Free Bets the Most Common Bonus Type for UK Betting Operators
![Free Bets the Most Common Bonus Type for UK Betting Operators](https://gamblingaffiliatevoice.com/wp-content/uploads/london-ukgc.jpg)
We are spoilt for choice when it comes to the selection of bonus types at UK betting operators. You only have to look at some of the best betting bonus websites such as maxfreebets.co.uk, to see the tremendous selection of different bonus types for British online gamblers.
One of the most common bonus types for betting operators in the United Kingdom is the free bet. You will find this available at many of the leading online bookmakers, such as 888Sport, BetFred, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, BoyleSports, Condor gaming group and BetVictor. Many of the more recent additions to the online sports betting world have also chosen to offer a free bet to new customers, including Interbet, Karamba, RedZoneSports, Sportnation, and RubyBet.
With that in mind, exactly how does a free bet offer work?
Free bets tend to be set at a specific value, such as £10 or £20. in some cases, you can find a free bet offer up to the value of £50, which is a great deal. It is worth noting free bet offers are usually for new customers only but with a huge number of online bookmakers available looking to capitalise on the uncertain future given the events of 2020, you will always find a new one to join that has a free bet offer. In fact, every year we see the introduction of new online sports betting websites.
To claim a free bet at most online bookmakers, you first need to create a new account and add your details. You may even be asked to provide some form of identification to prove you are old enough to have a betting account. Having completed those steps, you must add a valid payment method to your account and make a deposit. Using the funds you have deposited into your account, you can place a bet on a sporting event and it is the act of placing this bet that will usually trigger the free bet.
Depending on the specific details of the free bet offer, you may need to place a bet over specified odds, such as evens. The only reason for this is to prevent people from backing a heavy favourite, winning the bet, and also claiming the free bet. If every bookmaker allowed new members to place a bet on any odds they wish to claim a free bet, they would not be in business long.
So, if you already have a bet in mind that exceeds the odds required to claim the free bet, you will essentially double the amount you have to bet at the bookmaker. However, it is worth keeping in mind you will not be granted the free bet until the original bet has cleared. This is common practice and you will find the same applies to all betting brands.
Once you have completed the easy to follow steps above, you will find the free bet awarded to your account. This will sometimes be in one lump sum or split across a few smaller free bets, such as four £5 free bets, making a total of £20.
