Opening accounts

Over on our bookmakers page, we organize all the bookmakers we support by the order we recommend opening accounts with them.

The ones under the "early" category are all classified as high safety - meaning they'll be far more likely to honour bets, be responsive to customer inquiries, and have fair terms and conditions. They're also all corporate bookmakers.

Checklist

  • Use your matched betting email address when signing up
  • Use your real name and details
  • If required to pick a username, pick a username that doesn't relate to any online presence
  • Only deposit and withdraw to your matched betting bank account, which should also be in your real name
  • When opening accounts, always opt in to receiving promotional material!

There's no reason not to go through now and open accounts with these early stage bookmakers to see what sort of deposit bonuses they're willing to offer you.

Some bookmakers may take time to send you a welcome offer. We recommend opening an accounts with multiple bookmakers at once to maximise your chances of getting offers quickly.
