bonusbank community forum is always available to help.

It’s everything that i wish i had when i was starting out.

Australia's Only Matched Betting Software

At this point some of you are probably thinking ‘What’s the catch?’. That’s how i felt back in 2008. To find the answer to that question you should check out our FAQs. When you’ve done that you can then sign up for a Free account where you will have access to all of our beginner tutorials, our calculator, and a Lite version of the ATM. We’ll even give you step-by-step instructions on how to make up to $100 from a bookie sign-up bonus.

We’re confident that after you have completed our beginner tutorials you will be convinced of the potential of Matched Betting. You will be ready to upgrade to Premium and start making a serious, long-term, tax-free income.

There’s no obligation to use that income to travel the world – you could use it to pay off debt or buy a car – but if you do, and you ever find yourself in Nicaragua, look me up. I’ll buy you a beer!
