Whenever people ask me the best way to make money online, I always recommend matched betting. In my experience, it’s the only method that checks both boxes: making good money and making it fast. However, it’s not for everyone.

There are several reasons you might be looking for alternatives to matched betting: you’re underage, it’s not available in your country, your accounts are restricted, you have a history with gambling or addiction, or you’d simply rather avoid anything related to betting. All are valid reasons.

If you’re looking for similar ways to make a few hundred pounds extra each month, here are some ideas to consider:

1. Website testing
2. Survey sites
3. ‘Get paid to’ sites
4. Transcription work
5. Online English teaching
6. Money-making apps
7. Web evaluator jobs and microtasks (check out Lionbridge and Appen)
8. Proofreading
9. Freelance writing

One problem with matched betting long term is that you might get “gubbed” from many bookies, meaning your accounts are restricted and they stop sending you special offers. Once you’ve experienced the profits of matched betting, this can be disappointing. Luckily, there’s something similar that works even when the free bets stop: casino offers.

Most big bookies have both sports betting and casino sections. Usually, even if your sports betting account is restricted, you can still participate in casino offers. Plus, there are many separate sites dedicated to casino games, slots, bingo, and more. Outplayed.com (formerly Profit Accumulator) has a ‘diamond membership’ that includes instructions for over 100+ casino bonuses, so you can continue to profit even when your betting accounts are restricted.

If you live outside the UK or Ireland, you probably can’t do matched betting. While there are guides on how to do matched betting in certain countries, remember that betting is illegal in many places. Some people use VPNs to get around these restrictions, but I wouldn’t recommend this—it’s generally against the sites’ terms and conditions, and you risk losing your accounts.

Here’s a list of sites to make money online from any country in the world.

If you’re under 18, you can’t do matched betting yet. Most sites ask for ID before processing your first withdrawal, so don’t try to get around it! Check out these pages for ideas that might work for you instead:

If you’ve done matched betting for a while but it’s starting to slow down, and you’re looking for a way to make a long-term, sustainable income online, I recommend starting an online business. It will be a lot of work initially, and it will be slower than matched betting to see results, but the long-term potential is much greater.

Here’s what I’ve personally replaced matched betting with:

– Blogging
– Print on demand

There are many other options to consider, including selling on Amazon, eBay, dropshipping, selling printable assets, creating online courses and info products, drop servicing (creating an online agency for tasks like website building, writing, Facebook ads, etc., and outsourcing the work), and more.

As you can see, there are lots of different ways to make money online. For me, nothing quite matches matched betting in terms of the money-to-effort ratio, but if you’re looking for an alternative way to make some extra cash, I hope this list gives you some ideas.
