Earn €500 - Your First Month with Matched Betting
This guide will show you how we recommend you spend your first month.
In this guide we assume you have already completed our Schnupperkurs or that you have matched betting experience.
If you have not taken our Schnupperkurs yet then just click on the button below to go directly there.
Just a few general notes before you get going:
1The offers contained in this guide are only suggestions. We have put together a list of offers that we believe are more beginner friendly.
2If you follow this guide and complete the offers then it is realistic to earn around €500 within your first month.
3Go at a pace that suits you. If you would like to go faster, then by all means go for it. At the same time, don’t feel that you have to complete everything in your first month.
4The figures indicated are only averages! As most of the sign-up offers available in Germany are deposit bonus offers (this means that the bookmaker adds a bonus to your deposit and the condition is that you have to place bets in the value of for example 6 times the bonus amount before you can withdraw), the time spent and profit earned strongly depend on how many bets you need to place to finish the offer. For example, if your first bet loses straight away (offer finished), you may earn more than if you need to complete the rollover, i.e. place several bets until the offer is finished.
5Please ALWAYS check the terms and conditions of the respective bookmaker yourself before you sign up for their welcome offer. The T&Cs change occasionally, and although we make every effort to keep our guides up to date, we cannot be held responsible if any details have changed.

Week 1
You have already completed the first week, during which you registered with Orbit and with Bet365. You have placed two or more bets, and hopefully ended up with your first €65 of profit.
Week 2
You will start this week with the Tipico sign-up offer.
Here is our Tipico sign-up guide: Tipico Offer
This is an offer with a deposit bonus. As this kind of offer is still new to you, you should first read our guide here: Deposit Bonus Guide
Tipico don’t charge the betting tax, so you need to set the back commission in the Oddsmatcher calculator to 0%. Your profit from this offer will be about €85.
Please note that it is not strictly necessary to use the Rollover Calculator with the Tipico offer. You can still learn about this later, and you will find the respective guide in our instructions for the fourth week.
Mobilebet is the next offer this week with a deposit bonus (rollover offer). The majority of sign-up offers in Germany are for this type of bonus. Mobilebet Offer
This offer is slightly different, because you have to finish the rollover before you get the bonus. Therefore, it might take a little longer, but you should end up with about €50 of profit.
Week 3
Start this week with the Bet3000 offer. Again a deposit bonus offer, which you will be familiar with by now from the Tipico offer. You will find our Bet3000 sign-up offer guide here: Bet3000 Offer
Bet3000 is another bookmaker that doesn't charge the German betting tax, and this offer should give you a profit of approximately €64.
The second offer we’re suggesting for this week (Bwin) is a new type of offer, which is quick and easy to do. Please now read our guide for risk-free bet offers here: Risk-Free Bet Guide
Don’t worry if you don’t completely understand how the calculations are done. Just trust our risk-free calculator, and follow the Bwin sign-up guide here: Bwin Offer
From this offer, you should make an average of €53.
Week 4
You’ve almost completed the first month now, and the two offers we’re suggesting for this week are both very lucrative and should boost your profit enough to get you to €500 comfortably. They are both deposit bonus offers and very straightforward.
However, they both require that you familiarise yourself with our Rollover Calculator. Here is our product guide for the Rollover Calculator, which is also included as an option in the Oddsmatcher Calculator. You should use the Rollover Calculator for all rollover offers, and it is something that we recommend in all of the individual sign-up guides.
The first one is Sportwetten.de, and here is the sign-up guide for this offer: Sportwetten.de Offer
From the Sportwetten.de offer, you can expect an average profit of around €90.
The second bookmaker this week, to finish off your first month, is Admiral.
You should end up with a profit of around €115, and here is the sign-up guide: Admiral Offer
Sportwetten.de and Admiral both have regular reload offers, which are posted in our Forum.
