Sign Up Bonuses: Free Bets v Enhanced Odds
Free bets have been the staple of the betting world for many years, and (almost) every bookmaker on the web will offer you some kind of promotional bet when you sign up with them. This could be a:
Betting Offers
- Matched Bet – where your first bet earns you a free bet token. This could be a straight match such as £25 free when you bet £25, or it could be more generous, offering £20 free when you bet £5.
- Bonus – where your first deposit triggers promo cash to be added to your account. Again this could be a pound-for-pound match, so deposit £200 get £200 free, or something else – such as deposit £100 for £50 free.
- Risk Free Bet – where you get a free bet or bonus your first bet loses. Whilst it sounds like a great invention, this is actually the worst of the three types of offer as you only get it if your qualifying bet loses.
There are also two different ways for bookies to handle the free bet tokens they award – either returning the stake, or not returning the stake:
- Stake Returned (SR): When a bookmaker offers a stake returned bet, the value of the free bet token is included in the winnings. For example, if you place a £25 free bet which wins at evens, you receive £50 (£25 winnings + £25 bet value).
- Stake Not Returned (SNR): These sportsbooks do not return free bet stakes with the winnings. For example, if you place a £25 free bet which wins at evens, you receive £25 (£25 winnings only).
Whilst it may sound complicated, the bookies generally make their offers fairly easy to redeem. But remember to always check the terms and conditions for any bonus you want to claim, and ask customer support if you don’t understand – that’s what they’re there for!
There is also a relatively new type of promotion that has started becoming more and more common over the past year or two. Instead of a bonus or matched bet, bookmakers have started offering special enhanced odds in lieu of their regular promotions.
Normally these enhancements are on heavy favourites (often who are odds-on) which have been significantly boosted to almost unbelievable prices. Many bookies will also dish out a free bet if your bet loses, meaning that either way you walk away with something.
For example, Arsenal playing Stoke at the Emirates may have regular odds of 1/2 (or even less) to win. But for new customers signing up through a special promotion you may be able to get 4/1.
Whilst it does sound a little too good to be true, they can only be claimed by new customers and so the cost of the promotion is worth it to the betting site to get you on their books and hopefully earn your business for many years to come. You’ll also find that the maximum stake will be limited to £5 or £10. Or for the really generous offers, £1.
The Birth of the Enhanced Odds Offer: 2/1 For Brazil to Wear Yellow at the 2014 World Cup
The idea of an enhanced odds offer – one beyond the normal price boosts – can probably be attributed to Coral. We can’t say for sure if they were the first to run this kind of promotion, but they were certainly the first to do it with any kind of significant success.
In 2014 they offered new customers 2/1 for Brazil to wear yellow against Croatia for the opening game of the World Cup. The maximum bet was £10 and for all intents and purposes it looked like free money. Brazil, after all, play home games in yellow and the first match was at home.
The offer was so good that many thought it could be a scam and the stunt nearly back fired on them. In an interview on the BBC program ‘Britain at the Bookies‘ a representative from the Coral promotions team admitted that there were rumours that Brazil actually wouldn’t play in yellow, which would have been a PR disaster. Thankfully they came out in their normal home kit and the bet was paid out as planned.
These alternative welcome bonuses have become incredibly common and many of the major bookmakers offer them on a regular basis. We hand select the best ones and include them in our offers list found at the top of the page. Enhanced odds are shown in the list only when available – they are usually only offered in the day or two leading up to a big match or event, so if none are listed check back at a later date. As a general rule of thumb we always have something by Friday for weekend games and Tuesday for mid-week.
Free Bets For Existing Customers
Most of the offers listed on this page so far (ok, all of them) have been for new customers only. These types of promotions, known as sign up offers or welcome bonuses, are great when you don’t have an account with the bookie, but what if you’re already a customer?
Thankfully there are a number of bookies who offer free bets to their existing customers, which you can find details of below. Some of these promotions are ongoing loyalty programs and can be claimed every week/month, whilst others are one-off and limited to specific events.

We offer a number of betting guides to help you find the best betting site for your style of betting, including:
Why Bet Online?
The old days of trapsing down to the local bookies in the rain on a saturday morning are long gone, and now more and more punters are choosing to bet from the comfort of their own homes (or even the pub!). Here are just a couple of reasons why betting online beats standing next to the sweaty guy in the dirty mac who doesn’t have any teeth:
- Free Bets – All of a sudden you have choice, and you’re not just going to settle for the nearest bookie any more. So they have to compete for your business, which is done with free bets. Most of the time these are given as a matched bet so if you deposit and bet £25, you receive a second £25 for free. Some betting sites (OK, one) are so confident (cocky?) in the service they offer that they give away a no deposit free bet.
- Betting Promotions – As well as free bets, any bookie worth their salt also offers ongoing and event specific promotions. These vary by site and by event but include things like free bets, money back specials, enhanced odds, treble payouts and accumulator bonuses.
- More Choice – We’ve touched on this slightly already, but there are way more bookies online than on the high street. Some big brands ave even been getting involved, such as Sky (yes, the TV people).
- You Can Still Watch Live Racing – We asked a few people and the reason they gave for visiting a traditional bookmakers was to watch the races. Did you know that these races are all available to stream online? To access them you’ll need to a computer that was built this century, a betting site that offers the races and a 50p bet on the race.
- No More Mistakes – The bets are placed by clicking boxes and not scribbling names and numbers down on a bit of grubby paper. So there’s no more arguing with Mable behind the counter over a mistake on a betting slip.
- Betting Exchanges – Something that you’ll never come across on the high street is a betting exchange such as Betfair or Betdaq. These sites match you up with punters who want to bet against you meaning that you can bet on an event not happening (such as Liverpool not winning the champions league) – this is known as a ‘laying’ (rather than backing). Another benefit of an exchange is that it often offers better odds than traditional bookmakers, although the flip side of this is that the free bets and promotions tend to be a bit thinner on the ground.
At BettingOffers.org.uk, we showcase the latest betting offers from leading UK online betting sites and bookmakers. And unlike most betting guides, we list all offers – not just the ones for new customers.
Below you’ll find a list of the best free bets currently available – these are introductory offers that can only be claimed when signing up (hence ‘sign up bonus’ or SUB). If you don’t have accounts with the bookmakers and betting sites in the table, we strongly recommend getting one as they are not only some of the best bookies on the web, but they also offer a large majority of the cashback offers that we list elsewhere on the site.

New Betting Sites For 2020
Below you’ll find details of the latest betting sites and online bookmakers to launch, or open their doors to the UK market. Just like the rest of the site we’ve carefully vetted each and every site before adding them so even though they’re new, they still come with our stamp of approval.
Sport Nation represent one of the best new betting sites that we've seen in a long time. They are well funded and run on SB Tech which is packed full of features and markets and the same platform that sites like 10bet use.

In this next section we’ll cover the more common types of offer that a lot of bookmakers tend to offer. That doesn’t mean that they’re all the same though, as you’ll find that variation in the terms can make a big difference to the value of an offer. For each promotion we’ve written a guide comparing the betting sites that offer it, explaining how it works and how to make the most of it.
- Accumulator Insurance – A very popular promotion that’s offered by many bookmakers, yet varies wildly from site to site. The basic premise involves getting your money back (usually as a free bet) if only one leg of your accumulator loses. However, what you can bet on, and how many legs you need to place is different at pretty much every bookie. Some offer it on BTTS accas with 4 or more legs, whilst others will let you bet on any market in any sport, but require at least 6 legs. So which offer you go for is going to depend on what you want to bet on.
- Accumulator Bonuses – Alternatively, if you’d favour a bonus on your winning accas over insurance on your losing ones, then go for an accumulator bonus. These payout an extra bonus of between 5% and 100% on your winning bets, with the actual percentage depending on the number of legs.
- Loyalty Offers & Free Bets – On this website we feature many money back specials and other offers that can be claimed by existing customers at a bookie, but this section looks specifically at bonuses, rewards and free bets that are available to all customers. Included in this guide are reload bonuses, loyalty programs and even who’s more likely to dish out free bets.
- Best Odds Guaranteed – A simple promotion, but one that can make a big difference to your winnings. This offer normally applies to horse racing and/or greyhoud racing and guarantees to give you the better odds out of the SP and the price you took. So if the odds drift, you’ll still get paid the bigger price, and if they shorten, you get the longer odds you originally took.
- Price Promise – Price promises are most common in horse racing, but sometimes happen in football and other sports as well. Put simply, the bookmaker guarantees to offer the best odds when compared to other bookmakers. And if they don’t, they’ll match it. Put simply, a price promise means you don’t need to go hunting for the best odds, as you’re guaranteed to have them.
Bookmaker Reviews
For most of the bookmakers listed on our website we’ve also written detailed reviews. You can find a list of these below, sorted alphabetically. If you’re looking for a quicker read, we’ve also written summaries of our top 10 recommendations on our betting sites page.
About This Site
Pretty much all of the big UK bookmakers offer money back specials and promotions for the big sports betting events, and the bigger the event, the bigger the offers. But keeping track of these offers can be a nightmare – especially when you consider that bookies tend to release their promotions at the last minute.
So that’s where we come in. At Betting Offers we list the best offers from trusted and reliable bookmakers (you’ll probably recognise a large chunk of the betting sites we feature) all of which are neatly categorised by sport and removed from our listings as soon as they’re no longer available.
On all of our list pages we sort the offers according to the date the promotion expires – so a cash back special for tonights game will appear higher on the list than an offer for tomorrows game. However, some bookmakers run ongoing promotions that are valid for multiple games – because these either have a longer validity period (or no expiry date at all) they will appear towards the end of the lists. So it’s a good idea to have a scroll through to make sure that you don’t miss out on an offer that you might otherwise be interested in.
Betting Offers Explained
Just in case you’re scratching your head wondering what we’re going on about, we figured it’s probably worth giving you a quick run down on the different types of promotion you’ll find on this website:
Introductory Free Bets/Bonuses
The first is for sign-up offers and welcome bonuses – to claim these you will need to be a new customer at the site. These promotions are usually in the form of a completely free bet, matched bet or deposit bonus. These bonuses are great for general betting and there are plenty of them – you can either browse our list at the top of the page to see our favourites, or for a longer list, head on over to the free bets page.
Retention Offers
The second type of offers are open to everyone – including both new customers and existing customers. Some of these offers such as have been running for a long time, whilst others relate to a specific event and end very quickly. This second category of promotion is incredibly varied and consists of:
- Cashback/Money Back Specials: Here you receive your money back if something specific happens. For example you might get your money back on a correct score bet if a red card is shown at any point during the game, or if your horse loses by less than a length.
- Reload Bonuses: Top up your account with the bookie and they might give you some bonuses to bet with. For example, get a bonus worth 50% of your next deposit.
- Product Incentives: Sometimes a bookmaker will offer up some free bets or bonuses to try out a new product or market.
- Enhanced Payouts: This is where your bet will be paid out at higher odds than normal. For example, you could get paid out at triple odds if you place a Lucky 15 bet and only get one winner correct.
- Free Bets: Last up are free bets which are making an appearance here as well as in the introductory section. Sometimes bookies will give out free bets if something specific happens such as correctly picking the winner of a featured horse race with odds over a set threshold (eg: 4/1).
There are, of course, other kinds of offer and the bookies are very good at coming up with new and unique ideas to keep their punters happy. So take a browse of the latest offerings in the feed above and see what takes your fancy!
