Free bets & offers
Promotions often name the bet type they apply to, such as an acca boost or a free bet on a multiple, so the rules around them interest punters who build such slips. This section reads offers through that lens.
Price boosts and enhanced odds, money-back deals, 2up and best odds guaranteed are covered, as are welcome offers, free bets with and without a deposit, existing-customer offers, matched betting and the meaning of “promo codes”.
From 19 January 2026 the Gambling Commission limits wagering requirements on bonuses to 10x and prohibits promotions linking a bet to a second product type. No evidence settles whether free bets with no wagering condition fall under the limit; the operator’s terms govern.
