A stake-not-returned (SNR) bonus bet returns only the winnings, not the stake. This calculator works out the lay stake that converts the largest possible share of that bonus into withdrawable cash.

How to use it

  1. Enter the bonus bet amount the bookmaker gave you.
  2. Enter the back odds you plan to use at the bookmaker.
  3. Enter the lay odds on the exchange and the commission.
  4. Read the lay stake and your guaranteed cash retention.
Worked example. A $50 SNR bonus placed at back odds 5.00, laid at 5.20 with 5% commission converts to roughly $38 of real cash, about a 76% retention. Higher back odds generally lift the retention rate.

Finding the best-priced pairings across the market is the slow part by hand. The DegenToPro bonus bet finder does it automatically. Learn the wider strategy on the promo betting and matched betting pages.

Frequently asked questions

What retention rate should I aim for on a bonus bet?

Around 70% to 80% is typical for a well-matched SNR bonus. Using higher back odds increases retention but also increases variance on the exchange, so most people sit in the mid range.

Why do higher odds convert more of the bonus?

Because the stake is not returned, more of your return comes from winnings at higher odds, so a larger share of the bonus face value ends up as cash. The calculator shows the exact figure for your inputs.

Are bonus bet profits taxed in Australia?

Gambling winnings are generally not taxed for recreational bettors under current ATO treatment. This is general information, not tax advice.
