bet365 Edit Bet Guide: How to Change Your Bets (August 2026)
Don't get stuck with a wager you no longer want. Learn how to update your active selections before settlement with our quick-start bet365 Edit Bet guide.
How the bet365 Edit Bet Feature Works
Behind its simple interface, the Edit Bet feature is powered entirely by bet365’s Cash Out functionality. Here is the mechanical breakdown of what happens when you modify a wager:
- The Automatic Cash-Out: The system instantly cashes out your active bet at its current value.
- The Instant Re-Bet: It immediately uses those cash-out funds as the stake to place your newly adjusted wager.
- 💡 The Only Exception: If you edit a bet to add a selection or increase your stake while every single selection in your original wager is still pre-match and has had zero odds movement, your original stake remains untouched.
You can edit any unresolved wager as long as the Cash Out option is actively available for all pending parts of your slip. Even if several legs of an accumulator have already finished and won, you can still edit and swap the remaining, undecided outcomes.
Key Points to Keep in Mind
Before modifying your bet slip, make sure you understand these crucial factors to avoid unwanted surprises:
- Odds Will Fluctuate (Live Pricing): Your new wager will reflect current live market odds, not the prices you originally locked in. Always review the updated potential return before confirming.
- Flexible Bet Structures: You aren't restricted to just swapping teams. You can alter the structural format of your wager, such as turning a single bet into an accumulator, splitting a treble into three doubles, or shifting a Win-Only bet to an Each-Way bet.
- The Validation Time Delay: There is a brief processing delay (usually a few seconds) while bet365 validates your edit. If a market is suspended (e.g., during a VAR review or a touchdown) or the odds shift during this window, your edit request will be rejected. Do not rely on this feature as a last-second safety net.
- Promo & Bonus Restrictions: If your original wager was placed to satisfy a bonus code or a welcome offer's rollover terms, proceed with caution. The original stake will no longer count toward your wagering requirements once edited. Your new edited stake can still qualify, but only if it independently meets the terms of the promotion.
- ⚠️ Note on Bet Builders: The Edit Bet tool is incredibly versatile, but it cannot be used on Bet Builder wagers. Make sure you are completely satisfied with your Bet Builder selections before locking them in.
How to Use the bet365 Edit Bet Feature
Ready to take control of your live wagers? Use this step-by-step walkthrough to access the editing suite and modify your active bet slips in real-time.
Step 1: Accessing the Edit Menu
Before you can change your selections, you need to locate your active slips and unlock the editing interface.
- Log In: Open the bet365 app or website and sign in.
- Open Your Slips: Tap My Bets in the main navigation menu.
- Go to Cash Out: Select the Cash Out tab. (Note: Because the Edit Bet feature uses cash-out mechanics, your active slip must be eligible for Cash Out to be edited.)
- Unlock Edit Mode: Tap Edit Bet in the top-right corner of your chosen bet slip.
Step 2: Modifying Your Slip
Once Edit Mode is active, your bet slip will change to allow real-time adjustments. Here is how to make specific changes:
What You Want to Do |
How to Do It |
Add a Selection |
Tap "Add Selections". This will let you browse the sportsbook. Select your new pick and tap "Add to Bet" at the bottom of the temporary slip. |
Swap a Selection |
Tap the specific selection you want to change. In the "Swap Selection" pop-up, choose a new alternative from the same market, and tap "Done". |
Remove a Selection |
Tap the "X" icon to the left of the pick. This strikes it through. (If you make a mistake, simply tap "Undo" to bring it back). |
Change Your Bet Type |
Tap your current bet type at the top of the slip (e.g., Treble). Select a new format, or toggle the Each Way checkbox. |
Increase Your Stake |
Tap the current cash-out value (your current stake) at the bottom left. Type in the extra amount you'd like to risk. |
Step 3: Saving and Locking It In
Making changes on your screen doesn't automatically update your bet. You have to submit your new slip before the live odds change again.
⚠️ The Golden Rule: Once your edits are complete, you must tap Save Changes and then immediately tap Confirm. There is a strict 5-second confirmation window. If live odds shift or a market is suspended while you are confirming, your edit request will fail, and you will have to try again.
- Edit Bet is available on selected events, fixtures and markets both pre-match and In-Play for a variety of sports including Soccer, Tennis, Horse Racing, Cricket and Basketball.
- A time delay occurs when validating an Edit Bet request. If the price changes or a market suspends during this time then the Edit Bet request may not be successful.
- If the Edit Bet request is successful, the bet will be placed using the new stake and the edited selections will display within My Bets.
- When a bet is edited using the Edit Bet feature the new stake will be equal to the current Cash Out value of the bet. The only exceptions to this are: where Edit Bet is used to add a selection to a bet or to increase a stake where all selections in the original bet are still pre-match and where no odds changes have occurred (in this instance the new stake will be equal to the original stake amount or, where the stake has been increased, the increased stake amount); or where the bet type is changed and the Cash Out amount cannot be split equally across all parts of the new bet (in this instance the stake will be rounded down to be applied equally across all parts of the new bet with any excess returned to your account).
- Where a bet has been edited using our Edit Bet feature, the original stake will not count towards any offers that include turnover requirements. The new stake would be eligible to contribute towards a turnover requirement, provided that the selections meet the qualifying criteria.
- Some bet365 offers will not be applied where the Edit Bet feature has been used. See Terms and Conditions for each offer for details.
- Edit Bet is not available on Bet Builder, Each Way Extra bets, Colossus bets, Parlay Cards, Teasers, Fixed Teaser Cards or Fantasy Sports.
- bet365 cannot guarantee that the Edit Bet feature will be available on your bet selection. Where Edit Bet is available pre-event and we do not cover the event In-Play then Edit Bet will be unavailable once the event starts.
- When editing a bet, any betting limits will still be in place and calculated in the same manner as placing any bet. Where the editing of a bet causes any betting limits to be met, the Edit Bet request would be declined.
- bet365 will not be responsible if the Edit Bet feature is not available for technical reasons and bets will stand as originally placed during any such period.
- bet365 reserves the right to accept or decline any bet/wager requested for any sport, competition, market or bet type when attempting to use the Edit Bet feature.
- bet365 reserves the right to amend, suspend or remove the Edit Bet feature at any time for any event, fixture, market or customer. Any bets placed on such events, fixtures or markets will stand as originally placed.
- bet365 reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a bet that has been edited using the Edit Bet feature if the bet or a market is settled in error.

The feature relies entirely on bet365's Cash Out system. If Cash Out is temporarily suspended (e.g., during a crucial VAR review, a penalty kick, or a sudden odds shift), the Edit Bet option will be unavailable until live markets reopen.
Generally, no. Wagers placed using Bet Credits, free bets, or specific promotional bonuses are typically excluded from the Edit Bet feature. It is best to stick to real-money balances if you want mid-game flexibility.
No, you cannot directly lower your stake amount. You can only increase it by adding more funds or changing the type of bet (e.g., converting a straight bet into an accumulator/parlay). If you want to take funds off the table, you should look into the Partial Cash Out feature instead.
