Free Bet Betting Websites
There are an ever increasing number of betting websites offering free bets and other bonuses to new customers and here we have selected the very best bookmakers on the UK betting circuit. Here you can choose from a great many sign-up offers which are available once you have registered a new account and made an initial deposit and bet.
All of the major betting websites offer a variety of offers, both to new customers and existing ones. These come in a number of different shapes and sizes, by far the most common being the simple ‘free bet’ bonus. These free bet bonuses are an excellent way to get started with any online bookmaker and they are excellent value, the ‘Bet £5 Get £30’ on offer with BetVictor being a typical example, in this instance offering a bonus worth 600% of the required minimum qualifying bet amount.
Quite simply, in order to release a free bet bonus, the customer – once registered – will be invited to make an initial deposit (often £5 or £10) and then make an initial wager of a minimum amount. Once this first bet has been settled (win or lose), the free bet bonus will be released and this will take the form of either a single free bet which will need to be placed as one selection, or multiple free bets amounting to the total offer.
A matched deposit bonus is also offered by many bookmakers and while these aren’t as generous as the simple free bet offer (the maximum bonus generally being 100% of the initial deposit), it does give the punter a chance to claim a larger free bet upon deposit of a large amount. For example a deposit of £10 would release a £10 free bet, whereupon an initial deposit of £50 would release free bets to the value of £50, and so on.
The free bets available from betting websites do have a shelf life, the general rule being that they will need to be used within seven days of them being offered. You cannot simply cash these free bets in, they need to be used to wager on specified betting markets. Clearly you should always read the terms and conditions of each free bet offer before taking advantage of it.
You can take advantage of as many free bets as you wish, however you should bear in mind that once you have registered with a betting website and used the free bet, you cannot claim another sign-up offer from the same provider.
