A Heinz bet is a full-cover multiple built from six selections. Across those six picks, the bookmaker assembles 57 separate wagers: 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and 1 six-fold. Every one of those lines must land for the bet to pay out in full. There are no singles in a Heinz, which separates it from a Lucky 15, where four picks generate 15 bets including four singles. The Heinz is therefore a high-variance, high-line wager that rewards accuracy across a whole card rather than a single result.

The UK Rule That Backs Every Bet Below

A Heinz bet cannot be offered, settled or advertised without a Gambling Commission licence covering remote general betting. The Commission, a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, runs Great Britain’s commercial gambling market under the Gambling Act 2005. The Act applies to England, Scotland and Wales; Northern Ireland runs on its own older law and is not covered here. Since the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014, an operator whose remote facilities serve customers in Great Britain needs a Commission licence wherever it sits. A Malta or Gibraltar registration is not a substitute, because the test of who holds one is the Commission’s public register itself.

Before any deposit can be made or any bet can be placed, the operator must verify the customer’s name, address and date of birth. The minimum age is 18, and that check applies to a free bet and to a bonus, not only to a deposit. Credit cards are banned for gambling in Great Britain, including credit-card-funded payments through an e-wallet; debit cards and bank-based payments are not caught by that ban.

The Commission also licenses betting intermediaries, which is the category a betting exchange falls under. Smarkets is one such licensed operator in this comparison. Financial spread betting sits under the Financial Conduct Authority rather than the Commission; the brand named for Spreadex trades on both sides and is regulated by the FCA for spread betting and by the Commission for fixed-odds betting. Spread betting losses can exceed the deposit, which is why that dual regulation exists.

Safer Gambling Tools Attached to Every Licensed Account

Every operator listed below is a member of GAMSTOP, the national multi-operator self-exclusion scheme that has been a mandatory licence condition for online operators since March 2020. Exclusion periods run for six months, one year, five years, or five years with auto-renewal, and after the minimum term the exclusion stays in force for a further seven years unless the customer asks GAMSTOP to remove it.

A financial vulnerability check, set out in LCCP condition 3.4.4 and in force since 30 August 2024, applies to remote betting once a customer’s deposits minus withdrawals cross £150 in a rolling 30 days. That check is a public-record check, reading bankruptcy or county court judgments rather than an income or credit-reference search. Financial risk assessments were announced in a staged plan (Commission article of 7 July 2026) with no start date.

Deposit limits are a customer-set tool, not a state-set one. The first phase of fixed-time-frame limits applied from 31 October 2025, a second phase was postponed to 30 September 2026, and whether it is live is not settled. No statutory cap on stakes or losses in sports betting exists, so a Heinz’s £10-per-line minimum sits inside whatever stake ceiling the operator applies to its multiples.

Where the gamble has tipped past recreation, GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline, GambleAware funds treatment, NHS gambling clinics take referrals, and Gamblers Anonymous runs peer support. Help exists, and using it costs nothing.

Bonuses, Free Bets and What the Cap Does to a Heinz Promotion

The bonus word on a Heinz promotion usually means “free bet” or “bet credit.” A free bet pays the winnings only, not the stake back, and a Heinz wagered entirely on free bets can wipe out across 57 lines before a single return comes through. Midnite’s sports welcome offer, for example, hands £25 in free bets and 50 free spins to a customer who bets £5 or more on pre-match odds of EVS (2.0) or greater within 14 days of sign-up; the free bets are valid for 7 days and the value is per bet, not per accumulator. Spreadex’s new-customer deal, by contrast, pays £60 in free bets for a £10 fixed-odds qualifying bet, usable across fixed odds and spread betting, with the qualifying bet to be placed within 28 days.

From 19 January 2026, wagering requirements on bonuses are capped at 10x. A £10 bonus at 50x would once have demanded £500 of bets; under the cap, no more than £100 can be required. Mixed-product promotions, where a bet unlocks free spins or a casino credit, are also banned from that date. Whether the cap applies to free bets with no wagering condition, and any ceiling on the cash value of a bonus, are not settled. The page never prints a promo code or voucher, because the value is the offer itself and the cost is the turnover.

No named bookmaker in this comparison publishes a Heinz-specific free-bet calculator beyond what its general bet-slip accepts. A free bet whose stake is not returned has a value of free-bet amount × (odds − 1) ÷ odds × payout share of the market it lands on; for a Heinz that runs across 57 lines, the average value is small in absolute terms because so few of those 57 bets win at all.

Heinz Systems, Tips and the Honest Limits of Forecasts

A “system bet” is the same shape as a Heinz, just named generically: it combines selections into a structured set of multiples. The Heinz is one system, the Trixie and the Lucky 15 are smaller ones, and the Super Heinz and Goliath are the larger ones in the family. Tips for these bets typically arrive as “system betting tips” or “Heinz betting tips,” and the marketing fits the page’s angle: a Heinz looks cheap at £2 per line, but 57 lines at £2 makes £114 of stake on a single card.

No tip can predict six outcomes. Any page selling a Heinz “prediction” sells a guess, because the probability that all six selections win is the product of six single-event probabilities, each trimmed by the bookmaker’s margin. The honest framing is that a Heinz pays out handsomely when it does, and the proportion of cards that return any money at all is the figure that decides what a Heinz is worth to a punter on average. A standard single-selection margin on a 1X2 football market runs in the 5–8% band, which already trims every leg before the Heinz multiplies them together.

A bettor with a small bankroll is the wrong audience for this bet. The correct audience is a bettor who has six strong opinions on a single card and the stake to fund 57 lines at the unit stake they choose. The marketing word for Heinz on promotional pages is often “spread the risk,” which is the inverse of what the bet actually does: a Heinz concentrates risk across 57 lines all needing to win from a base of six picks.

How a Heinz Is Built and Settled

A Heinz is described as a full cover bet, meaning every available multiple over a given number of selections, here six. This composition of 57 bets covers every multiple combination from doubles up to a six-fold. A Super Heinz lifts that to 120 bets over seven selections and a Goliath to 247 bets over eight. A Trixie runs to 4 bets over three selections and a Yankee to 11 over four.

The stake mathematics are simple. A £10 unit stake on a Heinz produces £570 of total stake, because £10 × 57 = £570. A £2 unit stake produces £114. The bookmaker’s bet slip usually accepts a “unit stake” input and multiplies it through the 57 lines automatically. The return on any single winning line is stake × odds of that line, and the overall return sums the wins across all winning lines. Because most Heinz cards return zero, the payout calculation that matters is what one six-fold pays back when it lands.

When a selection in a multiple bet is void, the bet drops to the next lowest multiple: a treble becomes a double and an accumulator settles on the remaining selections. A non-runner in a horse-racing leg of a Heinz therefore costs the bettor the variety of lines, not the whole card. A Rule 4 deduction, a bookmaker-specific rule, applies a fixed-pence reduction in the price of every line that leg touches.

Odds are quoted fractionally in Great Britain (5/1) or decimally (6.00), with conversion a/b → a ÷ b + 1. The Heinz relies on combined decimal odds on each leg, multiplied across each line: a treble at 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 settles at 24.00 on a £10 stake if all three win, returning £240 and producing a profit of £230. The Heinz multiplies six such numbers into a six-fold line that, at modest odds, can return four or five figures on a small unit stake.

What the Payout Looks Like in Numbers

Take six football selections priced at decimal 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50, where two legs sit at evens (2.00) for variety. A £2 unit stake on a Heinz costs £114 in total. On the six-fold line alone, the combined odds are 1.50 × 2.00 × 2.00 × 2.00 × 2.00 × 2.50 = 60.00, so the six-fold pays £120 in profit on a £2 stake if all six selections win. Across all 57 lines, a fully successful card returns the sum of stake × combined odds of each line, less the £114 already paid. At moderate prices the return climbs into four figures; at shorter prices it climbs less steeply, because the four-folds, five-folds and six-fold dominate the value.

The headline figure is best given as a band rather than a single number, because the six individual prices a punter picks determine everything. On a card of six shots at 1.50, the six-fold combined price runs around 11.4; on a card with two legs at 2.50, it climbs past 60. The arithmetic that follows is the same, and the punter’s six picks decide which band the card lands in. Treat the calculation as an estimate, not a forecast: an average over many Heinz cards sits well below any one successful card, because most cards return nothing.

Related Full-Cover Bets by Size

A Heinz sits inside a family of full-cover bets where each step up adds more multiples. The table below sets the size ladder, so a punter who likes the Heinz idea but wants fewer lines can read across to the Trixie or the Lucky 15 without relearning the structure.

The Lucky 15 differs from the Yankee by carrying four singles; the Heinz has no singles at all. A Super Heinz carries 120 bets across 7 picks, and a Goliath carries 247 across 8 picks. The cost of each scales with the unit stake, and the upside scales with the combined price of the longest line.

Top 10 GB-Licensed Bookmakers That Settle a Heinz

The ten brands below all hold a Gambling Commission remote licence for general betting standard on real events and accept a Heinz from a verified GB customer. The order is editorial, not a ranking: a Heinz is settled identically across the ten on the maths, and the differences lie in pricing, bet-builder support, in-play depth and the offers each bookmaker attaches to its multiples.

Midnite — Heinz Friendly with In-Play Depth

Midnite operates under Gambling Commission account 101839 (Midnite Limited) and shows in-play events, an acca builder, popular accas and price boosts on its sports home page. The acca builder supports a Heinz when each selection is added through the slip. The site is GAMSTOP-membership compliant by dint of its licence, and the price-boost ceiling applies per stake. The Heinz here is best for a punter who wants boosted singles inside a multiple, with the caveat that boosted-odds terms often shorten the maximum stake and the boost rarely applies to every leg.

Smarkets — Heinz Settled on the Exchange Layer

Smarkets is licensed as a betting intermediary under Commission account 39173 (Smarkets (Malta) Limited). The exchange model means a Heinz is built by backing six selections rather than placing a fixed-odds multiple, and the cost is commission on net winnings rather than margin baked into the price. New customers have been offered 0% commission for 60 days with a minimum first deposit of £10. Standard commission is 2% on eligible exchange bets, so a winning Heinz leg attracts commission on the profit from that leg. The exchange is the cheapest venue for a Heinz on price, but each leg has to be matched at the chosen price.

888sport — Heinz with Cash Out, Bet Builder and Streams

888sport runs under Commission account 39028 (888 UK Limited) and offers pre-match and in-play betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder, racing streams, BetFinder form tools, a live bet feed and daily boosted odds. A Heinz is accepted on the bet slip and Cash Out is available on the bet as a whole, with the cash-out figure trimmed by the bookmaker’s margin on every leg still alive. This approach allows for early profit-taking, though cash-out values are reduced by the bookmaker’s margin on active legs.

BoyleSports — Heinz Plus Acca Insurance on the Side

BoyleSports holds Commission account 39469 (Boylesports Enterprise) and runs an Acca Insurance product. Opt-in is required, a minimum stake of £5 applies, minimum odds of 1/2 sit on each leg, and a maximum refund of £20 is paid as a free bet that expires in 7 days; the qualifying bets must be placed and settled on the same day. Acca insurance refunds a losing accumulator when one leg lets the card down, which matters less for a Heinz than for a six-fold accumulator because a Heinz can still return a four-fold or five-fold from five winners. This structure provides a useful safety net for the accumulator portion of the bet.

William Hill — Heinz with Best Odds Guaranteed on Racing Legs

William Hill operates under Commission account 39475 (WHG (International) Limited) and pays Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish horse racing from 8 AM on the day of the race, on both single and multiple bets. BOG does not apply to ante-post, tote or pari-mutuel bets. A Heinz with a racing leg gains an automatic price upgrade if the SP beats the taken price, which on a six-fold can lift the payout meaningfully. It offers a compelling structure for building Saturday horse-racing cards.

LiveScore Bet — Heinz with a 10-Leg Bet Builder

LiveScore Bet runs under Commission account 56859 (LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited). The Bet Builder allows up to 10 selections and covers match result, both teams to score, corners, total goals, player scoring and card markets. A Heinz built from a Bet Builder is allowed where the bet slip accepts the selection type, with the cost being the in-built margin that every bet-builder combinator carries. This provides football bettors with a way to combine selected match-result markets into one strategy.

Betboro — Heinz with Cash Out, Boosts and Deposit Limits

Betboro holds Commission account 44181 (Webmedia Development N.V.) and offers in-play markets and cash-out on football, racing and tennis, boosted odds on selected singles from £10 stakes, and the full safer-gambling toolbox including deposit limits, reality checks and self-exclusion. A Heinz is accepted on the slip and cash-out is available on the live card. It works well for those leveraging price boosts, keeping in mind the maximum stake limits that typically apply.

Spreadex — Heinz Across Fixed Odds and Spread Betting

Spreadex is regulated by the FCA for spread betting and by the Gambling Commission for fixed-odds betting, and is licensed under Commission account 8835 (Spreadex Limited). The bookmaker’s new customer offer pays £60 in free bets for a £10 fixed-odds bet, with the free bets usable across fixed odds and spread betting and the qualifying bet to be placed within 28 days of opening the account. A Heinz can be built from fixed-odds legs only, and the spread-betting product sits separately. It is an efficient choice for punters seeking consolidated betting across both fixed-odds and spread-betting products.

Lottoland — Heinz Alongside Lottery and Casino

Lottoland UK holds Commission account 38991 (EU Lotto Limited) and combines casino, lottery betting, sports betting and scratchcards in one app. The sportsbook accepts Heinz multiples on the standard bet slip, with the product breadth adding variety to the legs a punter can pick. It is a convenient option for users managing diverse betting interests, though the sportsbook interface is secondary to the primary lottery offerings.

Paddy Power — Heinz with Bet Builder+ and Super Sub

Paddy Power operates under Commission account 39439 (PPB Counterparty Services Limited) and offers Bet Builder+, Popular Bet Builders, Super Sub (a bet rolls over to the replacement if a selected player is substituted), expanded Win More markets and player and ACCA stats. A Heinz built from Bet Builder+ legs is accepted on the slip, with Super Sub applying to player-market selections. It is ideal for bettors creating custom multiples from individual player prop markets.

What a Heinz Costs the Punter: The Practical Calculation

The headline figure on a Heinz is the unit stake. A £10 unit stake on a Heinz costs £570 of total stake, and a £2 unit stake costs £114. On the six-fold line alone, combined odds of 60.00 (the example earlier) produce a return of £120 on a £2 stake if every selection wins, which is a profit of £118 on that single line. Across all 57 lines, a fully successful card returns the sum of stake × combined odds of each line, less the £114 already paid in.

The honest framing is that a Heinz pays out handsomely when it does, and most cards pay back nothing. The average return across many Heinz cards sits well below the headline payout, because the bookmaker’s margin on every leg trims each line before it multiplies, and the proportion of cards that return any money at all is the figure that decides what a Heinz is worth on average. Treat the calculation as an estimate, not a forecast: the maths above is sound for a single successful card, and silent on what proportion of cards succeed.

The constraint that bites the punter hardest is the total stake. £114 on a single card is not a casual bet, and £570 is a substantial position. A punter with a small bankroll is the wrong audience for this bet, regardless of the marketing on the bet-slip page.

Why a Heinz Exists and Where It Hurts

A Heinz exists because punters like the idea of a six-fold payout without paying the full stake on the longest line. The bookmaker takes the opposite view: a Heinz concentrates risk across 57 lines that all need to win, and the proportion of cards that pay out is small enough to fund the occasional large payout. The marketing word for Heinz is usually “spread the risk,” which is the inverse of what the bet actually does. The honest framing is that a Heinz concentrates risk across 57 lines and a small proportion of cards return any money at all.

The Heinz is best understood as a high-variance multiple that rewards six strong opinions on a single card. A punter who has six picks and the stake to fund 57 lines gets the structure it was designed for; a punter who wants six picks with a single line to land should place an accumulator rather than a Heinz, because the stake on a six-fold accumulator is £10 rather than £570 for the same six picks at the same prices.

FAQ

What is a super heinz bet?

A Super Heinz is a full-cover bet on seven selections across 120 bets: 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold. It carries no singles, and the total stake is unit stake × 120, so a £2 unit stake costs £240.

What is a heinz bet?

A Heinz is a full-cover bet on six selections generating 57 bets, excluding any singles. The total stake is unit stake × 57, and a £2 unit stake costs £114.

How many bets are in a super heinz?

A Super Heinz contains 120 bets across 7 selections. The breakdown is 21 doubles, 35 trebles, 35 four-folds, 21 five-folds, 7 six-folds and 1 seven-fold, with no singles, so the total stake runs unit stake × 120.

How can a bookmaker’s Gambling Commission licence be checked?

The Commission’s public register is searchable by business name, trading name, domain or account number, and the ten brands above all sit on it under the licence numbers listed in the comparison table. Search by trading name or domain and read off the licence status, the licence holder, and the categories on the register.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

The return on a single bet is stake × odds, where odds are decimal. The net profit is stake × (odds − 1). For a combination bet, the odds of the legs multiply into one price, and the stake on that line is unit stake; a £10 accumulator at combined odds of 60.00 returns £600 if every leg wins.

What is the bookmaker’s margin and how is it visible in the odds?

The margin is what the bookmaker keeps of every unit bet on a market, and it shows up in the prices themselves rather than as a separate fee. On a 1X2 football market with implied probabilities adding to 107%, the margin is 7%; the payout share is 93%. The smaller the margin, the better the prices a punter faces.
