Best New Customer Betting Offers Unveiled

Plenty of sportsbooks have promotional areas that list all their current offers. The first one to be aware of is always the signup offer, and this can be one of the most generous. We’ve highlighted some of the more common of these below, so you can look out for the options when you’ve found a sportsbook to use.

Free bets when signing up

Yes, this means you get a free bet (and potentially more than one, depending on the terms) when you join the sportsbook. In most cases, you’ll need to make a deposit, at which point you can pick up your free bet under the terms of the offer. Make sure you read those first.

Get your stake back if the first bet you make loses

This is a kind of first bet guarantee. If that first bet wins, you’re good to collect your winnings. However, if it loses, this offer means that you get the value of that bet back as a free bet. Some sites provide you with several bets under the terms, each of a set value. Say, for example, you make a £30 bet and it loses, you might receive three bets back each worth £10. This does depend on the site you use though.

Free spins or casino bonus as a… bonus!

Yes, there are plenty of sportsbooks that also provide players with a casino on the same site. If you fancy signing up for one of those, you can see whether there is a welcome offer that combines the sports and casino elements of the site.

The usual stance is to give you a match bonus or free bet (or several) for the sportsbook, along with some free spins. Alternatively, the casino portion of the deal might involve an amount to play with. For example, deposit £10 as a new member, get £25 in free bets for the sportsbook and £10 to play with at the casino.
