Money
Deposits
Decide your number, let BreadSync split it across your state's books, pay the fast way, and log it. After this page you can fund your first books with the right amount in each.
Pick your number first
Decide the total before you deposit anywhere, rather than funding as you go, and use only money you can spare. About $1,000 to $2,000 is typical. Whatever the amount, work one or two offers at a time, and fund the books those offers need.
Keep a reserve outside the books, even $200. Deposit your last dollar and you have nothing left to fund the other side of the next offer.
Let the Deposit Optimizer split it
The Deposit Optimizer splits your total across your state's books, sized to each book's current welcome offer. Fund the books your first one or two offers need, and the rest as you reach them. Spread out like that, no single book holds your whole bankroll.

Deposit Optimizer
Splits a starting bankroll across your state's books and shows the bonus each unlocks and the estimated profit.
- 1.Leave "Stateside" on and pick your state.
- 2.Type your total into "Bankroll" and press Enter, or drag the slider.
- 3.Fund the books your first one or two offers need, with the amount under each. Fund the next column when you reach it.
- 4."Estimated profit" is the plan's estimate if every offer goes as shown, not a promise.
Offers change, so run it again after a break. If a book you already funded drops off the list, finish that book first. More on the Deposit Optimizer
What each offer needs
Every offer needs money in two places: the book running the offer, and your second book, where you bet the other side. Deposit up to what the offer rewards and no more; dollars above an offer's cap earn nothing.
| Offer | At the offer book | At your second book |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus bets (“Bet $5, get $150”) | The small first bet, usually $5 to $10. | Cash to hedge the bonus bets: about $281 for $150 of them at +250 against -300. |
| Risk-free bet (“up to $500 back”) | Your first bet, up to the cap. | About $409 for a $500 first bet at +110 against -120, counting the refund at about 60%. |
| Deposit match | Only what you can clear by the deadline, and never over the cap (How much to bet). | Cash for the other side of every bet you place to clear the rollover. |
Short on cash for a big risk-free offer? Bet less than the cap. The refund is sized to what you bet, so a smaller first bet still pays in proportion. Risk-Free Bets
How to pay
Set this up once, before your first deposit. Books usually pay withdrawals back the way the money came in, so this also decides how fast you get paid.
| Method | Verdict |
|---|---|
| PayPal or Venmo | Best, where the book takes them. Use a personal account linked to your checking account. Fast both ways, often same-day out. |
| Online banking (ACH) | Fine, especially for larger amounts. Withdrawals can take 3 to 5 business days. |
| Debit card | Fine for deposits. At many books, withdrawals above what you deposited come back by bank transfer, on a slower timeline. |
| Credit card | Avoid. Often declined, and some banks charge sportsbook deposits as a cash advance, with fees. |
Watch out: books reject PayPal deposits that are funded by a credit card. Link PayPal to your checking account, and use a personal account, not a business one.
At the book
- 1Open the deposit page before sending anything and check the welcome offer is there and switched on. Some books show two offers; pick the one you want. If it is unclear, ask live chat and screenshot the answer.
- 2If the offer has a promo code, paste it in before you type the amount. Missed it? Message support the same day.
- 3Say the amount back to yourself, then deposit.
- 4Check your balance shows what you sent, plus any bonus the offer promised, before you place a bet.
Watch out: have a valid, unexpired photo ID before you deposit. Books check it by law, and with an expired one a book can hold your withdrawal until the replacement arrives, which can take months.
Log it the same minute
BreadSync never moves money. It records what you did at the book, and the rest of the app reads from that record: your balances, your profit, your rollover progress, and the Odds Screen's “All books with a balance” filter.

Bankroll
Log deposits, withdrawals and bonuses per book; balances, profit and rollover progress update from your tracked bets.
- 1.First deposit at a book: "Add Sportsbook", put the amount in "Initial Deposit Amount", and any bonus bets in "Free Bet Bonus".
- 2.Every deposit after that: "Add Deposit" > the book > amount > date > "Add Deposit".
- 3.Cash bonus? Put it in "Site Credit". Bonus bets go in "Free Bet Bonus", never in the cash amount.
- 4.Bonus comes with a rollover? Type it in dollars into "Total Rollover" in "Add Deposit", or later under the book's "Edit". "Rollover Multiplier" fills it in as (deposit + bonus) × the multiple, which is right only when the terms say deposit plus bonus.
Getting it back out
The cash you deposit stays yours, and at licensed books you can withdraw it whenever you want. Bonus bets are different: you cannot withdraw them, only convert them. The part of a deposit you never bet usually goes back to the method you paid with, and books call it a refund. If it has not arrived 14 days after the book shows it processed, message support with the date you asked for it and the status shown. Cash out and track it
