What are Free Bets?

Free bets are incentives offered by bookmakers to new customers in the form of bonus money and are rewarded to the customers once a new account has been created and a real money deposit was made. Free Bets UK are not free per se, to get any of the betting offers you will have to make a real money deposit first. Offers of this kind are also called ‘free bets on registration‘.

On top of that, all free bets awarded carry certain wagering requirements. It means you still have a way to go to turn your free bets into real money. So, it is up to you to make a sound judgment on how ‘free’ these offers are. Following that, a much better term would be ‘bonus’, as that is what the free bet offers really are.

No matter what the definition is, all of the betting offers are just an impulse given to new customers through various sign-up offers.

Betting offers are not only for new accounts opened – once you join a bookmaker of your choice, all of them offer very nice bonuses for loyal players. You can read more about this topic below.

Are free bets really free?

Free bets are awarded to your betting account, but only when you make a real money deposit. If you only register for an account, you will not get anything, simple as that. To get any of the free bet offers you will have to make a real money deposit. That would lead us to the conclusion that free bets are more likely an added bonus value to your account than free betting money.

That being said, preferred terms for free bets would be ‘bonus’, ‘vouchers’ or ‘tokens’.

How to Get Free Bet Offers?

Let’s take a look at how to get one typical, let’s say “Bet 10 get 10” bonus offer, with a wagering requirement of 1x deposit, 1x bonus, min. odds Evens (2.0).

  1. The first thing you will have to do, of course, is to register with a sportsbook offering such a promotion.
  2. Make a minimum deposit required
  3. Place your first bet according to the rules for the promotion, which is in this case Evens – that is your deposit turned over 1x
  4. Once your bet has been settled you will get credited with a £10 in free bets
  5. Use your free bet respecting the odds – find an event with Evens, place your bet and that is it – your wagering requirements are fulfilled.
  6. If you win, you will get the winnings minus the free bets stake

So, this is a typical requirement. Other bonus offers may require a turnover of 2, 3, or X times.

In general, bookies will send you an email with instructions on how to get your bonus, so just follow the guidelines. In most cases, all bonuses are straightforward and easy to claim.

What does ‘wagering requirements’ mean?

Wagering requirements are a set of rules on how many times you have to roll over your deposit and/or bonus so it becomes real money. In other words, you will have to place real money bet(s) on certain odds to get your bonus. Once you get it, you’ll have to roll it over a few times.

Wagering requirements are different from bookmaker to bookmaker, and all of them are subject to the terms of the specific offer. Please be aware that all bonuses cater to certain requirements, there is not a single one that doesn’t require turnover.

Here is an example of a wagering requirement for a 100% deposit bonus of up to £100 with the following terms;

  1. 1x first bet on odds of Evens to trigger the bonus
  2. 3x bonus turnover on Evens to convert the bonus into the real money

So what do you have to do to cash in?

  1. Deposit £100 and place a bet of £100 on a 1×2 market on some football match.
  2. Regardless did you win or lose, you will get credited with £100 in free bets.
  3. Next, we see that the bonus wagering requirement is 3x.
  4. Place a series of bets with your bonus until you reach £300 in stakes (3x£100=£300).
  5. Once that is clear, whatever is left from your stakes is real money and can be withdrawn.

This example is very simple – there are a lot of welcome betting offers around, some are very simple, and some are more complicated.

Read the tiny print before your first deposit to avoid any doubt about the offer. Also, get familiar with the rules of the bonus offers and make sure you understood them completely.

Ask yourself what you want from free bets

Some bonus offers are better than others, and it is up only to you to find the one that suits you the best. For example, keep in mind what are looking for. Is it a free bet for Cheltenham, Grand National, or are you looking for football or horse racing free bets?

You can open more than one betting account, which would give you more choices and possibilities to get better odds and more bonus opportunities. Deposit the correct amount required for the bonus. For example, for a 100% bonus of up to £100, you will need to make a first deposit of £100 to claim the full bonus amount.

If you don’t want to deposit a lot of money, you can go for special deals, like bet £10 and get £20. Stake the right amount according to the requirements – if the minimum first stake is £10, respect that rule, otherwise, your bonus might get voided.

Try to get the maximum value out of your new deposit bonus. Free bets are added value to your initial deposit so use them on higher odds – give yourself a chance to win some extra cash.

As per the rule with a majority of sports offers, the stakes placed with free bets are not returned and that is just one more reason to try to score a higher profit using your bonus funds.

In the UK market, competition for a share of the sports betting market is so high, that bonus offers are very versatile and can be very generous. When compared to the rest of the world, UK free bets market offers more than any other and is far more advanced than any other.

All this being said, just always remember, do not gamble away your assets, please gamble with care, and never spend more than you can afford. It should be fun, not an obsession, keep that in mind.

Pay Attention to the Free Bets Terms

All types of bonus offers are subject to terms and conditions and every bonus will be awarded if specific conditions have been met. To claim the bonus, you will have to meet certain criteria, like a minimum deposit amount, wagering requirement of the bonus, minimum odds required, and so on. Make sure that you check the terms and conditions for the betting offer you fancy before depositing.

In 99% of the cases, to get your bonus you will have to deposit the required amount, place the first stake and wait till it’s settled. Once that is done the bonus will be awarded to your account and you can start using it.

Some bookmakers award bonuses to your account as soon as you deposit, these bonus offers are usually called “Instant Deposit Bonus”.

What Makes a Good Free Bet Offer?

There are several points you have to consider before claiming any of the sports betting offers;

One of the crucial points in free bet rules is the minimum odds required. Are they Evens or 2/3 or something else? The lower the odds, the better the offer.

Another point is the wagering requirement. Once you got your bonus, how many times do I need to roll it over? Is it 3 times, 5 times, or 8? And again, what are the minimum odds required before cashing out?

All these rules adhere to what we call Good Free Bets. Take your time, browse, and investigate – there are a lot of sports betting offers and bonuses listed on our site.

Check for details on the following when searching for the right opportunity;

  1. Minimum deposit amount
  2. Minimum odds requirements
  3. Turnover requirements
  4. When is the bonus credited?
  5. What sort of bet types are eligible?
  6. Timeframe to use the free bet
  7. Deposit methods

Read the tiny print before your first deposit to avoid any doubt about the offer and get familiar with the rules to make sure you understood them completely.

If in doubt, all UK bookmakers run responsive and 24/7 customer service and you can always contact them for more details on the promotion.

There are many different variations of bonus types and free bets. Some offers are for new customers only, while some apply to both new and existing accounts. 

We will take a deeper look into offers for new customers first.

  1. Matched Deposit Bonus – Register, deposit, and place your first bet to get a matched bonus up to the same value as your first bet stake. Example: 100% bonus – Deposit £100, stake £100, get £100.
  2. 50% Bonus on First Deposit – 50% of the amount you deposited will be issued as free bets. Example: Deposit £100 get £50 in free bets.
  3. Money-Back – If your first bet is a loser you will get a refund of your initial stake.
  4. High percentage bonuses  – For a minimum deposit, you will get more. Examples include Bet £10 get £30,  Bet £10 get £60 and so on.
  5. Enhanced odds or price boosts – Enhanced odds or Boosted prices offer better prices on selected events if you sign up and bet on the event. For example; Arsenal to win against Norwich, was 1/5, now 1/1. Another example – stake £1 on odds of 40/1.

What about free bets for existing customers?

Free bets are not only for new accounts – once you join bookmakers of your choice, all of them offer very nice bonuses for loyal players.

We call these promotions Betting Offers.

Here are several examples of the most common betting offers for existing customers;

  1. Reload bonus – Deposit for 2nd, 3rd, etc time and get 100%, 50%…
  2. In-play bonus  – Place a bet either pre-match or on live betting and get a bonus for In-Play. Get better odds on certain events and higher payouts…
  3. Acca Bonuses – Get % added to your winning Acca bets, these usually stretch between 5 to 70%. 
  4. Cash-backs – Get a part or full stake back if your bet is a loser
  5. Betting Clubs – play regularly and get awarded in return
  6. Risk-free bets – If you miss, get your stake returned
  7. Price Boosts – Get better odds on selected events
  8. Daily, weekly and monthly rewards – Get rewarded for playing. The more you play, the more you get.

In-play Free Bets

In-play offers deserve a special paragraph in this betting guide. In-Play or Live Betting is a top product from any bookmaker and is very popular among the players therefore bookmakers offer a lot of bonuses on their live betting products.

If you fancy live-action and take an active role in betting, bookmakers will offer you a set of free bets and bonuses for selected live sports events while in play. 

Usually, that requires a pre-match stake – you’ll get some free cash in return. For example, one of the bookmakers regularly sends personalized offers to my email. As a loyal player, the offers land in my inbox on a regular basis.

Here is one quick example of how it works;

I’m a regular customer and have placed a pre-match stake in one of the Champions League matches, valued at £50. They decided to offer me £50 as a bonus bet for the same match, but for In-Play.

What does it mean? It means that once the match has started I can use my in-play free bet on any event offered. Simple, right?

When it comes to in-play bonus offers, to claim them you will have to register at any bookmaker that offers Live In-Play. Finding one shouldn’t be a problem as today almost all bookmakers offer streamed events and have live betting options included.

Choosing Free Bet Offers

In the UK free bets market, competition for a share of the market is fierce, and free bet offers are very creative and very generous by default. When compared to the rest of the world, the UK free bets and related promotions are the most generous and way more advanced than any other.

Some offers are better than others, and it is up only to you to find the one that you like the most. You can open more than one betting account, which would spread your choices and possibilities to get the best free bet offers possible and introduce you to more bonus opportunities. 

As per the rule with a majority of sports offers, the free bet stakes are not returned and that is just one more reason to try to score a higher profit using your bonus funds.

Before choosing a free bet offer, ask yourself a few questions:

  1. How much do I need to deposit?
  2. What are the minimum odds to trigger the bonus?
  3. What is the ratio of the bonus? Do I get a good value for my money?
  4. Are wagering requirements realistic or far-fetched?
  5. How much time do I have to spend on my free bets?
  6. Is my preferred deposit method accepted?
  7. Is the bookmaker licensed and regulated by UK Gambling Commission?

Bonus Codes for Free Bets

Some bookmakers publish bonus codes for free bets (also called promo or bonus tokens) that are required to trigger the specific bonus and get your welcome offer. That means you will have to enter the correct and up-to-date bonus code prior to either registration or deposit to claim your free bet offer.

Check carefully if the code is required. If you don’t use the correct bonus code or use the wrong one, you might miss the offer. However, in most cases, bonus codes are not required.

What About No Deposit Free Bets?

As mentioned previously, for 99.9% of UK free bets you will have to make a deposit to be eligible for the bonus. Therefore, to get your bonus in 99% of the cases you will have to place a real money deposit to trigger the respected offer.

Every now and then, bookmakers will offer no deposit bonuses, but those are very limited and don’t happen on a regular basis. Usually, it might be a new bookmaker on the market that wants to get some attention, but again, it is of very rare occurrence. If you find one, consider yourself very lucky.

On the other end, risk-free bets are very common, but for those, you will have to make a deposit.

What Does “T&Cs Apply” Mean?

All types of free bet offers are subject to terms and conditions and every bonus will be awarded under specific conditions.

To claim your free bets, you will have to meet certain criteria – is it a minimum deposit, turnover, minimum odds required and so on.

Please make sure that you check the terms and conditions for any betting offer you fancy before depositing. Deposit the required amount, place the first stake and wait till it’s settled. Once that is done your bonus will be awarded to your account and you can start using it.

Free betting offers are one of the key elements for players when opening new accounts – and bookies offer aplenty.

What is the “Stake not returned” rule?

Almost all free bet sites have the “Stake not returned” rule applied. It means that all of your bonuses will be paid out with profit only. The stake is not returned but only the profit made from the bet.
