“Money back” on your first bet often means a voucher, not your card

Refund shape

If the offer says cash back to your deposit method, that is one animal. If it says a free bet, bonus funds, or non-withdrawable credit, you should model it like promo value, not like a cleared withdrawal.

Expiry dates bite: some credits die within 48–72 hours of credit. Set a reminder at settlement time.

Why matched bettors care

Cash moves differently from SNR free bets when you lay. Mixing them up understates liability or overstates how much you “get back” if the qualifying leg loses.

Always verify minimum odds, max free-bet value, and whether your first bet must lose to trigger the refund — some promos require a loss; others reward any settled first bet.
