Free bets & offers
A promotion changes the price a punter effectively gets, so its terms matter to anyone weighing predictions against odds.
Enhanced odds and price boosts, money back as a free bet, 2up and best odds guaranteed are the price-based offers; welcome and sign-up deals, free bets with and without a deposit and existing-customer offers are the account-based ones. Matched betting and promo codes are explained as ideas, not as instructions.
The rules of 19 January 2026 cap wagering requirements on bonuses at 10x and prohibit promotions that require betting on two or more product types. Free bets without wagering conditions are not shown to fall under the cap; the operator’s terms govern.
