We keep these offers bang up to date, so you can always see the very latest deals and promotions right here. But we only feature sign up offers from bookies that we have personally approved. So when you claim one of these offers, you know that the bookie is legit, regulated and will pay out.
Please note that the offers above are welcome bonuses, which means they are one time promotions which are available to new customers only. You can claim them when you sign up for a new account. Here’s how to do it…
So now we’ve shown you which bookies offer the best free bets, let’s take a quick look at how to claim them. The process is pretty much the same for all of the bookmakers on the list. So here are the simple steps you need to follow:
As with any promotional deal, there are always terms and conditions attached. These are usually pretty standard, and will explain what you need to do to get your bonus, when it will be awarded, how long it lasts and how to use it.
For each offer listed above, we’ve included the significant Ts & Cs in line with UK legislation. The full terms will be visible when you visit the relevant bookmaker’s website, after you click the claim button.
You will be able to read them all in full before deciding whether you want to go ahead and open an account, and we’d advise you to spend a couple of minutes doing so. That way you know exactly how the deal works, and there will be no surprises down the line.
Some bookmakers do require a promo code, and others don’t. If a code is required, it will be displayed in the table above. Simply type the code into the relevant box when you’re signing up for your new account. Or better still, copy and paste to make sure you don’t make any typos.
If no promo code is displayed in the table, it means you don’t need one.
It depends on which bookmaker you’ve joined. Normally, your bonus is credited to your account after your first wager is settled. That means if your first wager is on a horse race, your bonus should be credited when the official results are in. If your first wager is on football, it should be after the match finishes.
All of the bookies on the list above offer full customer support via e-mail, phone or live chat. So if you have any questions about your bonus, they’ll be happy to help you out.
Again this depends on the bookmaker. Normally, as soon as you’ve qualified, your freebet token is added to your account automatically. So when you come to place your next wager, the betslip will have the option to use your token as a stake, instead of taking the money from your account balance.
This is an example of how it would look at Betfair. By checking the option that says “Use Available Bonus” you choose to place the bet with your free balance, not with your cash balance. This option would only appear when you have a bonus token available in your account.
For other bookies the wording may differ slightly but the principle is always the same. It is pretty straightforward, but again the bookie’s helpdesk will answer any questions you might have.
There is no limit to the number of bookmakers that you can have an account with. So every bookmaker you have not yet joined means another bonus you can still claim!
Remember it only takes 2 minutes to open an account, so that’s a lot of free cash available for very little effort. Work your way through the list and take advantage of every bonus you can.
All of the bonuses listed above are for new customers only, so you can only claim them once per person. However, some bookmakers have loyalty schemes where existing customers can claim regular free bookie bets. There are also regular betting offers for existing customers available at numerous bookmakers.

All of the above loyalty schemes allow you to claim regular bonuses even after you’ve signed up. This sort of deal is not offered everywhere, and they are well worth taking advantage of. They offer an incredible opportunity to continue to profit from the bookies money, long after the initial welcome bonus has been used. Again, there is no reason why you can’t join them all.
Not all bet offers are the same and so it’s important to understand the different types available so that you know what you’re getting when claiming an offer.
Many bookmakers will offer customers a free bet to the value of their first bet, or a ‘matched bet’. For example, if you signed up to a bookmaker, deposited and bet £10, you would receive a £10 free bet. If you deposited and bet £20, you would receive a £20 free bet. There is usually a limit to the maximum free bet amount you can receive so take this into account when you are placing your qualifying bet.
Many bookmakers run ‘risk-free bet’ promotions, not to be confused with no deposit free bets. These are when you are required to place a bet and if it loses, the bookie will refund your stake as a free bet. Technically, they’re not risk-free as you’re receiving your stake back as a free bet rather than cash. However, usually, they are still a very good offer and worth taking advantage of as they have value.
These are simply ones that must be used or qualified for by using a mobile device. The popularity of online betting using mobile devices has increased in recent years and some bookmakers which to become the leading mobile operators and so push mobile-only offers more than others.
Deposit bonuses are a relatively common type of bookmaker offer but work a little differently. With deposit bonuses, when you open an account and make your first deposit, the bookie will instantly increase the balance of your account by the specified amount. That means you don’t have to place a bet first.
For example, let’s say a bookie was offering a 100% deposit bonus up to £50. You would open your account and make your first deposit. If you chose to deposit £25, the bookie would double your balance to £50. If you deposited £50, they’d double it to £100.
However, you would not simply be able to withdraw that £100 straight away. There would normally be a “turnover requirement.” This means you would need to bet the bonus amount a certain number of times before it (and any profits made from those bets) can be withdrawn.
This is a new type of sign up offer and works very differently to the previous types listed above. Instead of giving you a free bet, the bookmaker offers to double or treble the odds on the first bet you place. Or sometimes it might apply to your first two or even three bets. With double or treble odds, if you win any of these bets, you get two or three times as much profit as you would otherwise have made.
Some bookmakers offer a risk-free bet or bet insurance. Both of these phrases mean the same thing. Quite simply, if your first bet loses they give you your money back. Hence, it’s risk free as you can’t lose your stake.
Usually, this type of offer gives your money back as a free bet. This means you can’t withdraw it, you need to bet it again. Any profits made using that free bet can be withdrawn as usual. Likewise, if your first bet wins, you can withdraw the profits just like with any normal bet.
Whenever a free bet is given by an online bookie, you will usually see something like “free bet stake not included in returns” as part of the Ts and Cs. But what exactly does this mean?
Let’s say you place a £10 bet at odds of 2/1 (3.0 decimal) using your own money. If your bet wins, your return is £30. That’s £20 profit, plus you get your £10 stake back.
However, if you use a £10 free bet token and bet with the bookie’s money, you still get the £20 profit. But usually, you don’t get the £10 free bet stake back as well.
This is a standard term and it’s nothing to worry about. You’ll always get to keep any profit you make with a free bet, just not the stake itself. But since it wasn’t your money in the first place, you’re still doing well out of the deal.
There are hundreds of free bets available for UK customers at a range of online bookmakers. The bookies which we list here on WhichBookie are all licenced by the UK Gambling Commission which gives a better indication that the site is trustworthy. However, there are many other areas which a bookie can be strong or weak in and so please always read our full reviews and do your research before signing up to claim the offers.
There are some bookmakers that offer no deposit free bets. You can claim these without having to make a deposit or place a qualifying bet. There aren’t many of these about and they are usually for relatively small amounts. However, they are still worth claiming as they are essentially a risk-free chance of winning money.
Free bet offers are available on a daily basis across a range of bookmakers but we see an increased number of offers available during major sporting events. Below are some events to keep an eye out for throughout the year when there will be more free bet offers available.
The annual Cheltenham Festival takes place in March and several online bookies are expected to run an increased number of betting offers in the run-up and throughout the festival. Here at WhichBookie, we have put together a comprehensive Cheltenham Festival section which contains information about the festival, betting tips for every race taking place and a list of Cheltenham Free Bets which you can take advantage of.
The Grand National is the biggest and most prestigious horse race in the world, attracting hundreds of millions pounds worth of bets on the single race taking place at Aintree in April. Because so much money is wagered on the race, bookmakers offer a large number of Grand National free bets and betting offers to attract business. We have put together a Grand National section here at WhichBookie which lists all of the latest Grand National betting offers, Grand National betting tips and everything you need to know about the race.
The 2020 Euros take place in the summer of 2021 ! , with England tipped as one of the favourites to win the tournament. Can Southgate’s men do the job this time? Regardless of whether they do or don’t there will be a flurry of betting offers to take advantage of from a number of bookies. Be sure to head back to WhichBookie around the time of the tournament for the best Euro 2020 Free Bets.
The Premier League spans August to May and although it’s not a short-term sporting event, it does attract a number of valuable betting offers. Every week, we see a number of bookmakers offer free bets, price boosts and refunds on Premier League matches and some can be extremely profitable.
Here at WhichBookie, we list the best Premier League free bet offers which are available each week.
