What is a Free Bet?

Free bets are the welcome offers given away by bookmakers to attract new potential users or rewarding existing customers. New customer offers are generally offered as a percentage of the first amount invested, a fixed amount that it is added to the first deposit or an enhanced offer based on a match outcome.

The below is a guide, explaining everything you need to know to make the most of the best free bets from UK bookmakers, whether you are a new or existing customer. The terms and conditions of each offer and from each UK bookmaker vary quite widely so it’s always important to check what you are signing up for. For example, some bookmakers might require different levels of a minimum deposit once you open an account to claim the free offer amount.

Different Types of Free Bets:

  1. Betting amount matched
  2. Free bet credits
  3. No deposit needed
  4. Fixed amount is added to your first deposit
  5. Fixed amount is added to the bet on the qualifying market, should you win

At WhoScored, our offers are tailored towards football but that doesn’t mean you can’t redeem an offer with operators that have a wider offering. All sportsbooks offer most major sports, including football, golf, horse racing and tennis.

How to Redeem your Free Bets

Click via desktop, table or mobile on your chosen offer and you will be redirected to the bookmaker’s site where you can create your new account. You must follow their sign-up procedure, including providing information to verify your age and identity, to create and validate an account.

How Free Betting sign-up offers work

Here are some key elements to keep in mind when signing up to a bookmaker though a free bet:

  1. A free credit might have an expiration date.
  2. In order to qualify for the promotion, users may need to make a minimum deposit or a minimum stake as their first bet on a single or each-way.
  3. A promotion can apply only to the first bet or could have additional turnover requirements.
  4. Offers are only valid for one use.
  5. Free bet credits cannot be withdrawn from a platform in cash or by a bank transfer.

What to Look for When Choosing Free Bets

It is very important to read the terms and conditions of the offer for a specific bookmaker before you sign-up. Here aew some key questions:

  1. Does the free bet have an expiry date?
  2. Is there a minimum deposit?
  3. What is the staking requirement?
  4. Is there a specific qualifying market for the offer?
  5. When is the free bet available and how can you check it on your account?
  6. Are there any turnover requirements before you can withdraw any winnings?

What are the best free bets for existing users?

So far we’ve talked about new customers, which are generally the most lucrative with bookies looking to encourage new sign ups. Despite of this we see an increasing number of bonus offers for existing customers as players become more loyal to a specific brand. Most bookies now offer loyalty programs, betting clubs or promo deals for existing, regular players.

This is giving you the chance to use free bets for featured matches or every time you deposit a minimum amount. For example, some bookmakers offer you free bets if you place your bets on the recommended accumulator or if you bet a certain amount on a featured match.
