If you haven’t heard of bet365 then you’ve probably been living on some distant planet that doesn’t show football matches or horse racing events. If you’re living on planet earth then you’ve probably heard of this gambling giant but you may not have heard of a bet credit.
Bet365 Bet Credits Explained
If you like to place a regular bet on your favourite event you will be familiar with the term free bet. These are usually reserved for new customers as a way to give them some bonus money as a thank you for signing up for an account with them. In addition to this, it’s also used from time to time as a promotion to existing customers. The issue sometimes with free bet promotions is the confusion around the wager requirements that go with them, even the best free bets promotions can have very confusing terms and conditions that go along with them.
So in order to give punters a better understanding and possibly to prevent a fine for confusing advertising bet365 changed their terminology back in 2018 and now use the term bet credits on all of their promotions.
A bet365 bet credit is bonus money that is applied to your account that cannot be withdrawn, only wagered. So as a new customer you will get up to £50 worth of bet credits in the form of a welcome bonus.
Min deposit requirement. Free Bets are paid as Bet Credits and are available for use upon settlement of qualifying bets. Min odds, bet and payment method exclusions apply. Returns exclude Bet Credits stake. Time limits and T&Cs apply. The bonus code 365BC can be used during registration, but does not change the offer amount in any way.
Bet365 are probably one of the most trustworthy bookmakers out there and are pretty transparent when it comes to the small print and what’s involved with any promotions that they run.
In order to claim the maximum £50 bet credits then you need to bet £10 of your own money when you open an account for the first time. Once you login to your account the bet credit is available for you to use, remember they cannot be withdrawn and must be used within 30 days of opening your account.

Are They Withdrawable?
I’m afraid not, the bet credits can only be used to place a bet on an event of your choice or playing casino games, poker or bingo. You can read more about are free bets withdrawable.
Can You Cash Out A Bet Credit?
One of the other major rules that come along with the bet credit terms is that you cannot use them as part of any cashout. Cash out is the ability in play to ‘cancel’ your bet and depending on how the bet is going you can earn more than you wagered if you cash out early rather than let the bet run its course.
So if England is winning 1-0 in the 88th minute are you have backed them to win, you have the ability to cash out your bet for a profit. If the opposition scores a goal after the cashout and England draw the game, then you keep whatever the bookmaker offered you as part of the cashout.
Usually, if you are in a winning position when you cash out then you get more than you stake, if you are in a losing position then it’s typically less than you staked.
