1. Register with Betfred and deposit £10.00 in your account. Leave this browser tab/window open.

   This is the amount required for your first (or qualifying) bet which is needed to unlock the free £30.00 bet (next step).

2. Go to Smarkets and deposit at least £14.17 in your account. Leave this window open too.

   This is the "Liability" amount needed to cover the "Lay" bet.
