Betting Offer Of The Week 👋🏻
Bookies Bonuses has been assessing bonus offers since 2009 and our dedicated team of veterans knows what it takes to deliver a great betting welcome offer!
With wagering requirements and other hidden caveats, it's not always a simple process, so with this in mind, we offer our Betting Offer Of The Week (updated each Monday).
This week, we have picked Midnite, who offer a Bet £10 Get £20 welcome offer to new players.
This week we have Carabao Cup quarter-finals action, including an intriguing contest between Tottenham and Manchester United, the Long Walk Hurdle from Ascot and the big rematch between Usyk and Fury. Throughout the week, the PDC World Darts Championship continues from Alexandra Palace, with ongoing first-round matches.
Betting Offers FAQs
These are the questions we get the most from you guys when it comes to betting offers.
For new customers, free bets are the most common betting offer in the UK and they are the easiest to claim, followed by deposit bonuses.
When you also factor in existing customer bonuses, there are many offers such as money back, acca bonus, and acca insurance.
There are many great betting offers in our list at the moment, both from experienced bookies and also the latest additions in the UK market. Below are some of the best:
Best Betting Offers 2024
- CopyBet - Bet £10 Get £50
- BetUK - Bet £10 Get £30
- Parimatch - Bet £10 Get £30
- Kwiff - Bet £10 Get a £30 surprise bet

- Betway - £30 matched free bet
- Betfred - Bet £10 Get £50
- LiveScore Bet - Bet £10 Get £20
- Unibet - £40 Money Back + £10 Casino
- BritainBet - Bet £25 Get £50
Most, if not all betting sites have offers in some capacity. As far as welcome offers are concerned, it is usually free bets but sometimes a deposit bonus or enhanced odds deal. These offers are also provided for existing customers on some bookmaker sites.
The best betting offers should be high in value first and foremost but also have low minimum odds, a range of eligible markets, lots of payment options, and ideally as few wagering requirements as possible.
Sports betting welcome offers must be used on a betting site's sportsbook. That said, some bookies may include a casino bonus as part of the offer. Most bookmakers have a separate casino bonus, and these are often in the form of a matched first deposit.
Some betting sites offer free bet promotions to existing customers, perhaps as part of a Free Bet Club, as is the case with Betway.
Signup offers are only for new customers, so that is your window to claim free bets initially, but even if you miss that, there may well be further opportunities depending on the betting site.
A no deposit bonus is a bonus handed out without you having to deposit any money. This type of bonus is more common within the online casino business. And also, these offers tend to be heavy with wagering requirements. For more information, go to our no deposit bonus page.
If you encounter problems, please turn directly to the bookmaker in question, they should be able to help you. You can find contact details for each company on our website.
All You Need To Know About UK Betting Offers
There is quite a lot to cover when it comes to betting offers, the various options and how they work.
However, if you want to skip the appetiser and dive straight into the main course, feel free to click here to read about the various types of betting offer available to you when signing up to an online bookmaker.
The Importance Of Finding The Right Offer
The UK gambling industry is saturated with bookmakers all clamouring for your custom, which means picking the right offer isn’t as straightforward as you may think, thanks in part to varying conditions that each betting offer imposes on the player, such as bet type, specific sport and so on.
To state the obvious, deciding what you want from a betting offer before you look will make your task simpler. It’s a good practice to follow, as even the best of them (myself included) have occasionally signed up for a bad offer. So, ask yourself a couple of fundamental questions beforehand:
- Do you want free bets, money back or another offer?
Do you just want the largest bonus?
Are you looking for a specific sports offer?
Are you just looking for the latest offers?
Do you want simple, straightforward terms?
Are you looking for ongoing promotions?
What I look for in a betting offer...
"As a punter, I want to feel valued, so any betting offer I take needs to offer me several things"
- A large bonus amount, split into multiple bets, to maximise my chances of a return.
- Favourable T&Cs: low minimum odds, few market limitations and no wagering requirement.
- The betting site has ongoing customer offers to keep me on board.
Taking The Next Step...
After working out what type of betting offer you want to find, deciding which promotion to go with can still be difficult, but thankfully that's where we come in!
With 15 years in the industry, BookiesBonuses understands what makes a great betting offer, while the dedicated team of betting experts are also punters themselves, meaning we (just like you) are always looking for a great offer to take advantage of!
Over the years, we have refined what we believe to be six important factors into what makes a great betting offer, which we explain in a little more detail below.
How We Rank Betting Offers
Sign-up Bonus
Generally, you will find low deposit, high reward betting offers pushed towards the top of our various lists, however, this doesn't mean they are the best by default, far from it.
If free bets or a matched deposit are high on your agenda, you want it to be a sizeable bonus, with various bookies offering Bet 10 Get 40 and some sites such as Betfred offering an even larger bonus.
Minimum Odds
The lower the odds requirement for your first bet, the better!
We consider the minimum odds terms for the free bet(s) or bonus money and the qualifying bets you place to unlock the bonus funds.
For example, a Bet £10 Get £40 offer is all well and good, but if the initial £10 wager must be placed at odds of 4/1 or greater, it is less appealing than one in which a bet at 1/2 qualifies
Quality Of Site
Our betting experts love a great sign-up offer, but we also care about where we play.
If a bookmaker offers an array of sports, markets, live betting, live streaming, payment methods, and a great betting app, we are far more likely to have them at the top of our ranking lists.
For example, on paper, the Betfair welcome offer might not seem as attractive compared to other betting sites, however, it shines in different areas - including existing customer promotions - that we'd still rather recommend Betfair than many fellow operators, as we value the overall experience.
Eligible Markets
Sports betting offers should be as flexible as possible, allowing you to bet on many sports and markets.
Some restrictions will limit the sports available or require you to bet on an accumulator or bet builder with your free bets. The last thing you want to do is be forced to bet on a horse racing accumulator when you have no interest in racing!
Payment Methods
Bookies are never slow, in coming forward, especially with new payment options, as seen with the explosion in PayPal and Apple Pay options now available for players.
Unfortunately, many payment options are restricted when it comes to claiming the betting offer itself, due to bonus abuses in the past, so debit/bank cards tend to be the norm, whilst PayPal and Apple Pay have also begun to be accepted across many bookies.
Wagering Requirements
Fortunately, UK bookies tend to offer free bet betting offers, so wagering requirements are non-existent, asking you to place the free bet(s) and take your winnings barring the bonus amount.
Deposit bonuses (as seen in online casinos) are a thing of the past when betting, which is a great thing for you and me, as they can be required to be wagered 5x or more, meaning you would have to stake £100 before being able to make a withdrawal on your £20 deposit bonus!
What Types Of Offer Can I Claim?
Don't leave it to chance, find out which betting offer works for you!
All betting offers in the UK revolve around the principle of free bets, but that wasn't always the case.
For a brief time, you could also claim deposit bonuses, which are still popular abroad and used in Casino promotions. However, bookies quickly realised that UK punters didn't want to wager the bonus several times over before being able to claim any winnings, so over time, bookies abandoned this type of promotion in favour of free bet bonuses.
Although a perceived lack of choice is not ideal, the reality is that free bet offers provide better value overall, so operators have found several ingenious ways of offering a free bet offer in different ways. These include:
Each type of betting offer is unique, so, let our resident betting offers experts guide you through each type, detailing the fundamentals of how they work and what they offer, along with a couple of recommended bookies to visit, if that particular betting offer piques your interest.
🆓Free Bets
The first on the list and most popular betting offer in the UK is the Free Bet bonus, sometimes called a "Bet & Get".
This offers a guaranteed amount in free bets when a new player signs up, deposits and bets a set amount, which can vary from £5 to £20 and sometimes more.
With so many of these offers available, BookiesBonuses even has dedicated pages to Bet 10 Get 30, Bet 10 Get 40 and Bet 10 Get 50 betting offers, which can provide up to 400% on your initial amount staked.
🆓Free Bets - Quick Tips!
💰Bet & Get offers guarantee a fixed sum and are the easiest to use!
⛔However, check T&Cs, as limitations apply to minimum odds and markets.
🤑Make sure the bonus offered is worthwhile, no one wants a free £5 bet, when betting £20!
🔢Remember, the lower the minimum odds requirement is, the more chance of a successful bet.
How A Free Bet Offer Works
After registering with a new bookmaker, the player will be asked to place a qualifying bet. Players must adhere to certain terms and conditions which can include, but are not limited to the following:
- Stake a minimum amount as the first bet
- Place the bet at minimum odds (the shorter the better)
Some bookies require you to place the bet on specific markets, such as bet builders or accas, although these are thankfully rare.
But What Do I Get?
Once your qualifying bet has settled, your free bet or bets will be released for use.
Depending on the offer, your free bets may have further stipulations, such as sport, market type and minimum odds requirements, so it is important to check the T&Cs before signing up!

🪢Matched First Bet Offers
Matched first-bet offers have become more prominent across UK bookies, with players earning a free bet matched to the first qualifying stake placed.
Matched bets tend to be as a percentage of the qualifying bet, with a 100% bonus on a £10 bet, rewarding the player with a free £10 bet and so on.
A great example of a matched bet comes from TalkSPORT Bet, which matches your first stake up to £40, although players can stake as little as £20 and still receive a 100% matched bonus.
🪢Matched Bet - Quick Tips
💯Matched bets usually come as a percentage, with 50%, 100% and even 200% bonuses available
⛔T&Cs usually dictate minimum odds and can also dictate markets. Read up before signing up!
💰Remember to maximise the value of the matched bet offer. Betting £5 may only get you £2.50 on a 50% match!
⚠️You may only receive a single free bet. So if multiple free bets are important to you, check the T&Cs beforehand.
How A Matched First Bet Offer Works
Once again, after a new player has registered, they will be required to place a first bet, this is the only stake that will be matched, with the bonus depending on the percentage awarded and the maximum amount you can receive.
Bookies of course love some T&Cs, so below are a few things to be aware of, when looking to claim a Matched Bet offer
- Players must stake an amount between the specified range (Betway is between £5 - £30)
- Place the qualifying bet at minimum odds (the shorter the better)
- The qualifying bet may be required to be placed on specific market(s)
- The free bet may be given in one large amount or split into multiple bets.
But What Do I Get?
Just like a free bet offer, once your qualifying bet has settled, the free bet or bets will be released into your account.
The free bet(s) will also have terms attributed to them, including market types and minimum odds, while free bet stakes will not be returned with winnings. As always check T&Cs on all betting offers.
If you are in the mood to claim a matched bet offer, have a look a handful of recommendations from our team of betting experts below.

🛟Money Back Offers
A money-back betting offer does exactly as it sounds, giving players cash back as a free bet(s) if qualifying bet(s) loses, this can also be known as a "risk-free" bet or "money-back insurance".
This promotion is further complicated, as it can appear in two guises, with money back given if the first bet loses or on losses over a set period.
Betway offers money-back up to £30 if your first acca bet loses. This is a great "insurance policy" for players looking to take on a riskier bet, with the knowledge of gaining a second chance, if it loses.
However, some bookies, such as BetGoodwin offer money back on losses over a specific period (24 hours). Here players can make numerous bets within the qualifying period and receive a percentage of their losing stakes back as free bets. This is usually around 50%, with a maximum amount set by the offer itself.
🛟Money Back - Quick Tips
💵Money back on losses is great for the serious punter, looking to place multiple bets within a specific period
⛔T&Cs once again will dictate the min. stakes, odds and markets. Be sure it works for you!
🚀Money back allows players to place riskier bets but don't shoot for the moon, you will still lose!
🧾Stick to your regular betting patterns to maximise your chances of winning.
How Money Back On Losses Offers Works
Depending on which Money Back offer you claim, dictates how you make a qualifying bet after signing up.
If the money-back offer is on the first bet, you must place a minimum stake, at minimum odds to qualify. At the same time, for a money-back offer on losses in a specific period, players must make a minimum number of bets to qualify (3 or more), at minimum odds. Further T&Cs can include:
- Players must place qualifying bets at minimum stakes and odds
- The qualifying bet may be required to be placed on specific market(s)
- Money back will be paid as a free bet, once the qualifying bet(s) have settled.
- Money back on losses free bets, will be paid at the end of the qualifying period.
But What Do I Get?
Once the qualifying bet has settled or the qualifying period has ended, your free bet(s) will be available in your account.
The free bet(s) will also have terms attributed to them, including market types and minimum odds, while free bet stakes will not be returned with winnings. As always check T&Cs on all betting offers.

📈Enhanced Odds / Price Boosts
Enhanced odds and price boosts, tend to be offered around big sporting events, such as Euro 2024, Cheltenham or major Boxing contests, offering new players a huge increase on short-priced bets.
Usually with these offers, bets are limited to £1 stake, boosted by the 50/1 odds available in the offer. If the bet wins, players get paid at the regular price plus additional free bet tokens.
These tend to be offered in two variations:
- As hugely enhanced odds on an extremely likely outcome, such as a shot on target in a big football match or an odds-on favourite to win the big race.
- Or as price boosts on an individual match-up, with bookies allowing players to select an enhanced price on either competitor/team via the same betting offer.
📈Enhanced Odds - Quick Tips
💷Enhanced odds offers tend to require just a £1 stake, but can include a higher deposit overall.
⛔T&Cs on the offer are strict on these promotions, so make sure it is the correct bonus for you
🕰️The payout of free bets can be instant, but some take 24 hours after bet settlement
⌚These offers are available for a limited time and can be withdrawn by the bookies, so haste is essential!
How Enhanced Odds Offers Work
Enhanced odds betting offers usually have a dedicated landing page, separate from the regular betting offer, so it is important to visit the correct page.
After registering, you stake a specified amount (usually £1) on a particular market as indicated in the offer. This bet will be placed at regular odds and appears in your account history.
Although there are fewer T&Cs for enhanced odds offers, any deviation from them can disqualify your bet.
- The bet must be made at the specified stake and markets as indicated
- The user cannot cash-out the bet
- The initial deposit may be larger than the allowed stake
- Winnings will be paid out at the regular price
- Winnings attributed to the price boost will be paid in free bets.
- But What Do I Get?
Once the qualifying bet has settled and been successful, the player will receive the payout from the regular bet, with the bonus winning from the enhanced odds paid as free bet tokens.
As always, the free bets from this offer will be subject to their specific terms, including minimum odds, markets and time limitations.
Although enhanced odds and price boost betting offers appear at the behest of the bookies themselves, the team at BookiesBonuses recommends keeping tabs on these bookies, for future promotions.

💰Profit Boosts
Profit boosts, like those available at LeoVegas and AK Bets offer extra winnings on a first qualifying bet. These are exceptionally easy to use, with the only requirement being a minimum stake, odds and potentially a specific market or two.
Players can receive anywhere from 50% to 100% boost on winnings, although some limit the maximum amount in cash terms too, with the 100% bonus at Leo Vegas, limited to £100.
Grosvenor offers this boost differently, with a "Double Odds" offer on the first bet placed by new customers. With this bonus, players place a bet and will get paid at double the odds if it wins. Thus a 10/1 winner would be paid at 20/1 and so on.
💰Profit Boosts - Quick Tips
🚨Profit Boosts can apply to specific markets, including singles, multiples and accas.
⛔T&Cs may limit the bet size you can stake and require minimum odds, so read and heed!
🚀Don't chase a big win! A moonshot bet may sound great, but has less chance of coming in!
👀Bonus winnings come as free bets or cash. Check the terms before claiming.
How A Profit Boost Offer Works
After registering with your new bookmaker, place your first bet on the selection you want to be boosted. Remember qualifying requirements need to be met to qualify for the boost. Wait for the result of your bet!
Terms and Conditions are once again strict for profit boost offers, terms can include:
- Minimum stake amount, odds and market limitations can apply.
- The boost will be a percentage of the winning bet.
- The profit boost will have a maximum bonus amount that can be won.
- Qualifying bet cannot be cashed-out.
- Bonus winnings can be applied as free bets or as cash.
But What Do I Get?
If your qualifying bet settles as a winner, the player will receive the boosted winnings in their account, as a cash bonus or free bets depending on the terms of the offer.
In both instances, the free bets/bonus cash must be wagered once again to be eligible for withdrawal. Further wagering requirements on the free bets/funds may include minimum odds and market limitations.

Betting Promotions
In general, the welcome offer is the best offer you will get from an online bookmaker. That said, there are constantly new betting offers and promotions once you're a customer.
Bookmakers offer a plethora of choices between free bet promotions, enhanced odds, accumulator bonuses, and many others. There are also often loyalty programs with great rewards.
Best Betting Promotions
- Enhanced Odds: Get a bigger price on a certain sports betting market
- Acca Insurance: Have your stake refunded if one leg of your multiple lets you down.
- Acca Bonus: Receive extra winnings on accumulators with a large number of selections.
- Money Back: Returned stake if certain circumstances occur, such as your horse coming 2nd.
- Free Bets: Can be offered in numerous ways across many betting sites.
- Best Odds Guaranteed: If a horse goes off at a bigger price, get those higher odds.
Betting sites can also run promotions as a welcome offer, giving punters the opportunity to sign up and claim a different - and sometimes more lucrative - betting offer than the usual welcome bonus.
A common type of betting promotion is enhanced odds, which could be on an upcoming horse race, football match, or boxing fight. Usually, the extra winnings are paid as free bets, but this is still a nice option for potential new customers.
Football betting offers
Football fans have always been spoilt for choice, when it comes to betting offers. A vast majority of larger bookmakers offer sign up offers based around football betting and offer continuous promotions such as money back specials and enhanced odds promos for big games
Existing customers can also take advantage of winnings boosts, acca insurance, and other deals on a regular basis.
Best Football Betting Offers
- Free bets
- Enhanced odds
- Money back
- Acca insurance
- Early payout
- Acca boost
- Deposit bonus
- Free predictor games
While free bets are often a part of betting sign up offers, they are also credited as part of a range of existing customer promotions. Betway, for example, have a Free Bet Club, in which you get a weekly £10 free bet if you wager £25 on multiples.
Enhanced odds promotions can also be welcome offers. Grosvenor offer these price boosts as an alternative to a standard bookie welcome offer, with extra winnings paid in cash. They also, along with many other football betting sites, offer enhanced odds on a selection of games every day.
Money back offers can work in different ways, and could be related to VAR, or red cards, or other circumstances which could affect your bet. Acca insurance is similar to money back, as you get your stake returned - usually in free bets - if one team lets your multiple down.
There are many more football betting offers, and bookmakers are constantly coming up with creative new promotions to try and lure the punters away from other bookies and onto their betting site.
Horse racing betting offers
Horse racing takes place on a daily basis all over the world, and that provides not only copious betting opportunities but also a chance to claim some of the many betting offers that bookmakers provide, particularly around big meetings.
Typically, the classic British bookmakers have the best horse racing betting selection and range of offers, but many new betting sites have also stepped up to the plate in that regard.
Best horse racing betting sites for offers
- Betfair: Free bet promotions
- Ladbrokes: Enhanced odds every day
- Paddy Power: Paddy's Rewards Club
- Coral: Money back specials
- Boylesports: Money back specials & extra places
- Betfred: Excellent welcome offer
- Betway: 'Super Boosts' and Yankee specials
- BetVictor: Best Odds Guaranteed
- Unibet: 'Uniboost' enhanced odds
- Bet365: Each way extra
Racing punters will be no strangers to free bets. They can be given out as part of new customer offers, and also for existing customer promotions. Some racing free bet offers are earned by placing a qualifying bet or series of qualifying bets, whereas others can be credited as part of money back specials.
Coral is an example of a bookie that offers various money back deals within racing. They have offered money back as a free bet if your horse is beaten by a length at certain meetings, or if your horse falls in a jumps race.
Best Odds Guaranteed is offered by most UK bookmakers, but some have more favourable terms than others. The idea of the promotion is to allow bettors to get bigger odds if their horse's price drifts before the race. If you take a price on the morning of the race, and its starting price is greater than the odds you took, then you will be paid at the bigger odds if your bet wins.
The top Best Odds Guaranteed offers include bets that are placed as early in the morning as possible, or even the day before, which is rare. Most Best Odds Guaranteed betting offers only count for UK and Irish racing, but there are exceptions.
Betting Offer Basics
If you have gotten this far, firstly well done, we salute you for reading through our lengthy Betting Offers information, but we also hope that you have decided on which betting offer to claim!
If you are ready to go, we explain how to claim a bonus and how to use your free bets too.
How To Claim A Betting Offer
- Choose Your Betting Offer
With over 145 betting offers from UK bookmakers featured at Bookies Bonuses, there is bound to be something that aligns with what you want from a bookie.
You may prefer a bonus which requires a small deposit, with players able to sign up with Ladbrokes or Coral for just £5. Others may choose a bigger bonus even if it means making a larger initial deposit. That’s where Spreadex’s Bet £10 Get £40 offer comes in handy.
Alternatively, you could claim a welcome bonus that involves getting better odds or a profit boost, as is the case with Grosvenor and LeoVegas.
- Click "Claim And Go To The Site
When you are happy with your choice of betting offer, simply click the ‘Claim’ button and that will take you to a landing page where you can register with that bookie.
There are still some further steps to take after clicking ‘Claim’, so don’t worry, there is still time to change your mind once you get to the betting site.
In some cases, you might need a bonus code in order to get the betting offer you want. If so, we will have that code on our review of the brand.
- Register And Verify Your Account
The registration process is very straightforward, and the same can be said for verification as long as you enter all of the correct personal information.
You will need to provide your name, address, and contact details, plus some form of identification so that you can be verified.
If the betting site is able to verify you electronically, the process is instant. If not, you will be asked to submit documents which can delay the process by a day or two.
- Make A Deposit And Activate Your Bonus
Once you’re signed up, you can go ahead and make your first deposit. Usually, you’ll need to deposit with your debit card in order to claim the welcome bonus.
It is important to pay attention to the terms and conditions with regards to valid payment methods and also what you need to do with your qualifying bet.
Qualifying bets are the wagers that unlock your bonus and they often need to be placed with certain minimum odds, stakes, markets, etc.
The betting site should make this very clear for you, so don’t feel overwhelmed by this, but do reach out to their customer support if you are unsure about anything.
- Receive Your Bonus
With free bet offers, the bet credits are usually paid out when your qualifying bet has settled. This isn't the case with every betting offer, though.
For deposit bonuses, you might get your bonus as soon as you make your deposit but the bonus funds will be subject to wagering requirements.
As with all the other steps, it will all be made clear in the T&Cs.
Using Your Free Bets
- Make Your Selection(s)
To use your free bets, you first need to make a selection and add it to the bet slip.
Players should remember that free bets come with plenty of caveats, so make sure your selection meets the requirements of the free bet. This can include the sport, market type and minimum odds.
Further details are available via the Terms and Conditions of the offer you claimed.
- Apply Your Free Bet
Once your qualifying selection is made and added to the bet slip, you select your free bet to apply as the stake.
On the bet slip select the tick box to "Use Free Bet" and if the bet qualifies, it will be applied to the bet, instead of real cash.
*If the bet does not qualify, the free bet will either not show as an option or show an error message.
- Enjoy Your Winnings!
If your free bet selection is successful, you will receive your winnings minus the free bet stake, this is standard practice across all betting offers.
