How can you collect your ZEmiles points?
Accumulate ZEmiles :
For all your bets superior or equal to 1, you will receive from 1 to 5 ZEmiles according to your kind of bet (see values board).
If this amount is lower than 1, you will receive the number of ZEmiles indicated in the board opposite, multiplied by the exact amount of your bet.
Example : for 1 0,50 € Trifecta bet, you will receive 4 points ZEmiles x 0,50 € / 1 = a total of 2,00 € ZEmiles.
ZEmiles for V-bets
For V-bets the way you will earn ZEmiles is based on the ticket rather than the combination. All your selections are combined into a single bet and based on the value you will earn ZEmiles. The minimum amount to earn ZEmiles is € 1 for your total bet, you will earn the amount shown in the table to the right. For each € 10 more, you will again earn the amount of ZEmiles listed next the bet type. The amount between brackets is the maximum amount you can earn. So for example, if you bet a V75 which is in total € 26, you will get 3 points for being over € 1 and 2x 3 points for adding € 10. In total you will receive 9 ZEmiles for this bet.

How can you collect your ZEpoints on Zebet?
For each simple bet of at least 1, recorded, Zepoints are automatically credited to your account, based on the odds of your bet. (see tab below).
If two identical bets are placed (the same event, the same bet and the same response), Zepoints are only paid to you once. In the event that the odds change between the 2 bets, the higher odds shall apply.
You place combined or system bets
If your bet is at least 1, each element of your combined bet is recorded separately.
For example:
You place a combined bet with the 3 following bets
- A (odds 3.2)
- B (odds 1.6)
- C (odds 2.2)
You will obtain 11 ZEpoints for A, 3 ZEpoints for B and 8 Zepoints for C, or a total of 22 Zepoints.
Be careful! As two identical bets only entitle you to a single ZEpoints award, if you have already made one or more simple, combined or system bets, you will not be able to receive Zepoints for this/these bet(s).
A system bet is made of several combined bets. The Zepoints are given accordingly. Each combined bet of your system bet should be at least 1.
You play a grid
Are you trying to hit the jackpot?
Each 0.5 grid entitles you to 2 ZEpoints. Each 1 grid entitles you to 4 ZEpoints. Multiply your chances by ticking several boxes, and the number of Zepoints increases accordingly!
For example:
For a 0.5 grid, if you tick 2 boxes in a single line ("1" and "N", for example), you are in fact choosing 2 combinations. Your bet will therefore be €1 and you will pocket 4 ZEpoints.
For a 1 grid, if you tick 2 boxes on different lines, you are in fact choosing 4 combinations. Your bet will therefore be 4 and you will pocket 16 ZEpoints.
If two identical bets are placed (the same event, the same bet and the same response), Zepoints are only paid to you once. In the event that the odds change between the 2 bets, the higher odds shall apply.
