Betting Features

Bet Builder+

Bet Builder+ lets you combine the most popular markets from multiple selected events into one single bet — essentially building your own big price accumulator. The odds update automatically as you add each selection. It's available across 20+ sports including football, tennis, basketball, horse racing and more.

The standard Bet Builder (single event) still works alongside it. You can include up to 12 markets from a single sport, and Bet Builder bets can even be combined into multiples with other Bet Builder bets. Simply navigate to your chosen fixture, select the Bet Builder tab, pick your markets and add to your bet slip.

• Big price potential Combining multiple markets boosts your potential return significantly compared to standard singles.
• 20+ sports supported Football, tennis, basketball, horse racing, cricket, golf, darts, MMA and many more.
• Odds update instantly Every selection you add automatically recalculates the combined price in real time.

• Void complications If one selection is void, the whole bet may be voided (rules vary by sport and market type).
• Not available for all bet types Cannot be used in Banker, If Bet, Reverse If Bet or Teaser bets.

Cash Out

Cash Out is one of bet365's most popular features. Instead of waiting for a bet to reach its natural conclusion, you can settle it early for a guaranteed return — whether you're in profit or just trying to cut a loss.

It's available on selected pre-match and in-play markets across football, tennis, horse racing, cricket and basketball, on both single and multiple bets. The Cash Out amount updates in real time based on how your selections are performing.

There are several ways to monitor it:

1. My Bets tab — Log in and click My Bets to see all eligible bets with their current Cash Out value.
2. Live tab — Shows in-play bets with live score and Cash Out amount side by side.
3. Favourites — Star any selection to pin it to the top for quicker access.
4. Mobile app — Full Cash Out functionality on iOS and Android.

Note: Cashed out bets do not count towards releasing Bet Credits. A time delay applies on all Cash Out requests — if odds change or the market suspends during that delay, the request may fail.

Each Way Extra (Horse Racing)

Each Way Extra gives you control over your place terms when betting each way on selected horse races. You can add extra places (accepting shorter odds in return) or remove places (taking bigger odds with fewer places covered). This is great for value hunters who want to tailor their exposure.

Access it by selecting the "Each Way Extra" tab from the racecard header before a race. Available from 10am UK time for UK and Irish racing. Note that EW Extra bets are not eligible for Best Odds Guaranteed, and can only be Cashed Out pre-race.

Golf Each Way Extra

The same concept as horse racing Each Way Extra, but built specifically for golf. On selected tournaments you can choose up to 12 places on pre-event outright bets. Add more places for safety at lower odds, or strip places back for a bigger price. Access it from the "Each Way Extra" market on the selected golf coupon — must be before the first tee-off. Cannot be Cashed Out.

Colossus Bets

Colossus Bets is a pool betting product offered in partnership with Colossus, covering UK and Irish horse racing. Instead of betting at fixed odds, you pay a stake into a shared prize pool — and if your selections win, you take a share of that pool. The potential payouts can be huge.

Three main bet types are on offer:

• Place Pool (Place 6) — Pick a placed horse in each of six races at one meeting.
• Win Pool (Win 4 / Win 6) — Pick the winner of 4 or 6 consecutive races.
• Day 6/7 — Pick winners across multiple meetings on the same day.

Consolation dividends are available for near misses. Unit stakes range from £0.10 to £2.00 with a minimum total stake of £1.00. Cash Out is available between races on multi-race markets.

Bet365 Fantasy Sports

bet365 Fantasy Sports lets you assemble a team of real players, then compete against others based on how those players actually perform. You can enter free Freeroll games (compete for entry to paid tournaments) or paid weekly/seasonal tournaments with cash prizes. Entry cannot be funded with Bet Credits, and Cash Out is not available for Fantasy Sports entries.

Bet365 Free Bet Calculator

Bet365 Free Bet Calculator is a simple tool to work out potential returns before you bet. It supports multiple bet types including Singles, Accumulators and more. You enter the odds for each selection, your stake, and whether it's each way — it then calculates your total stake and expected return. Useful for checking if a bet is worth it before committing.

FAQs

Is bet365 live streaming free?

Yes, in practical terms — all you need is a funded account or a bet placed within the last 24 hours. You don't pay a separate subscription fee. Sports Live Streaming covers 600k+ events a year, and Horse Racing Live Streaming covers every UK, Irish and French race.

How does Cash Out work on bet365?

Cash Out lets you settle a bet before the event ends. The amount offered reflects your selection's current performance — if things are going well, it may be higher than your stake; if not, it might be less. Once you accept a Cash Out, the bet is settled immediately and the final result no longer matters.

How does Bet Builder work on bet365?

Navigate to a fixture, click the Bet Builder tab, then select as many markets as you want (up to 12). The odds recalculate with every selection you add, giving you one single combined bet price. Add it to your bet slip like any other bet.

What is Each Way Extra on bet365?

Each Way Extra lets you adjust the standard place terms on selected horse racing and golf bets. You can add more places (accepting shorter odds) for extra security, or reduce places to get a bigger price. Standard each way terms don't apply when using this feature.

What is Colossus Bets on bet365?

Colossus Bets is a pool betting product for UK and Irish horse racing. Your stake goes into a shared prize pool, and if your selections win, you get a share. Minimum bet is £1 and Cash Out is available between races on multi-leg markets.

Can I use My Alerts on mobile?

Yes. My Alerts is available on the bet365 iOS and Android app and on the mobile website (Android Chrome). Enable it via the Account Menu — choose Alerts and toggle it on.

What sports does Match Live cover?

Match Live covers football, basketball, tennis, baseball, American football, cricket, darts, golf, handball, ice hockey, rugby league, rugby union, volleyball, water polo, Australian rules and esports (CS:GO).

Final Verdict

bet365 has built one of the most comprehensive feature sets in online sports betting. The combination of Bet Builder+, Cash Out and live streaming already puts it ahead of most competitors. Add in tools like Match Live, the Live Golf Tracker, Colossus Bets and My Alerts, and you've got a platform that genuinely enhances every aspect of the betting experience — not just the bet slip.

If you've only been using bet365 for standard pre-match betting, explore these features. They don't cost anything extra, and many of them — like live streaming and the Racing Archive — are available to anyone with a funded account.
