Get started
Your first offer
Start with the simplest kind: bet a small amount, get bonus bets, turn them into cash. Here is the whole thing on one page, then we walk you through it for real, one step per screen.
The steps
- 1Read the offer at the book, under Promotions. Opt in if it asks, and check two things: does the first bet have to win, and does it need a minimum price? For most “Bet $5, get bonus bets” offers it does not have to win.
- 2Place the small first bet it asks for, the qualifying bet. Just the minimum, on any game at a price the terms allow. If it has to win, pick a heavy favorite. A $5 bet does not need covering on the other side.
- 3Wait for the bonus bets. They show under Promotions or a Bonus Bets tab, some right away, most after the first bet's game finishes. Many arrive in pieces: $150 can come as three $50 bonus bets, a week apart.
- 4Convert each piece: the bonus bet on an underdog at this book, cash on the other team at your second book. Turn bonus bets into cash shows how, in BreadSync or by hand.
- 5Log both bets, let the games finish, then add up both books. Both balances minus what you deposited is your real result.

Step 4 is the one BreadSync does for you. Pick the book holding the bonus bets and it ranks every other side at your books, with the cash bet sized.
- 1.In “Select Free Bet Book”, pick the book with the bonus bets. Type one piece, like $50, into “Free Bet Size”.
- 2.In “Books”, switch on your second book. If your book caps bonus-bet odds, type the cap into “Max Odds”.
- 3.Take a top row: bonus bet first, then the cash bet at the stake shown. The green bookmark (“Add to Tracker”) logs both.

What to expect
A $150 bonus-bet offer typically ends up around $80 to $105 in cash, depending on the prices you find that day: about 55% to 70% of the bonus, minus the $5 first bet if it lost. It is an estimate, not a promise.

Offers by State
Every licensed welcome offer in your state, ranked by what it is worth converted, with the date its terms were last confirmed. Check yours before you deposit; offers change often.
While you learn, give each bet 5 to 10 minutes, most of it finding your way around two apps. Every book after this uses the same steps, and it gets faster each time.
Questions about the first offer
- My first bet lost. Do I still get the bonus? On most “bet and get” offers, yes, win or lose. If the terms say the first bet must win, the bonus only arrives if it does.
- The bonus came in pieces. One conversion or several? One per piece. Each keeps about the same share, and different games are fine.
- How long do I have? Bonus bets often expire 7 days after they land. Convert them within a day or two, soonest-expiring first.
- Can I put a bonus bet on a parlay? Some books allow it. Do not: use single bets, so the other side can be covered cleanly.
- The bonus landed as cash, not bonus bets. Then there is nothing to convert. Check the terms for any betting requirement before you withdraw (Deposit matches and rollover).
Watch out: on the bet slip, switch the bonus bet on before you place it (a toggle or “Use bonus bet”). If it stays off, the bet uses your cash. Afterwards, check that your bonus balance went down and your cash did not.
