Betting promotions

There are a number of different betting promotions available to players ranging from enhanced odds, acca insurance, accumulator bonus, money back, free bet promotions, best odds guaranteed, reload bonus, competition and existing customer bonus

Enhanced odds

For certain marquee events, sites will offer you enhanced odds to bet on events. Generally these are bets on the underdog that will pay out more if they should prevail.

Acca insurance

Acca insurance is for an accumulator where you have 5 or more selections on the listed sports and markets, and if just one of your selections loses, they will refund your stake as a free bet. On some sites it may be more than 5 or less, so check each site to find out they have it and the details.

Accumulator bonus

An accumulator bonus is a bet that increases your winning potential, while also increasing the risk, as you have to win on 2 or more separate wagers placed in conjunction with one another. Otherwise, you win nothing.

Money back

Many sites will offer money back promotions on your first bet if it is not a winner; most commonly you will see this for horse racing. After this first bet, all others will be settled under normal terms.

Free bet promotions

Sites will offer you free bet promotions where if you bet a disclosed amount then you will be given a free bet after the conclusion of your bet (whether you win or lose).

Best odds Guaranteed

For major sporting events or for bets that you make early, many sites will offer you the best odds that become available, no matter when you place them.

Reload Bonus

A reload bonus is one that’s offered to players who have already made a deposit in the past at a site.

Competition

Bookmakers usually offer special opportunities during big events such as the Olympics, Wimbledon, FIFA World Cup and others. The offers can include anything from prize draws to competitions among all players where you can win a prize if you bet a certain amount and end up in first to third place.

Existing customer bonus

Certain sites will offer bonus options for players that have been continually playing with them for an extended period of time. These bonuses could include multiplying your bet, free bet options, etc.

Is the promotion valid for my country?

It is important to check that a betting promotion is valid for your country before playing. Some times, promotions are only available for specific countries given their local nature, e.g. Australian Football matches.

Terms and conditions for the promotion

There are many different terms and conditions on promotions and is important to take note of these beforehand. Some general things to check are:

• Wager requirements
• Validity period
• Sports or events that are covered

For what sports is the promotion valid?

It is always very important to pay attention to which sports promotions will be valid for. Many promotions will be valid when you bet on a particular sport or sporting event, e.g. Wimbledon, Champions League, Premier League, etc., and thus you will need to bet on the same sport to take advantage of the promotion.

Can the promotion be combined with other products such as casino and poker?

You have to closely check the promotions on every sportsbook site to see if they are valid for combining with casino and poker options.

Can I take advantage of both a welcome bonus and a betting promotion?

Always check. A lot of times you will be able to combine a welcome bonus with another betting promotion, though you should always be sure to check first.
