Getting started with Trackbet: add your first bet
A step-by-step guide to setting up your Trackbet account, creating your first bankroll, adding bookmakers, and tracking your first bet.
Key takeaways
- Create your account in seconds with email, Google, or Telegram
- Set up your bankroll with your starting balance and preferred currency
- Add your bookmakers during onboarding — they're used across all your bets
- Choose between Quick Scan (screenshot) or manual entry to add your first bet
- Your dashboard updates in real-time as you add and settle bets
Step 1: Create your account
Go to trackbet.io and click Sign up free. You can register with:
- Email and password — you'll receive a 6-digit confirmation code
- Google account — one-click sign-up, no password needed
- Telegram — authenticate via the Telegram widget
After creating your account, you'll go through a quick onboarding wizard (about 60 seconds) that sets up your profile.
Step 2: Set up your bankroll
During onboarding, you'll create your first bankroll. A bankroll is a separate pool of betting funds with its own currency and tracking.
- Name it — e.g., "Main", "Value betting EUR", "Fun bets"
- Choose a currency — EUR, USD, GBP, or units
- Set starting balance — your initial bankroll amount
You can create additional bankrolls later (up to your tier limit) to separate different strategies, currencies, or public/private tracking.
Step 3: Add your bookmakers
Next, add the bookmakers you bet with. Start typing to search from a list of hundreds of bookmakers, or add a custom name if yours isn't listed.
Your bookmakers are used across your entire account — when adding a bet, you'll select from your bookmaker list rather than typing every time.
You can track deposits and withdrawals per bookmaker later from the Bookmakers page, giving you a complete view of your funds across all sportsbooks.
Step 4: Set your preferences
Choose your timezone (auto-detected from your browser) and odds format (decimal, American, or fractional). These settings affect how dates and odds are displayed throughout the app.
You can change these anytime from the Settings page.
Step 5: Add your first bet
Navigate to Add bet from the sidebar. You have two options:
Quick Scan (recommended for speed):
- Take a screenshot of your bet slip from your bookmaker
- Drag, paste, or upload the image
- Trackbet extracts all the details automatically
- Review and confirm — edit any fields if needed
Manual entry:
- Choose bet type: Single, Combo (accumulator), or Builder
- Fill in the details: event, odds, stake, bookmaker, sport
- Optionally search for the event to enable automatic score tracking and CLV
- Submit the bet
Quick Scan supports single bets, accumulators, and bet builders — it detects the type automatically from the screenshot.

When your bet is decided, settle it from the Dashboard or Bet History page:
- Won — profit is added to your bankroll
- Lost — stake is deducted
- Half won / Half lost — for Asian handicap bets that partially settle
- Void — stake is returned (no profit or loss)
- Cashout — enter the cashout amount
For combo bets, you can settle individual legs as they finish. The overall bet settles automatically when all legs are decided.
If your bet is linked to a live event, Trackbet can show scores in real-time so you can follow the action.
Step 7: Explore your dashboard
Your dashboard shows key performance indicators (KPIs) at a glance:
- Total profit/loss — your bottom line
- ROI — return on investment as a percentage
- Win rate — percentage of bets won
- Average odds — your typical odds level
- Profit chart — visual trend of your profit over time
As you add more bets, your Analytics page will unlock deeper insights: performance by sport, bookmaker, market, time period, and more. If you have CLV tracking enabled, you'll also see your closing line value metrics.
