bet365 have introduced a new free game for registered users to play, offering players the chance to win free bets, free spins or Golden Chips.
This promotion has replaced another popular free game, initially called Golden Goals, but rebranded as Goals Giveaway. This was a daily free to play promotion that I personally liked to participate in and won many free bet credits off the back of it.
How To Play Prize Matcher
To get involved you will first need to log in to your bet365 account. If you don’t have one, you can register and take advantage of a new customer bonus below.
BET £10, GET £50 IN FREE BETS
Open Account Offer
Bet £10 & Get £50 in Free Bets for new customers at bet365.
Min deposit requirement. Free Bets are paid as Bet Credits and are available for use upon settlement of bets to value of qualifying deposit. Min odds, bet and payment method exclusions apply. Returns exclude Bet Credits stake. Time limits and T&Cs apply. Registration required.
Once logged in I was able to locate the Prize Matcher game from the horizontal scrolling menu bar just beneath the promotional banners on the home page.
A new game starts each Monday with a fresh grid consisting of 49 squares (7×7). You get to reveal three squares each day after 5pm. Each square can reveal one of seven icons. These are:
- Cherries
- Grapes
- Golden Chip
- Clubs (card suit)
- Ball
- Cross (no win icon)
- Diamond (instant win)
Each winning symbol is listed below the grid in the progress panel, displaying how many of that particular symbol is required to be revealed, along with what prize will be unlocked should that number of reveals be hit within the one week period.
What’s Up For Grabs?
With three reveals opened up each day, there’s the opportunity to reveal up to a maximum 21 tiles from the 49 available. From playing this game for a couple of weeks now, the prize amounts and number of icons required to be revealed have been consistent.
These being:
- 3 x red cherries = 5 free spins on selected slots.
- 3 x grapes = 10 free spins on selected slots.
- 5 x golden chips = 5 x £1 chips to use on Blackjack or European Roulette.
- 6 x clubs = 50 free spins on selected slots.
- 7 x balls = free bets, added by way of bet credits.
Quantities required and rewards can be changed at anytime but this was what was on offer at the start of the promotion.
Is it worth playing Prize Matcher?
After a couple of weeks participating in this promotion, I have found three red cherries and won 5 free spins, which won me 15p. I have also uncovered an instant win diamond icon that provided 2 free spins and brought in another 13p.
This promotion doesn’t give you the chance to win life-changing amounts of cash, but it is quick to play and gives you multiple chances to win back small rewards that brings a little more value to your betting account.
As I log in to the bet365 app daily anyway in the evening time, I have been unveiling the maximum amount of weekly tiles. Those who only log in at the weekends will struggle to get any value from this promotion.
Conclusion
This promotional concept is not unique. Other bookmakers have very similar games. For example, the Search For The Phoenix free daily game offered by Virginbet and LiveScoreBet.
There’s the benefit of being able to win more than one prize within a given gameweek and even though I haven’t won much from it at this point, I will continue to take part to keep those small wins trickling in.
If I had the choice of playing either the now unavailable Goals Giveaway promotion or the new Prize Matcher, it would be the Goals Giveaway. It added a little more interest in the weekend games of football and I frequently won free bet credits of varying amounts.
There seems to be less value playing the Prize Matcher, but will appeal more to those who like to play casino games.
Don’t expect to be paying off the mortgage any time soon with this promotion, but is one we recommend you try out, if you are looking for new free games to play.
