Free bets: what is it, and how to get it?

Many bookmakers are actively working to provide their customers with the best betting sites. It allows you to get as many new users as possible, making the game more interesting and exciting. Let’s find out what benefits this brings to the user and how you can get it.

What do we know about free bets?
Many bookmakers allow their customers to make free bets to stimulate their activity. So, for performing some actions, players can bet for free and receive real winnings.

You can only use such bonuses on a new bet, but you cannot withdraw them to your bank card or e-wallet. If you try to do this, you will find only the money you deposited in your account.

Often you can use a free bet on any sport and any competition. However, don’t store them for too long, as they can burn out within a week or a month (depending on the conditions under which you received them).

Each bookmaker provides its customers with different conditions for receiving free bets; let’s look at their most important.

Welcome Bonus
Most bookmakers provide their new customers with the opportunity to get a free bet. Here everyone sets their own rules; for example, BetFred gives new customers a 40 pounds free bonus when replenishing a deposit of 10 pounds and introduces a particular promotional code.

The welcome bonus is the easiest and most common way to get your first free bet. You can spend it on any sport and competition or divide it into several parts.

VIP program
Bookmakers understand that customers who actively bet also want to receive benefits. As a result, they create various programs in which customers receive rewards in the form of points for large or frequent bets, which they can then exchange for free bets or other bonuses. It is a great incentive for players to play even more.

Often, participation in the VIP program is completely free. Many users believe that 888Sport offers the most favorable conditions for the VIP program. Here you do not need to make big bets to receive the bonus.

Various promotions
Bookmakers arrange promotions to encourage players to place bets on days without significant competition. So, they promise small free chances on unpopular destinations.

Help bookmaker
Building a forecast for a game is a rather complicated process that requires a lot of knowledge and a unique flair from a person. When making their forecast, some bookmakers rely on their own specialists and regular users. So, they offer to fill out a short questionnaire, and if the player answers all the questions correctly, they give free bets as a reward.

It is worth saying that such actions are not very common; however, you can get excellent bonuses here.

“Return if”
You can get a free bonus not only for successful bets but also for losses. Some bookmakers give players a partial or full refund for a lost bet as a bonus. However, it can only be done under certain conditions. It is exceptionally well used at the races. So, you can get your money back in full if your horse finishes second. But you will not receive a bonus if it takes 3rd, 4th, or 5th place.

Conclusion
The free bet is the best perk bookmakers could come up with to encourage customers to play more often. It allows you to receive additional income and enjoy the game without risks. It is worth noting that it will not be difficult to get such a bonus in the first stages of cooperation, but it will become more and more difficult in the future.
