Types of Free Bets
Free bets are initial offers given to new customers of online bookmakers. In exchange for choosing to bet with a particular bookie, you are offered completely free bets. If your selection wins you will win the profit made from that particular bet (but not the stake amount). If your selection loses it will cost you absolutely nothing. For example if you receive a £30 free bet and place it on one of our football tips priced at 3/1 which won, you would receive £90 back but not the free stake of £30.
There are different types of free bet offers that vary from bookmaker to bookmaker. We advise you to check the terms and conditions of each promotion, and fully understand the qualification requirements to receive a free bonus. We will explain the varying offers bookmakers may use.

These are the best free bets available. For a very small initial deposit you will receive a free bet equivalent to up to 400% of your deposited amount. These are great value offers and should be used as soon as they become available.
