What Are Free Bets?
Free bets are promotional bonuses that bookmakers give to new customers, usually after a qualifying bet, to use on future bets. The free bet itself can't normally be withdrawn, and the free bet stake isn't returned with your winnings. They let you place a bet without risking your own money, and they come in various forms, from sign-up bonuses to promotions tied to specific events. How they work is broadly the same, with minor differences, as we explain below.
How To Use Free Bets
Whilst the free bets that are found throughout Racing TV are suited to horse racing, free bets can be used across a variety of different sports. Whether you are a fan of horse racing alone or like to place bets across a range of sports, these free bets can usually be adapted across these sports.It is essential to review the terms and conditions of these free bets, as some may only apply to specific sports or competitions. To actually use free bets, users must opt into the offer, which can be done in various ways. Sometimes it is as simple as pressing the opt-in button, and other times it may involve placing bets on various sports. Every betting offer has different requirements, so it is important to understand these requirements.For example, free bets can come with expiry dates, meaning they have to be used within a certain amount of time before they are no longer usable.
How Can You Claim Free Bets?
Free bets are offered as promotions at bookmakers, meaning bettors will usually have to meet requirements to be awarded these offers. For example, sign-up offers are incredibly popular, and they are only available to users who do not already have an account with the bookmaker. Typically, these sign-up offers reward players with free bets or a matched deposit bonus if they make their first deposit using a promo code.There are other ways to receive free bets, with free bet clubs being a popular option on many sportsbook sites. Here, bettors can receive free bets by placing bets throughout a specific period. For example, if players can place bets with a stake that totals £10 throughout the week, they can be awarded with free bets at the end of the week.With numerous promotions available, there are a wide range of ways to claim free bets. By checking the rules of the promotions, you can find out exactly how you can acquire these free bets.
Different Types Of Free Bets
As we have briefly mentioned, not all free bets work in the same way, despite following the same general concept. There are multiple formats or types that these could come in, all of which can cater to different styles of betting. Consequently, we have broken down all the main types of free bets to better explain the slight nuances of each.
Free Bet Credits
Starting things off with free bet credits, these are arguably the most straightforward type of free bets. These are often given to bettors after either signing up to a site or making a deposit. The value of these credits completely depends on the bookmaker and the specific promotion they are running; however, one thing that remains consistent with all of them is that the value of the credits cannot be withdrawn directly, instead having to be used on wagers.
Matched Deposit Bonuses
One type of promotion that frequently provides free bets is matched deposits. These tend to match the amount of a deposit a bettor makes on a site 100% up to a certain amount, with the matched funds being added to users' accounts in the form of free bet offers. For example, if a user deposited £30 into their betting account, a bookmaker running this type of promotion could add an additional £30 in bonus credit.
Risk-Free Bets
As indicated by their name, risk-free bets allow bettors to place a horse racing wager with the reassurance that, if they happen to lose, they could see their stake refunded in the form of free bets equivalent to the original amount. This is not applicable to all horse racing results though, with it sometimes only being limited to select races.
No-Deposit Free Bets
Another free bet bonus that is once again quite self-explanatory, no deposit free bets require no initial deposits or wagers on the bettors' behalf. They are rare among UK-licensed bookmakers, but we do list them on the page when they are live. These tend to be offered as part of a promotion run by a bookmaker if signing up for a site, giving them a chance to check out the site and place a stake without actually adding any funds at the same time.
Bet-Through-the-Card Offers
Frequently run around specific racing events or festivals, bet through the card offers are promotions that allow users to unlock a bundle of free bet offers by meeting certain criteria. For instance, placing a bet on the first race of a major day could unlock additional bonus funds for the remaining races on the same card, something that is ideal if you want to watch horse racing all day for a certain event.
Loyalty-Based Free Bets
Free bets could also be provided through loyalty programmes, which often reward bettors based on their cumulative activity within a certain time frame. Many bookmakers that feature these loyalty-style systems grant additional free bets if a certain amount is wagered in a week.
Betting Offers
Some offers aren't standard free bets, such as money back or zero commission deals. We list these as betting offers, and the terms are stated on each one.
How To Choose a Free Bet Offer
With the list of free betting offers above, you might be wondering how you can choose which ones are best suited to you. One might argue that the bigger the size of the free bet or the number of free bets, the better. But there are a couple of things to think about before choosing your free bets.
How Much Do I Need To Deposit?
Minimum deposits and stakes on this page range from £5 to £50, so decide what you're comfortable staking before you compare the size of the free bets. If you'd prefer to stake less, see Free Bets for a £5 Stake above.
Are There Any Minimum Odds Used?
Almost every offer requires your qualifying bet to be placed at a minimum price, most commonly Evens (1/1), while some accept shorter odds such as 1/2. Our Lowest Minimum Odds section above lists the offers with the shortest requirement.
Will The Free Bet Be Awarded Immediately?
Usually not. Most bookmakers credit free bets only after your qualifying bet has settled, and some pay them out in stages or within a set period afterwards. Check each offer's terms to see when yours will arrive.
What Sports Or Events Are Valid?
You should usually be able to use your free bets on most events, but free bets can be limited to certain markets or bet types, such as Bet Builders or accumulators, and some exclude particular events. For example, BetMGM and Bet UK free bets don't apply to non-UK and Irish horse racing. If you mainly bet on racing, start with Best Free Bets for Horse Racing above.
What Are The Time Restrictions On The Free Bet?
Most free bets expire within 7 days of being credited, some last up to 30 days, and a few expire much sooner, such as PricedUp's, which lasts 24 hours.
These are just some of the queries you should be considering when placing stakes and deposits for free bets, as this can help bettors get the most value out of their free bets.
Sign-Up Bonuses
Sign-up bonuses are another term used to describe free bet offers for new customers. These promotions include standard free bets, as well as other perks such as enhanced odds boosts.
Deposit match bonuses are some of the most frequent types of sign-up bonuses. These match a user's deposit value, providing additional free bets up to a certain percentage and amount.
Frequently referred to as ‘bet and get’ offers, these betting deals require users to place a qualifying bet stake of a certain amount, usually surpassing a minimum odds parameter. After creating an account, users can be rewarded with free bets following the bet being placed or settled.
Existing Customer Offers
Sign-up offers are for new customers only, but many bookmakers also run ongoing promotions for existing customers, from Best Odds Guaranteed on racing to weekly bet clubs. Promotions and terms change regularly, so check the bookmaker’s site for the latest details before you bet. Here’s a selection of some of our favourites:
Offer | Description | Examples of Bookmaker Bonuses |
|---|---|---|
Bet Clubs | Free bets can be awarded for staking a certain value throughout the week. | Sky Bet (Staking £30 weekly can award £5 free bet) Paddy Power (Staking £50 a week can award £10 free bet), Midnite (Offers Bet Club, Acca Club and Bet Builder Club) |

As such, Racing TV provides information designed to help those who want to bet with more informed choices. Racing TV also has commercial partnerships with its bookmaker partners, which enable the site to receive income from customers who open betting accounts on the Racing TV website and through their subsequent betting activities.

Free Bet FAQs
What Happens If You Win A Free Bet?
If you win a free bet, you will often receive the profit from the free bet (e.g. your winnings) but not your original stake. This differs from standard bets, where you typically receive both your winnings and original stakes. Again, it’s important to read the terms and conditions before you place any of your free bets.
Can You Cash Out And Withdraw Your Winnings?
Any potential winnings as a result of placing free bets will usually be credited to your wallet. However, it’s unlikely that you will be able to transfer the initial free bet offer into cash directly. The actual free bet is often supplied as token credits, which are available for customers to bet with but not to withdraw as cash.
Are Free Bets Limited To Horse Racing?
Here at Racing TV, we offer free bets for all sporting betting markets. It’s worth checking the terms and conditions for each bookmaker offer, but it’s likely that there is a wide range of sports you can use your free bets on.
Free Bet Terms And Conditions
Before you sign up with the bookmaker to claim your free bets, you are advised to read all the terms and conditions so you understand exactly how the offer works. There may be a certain deposit limit that triggers the bonus or a minimum price your first bet needs to be at to unlock the free bets. The terms and conditions will explain all of this, helping you to make the most of the free bets on offer.
Do Free Bets Have An Expiration Date?
It’s common for free bet promotions to have expiry dates on them, with many only being valid for a week or sometimes shorter. Always check the terms and conditions to see if there’s an expiry date, ensuring you don’t lose out on your free bet.
What Does ‘Money Back’ Mean In Free Bet Offers?
With ‘Money Back’ offers, bettors are typically awarded either bet credits or cash if their bet is unsuccessful. For example, if you place a money-back bet on a horse and the horse is successful in the bet, you will win the traditional stake. If your horse loses, you will receive a refund, most likely in the form of further horse racing free bet credits.
How Can I Get Free Bets Without Deposits?
Whilst most free bets require players to make some form of deposit, there are a handful of different bonuses which do not require any deposit. Players simply have to have an account with the bookmaker to find the different bonuses they have, whether that be deposit or non-deposit bonuses.
What Does ‘Paid in Free Bets’ Mean?
Some promotions will offer cashback if your bet is unsuccessful. If the offer says you are paid in free bets, then you will receive free bet credits to use at the specific bookmaker instead of cash that you could withdraw.
