    I was about to say the same thing! Also if it's a deposit bonus offer then there is lots of risk - you have to put your own money in to get the bonus and then gamble with it.

    Wrong about which part? It is definitely gambling so you can't be saying I'm wrong about that. As for being wrong about risking your own money, I looked in the forum you pointed out and in the thread that is suggested to be read first it says...
    Matched Betting (when done correctly) is a low-risk way of utilising your own hard earned cash to access free offers from bookmakers and then maximise (again in a low-risk way) the amount of the bookmakers free cash that you are able to keep.

    Matched Betting can be started with funds of as little as £50 of your own money (assuming you start on Bookmakers £10 free bets, which is recommended).
    DON'T

    1. ever risk money that you cannot afford to lose, or ever deviate from the matched betting principles. If you have an uncontrollable gambling streak, or are under order not to do any betting, don't venture into this. Please visit Gamcare instead.

    2. jump into it head first

    3. be afraid to ask questions on the newcomers thread

    4. think you will do best if you don't tell anyone that you do matched betting. Particularly, don't hide it from your partner.

    5. feel discouraged if it takes you quite a while to grasp the concept - you are in good company

    6. confuse matched betting with traditional betting or gambling

    7. expect this to be a get rich quick scheme. Such schemes simply don't exist.

    Basically saying, you have to invest your own money and even though it's low risk it isn't no risk so don't risk money you can't afford to lose...as it is possible to lose it.

    So, which part was I wrong about?
