How to work it
The covered bet here can be up to $500, $250 or $100, depending on your state, plus money for the other side at a second book. Each estimate above counts 50% of the offer; worked with a hedge, risk-free offers have typically kept about 30% of the amount bet.
- 1Opt in first. If you cannot find the opt-in, ask live chat whether your first bet qualifies.
- 2Bet a side near even money here, and the other side at a second book.
- 3If it loses, the refund arrives as bonus bets. Convert them. How

Odds Screen · Risk-Free Bet view
Pick the book and your stake; it finds the bet-and-hedge pair that leaves the most whether the first bet wins or loses.
- 1.Set "Select Risk-Free Book" to BetRivers and "Risk-Free Stake" to the bet you want covered, up to the offer's cap for one bet.
- 2.Type 60 into "FB Conversion %". It defaults to 70; 60 is the safer estimate for the refund.
- 3.Take a top row: the BetRivers bet first, then the other side at the stake shown.
- 4."Add to Tracker" logs both. If the BetRivers bet loses, convert the refund on the "Free Bet" tab.
Walk me through it, one step per screen with the math done for you: the $500 offer, the $100 offer or the $250 offer.
Where it fits
An offer book. Work the risk-free offer, cash out and move on.
You get one welcome offer per book. Sign up with your real details, and you must be in a state where BetRivers is licensed when you bet.
How its offers work
- A risk-free bet up to $100, $250 or $500, depending on your state. If the first bet loses, the stake comes back as bonus bets. Check the live terms before you deposit.
- Deposit exactly what your state's offer covers: $100, $250 or $500. Anything above the cap is not covered.
- An example: $500 at +120 at BetRivers and about $452 on the other side at -130 comes to about $148 either way, if both bets are accepted as shown and the refund converts at about 60%.
Odds cap on bonus bets. None on record. Check the offer terms, and if there is a cap, type it into "Max Odds" on the Free Bet view: the app does not set one for US books.
Practical details
- It is not in every legal state. North Carolina has legal betting but no BetRivers, so check it is live where you are.
- Bet the other side at FanDuel. Its bet slip shows your max bet, so you know the hedge fits before you place the BetRivers side.
- It is known to limit winning accounts quickly. That costs little once its offer is done. If a book limits you
Cashing out. Licensed books usually pay out within 1 to 3 business days, and PayPal linked to your bank is often the fastest. Cash out and track it
