Can I do matched betting?
Iâve never placed a bet before⊠help?
I know nothing about football or horse racing... will I still make money?
These are just a handful of questions weâve had come into our inbox in the past few weeks, so we thought weâd go and make a quick blog post explaining who can do matched betting, and why you should be doing it.
The 3 (not so) Big Questions
How old are you?Â
If youâre 18 or older, then you can sign up to and place bets at bookmakers.
Do you live in the UK?
One of the perks of living in the UK is that you have access to a truckload of free bets, bonuses and new customer offers, from over 50 online bookmakers. If you live in the UK, youâre in luck.
Do you have a laptop, phone or tablet with internet access?
Weâre going to assume itâs a yes considering youâre reading this blog postâŠ
So, hopefully you got 3 out of 3 for those questions, but what about the other hurdles when it comes to getting started?
