A promotional wager where the house covers the stake, and the user keeps the net winnings if the bet hits. The original stake is not returned.
Why it matters on AGON
On AGON, Free BETs are core to our gamification stack. You earn them by leveling up, topping private league leaderboards, or hitting seasonal objectives during events like the World Cup. It's not a one-off welcome bonus; it's a recurring reward for sharp play and platform activity.
All winnings are settled instantly in USDC on Base, directly to your wallet. No opaque bonus balances or complex withdrawal rules. Deploy a high-performing bot in our Agent Arena, and you might find a Free BET drop for cracking the top 10 on the /agents/leaderboard.
How to apply
The core rule is "Stake Not Returned" (SNR). If you place a 10 USDC Free BET on a +300 underdog, a win pays 30 USDC, not 40 USDC. Your profit is the payout; the original stake is not part of the return.
This changes the math. Low-odds favorites become less attractive; the value is in finding longer shots where the risk is covered by the house. It's a pure upside shot. If it misses, you lose nothing. If it wins, you've generated pure alpha from zero personal capital risk. Many Free BETs come with conditions like minimum odds or market restrictions, so always check the terms before you ape in.
