What is a Free Bet?

Free bets are given out by bookmakers to encourage loyalty and entice a punter’s custom. The most common promotions are new customer offers and money-back specials on specific races. These betting offers are predominantly a benefit of betting online through mobile, desktop and tablet, as opposed to in betting shops. It is important to note that winnings from a free bet will not include the stake. For example, if you place a £10 free bet on a 3/1 selection, you would stand to win £30 rather than £40.

New Customer Offers

Most bookmakers will advertise an attractive sign-up bonus which offers customers free bets as a reward for opening a new betting account. Free bets are usually credited to the punter’s account after an initial sum has been deposited or a first bet has been placed. The free bet will often match the stake of the first bet with the bookmaker, although this is not always the case and depends on the terms and conditions of each free bet. Free bets can be used in a number of ways. Click Here to see featured Racing Post Free Bets.

Existing Customer Offers

Once the punter has signed up to a bookmaker, they are no longer eligible to receive new customer betting offers again. However, most major bookmakers have special betting offers which any customer can qualify for. These bets require you to place a minimum or maximum bet stake in order to qualify for the free bets, providing the required outcome occurs. ‘Money back as a free bet if your horse finishes 2nd by a head or less’ and ‘Money back special if your horse finishes 2nd to the SP favourite’ are two of the most common offers. Prestigious race meetings such as Royal Ascot and the Cheltenham Festival are a great time to grab a free bet. Bookmakers frequently promote betting offers during these meetings.

BDO statement on Ukraine

The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine continues to dominate our thoughts and actions.

Our priority continues to be the safety of our colleagues and their families in Ukraine. Our focus is providing financial assistance, transportation, accommodation, safe passage, where possible, and ongoing employment for when they’re ready. BDO firms across the world have come together to support our colleagues and find solutions to help mitigate the immediate humanitarian crisis that is engulfing the region. Our focus on carefully coordinated support for our people needs to be backed up by carefully considered policy: No BDO firm will work with any sanctioned Russian and Belarussian entities including the Russian and Belarussian Government, Russian and Belarussian state-owned enterprises and sanctioned individuals as a consequence of the ongoing situation in Ukraine. BDO does not have a network firm in Russia. The former Russian member firm operates entirely independently under the name of Unicon. BDO is removing BDO Belarus from its global network. We will work to support our clients in fulfilling our legal obligations and commitments. These changes are effective immediately. Implementation may take longer as we need to ensure an orderly transition. We will discharge our professional responsibilities and obligations to all relevant parties.

That continues to be our position and we hope that the loss of life and livelihood soon ceases and that all parties come together to establish an enduring peace.
