Matched betting has been a great side hustle for me over the years, and if you are looking for a bank account just for your matched betting then I have some great suggestions for you.
What is matched betting?
Matched betting is a way to make some serious guaranteed profit by utilising the free bet offers that bookmakers offer to both new and existing customers. It has turned into one of my favourite side hustles because it is tax free.
You can do matched betting in one of two ways – you can complete all of the matched betting offers in a month or two to make £1,000 – £2,000, say for a holiday, Christmas or anything else you are saving for, or you could look to do matched betting long term. There is no right or wrong, but whatever you choose, matched betting can be really lucrative and it is a great side hustle to consider.

Why do you need a different bank account for matched betting?
You don't have to have a different bank account in order to complete matched betting offers, however it is really helpful if you do have a bank account dedicated to matched betting.
Matched betting involves doing a lot of transactions, and keeping track of your deposits, withdrawals and profits is a heck of a lot easier when you aren't contending with your usual banking transactions. Knowing that your entire matched betting pot is in one bank account helps out a lot of people and saves them time.
Lots of matched bettors prefer to have a bank account solely for matched betting.
