How to get free bets?

Most bookies offer you free bets when you open a new account. It’s a great way to boost your betting balance, just make sure you read the terms and conditions and meet the criteria to claim your free bet. You may have to place several bets to qualify for a free bet and most free bets expire after a short while so make sure you know all the rules.

I’ll keep this page u p to date with the latest free bets from all the top bookies so check back often to claim the latest free bets.

How do free bet offers work?

Most bookie bonuses require you to open a new account, deposit and to place a minimum bet to receive a welcome offer. Be aware that you’ll need to meet some qualifying criteria; minimum bet, number of bets, minimum odds etc.

Restrictions may also apply based on your location / country and your method of deposit. The terms and conditions vary so make sure you’re aware of what is required in order to be awarded your bonus.

Some bookies, such as Bet365, Ladbrokes and Coral will reward loyal customers with free bets or bonuses so make sure you check your account regularly for any notifications.

How to use new customer free bets?

There are usually none or few restrictions on how you can use your free bets. Any winnings from a free bet will not include your stake back, so for example, if you have a £10 free bet and it wins at odds of 2/1 you will earn £20 – not £30.

Do free bets expire?

Yes, free bets will most likely have a expiry date. This is usually a period after you make your first deposit, some after as little as seven days. Check the bookmaker’s T&Cs.

How many free bets can I have?

Bookmakers restrict people to one account per person, so you will be limited to one welcome bonus per bookie. However there are plenty of bookies with which you can open a new account. My Bookie Bonuses page has over £800 of welcome bonuses that you can claim from a range of new and established betting sites.

Which betting sites offer free bets?

Almost EVERY bookmaker will offer you a free bet when you open a new account. Some of the best welcome offers are available at the likes of Bet365, BetVictor, Betfred, William Hill and Ladbrokes.

My page of Bookie Bonuses is always kept up-to-date so make sure you visit to find ALL bookies that are offering free bets, bet credits or welcome bonuses.

Which betting site gives the best free bets?

Best free bets don’t always mean the biggest free bets. For example, a bookie may be offering a £200 welcome bonus, but if you need to jump through too many hoops to claim it it might be more hassle than it’s actually worth. So figure out which bonuses are easiest to claim first.

Among the best, and simplest are Bet365, who offer up to £100 in Bet Credits based simply on depositing and pacing bets up to the value of £100. Other terms apply, which you should check, but their’s is one of the most straight-forward to claim.

Other highly recommended offers include those at BetVictor, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, William Hill and 888Sport.

Do any bookies offer no deposit bonus offers for betting?

No deposit bonuses are more common when you sign-up to a new casino, however, our new partner, LVBet offer a £5 no deposit welcome bonus. Click here for details.

How do I choose where to bet?

There are several factors to consider when choosing where to bet;

• Best Odds – If you’re serious about betting this should be top of your list. The best odds won’t always be available at the same bookmaker every time so it’s important that you have multiple betting accounts in order to make sure you’re ALWAYS getting the best odds.
• Welcome Offers and Bonuses – When starting out, or if you betting balance needs a bit of a boost then you should consider which bookies are offering the best welcome offers. Regular bonuses from bookies can also be important, as well as money-back offers, best odds guaranteed and odds enhancements.
• Reputation and Trust – You need to be able to trust your bookie. High profile brands are often reputable but there are some smaller bookies which have excellent customer service so shop around until you find one you’re happy with.
• Ease of Use – Being able to find and get your bet on quickly is very important. Make sure you can navigate around a bookies site or app easily before signing-up.
• Range of Markets – Not all bookies offer the same markets for certain events, so if for example you like to bet on cards in football matches, make sure your new bookie offers that market. It’s also worth checking out how good their in-play offering is as this is hugely popular with punters.
