The Pools Acca Boost is one of the best ongoing accumulator offers available in the UK. Place a cash bet with three or more selections at minimum odds of 1/5 (1.2) per selection and The Pools will boost your winnings automatically – no opt-in required, no promo code needed.
The more selections you add, the bigger the boost. At 15 or more selections you get 60% added to your winnings on top of the standard return. For regular accumulator punters this is a genuinely valuable ongoing promotion.
Available to both new and existing customers across a wide range of sports.

The Pools Acca Boost Table
The boost percentage is determined by the number of selections in your accumulator. All selections must be at minimum odds of 1/5 (1.2).
| Number of Selections | Cash Boost |
|---|---|
| 3 | 5% |
| 4 | 7.5% |
| 5 | 10% |
| 6 | 15% |
| 7 | 17.5% |
| 8 | 20% |
| 9 | 25% |
| 10 | 30% |
| 11 | 35% |
| 12 | 40% |
| 13 | 45% |
| 14 | 50% |
| 15+ | 60% |
The boosted winnings are credited to your account upon bet settlement. The minimum cash boost credited is 10p.
How Does The Pools Acca Boost Work?
The boost is applied automatically to any qualifying accumulator – you do not need to opt in or activate anything. When you build a qualifying accumulator in your bet slip, The Pools will show you the boosted potential payout before you place the bet, so you can see exactly what the boost is worth before confirming.
Example: You place a 5-selection accumulator that returns £100 in winnings. The 10% boost adds £10, giving you a total return of £110. At 10 selections, the 30% boost on a £100 return adds £30. At 15 selections, the 60% boost doubles the value of the boost significantly on bigger returns.
The boost applies to the profit from the bet, not the total return. The cash boost is credited at the point of settlement.

Which Sports Qualify for The Pools Acca Boost?
The Acca Boost applies to the following sports:
Football, Tennis, Basketball, American Football, Boxing, Cricket, Darts, Esports, Ice Hockey, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, Table Tennis and MMA.
This covers all the major sports you are likely to be building accumulators on, making it one of the most versatile acca boost offers around.
What Does Not Qualify?
The following bet types are excluded from The Pools Acca Boost:
- Single bets, system bets or any bet with fewer than 3 selections
- In-play bets
- Outright bets
- Bets cashed out or partially cashed out
- Bets with void legs that result in settlement with fewer than 3 qualifying selections
- Any bet that would otherwise qualify but has been placed in combination with another promotion
Why The Pools Acca Boost Stands Out
Most bookmaker acca boosts start at five selections and offer modest percentages at the lower end. The Pools start their boost at just three selections – meaning even a treble qualifies for a 5% boost. This is more accessible than most competitor offers.
At the higher end, 60% for 15+ selections is among the most generous acca boost rates on the market. For punters who regularly build longer accumulators across the weekend’s football fixtures, this can add meaningful value to winning returns.
The boost is also applied across a broad range of sports – not just football – making it useful for punters who combine football, tennis and basketball selections in the same accumulator.
