Free Bets

What is a free bet and how does it work?

A free bet is usually given to new customers and sometimes existing customers for free to place a bet. They vary with every bookie so it is always worth checking the terms and conditions of the free bet.

Most free bets are given once you deposit and place a bet of a certain amount unless you are lucky enough to get a no deposit free bet. They vary between credits/bonus or real money, mostly the former.
Other terms for free bets would be you have to bet at a certain price or higher. The minimum odds are usually 1/2 or 1.5 and higher. The other main conditions is that you rarely get to keep the stake so if you plays a £10 free bet at 10/1 you will get £100 back not £110 like you would if you had a real money bet.
