How to Use a Bonus Bet Conversion

A bonus bet calculator or bonus bet conversion calculator, determines the rate at which you can turn a bonus bet into cash. As part of many promotions and sign-up bonuses, US and Canadian sportsbooks offer "bonus bets". Bonus bets are different from cash because, if your wager wins, you do not get back your initial stake.

As an example, imagine you have a $100 bonus bet on BetMGM. On the Promo Converter you see an opportunity on the Over/Under 50.5 in the New England Patriots vs Jacksonville Jaguars. If you place that $100 bonus bet on the Over 50.5 at +300 odds you could use this calculator to calculate the size of the hedge bet to make at a different sportsbook. In this case, you would need to place a $220 bet on the Under 50.5 at -275. No matter the outcome you would net $80 (Bonus bet wins = $300 minus $220 hedge bet = $80, hedge bet winds = $80). Most sports bettors aim to get bonus bet conversion percentages over 70%. This means that for a $100 bonus bet, you will be able to earn $70.
