Everything You Need to Know About Free Bets

Sticking with our no nonsense approach in this next section we’ll give you a simple run down of the key things you need to know when claiming free bets. These are just the basics though, so for more information jump down to our FAQ section.

Qualifying Deposit & Bet

For almost all offers you'll need to make a real money deposit and then place your first bet. The value of your free bet sometimes varies based on the value of the deposit and initial wager but can sometimes be fixed.

Minimum Odds

For both your first bet and the free bet itself there will normally be a minimum odds requirement. This tends to be between 1/2 and evens. Some bookies also restrict the type of bet that can be placed.

Wagering Requirements

The winnings from your free bet are normally yours to keep, although some bookies place wagering requirements on them before you can withdraw. This tends to be more common with deposit based bonuses.

What’s on in March

Masters Golf – 6th April 2023

The 87th edition of the Masters Tournament will get underway at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia on the 6th April. This will be the first of the four majors in 2023.

Scottie Scheffler won his first Green Jacket last year, three strokes ahead of Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy. Scheffler’s win at August was part of an incredible start to 2022 after winning the Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the WGC Matchplay.

American Scheffler along with Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith and Justin Thomas are among the early favourites for this edition of the Masters Tournament. Since the first Masters way back in 1934, this has grown into one of the biggest annual events of the golf season. Who will don the famous Green Jacket in 2023?

Grand National – 15th April 2023

The annual Grand National at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool is one of the biggest horse races in the world in every sense of the word. With the first contest being run all the way back in 1839, it’s also one of the oldest. The gruelling race is run over a distance of 4 miles and 2 ½ furlongs, with 30 jumps over two laps. Even people who don’t know anything about racing know the Grand National and it is truly an iconic race.

The National is the most valuable jumps contest in Europe, with a prize fund of £1m. Thousands of racing fanatics – and plenty who are there just for the party – make the trip to Liverpool each year, with millions watching at home from around the world.

The Grand National course – which features Becher’s Brook, Canal Turn and The Chair – is the ultimate test for horse and jockey. In 2022, Sam Waley-Cohen became the first amateur jockey to win the race since 1990, riding Noble Yeats to victory in his final race before the rider’s retirement. Who will come home in front in the 2023 Grand National?

World Snooker Championship – 15th April 2023

The famous Crucible Theatre in Sheffield will once again host the World Snooker Championship. The 2023 edition will undoubtedly be another cracking two weeks of action, with the final coming to its climax on the 1st May. This will be the 47th consecutive year that the Crucible has been home to the World Championship and snooker purists hope it stays there for another 47 years at least.

We were treated to a fascinating tournament in 2022, with plenty of thrills and spills along the way. Ronnie O’Sullivan claimed his seventh championship, defeating Judd Trump 18-13 in the final. That win for ‘The Rocket’ drew him level with Stephen Hendry as the most successful players at the Worlds in recent decades.

The World Championship is the most prestigious snooker competition in the world. The first tournament was held in 1927, and it’s grown bigger and better as the years have passed by and it never fails to mesmerise the masses. But who will prevail in 2023?

Bookie FAQ

We’ve covered the key points in our claiming guide earlier in the page. Basically you need to make sure you’re eligible, that you deposit the minimum and follow the instructions given by the bookie. Normally this involves placing a qualifying bet at minimum odds, or turning your deposit over a set number of times.

Sometimes you may also need to use a bonus code but this will clearly be stated on the bookies site and we usually make a note of it in our description.

Once you receive your free bet you can use it however you wish, although many bookmakers place restrictions on the type of bet you can place. Again this will be stated in the terms and conditions of the offer.

Yes. Although they tend to fit into one of the following categories:

  • Free Bets – The simplest of all of the offers are the free bets. Here you’ll receive a free bet in exchange for placing one with your own money. The value of the free bet varies from bookie to bookie and is usually either for a fixed amount, such as bet £10 for £30 in free bets, or matched against your first bet, such as bet £10 for £10 free.
  • Enhanced Odds & Profit Boosts – The opposite of a risk free bet is a profit boost. Here your winnings will be boosted should your first bet win, but you’ll get nothing if it loses. Some bookies with these offers will boost any winnings whilst others dictate a specific bet but with greatly inflated odds – such as 33/1 for Arsenal to beat Fulham.
  • Deposit Bonuses – Unlike the first three types of offer, the deposit bonus is based on your first deposit rather than your first bet. Here you will receive a bonus after betting your deposit a set number of times, although it can normally be split into multiple smaller bets if you like. Once released the bonus can be used to bet as normal, but you’ll most likely need to place a minimum amount of wagers before being able to withdraw it

Generally speaking, yes. All of the offers we list are from bookmakers who are registered with the UK Gambling Commission who enforce strict rules on how the bookies must operate. The only real risk to your funds are if something happens to the bookmaker that caused them to bust. This can happen though, as we saw with Moplay recently so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Whilst bookmakers must legally separate client funds their own operating funds, they aren’t legally required to safeguard funds in the unlikely event that they become insolvent. They are, however, required to publicly state whether or not your funds are protected based on three specific ratings:

  1. Basic – No protection. Funds considered part of the business.
  2. Medium – Arrangements made to ensure that customers funds are returned in the event of insolvency. This could be some kind of insurance policy.
  3. High – Funds are kept in an account considered to be legally separate from the bookmaker and controlled by an independent auditor.

You can read more about how your money is protected on the Gambling Commission website.

No. In fact there are plenty we don’t include in our list. We have decided to only list the offers that are worth claiming so that rather than having to sift through endless promotions from terrible white labels you can get straight to the good stuff.

The value of the offers on this site will vary and some are more punter friendly than others, but generally speaking if it’s on the list we’d be happy to claim it ourselves (and we probably have).

For a larger list that includes many of the offers that we’ve decided against, see our friends at bookiesfreebets.co.uk.

No. We constantly check for new offers and pretty much know everything that’s available. If you represent a bookmaker that has a sign up offer that we haven’t listed then either we don’t think the offer is worth claiming, or we have another issue with the site that means that we’re not willing to recommend it to our readers. We also only list offers from bookmakers who are licensed in the UK. 

Most online bookies will have some form of casino games for you to play, either as a section of side games alongside the sportsbook or as a dedicated casino and games section. Some even offer other products such as poker or bingo.

When other products are available most of the sites will normally have some kind of new customer offer so don’t forget to check the relevant sections of the bookies we’ve listed above. We also run a second site that tracks all kinds of sign up offer, not just for sports – visit bettingsignupoffers.com for more details.

We mentioned white labels briefly earlier. Simply put a white label bookmaker doesn’t operate the site themselves. Instead they outsource the running to another company and put their name on it. This is commonplace for well known companies who way to utilise their brand name in the market but don’t have the expertise to do it themselves. For example, imagine Tesco wanted to set up a bookie called Tesco Bet they may turn to a white label provider to supply the platform and manage the odds.

This is the reason that many betting sites look very similar – it’s because they’re actually the same site but with a different ‘skin’.

The problem that white labels produce is that it causes the barrier to entry to be much lower, meaning anyone with enough start up capital to pay the white label fees – roughly £20,000 – could set up an online bookmaker. And this includes you, your neighbour Steve and even your granny if she wanted to. 

For this reason white labels can often be a bit unreliable and close down as quickly as they opened. And whilst there’s no real risk to your funds – because they’re the responsibility of the underlying platform, not your granny – it is a bit annoying.

White label bookmakers also tend to be quite restrictive when it comes to sign up offers as they don’t have the same kind of budgets that the big boys do. That’s why the free bets tend to come with higher odds, more restrictive terms or bigger wagering requirements.

And that’s why you won’t find too many of them on our site.
