Tough beats due to blown leads are part of online sports betting, but a bet365 promo offers an insurance policy for customers to offset some of that hard luck.
The early payout promotion at bet365 pays out straight moneyline bets on NFL games if the team you’ve backed goes up by 17 points at any time throughout the contest.
The app also features early payouts in several other sports — including college football, basketball, soccer, and baseball. This is an in-app promotion available to existing customers, which is separate from the Bet365 promo code welcome offer. That offer is detailed in the banner below.
Bet365 is not the first online sports betting book to offer an early payout for a tough come-from-behind beat. However, the sportsbook offers it without an opt-in and for several sports. This represents another way bet365 hopes to catch up to top US competitors after launching later than top apps like FanDuel and DraftKings.
Where would the bet365 Early Payouts promo have paid off this year?
So far this season, bet365’s NFL promo would have saved bettors who took the Tennessee Titans on the moneyline in Week 1 at the Chicago Bears but lost their stake when Will Levis and the Titans blew a 17-0 lead. The Arizona Cardinals got up 17-3 in Buffalo and lost in Week 1, but that 14-point margin would not have qualified for the early payout deal.
In Week 2, the Baltimore Ravens blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter to the Las Vegas Raiders. While this bad beat cost Baltimore backers in survival pools and others, it would not have qualified for the promotion.
With the quick-strike nature of the modern NFL, more games could qualify for the promotion throughout the season.
Bet365 NFL Early Payout promo terms and conditions
Which bets qualify for the promotion?
Any two-way moneyline or three-way moneyline (including ties) bet that you make on NFL games prior to kickoff will qualify for eligible customers, all the way through the season and playoffs to betting on the 2025 Super Bowl in February.
If the moneyline wager is part of a parlay or same-game parlay, and the backed team gets up by 17 points, the leg will count as a win. If the wager is fully cashed out, the bet is no longer eligible, but bets that are partially cashed out or edited are still eligible based on those adjustments.
Note that the bet only receives an early payout, not two payouts. So if you backed the New Orleans Saints as underdogs in Week 2 at the Dallas Cowboys, you would get your payout as soon as the Saints opened a 17-point lead and would not have received an extra payout once the game ended. You can expect the payout in your account within 15 minutes of the team you backed opening a 17-point lead.
Which customers are eligible?
If you’re wondering about eligibility, look in the “offers” or “promotions” section of your account to see if you’re eligible for the early payout promotion.

As we mentioned, bet365 offers the promotion in other sports. Here are the point thresholds your team must lead by for the bet to be graded as a win:

- WNBA basketball: 17 points
