Free bets & offers
A promotion is judged by what it asks of the customer, which matters when a back-and-lay market is the alternative. This section sorts offers by that test.
Welcome and sign-up offers, free bets with and without a deposit, enhanced odds, price boosts, money back, 2up and best odds guaranteed are covered, with matched betting as a technique built on offers and a note on what promo codes mean.
The Gambling Commission rules of 19 January 2026 set wagering requirements on bonuses at no more than 10x and forbid any promotion that pulls a customer into gambling on a different product type. Free bets carrying no wagering condition may or may not fall under the cap; that is not established, and the operator’s own terms prevail.
