Free bets & offers
A free bet is a stake handed over on conditions, and the conditions are the real product. This section reads each type of promotion from the terms outward.
Sign-up offers and no-deposit free bets open the list, followed by enhanced odds, price boosts and money-back deals paid as a free bet. Existing-customer offers, 2up, each-way extras, best odds guaranteed and the technique called matched betting follow, with a note on what a promo code stands for.
From 19 January 2026 a 10x ceiling applies to wagering requirements, and promotions may not push a customer into a second product type. For free bets that carry no wagering condition, it remains unestablished whether the ceiling applies, so the operator’s wording governs.
