Free Bet
This quick video shows you how to use a freebet on Overtime Markets, a decentralized onchain sportsbook.
A freebet lets you place a bet without using your own funds. If your bet loses, you lose nothing. If it wins, you get the full profit — and your freebet is returned to your balance.
Example: You use a $50 Freebet on a market with 3.0x odds. ✅ If you win, you receive $100 in profit + your $50 freebet back.
Sometimes freebets must be claimed first, especially if you're accessing one via a referral or promo link. If that's the case, just hit the Claim Freebet button after connecting your wallet.
Step-by-Step: How to Use a freebet on OvertimeMarkets
Connect Your Wallet Go to overtimemarkets.xyz and connect your wallet (make sure you're on Base, Optimism, or Arbitrum).
(If Needed) Claim Your Freebet If you received a Freebet via a link or promotion, you might need to claim it manually. Look for a "Claim Freebet" button after connecting.
Check Your Freebet Balance Once connected (and claimed, if needed), check your freebet balance in the top bar or account area.
Pick a Match Browse the list of games and choose one you'd like to bet on.
Choose a Market and Selection Click an outcome to add it to your bet slip (e.g. team to win, total points over/under).
Enable the Freebet Option In the bet slip, toggle “Use Free bet” so the Freebet is applied instead of real funds.
Place the Bet Click “BUY”
Wait for the Result
❌ If your bet loses, you lose just the freebet balance
✅ If your bet wins, you receive the net profit, and your freebet amount is returned to your balance to use again.
