Online Free Bets:

Genie’s current free bet partners are listed below.  We’ll have more to come shortly!

Free bets are offered by bookmakers, usually to encourage new account sign-ups.

They are also used frequently to reward loyal customers or as part of a reactivation campaign.

Current Free Bet Offers

Free bets come with some terms and conditions that usually include the following:

• Stakes on free bets are not returned.
  • This means that the punter is usually better advised to spend freebies on an outcome with higher than average odds.
    • Why: Because if you bet on Man Utd to win at 1/2 with your free 20 quid free bet you will only be returned the winnings (10) if they are successful.
• Free bets are excluded from other special offers on the event or market that the punter is betting on.
  • So if there is a cashback special on the event the bookmaker may not return free bets in the event of the cashback clicking.
  • The reason for this is often due to restrictions in the bookmaker’s backend systems that make it an extremely manual process to re-credit free bets.

GENIE SAYS: Punters should love free bets. Because almost all of the bookmakers these days give away free bets as part of sign-up offers Genie says when you see a good sign-up offer take it while it is available. Open as many bookmaker accounts as you can.

GENIE SAYS: Because free bets are not returned when using free bets the free bet is worth approximately 90% of its value in real money (stakes) terms.

Make sure to use our free bets guide to your advantage as we’ll constantly be updating the guide as and when new offers are available.
