How to Qualify 📋

Getting your first bet protected takes just a few steps:

  1. Make a deposit into your account.

  2. Place your first-ever sports bet on an eligible Football market.

  3. It has to be a Single Bet, Combo and System Bets do not qualify.

  4. Your bet needs to be at least THB 400.

  5. Ensure your selection has minimum odds of 1.70.

    Your bet settles as a loss. If your bet meets all these conditions, your THB 400 Free Bet will be credited to your account automatically.


What Counts as a Qualifying Bet? 🔍

To make sure your bet is covered by the First Bet Shield, here's what to keep in mind:

  • It must be the absolute first sports bet you place on your account. Subsequent bets are not eligible.

  • You must bet on a Football sports market

  • Single bets only - the odds must be 1.70 or higher

  • Combo and System Bets are excluded from this promotion

  • Both real money and bonus money bets are eligible, including bets placed using your Sports Welcome Bonus

  • Asian Handicap markets are strictly excluded from this promotion

  • Void, cancelled, or draw bets do not qualify

    💡 Note on the Free Bet Amount: The Free Bet value is fixed at exactly THB 400, regardless of how much you bet over the minimum threshold.

    Example: If you place a qualifying bet of THB 500 and it loses, you will still receive the flat THB 400 Free Bet, not THB 500.

Once your Free Bet is credited, it is valid for 30 days. To use it successfully, ensure your new bet meets these requirements:

  • It must be placed on a Football sports market
