WHAT IS A FREE BET?


A free bet is a type of bookmaker offer which is normally offered to attract new customers, but sometimes also offered to existing customers as a reward for loyalty. Free bets give new users an opportunity to trial a new betting platform out without having to stake a lot of their own money.

Make sure to read the terms and conditions of any free bet offer before signing up.

​

HOW TO GET FREE BET OFFERS

 

The best way to get free bet offers is as a new customer, and you can use Behind The Odds free bet links as a way to compare and contrast the best bets from a number of different bookmakers!

​

When looking at free bets it is helpful to compare so that you get the best value – for instance, picking a Bet £5 Get £30 over a Bet £10 Get £30 – as that means you have to stake less up front to get the same amount of free bets.

​

Once you’ve decided which bookmaker you want to go with, click the link to visit the site. You will arrive on a landing page dedicated to the offer – it is important to take a moment to read the terms and conditions, and to understand what you need to do to get the offer – as there may be a voucher code or other step required.

​

After that you’ll need to register for a new account following the bookmakers form, and provide them information to verify who you are – this is a really important part of keeping people safe when gambling online.
