What Is the 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer?
The 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout promotion is straightforward: if you place a bet on the Full Time Result market for any game in one of over 100 different football competitions, and your team goes two goals ahead at any point, you get paid as a winner, regardless of the final result.
How does the 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer Work?
Imagine you place a £10 bet on a World Cup 2026 qualifying match between England and Serbia, backing Serbia to win at odds of 3/1. If Serbia goes 2-0 up early in the game, your bet is declared a winner, and you would be paid out at the odds you took. So, a £10 stake at 3/1 would yield £30 in winnings, plus your £10 stake, for a total return of £40.
This 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout is guaranteed even if Serbia later concedes goals and ends up drawing or losing the game. Conversely, if England stages a comeback and wins, those who backed England in the Full Time Result market would also be paid out as winners.
Recent Matches Where The 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer Paid Out
Benfica 4-5 Barcelona – Champions League – Jan 21st 2025.
One of the most exciting Champions League games in recent memory saw an incredible game, where Benfica at one point led 3-1 and also 4-2, ensuring that their backers would receive a payout regardless of the score. It was a good job they did as Barcelona, led by Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, scored three goals in eighteen minutes, the last in the sixth minute of injury time, to snatch the win over their hosts. The 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout offer ensured backers of both teams were paid!
Tottenham Hotspurs 3-4 Chelsea – December 8th 2024.
Tottenham fans would have scarcely believed their luck when they took an early 2-0 lead against London rivals Chelsea back in December 2024. Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski scored the two goals which saw backers of Spurs earn a payout from this bonus fans. However, Chelsea stormed back with goals from Jadon Sancho, two from Cole Palmer and a fourth from Enzo Fernandez meaning that Chelsea backers also got paid out in this game.

How Often Does The 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer Pay Out?
You might think the 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout offer won’t pay out often, but across the numerous competitions included, payouts happen more regularly than you’d expect, benefiting backers of both teams.
For instance, in the 2022 World Cup Final, Argentina took a 2-0 and then a 3-1 lead against France. France leveled the score to 3-3 by full time, pushing the match into extra time and penalties. Standard win bets on Argentina would have lost, but with bet365’s 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout offer, those who backed Argentina still won their bet!
There are also many regular season games where a team takes a two-goal lead but ends up drawing or losing the game. A notable example is the match between Manchester City and Aston Villa on the final day of the 2021/22 Premier League season.
Bet365 customers who backed Aston Villa were paid out when Villa led 2-0 after 69 minutes. Manchester City then made a dramatic comeback to win 3-2, ensuring backers of Manchester City were also paid out thanks to the 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout offer!
Best of all, you don’t need to do anything extra to benefit from this offer. Simply place a qualifying bet, and if you qualify for the bonus, you’ll receive it automatically!
