Free bets & offers
Promotions are the most visible difference between bookmakers on the surface and the least reliable guide to quality underneath. This section puts them in their place.
Sign-up deals, existing-customer offers and free bets, deposit required or not, are the common forms. The pricing-based kind covers price boosts, enhanced odds, money back, 2up, each-way specials and best odds guaranteed, while matched betting and “promo codes” are explained as ideas.
Since 19 January 2026 Gambling Commission rules hold wagering requirements to 10x, and a promotion may no longer push a customer towards a second product type. Whether free bets without any wagering condition fall under the cap is not established, so the operator’s own terms decide.
