If you’ve just received a $10 bonus bet on Bet365, that means you can place a bet valued at up to $10 without using your own money. The bonus bet itself is not cash, so you can’t withdraw it, but any winnings from that bet (your profit) are real and can be withdrawn once you meet the bonus terms. For example, if you bet $10 with a bonus and win at +150 odds, your account would get about $15 in profit, plus the potential play‑through requirement on that amount. This is a risk‑free way to test new markets or try a longer shot without touching your own balance.

Before you use the $10 bonus bet, log in to Bet365 and check your bonus balance. On the mobile app, tap your profile icon in the top right, then go to “Account” or “Bonuses.” On desktop, look for the “Account” or “Promotions” section near the top. There you should see a line like “Bonus Bet Balance: $10” and a clear expiry date, usually around seven days from when the bonus is issued. If you don’t see it, try clicking “View Terms” to confirm you’ve met the condition that gave you the bonus, such as a “Bet $10, Get $200 in Bonus Bets” promo. Knowing the expiry date helps you plan how to use all or part of your $10 before it disappears.

Next, pick a market you feel comfortable with and add a bet to your betslip. For instance, you might choose the spread on an NBA game, the moneyline on an NHL match, or a team total in MLB. Tap the odds you want, and the bet automatically appears in your betslip on the right‑hand side (desktop) or at the bottom of the screen (app). At this point the stake will show as a cash amount, even if your main balance is low or empty. That’s normal, because Bet365 lets you switch between real money and bonus funds after you’ve built your betslip, not before.

Now it’s time to switch from cash to the $10 bonus bet. In the betslip window, look for a button that says “Use Bonus Bet,” “Use Bonus Funds,” or something similar. Tap it, and the screen will list your available bonus‑bet balance, which should show $10. You can choose to use the full $10 or smaller amounts, like $2 or $5, if you want to place multiple bonus bets. For example, you could place two $5 bonus bets on different matches instead of one $10 bet. Once you select the bonus amount, the betslip clearly changes to show that the stake is coming from “Bonus Bet” or “Promo” funds, not from your real‑money balance.

After you switch to the bonus‑bet stake, place your wager. Review the selection, odds, and amount once more, then tap “Place Bet.” A confirmation message will pop up, usually saying something like “Your bet has been placed using bonus funds.” If your prediction wins, you keep the profit. For example, a $10 bonus bet on a team at +100 odds would return about $10 in profit; at +200 odds, it would be about $20 in profit. If the bet loses, the $10 bonus is simply gone, and you don’t owe any extra money. Bonus bets are designed to be risk‑free for you, so there’s no downside other than losing the bonus itself.

Once your $10 bonus bet wins, the profit posts to your cash balance. You can then withdraw that amount, use it to place more bets, or combine it with other promotions. For instance, if you turn a $10 bonus bet into $15 in profit, that $15 becomes real money you can use freely. If you still have unused bonus funds, you can split them into smaller bets across different games or sports. For example, you might place one $3 bonus bet on an NFL game, another $3 on an NBA game, and keep $4 for a same‑game parlay later. Just remember to check the terms so you know how much of your profit must be wagered again before you can withdraw it, and keep an eye on the expiry clock so you don’t leave any bonus balance to go to waste.
