Every month I try to make at least £100 extra money online. In August I made over £177. Here’s how I did it:
Matched Betting
Various Sites – £110.63
If you’ve seen my recent blog post about working with a matched betting tutor it will come as no surprise that matched betting was my biggest source of extra income in August! I’ll be continuing my matched betting journey in September and hope to have a much larger figure to report next month.
Total – £110.63
Free Spins
Coral – £5.72
I had a couple of wins with free spins from the Coral Rewards Grabber. You use the grabber to select a symbol and reveal if you’ve won a prize. The prizes are usually free spins or casino bonuses. In August I had a few small wins and won £5.72.
Sky Vegas – £2.84
I played Sky Vegas’ free Prize Machine every day in August. You click to spin the reels and see if you’ve won free spins, casino bonuses or cash prizes.
