OddsMonkey free trial (what you get, what you pay after, and how to use it)

What the free trial includes

Everything below is from OddsMonkey's own help centre and pricing pages, checked on 22 October 2026:

• No payment details needed. The help article says "you don't have to provide us with any payment details" for the free trial.
• An explainer. The trial starts with what matched betting is.
• Two guided sign-up offers. It then walks you through two bookmaker sign-up offers with, in its words, "up to £39 in tax free profit". Its homepage says "£29+".
• The upgrade is optional. You become a paying member when you choose to.

One caution: that help article is dated 26 July 2023, so the exact offers inside it may be different now. And I haven't been able to verify what the trial looks like on screen today, because that is behind its sign-up. I'm not going to describe it in detail until I have.

Lewis's take

I started with OddsMonkey in 2017, after an article led me to MoneySavingExpert and MSE led me to OddsMonkey. I made about £1,000 in my first four weeks. That's why I'd tell anyone to judge the software on the first offers: do them, see the money arrive, and only then decide what it's worth to you.

What it costs after the trial

The pricing page says "No contract. Cancel anytime." For a beginner doing sports sign-up offers, Starter is the plan to look at first. The upper tiers add casino, +EV and specialist tools. See the OddsMonkey vs Outplayed page for each plan side by side.

Monthly or annual after the trial?

Starter monthly for 12 months is £479.88. Starter annual is £249.99. The annual plan saves you £229.89 (48%) and pays for itself against monthly from month 7. But paid up front is paid up front. If you're not sure you'll still be going in seven months, pay monthly first. You can change plan later.

The 14-day money-back guarantee

OddsMonkey says if you notify it within 14 days of your first purchase, the first payment is refunded. Cancellation is through the account dashboard, and support is [email protected]. Two practical points. First, the clock runs from the first payment, so don't pay on day one of a month you'll be too busy to use. Second, it's the first payment that's refunded, which on an annual plan is the whole year. Always read the live wording at checkout.

How to use the free trial properly

1. Start the trial from OddsMonkey. Use the free trial button on the OddsMonkey site and create an account. According to its help centre you do not give payment details to start.
2. Read the explainer first. The trial begins by explaining what matched betting is. Do read it, even if you have read my guide, because the screens you will use later assume it.
3. Open the accounts the first offer needs. You will need a bookmaker account and a betting exchange account. Both ask for ID checks, and you must be 18+ and in the UK. Do this before you place anything.
4. Do the two guided offers. The trial walks through two bookmaker sign-up offers (OddsMonkey says up to £39 tax-free profit). Use the calculator for the lay stakes, place the lay, then the back bet, and check both are matched.
5. Decide before the trial runs out of road. After the offers, decide whether you would use the tools without a guide. If you do subscribe, the 14-day money-back window runs from the first payment.

For the lay maths while you do the offers, use the matched betting calculator and the free bet calculator. For the whole story from zero, read what matched betting is and how it works.

Matched betting isn't free of risk. Mistakes happen (a lay that doesn't match, an odds mismatch, a void bet), and bookmakers can limit or close accounts. Start with small stakes, check each bet is matched, and keep your exchange liability funded.

What the free trial is not

• It isn't a guarantee of profit. OddsMonkey's own disclaimer says there's no guarantee of specific results.
• It isn't the whole service. The recurring offers, reloads and tools are what the subscription pays for.
• It isn't something you need to do before using this site's calculators. They work without an account.
