Frequently asked questions

Practical answers for getting started with AiProfit, matched betting accounts, deposits, verification, and support.

Getting started

What is matched betting?

Matched betting is a way of using bookmaker offers by backing and laying the same outcome so the result is not based on predicting who wins. AiProfit provides tools and guides to help you calculate those bets, but you place bets directly with bookmakers and exchanges.

How much money do I need to start?

Many beginners start with around £40-£100. A larger starting bankroll makes it easier to complete multiple offers efficiently. Only use money you can afford to have temporarily tied up in bookmaker and exchange accounts.

How long does the process take?

Most people spend around 15-20 minutes on each bookmaker promotional offer. Withdrawal timing depends on the event, bookmaker settlement, and verification, so allow a few days rather than assuming money will be back instantly.

What do I need before starting?

You need an AiProfit account, access to bookmaker and exchange accounts, a suitable debit card, and enough money to cover deposits and exchange liability. It is also worth having identity and address documents ready in case an operator asks for verification.

Eligibility, legal & responsibility

How old do I need to be?

You must be 18+ to open an account with a betting operator and gamble online in Great Britain.

Do I need to be a UK resident?

Most bookmaker promotions require UK residency. To claim sign-up offers and free bets, you will usually need a UK address and may be asked to prove it.

Is matched betting legal?

Matched betting is legal in the UK for adults who can legally use bookmaker and betting exchange accounts. You still need to follow bookmaker terms, promotion rules, and safer gambling limits.

What betting actions can AiProfit handle?

AiProfit is not a bookmaker, does not hold gambling funds, and does not handle deposits, withdrawals, winnings, or settlements. You place bets directly with the bookmaker. Where direct-placement integration is available, AiProfit can submit a user-authorised instruction to a supported connected provider, and that provider places, holds, matches, settles, and governs the bet.

Deposits, banks & verification

Will I need verification documents?

Many betting companies will not request documents immediately, but it is common for at least one or two to ask. Have proof of identity, such as a passport or driving licence, and proof of address ready before you begin.

Do I need to deposit with a debit card?

Most betting promotions require a debit card deposit to qualify for the offer. Some payment methods and newer online banks may not qualify, so check the promotion terms before depositing.

Why is my bank not letting me deposit into betting accounts?

Your bank may block gambling transactions because of account type, card controls, or a gambling block. If that happens, contact your bank or use another eligible card that is in your own name.

Can I use a virtual or app-based bank?

Sometimes, but some bookmaker promotions may exclude deposits from app-based or virtual banks. Check the offer terms before starting so you do not complete a deposit that is ineligible for the promotion.

Offers, mistakes & troubleshooting

What should I do if I make a mistake placing a bet?

Do not rush into another bet. Check the relevant AiProfit guide or video for the type of mistake, then recalculate before deciding whether a correction is needed.

What if verification or a free bet is delayed?

Leave that offer out of any time-sensitive batch and handle it separately. Verification and free-bet release timings are controlled by the bookmaker or exchange, not AiProfit.

Why did a bookmaker not give me a free bet?

Common reasons include not meeting the exact promotion terms, using an ineligible payment method, missing a deadline, or a household/account eligibility restriction. Check the terms first, then contact the bookmaker if you believe the offer was completed correctly.

Can I create or use betting accounts for friends or family?

No. Creating or using betting accounts on behalf of someone else can breach bookmaker terms and may be treated as fraudulent. You can explain the process to someone else, but they must control their own accounts and decisions.

Support & referrals

Can I refer a friend?

Yes. Visit the AiProfit affiliate scheme for current referral options and read the programme terms.

Where can I get help?

Check the relevant guide or tool instructions first. If you still need help, email [email protected] or use the AiProfit Discord community for quick questions. Do not share personal, payment, or identity documents in public channels.
