But knowing how to get free bets and how to use them can be a little tricky. After all, aren’t there always strings attached when triggering the free bets UK sportsbooks have to offer?
In this guide we’ll tell you everything you need to know about free bets online. You’ll learn how to trigger them, what type of free bets offers there are, what wagering stipulations are all about, and a few free bet tips too.
What are free bets?
Free bets are fairly self explanatory. They are free credits that you can use to place a bet, and potentially win a cash reward. Now, there are various types of free bet across the online sports betting and casino community.
Free bets are one of the most common offerings in online betting. They provide players with a chance at placing a bet without spending their own money. Free bets are normally awarded after fulfilling a certain requirement, like placing a bet with real money. That’s the case with our free bet sign up offer. Simply stake £10 bet or more at odds of 4/5 (1.8) or higher, and you’ll be rewarded with 3x10 Free Bets. Regardless of which free bet offer you are taking, make sure to double-check all terms and conditions to make sure you will definitely qualify to claim your free bet.
Are Free Bets worth it?
Absolutely! Unless you're looking to place 1 bet on a site and never place another, the opportunity to place 4 bets for the price of 1 is definitely worth it. There is no guarantee that you'll win money off the promotion but it gives you an excellent opportunity. You can place four bets and even if three lose, you would still make a profit if the fourth won, utilizing free bets betting offers is an excellent way of adding a method of insurance to your bet. You can qualify for the free bet offer with any deposit method on-site which means your limitations for the offer are minimal.
Free bet stakes are divided into three, so instead of receiving your £30 in a single bet, you'll receive 3x£10 bet credits to place on multiple bets.
Types of free bets
Some Free Bets involve cash, others credit. Here are the main ones you’re likely to encounter…
Free bet credits – A sportsbooks gives you ‘money’ to place a bet, but you can’t withdraw that money as cash. If your bet wins, you’ll probably only receive your winnings as real money.
Free money bet – Less common is a free bet with real money, where a sportsbook pledges to pay back the stake + winnings if you win your free bet.
Free spins – In the casino bonus world this is another form of free bet, where you can freely spin on a slot machine or play other casino games. The winnings from free spins usually require a turnover before you can withdraw the cash, which is called a wagering requirement.
How do free bets work?
There are effectively two types of free bets, no deposit free bets, in which you'll receive a free bet for depositing nothing at all and deposit free bets, which provide you with a reward for placing a bet during a certain period. In this guide we’ll take you through the basics of free bet credits, in which the bookmaker effectively stumps up the cash for your stake. If you win, the sportsbook keeps the stake and you keep the profit.
How they work is fairly simple. First you either need to trigger a free bet offer from the Bet UK promotions page, or get one when you sign up. We might occasionally send you email promos with specific offers too.
Simply click on the free bet button or offer activation button, and your account will be credited with the free bet. To avoid any doubt when placing a bet, you’ll be able to see you free bet being used for your chosen wager when you open the pop-up bet slip.
Remember, with a free bet you generally only win back your profit, not your stake as well. So, if you place a £5 free bet on England to beat Germany at odds of 2.00, you would win £5 profit but the £5 stake would return to the sportsbook.
Here at Bet UK we feature a wide range of free bet offers. Here are some of our latest ones…

All you need to know about claiming your Free Bet
Free Bets often give you the freedom to bet however you want, and in ways that you may not bet with your own money. Will you place a small bet, so you’ll have a better chance of profiting from your free bet? Or will you go for the huge 10-fold accumulator that could see you land a huge sum of money from nothing? The joy of free bets is that you’re awarded flexibility that you might not normally have. Regardless of how you choose to use your free bet, it’s worth remembering that the free bet stake is often not returned. That means that if you bet £10 on Liverpool to win at EVS, your actual return will only be £10.

How to claim free bets

Free betting tips
Now you know a bit more about free bet offers, it’s time to discuss the tips and tricks you can use to get the most from your wagers. Here are just a few bookies free bets tips to take away:
Check your qualifying bet – Most free bet offers require you to make a qualifying bet first. So, make sure you meet that qualifying criteria! The most important thing to note is the size of bet and the odds.
Look up your free bets – Don’t be afraid to look up what free bets you have in your Bet Uk profile, and check out the details of each offer. Then you’ll know exactly what you’re doing when it comes to placing those wagers.
Ensure you’re placing a free bet – Sometimes players forget they need to hit the Free Bet button when placing a wager. It’s worth paying attention at this stage so you don’t make the same mistake!
Don’t waste them – If you have 3x £10 free bets in which you only win back the profit, it’s not worth backing England to beat Iran at odds of 1.10, because you’ll only earn a quid! Likewise, betting on Wrexham to win the FA Cup at odds of 5000.00 is probaby not a smart idea either.
Remember you’re winning profits only – Indeed, potential profit is what you should look out for in the bet slip when you’re placing a free bet. Don’t count the stake, as you won’t get that back even if you win.
Keep an eye out for more – Bet UK is always offering fresh and interesting free bet offers on loads of sporting events throughout the year. So be sure to look back at our promos page for the latest deals.
