    What is Promo Converter?

    A tool that calculates the optimal lay stake to convert a sportsbook free bet into withdrawable cash.

    Definition

    A promo converter calculates the lay stake on a betting exchange that maximises retained value from a free bet, free play, or boosted-odds promotion. Inputs: free bet amount, back odds at the sportsbook, lay odds at the exchange, exchange commission. Output: optimal lay stake and guaranteed retention rate (typically 70-90% of the free-bet face value). ProfitDuel is the leading US-focused promo converter; OddsMonkey serves the UK market. Indispensable for matched betting profitability.

    Example

    $50 DraftKings free bet, back at 4.0 → lay $48.78 at 3.75 on Smarkets (commission 2%) → retain ~$36.40 cash regardless of outcome.
