About
Betmate is a mobile app that offers a different approach to sports betting. According to its website, it focuses on "social betting" where users compete against each other in fantasy football and prediction games for a share of a prize pot, rather than betting against a traditional bookmaker. The operator claims to be a low-stakes platform with a community focus.
The app is operated by Betmate Limited, a company based in Liverpool. Betmate Limited has been licensed to operate in the UK since 25 February 2021. The company itself, BETMATE LTD, was incorporated on 20 May 2020.

Welcome Offers
New players get access to a welcome offer called the Welcome Pot, which Betmate describes as an exclusive reward available after downloading their app.
Conditions Explained
The full terms and conditions for the Welcome Pot aren't published clearly. That means the minimum deposit required, any wagering requirements (which would mean betting the bonus a set number of times before you can withdraw it), and any time limits are all unknown from publicly available information. That's a red flag for any player trying to assess the real value before signing up.
Ongoing Promotions
Existing players can earn free bets through a referral scheme and by playing free pots or entering a promo code.

The Refer-A-Betmate scheme gives both you and your referred friend a £10 free bet once they sign up, deposit, and play a paid pot. The free bet can be used on any game mode, but there's no published expiry date or wagering requirement in the available terms. Free bets earned through promo codes or free pots appear in the app as an orange gift icon and can only be used on eligible pots. No wagering requirement, withdrawal cap, or time limit is stated for free bets in the partial terms available.
