UK free bet offers explained with current bookmaker promotions

Independent.co's experts have compiled the best free bet offers available on UK betting sites for new and existing customers, using impartial testing of odds requirements, terms and availability and maintaining a daily offers section. Free bets let you place wagers without risking your own money but almost always carry qualifying conditions: a deposit or qualifying stake is typically required, winnings may exclude the free stake, and some products apply wagering requirements.

Recent operator examples include BetMGM and NetBet offering £5 free bet builders tied to Carabao Cup legs when customers place qualifying three-leg bets on Newcastle v Manchester City; Betfred's bet £10 get £5 in-play for the same tie after opt-in and a pre-match £10 bet at 1/2 or greater; William Hill's boosted price on City to score in the first half for bets placed before the 8pm kick-off (max £10); Unibet's bet builder refund of up to £10 in free bets for losing US sports bet builders; and talkSPORT BET's scheme where placing five qualifying football bets can unlock £5 or £10 free bets.

Specific qualifying odds, stake thresholds, expiry periods and crediting windows (for example credits within 24 hours or free bets valid for three to seven days) are set by each bookmaker.
