Clear Bonus Profits is a service which shows you how to easily bank cash - almost risk-free - from online bookmakers.
Matched betting is a well known, low risk strategy used for taking advantage of the promotions and bonuses offered by bookies. It's been around for many years and is still going strong as the bookmakers fight over new customers.
Steve Trow, a former accountant, now makes his living from sports trading, straight betting and matched betting. He launched Clear Bonus Profits in order to show everybody just how easy it is to do the same.
I had a volunteer help me for my review, Ollie, who was a student and completely new to matched betting. In fact, other than the odd football acca, Ollie didn't know too much about online betting in general which made him the ideal man for the job.
Despite being so new to it all, Ollie made a profit of £1,400.86 in just 3 months whilst carrying out this review!

Introduction
As a member, everything you need will be included with your membership. There are no additional fees to pay for extras.
The following tools and features are included:
Academy
If you're new to matched betting, your first stop will be the Academy.
A series of tutorials and video guides will explain the main aspects of matched betting from bankroll management to backing and laying, betting exchanges and calculating the EV (expected value) of casino offers.
After learning the basics, you will move on to making some risk-free money from bookie 'Welcome Bonus Offers'. Ollie found more than 40 offers listed which were split into 'Easy', 'Intermediate' and 'Advanced' categories. The idea was to work through them in order.
From the 'Easy' section alone there was a minimum of £458 risk-free profit to be made!
All that Ollie had to do was click on the next offer in the list and follow the instructions.
He was shown exactly how he should open the bookie account, place his qualifying bet and then his free bet. All the terms and conditions were layed out too, such as minimum odds and stake.
The 'Odds Matching' software was even built-in to the page. For example, when Ollie was taking advantage of the Coral welcome bonus, all the best matches for Coral were listed.
It couldn't have been quicker or easier.
In total, there was more than £1000 profit to be made from the Welcome Bonus Offers - and that was just the beginning!
Daily Offers
After completing all of the Welcome Bonus Offers, Ollie was advised to move on to the 'Daily Offers' section.
Daily Offers is in calendar format - shown below - which displays available bookie offers for each day.
When Ollie clicked on an offer, it expanded to give more details. These included the main terms and conditions, the recommended strategy, a link to the offer and a link to the forum page where he could discuss the offers with other members.
Ollie was a big fan of this page!
The clean layout made it easy to pick out the offers he fancied doing that day and, although there were not as many offers during the week, he still had the choice of 5-10.
At the weekend it got much busier, but easy to follow thanks to a great little feature which allowed Ollie to add offers to his own calendar so he wouldn't lose track.
Casino and Bingo Bonuses
Bingo and casino offers are very lucrative. As a Clear Bonus Profits member, you will be shown how to complete both risk-free bonuses and offers which are not risk-free, but are +ev long-term.
You will also have access to additional guides in the Academy, such as optimal Blackjack strategy and calculating EV.
Software and Calculators
The 'Racing Blaster' and 'Tennis Blaster' software are fantastic tool for generating more low-risk profits.
When you open up Racing Blaster, for example, you are presented with a list of all the races that day which have refund offers available.
Clicking on an offer opens up the Odds Matching software with potential matches you can use to qualify. It also states the qualifying loss at a glance so you can work out whether it is suitable or not.
This was a massive time saver for Ollie when completing the daily offers.
There is also a matched betting calculator which has 'simple' and 'advanced' modes. The advanced mode is useful for calculating 'underlays' or 'overlays' which you may wish to do with certain offers.
There's a simple slider to adjust the stake and the figures update automatically.
Month One Update
During Ollie's first month, he managed to complete 17 of the Welcome Bonus Offers and made £424.15 profit. Considering he was new to the world of matched betting, that was great going!
Ollie followed the offers in order (as recommended) and finished everything in the 'Easy' list. He then made a start on the 'Intermediate' offers, but didn't get anywhere near the end of those so there was still plenty of money to be made.
I did not believe "risk-free betting" existed before I started with Clear Bonus Profits. After reading the articles in the academy I still felt a bit nervous, but once I saw the profits building up I gained confidence. The academy is really helpful as a newbie as it has loads of examples, pictures and videos to help you learn.
I’ve used some of the profit I made this month to buy a PS4, so I’m well happy with that! There’s still loads of stuff on the site left for me to do, so I’m looking forward to seeing how much more money I can make.

Summary
During the review period of three months, Ollie barely touched the surface of what was available and still managed to bank a healthy profit of £1,400.86. That worked out at an impressive average of £467 profit per month.
The site was well put together and was very easy to use, even if you're a complete beginner.
Clear Bonus Profits is definitely worthy of a 5 star pass rating, but I'll leave the final word to Ollie.
When I first started as a member of Clear Bonus Profits, I didn’t imagine I’d be over £1,000 better off by the end of the trial. I knew nothing of matched betting beforehand and learnt from scratch how it all works through the academy.
I enjoyed doing the racing offers the most, as you still have that element of excitement hoping for a horse to come second, but you know that you can’t lose the bet either way. I’ve been able to treat myself with my winnings, but as I’m a student some of it has gone towards my accommodation and food (and drink!) costs which is a weight off my mind. The rest has gone back into my float so that I can continue with the daily offers.
I would highly recommend Clear Bonus Profits to anyone, in fact I have already started telling my mates about it. They all think it’s too good to be true, but it really works!
