Things worth knowing about money back offers
- Cash or free bet changes the value
- A refund in cash is worth its face value. The same amount as a free bet is worth less, because a free bet returns winnings only. Check which one before you judge the offer.
- The trigger is narrower than the headline
- “Money back if it's a draw” usually means the 90-minute result, not extra time, and often only on specified matches. The operator's wording below is what counts.
- Refunds take time
- Most are credited within 24 hours of settlement, and free bets frequently expire within a week of being awarded.
