Want a Free Bet?

Most sports betting sites offer free bets or betting offers as a promotional tool to bring in new members as it's by far the most successful method of achieving that aim.

New account holders are generally offered the chance to gamble for free for a given amount.

With large free bets there's usually a small catch, i.e. the free bet cash is offered in £25 increments and to qualify for all £200 you'll need to place some bets with your own money.

By offering free bets in this manner bookies are trying to ensure that their new customer stays loyal to them - which can be no bad thing as it offers us the chance to bet for free.

Placing Free Bets

Free bet offers can usually be placed in a single bet or a series of bets and can be used for example to place a free bet on football or the FIFA World Cup.

Online bookies usually require you to place a bet using your own money first for it to activated. On the positive side if you win your free bet you're able to keep your winnings, and, even if you lose, it's not such as bad thing as you won't have lost anything from your own wallet.

Occasionally some of the best online bookies will award free bet offers to regular, valued customers - this is especially so around the time of major sporting events in an attempt to avert customers being tempted by other online bookies offers.

Some free bet offers also require you to enter a promotional code in order to claim them.

These free bet codes or free bet vouchers are usually emailed to you once you've registered a new account and are activated in a bookies bet slip as you place bets.

Over the last few years free bet offers have emerged as one of the most important marketing tools that bookies use to attract new customers and also to keep members happy.

Sites dedicated to offering free betting information have sprung up all over the place but none have been around as long as 'Free Bet Offers' as we've been online since 2006.

We pride ourselves on being able to offer advice on not only the best free bets but also the bookies themselves - check out our online bookie reviews to ensure you're betting at the best.
