With so much competition among bookmakers, there’s a constant deluge of promotions available to entice you into opening an account or to remain loyal to those with whom you are already signed up.
The vast majority of top online bookmakers now offer a variety of football betting offers. There are always a wide range of conditions attached to any such promotions, but the best of the free betting sites will keep you in the picture as to all the latest offers and the specifics of any given deal.
Free bets are the most typical offer when it comes to bookie promotions and they come in all shapes and sizes. For example, most bookies will at least match the stake of your first bet upon opening an account, they might give you a full refund on your first losing bet, whatever the result, while some will offer a series of free bets to all new customers which you can use to make bigger bets.
If you’re looking to open a new account, you should be able to get a ‘welcome bonus’ as a new customer. This is a deal whereby the bookmaker will give you a deposit bonus to the value (or a specified percentage) of the stake of your first bet.
No Deposit free bet offers are few and far between, but are definitely worth seeking out if you can find them, as they really are ‘no-lose’ bets without you having to risk a penny of your own money.
Enhanced odds offers are becoming increasingly common and largely consist of a team being offered at a hugely enhanced price for a game in which they might be very short odds. Most are offered on TV games and only appear 24 hours or so before the match.
Money-back offers are often used as compensation for certain markets, such as returning your stake if you bet on a correct score in a game that finishes goalless. Worth considering in any game that looks like it could be tight.
Accumulator bets are hugely popular, but are always difficult to nail. The bookies love punters who back accas as a result, but give you a chance of salvaging something when you are invariably let down by one result by offering ‘acca insurance’, whereby you typically get your stake back (usually in the form of a free bet) if you’ve been let down by one result.
