500 Casino Top 5 Football Leagues Promotion
We’re putting 500 Casino’s Top 5 Football Leagues promotion to the test throughout the 2026/27 season. Each week, we’ll place real bets on the featured matches, track our results and see how much additional value the promotion provides in practice.
This is Week 2 of our test. We’ll record our bets before the matches begin, explain what we’re trying to achieve and return after settlement to update the results, any rewards triggered and our overall profit or loss.
Week 2 Featured Matches
500 Casino selected five fixtures for the September 5–11 game week. These were the matches available to us when deciding which qualifying bets to place for the second week of our test.
Week 2 Promotion Conditions
For the September 5–11 game week, 500 Casino is offering three separate rewards across the five featured matches. These include protection for selections that lose without scoring, double winnings for comeback victories and free bets when a player scores multiple goals for a winning selection.
If our selection loses the match without scoring a goal, 50% of our stake is refunded.
If our selection falls one goal behind at any point but recovers to win the match, double winnings are credited.
If our selection wins and one of its players scores at least twice, a $50 free bet is credited. A hat-trick increases the reward to $100.
Winning the Bets Has to Come First
There is no denying that this week’s featured matches look difficult. There are no overwhelming favorites among the five fixtures, which makes finding reliable 1X2 selections harder than simply backing a strong team expected to dominate weaker opposition.
The $50 and $100 free bets are obviously attractive, particularly because they do not depend on the selected team coming from behind. However, predicting that one player will score twice or complete a hat-trick is difficult, especially in a competitive match. Our main objective therefore has to be choosing the teams we believe are most likely to win.
The Double Winnings reward provides additional upside if one of our selections falls behind and recovers. Better still, 500 Casino has confirmed to us that Double Winnings and the goalscorer free bet can both be awarded on the same qualifying bet.
The 50% stake refund also gives us some useful protection if a selection loses without scoring. It may not appear as exciting as double winnings or a large free bet, but smaller rewards like this can make a meaningful difference when they are accumulated across an entire season.
As always, the underlying bet comes first. We want to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning, with any cashback, increased winnings or free bets treated as additional value.

Our Week 2 Bets
We’ve placed three 10 USDT singles across the Week 2 featured matches, giving us a total stake of 30 USDT. Our selections are Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Rennes, and all three bets were placed before the matches began.
Why We Chose Arsenal, Dortmund and Rennes
This week’s featured matches are difficult, with no overwhelming favorite among the teams available to back. We chose Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Rennes because we believe they give us the best combination of a realistic chance to win and the attacking potential needed for one player to score at least twice.
Arsenal are our shortest-priced selection at 1.68, but Chelsea should still provide a serious test. Arsenal being at home helped make them our choice, and we believe they are the team in this fixture most capable of taking control and creating enough chances for an individual player to score multiple goals.
Borussia Dortmund are the highest-priced of our three selections at 2.22 and the only one available above even money. Winning away at Hoffenheim is far from guaranteed, but Dortmund’s attacking threat gives this bet interesting promotional upside. If they produce a strong performance, they appear capable of both winning the match and putting one player in position to challenge for the goalscorer reward.
Rennes complete our selections at 1.85 away to Angers. An away favorite at that price still carries risk, but we preferred Rennes from the two sides and felt they offered a better chance of producing the type of attacking performance required to trigger a free bet.
The $50 and $100 free bets influenced which of the qualifying teams we selected, but winning the underlying bets remains the main objective. The goalscorer reward is an additional target rather than a reason to force a poor selection. If any of our teams fall behind before recovering to win, the separate Double Winnings reward could add further value, while a defeat without scoring would return 50% of our stake.
These selections shouldn’t be confused with the more detailed match analysis we’ll publish at Crypto Sports Lab. When we’re looking for the best betting opportunity in a match, we’ll research the fixture in much greater depth and consider the different markets available before deciding whether there’s a bet we like.
This test has a different purpose. We’re testing the 500 Casino promotion, where the reward conditions are based on backing a team to win. That means our decision is essentially between the home and away sides rather than searching across the wider betting markets for what we believe is the strongest bet.
We still want every selection to make sense at the available odds, but the main objective here is to make sensible bets within the promotion’s conditions and measure whether the offer provides us with any additional value.
Our Bet Slips
All three bets were placed with our own funds at 500 Casino. We’ve included the bet slips below as a record of the selections, stakes and odds before the matches are played. Click a slip to enlarge it.
Our betting results should not be viewed as a reflection of the results every player will achieve through 500 Casino’s Season Long Top 5 Football Leagues Promotion. Different selections, odds and match outcomes will naturally produce different results.
The purpose of this test is to follow the promotion over an extended period and measure the additional value its rewards provide alongside our own betting results. By tracking any free bets, doubled winnings and other rewards we receive throughout the season, we can see how much difference the promotion makes over time.
Our results reflect our own bets and experience only. The aim is to show how the promotion works in practice and highlight the value its rewards can add, rather than suggest that other players should expect the same returns.
New sportsbook and esports players can qualify with a first eligible deposit over $25. The package includes a 300% rakeback boost of the qualifying deposit, up to $15,000, plus a free sportsbook bet matching the deposit value up to $500.
Eligibility, wagering requirements, maximum rewards and other promotional terms apply.
