The Big List of Bookies for Matched Betting (Grouped by Owner/Operator) | A TightAsF_ck Compendium
Matched betting appears a lot on r/beermoneyuk. I've been slowly easing myself (back) into matched betting for the past few months (I actually did a bit of this many years ago).
But I don't like doing things by half, and some pain in the butt put the idea of making a list of all UK bookies together. So I made that about a month ago. But then some other pain in the butt put the idea of grouping all of said bookies by owner/operator. This is because some bookies talk to each other.
Compiled after much Googling, spreadsheeting, and checking with the Gambling Commission. There may be some errors, so please point them out. ^(I was right confused by FSB Technologies and Vivaro, AG Ltd, & Progressive Play)
Whilst matched betting is technically not gambling, it brings you right into the hornets nest. If you have, have ever, or think you may a propensity towards developing a gambling problem, please check out the following resources:

And it you do not understand the maths behind matched betting, please step away from this too.
And first, a preamble....
What is matched betting?
Matched betting is a simple technique used to profit off of bookie sign up bonuses and promotions. It's "risk-free in theory betting". It is best explained with the simple example of a free bet given to you by your favourite bookie for being one of their "favorite customers":
- You rub your hands with glee as you place that free bet on your favourite team to win at the weekend.
- At the same time, you lay that bet on an exchange.
Laying the bet is when you bet on that outcome not to happen. In this example, you are essentially betting on your team to lose or draw (not win).
- By adjusting how much you lay, you guarantee some profit.
In reality, many free bets require you to first place a "qualifying bet". With matched betting techniques, you place this bet and lay it at the same time to gain the free bet for a small cost. For example, a "free" £10 bet that requires a £10 qualifying bet will cost around £0.50. You can then "guarantee" that you walk away with up to ~£9.50 of the free bet - or £9 profit.
In addition to "free bets" from sign up offers, there are also more advanced ways to profit from matched betting (bet clubs, extra places, 2ups).
Here's an example of a free bet I took advantage of last week, and how I ensured I would profit by a minimum of £4.54.
| Outcome | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bet | Stake | Bookie/exchange | Bet | Odds | Zurich Win | Zurich Lose |
| Back Bet | £10 (free bet) | Virgin Bet | Zurcih to win | 1.9 | £9 | £0 |
| Lay Bet | 4.55 (£4.46 liability) | Smarkets | Zurich not to win (Grasshoppers or Draw) | 1.98 | -£4.66 | £4.55 |
| Profit | £4.54 | £4.55 |
^(Some might point out that I could have "secured" more from this bet, I know.)
Where can I actually learn matched betting?
There are many guides on the sub. But all will point you towards several sites to really learn matched betting. The best of these sites require paid memberships (£25-£30/month). These can be cancelled at any time, but there are also free options.
Paid Options
Outplayed (AKA Profit Accumulator)
Profit Accumulator is the most popular matched betting site on beermoneyuk. It is a very well-designed matched betting site with a ridiculous number of high-quality guides, lists of sign up offers, and "Odds Matching" Software that helps you identify the best matches to place your bets on.
With the link above, you can get a free trial where you will be taught the basics and earn ~£40 along the way. After that it costs £29.99/month. I used this in October to earn ~£200.
Oddsmonkey is Profit Accumulator's main competitor. They are actually the developers of the first oddsmatching software, and were the tool I used when I first started matched betting years ago.
The website has the same functionality as Profit Accumulator. The link above also offers a free trial where you can learn whilst earning £40. After the trial, it only costs £24.99/month. For this subscription fee it also offers access to casino offers which gives it a slight advantage over Profit Accumulator. I now have an active OddsMonkey subscription and will be giving it my best this month.
When I first started back at Matched Betting earlier in the year, I asked for recommendations resources and initially used the guides/offers posted on free websites: But in the end I tried out Profit Accumulator because many people on here said "the membership pays for itself". I'm trying out OddsMonkey because its cheaper, and I'm TightAsF_ck.
Other paid options include Matched Bets, and Profit Maximiser (these ones looks a bit.... rubbish).
Free Options
Matched Betting Blog, Team Profit, & Profit Squad.
What bookies give away free bets?
Short answer: a lot of them.
There are more than 100 bookies in the UK. Almost all of them have lucrative sign up offers, and most also offer free bets at various intervals.
Where can I lay my bets?
Again, all the sites above will teach you these, and help you sign up. There are not as many betting exchanges as there are bookies. In fact, I think there are only five (in alphabetical order):
- BetDAQ
- BetFair - same owners as Paddy Power, Sky Bet, and more.
- Matchbook - 0% commission if signing up via Profit Accumulator (link below)
- Smarkets - 0% commission if signing up via Profit Accumulator (link below)
- Spreadex

Disclaimers:
Not all bookies will have sign up offers.
Some bookies are owned by the same group, so you may not get welcome bonuses from all bookies within a group.
You need to do your own research. I provide this list of bookies and I tried my best to make sure everything is accurate. But there may be mistakes, and I have not used all of these bookies. In fact, I have, at one point or another, signed up to about 15 now. I made the list so I could go through all of the bookies. I may find that some are subpar. You may too. Please comment if you do.
