A €20 free bet sounds as though you’re being given twenty euros as a gift. However, after winning a bet, the amount credited to your account is not always what you had calculated beforehand.

Anyone opening a football match at a bookmaker for the first time will immediately be presented with dozens of possible bets. As well as predicting who will win the match, you can bet on the number of goals, whether both teams will score, and cover several outcomes at once.
An accumulator, a system bet and a Bet Builder all combine multiple selections, but they don’t work in the same way. In particular, the consequences of a single incorrect selection differ significantly. We’ll explain how each type of bet works and the risks involved, using clear examples.
Odds determine how much a sports bet can pay out. They also indicate the probability a bookmaker assigns to a particular outcome. Understanding how odds work allows you to compare bets more effectively and avoid surprises when it comes to payouts.
CCTV games, or games of chance based on CCTV footage, allow players to bet on events visible on screen rather than on cards, reels or a roulette wheel. Circus now offers a selection of CCTV games to Belgian players.
