Betfair has launched a formidable World Cup opening-day offer for new customers, pricing up odds of 50/1 on a goal being scored in this evening’s Group C clash between Brazil and Morocco at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The promotion, which also throws in a £5 free bet on an England multi, is available exclusively to new punters signing up via the designated links and using the promo code ZFBEDP. The enhanced price applies to a maximum stake of £1 on the ‘over 0.5 goals’ market – meaning any goal from either side will trigger a win.
How the 50/1 offer works
Claiming the boosted odds requires a series of specific steps. First, open a new Betfair account using one of the promotional links on this page and enter the promo code ZFBEDP at registration. You must then opt in to the promotion before the match kicks off at 23:00 BST on Saturday, 13th June. A minimum deposit of £5 is required, and it must be made using a debit card, Apple Pay or Pay by Bank – e‑wallets such as PayPal, Skrill, Paysafe and Neteller do not qualify.
With the account funded, place a qualifying bet of no more than £1 on ‘over 0.5 goals’ in the Brazil vs Morocco over/under goals market. If a goal is scored, the bet wins and is settled in cash at the normal site odds. The additional winnings needed to bring the total payout to 50/1 are then credited as free bet builder tokens. Customers who successfully complete the qualifying bet will also receive a £5 free bet that can be used on an England World Cup fixture multi; that token lands 24 hours after settlement and remains valid for 30 days.
It is worth noting that cashed‑out, partially cashed‑out and Power Price bets do not count toward the promotion. The offer is open only to new customers aged 18 or over who are resident in the UK or Republic of Ireland.
Other Betfair World Cup promotions
Beyond the headline 50/1 price, Betfair is running a separate welcome offer for new customers on its Sportsbook: bet £10 at minimum odds of evens (2.0) and receive five £10 free bet tokens for Bet Builders, accumulators or multiples. This is distinct from the Exchange and can be used alongside the goal‑scoring promotion.
Existing customers also have plenty to explore. The “Refer a Friend” scheme pays £10 in cash for every friend referred who stakes £10 or more on the Sportsbook, Exchange, Bingo or Casino within 60 days, capped at five referrals (£50 total). The “90 Minute Guarantee” applies to all pre‑match Match Result bets on World Cup games: if your selection is ahead when the clock hits 90 minutes, the bet settles as a winner in cash, regardless of injury‑time goals. This covers singles, accumulators and Bet Builders.
For daily engagement, “Back It or Bin It” is a free‑to‑play game that asks punters to correctly predict the answer to seven betting‑related questions on a match, with a share of a £10,000 jackpot up for grabs. Daily cash prizes and surprise rewards such as free bets and price‑boost tokens are also available. Betfair is also offering daily Price Boosts on selected World Cup markets, flagged in the football promotions hub, and a “#OddsOnThat” feature that lets customers combine several markets into a custom bet and request a price. The “Safe Sub” promotion ensures that if a player market bet is placed and the player is substituted, the bet transfers to the replacement.

Match context and trends
Brazil, five‑time world champions and one of the tournament favourites, begin their campaign against a Morocco side that reached the semi‑finals at the last World Cup. The Group C tie, which also includes Scotland and Haiti, is widely regarded as the toughest test for both teams in the group. The venue, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, boasts a capacity of over 82,500 and will host multiple matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including the Final. Notably, Brazil have scored in their opening game at every World Cup since 1974 – a run spanning 12 tournaments. Both teams have found the net in six of Brazil’s last seven matches, while Morocco are unbeaten in 90 minutes across their past 29 internationals and have recorded only one goalless draw in their last 16 outings. It has been 11 games since Brazil were involved in a 0‑0 draw.
