This is a sports offer. Expect a qualifying bet with your own money, then free bets whose stake is not returned with winnings. Check the minimum odds, which markets are excluded and how many days you have to use the free bets.
We last checked this offer on 20 October 2026. Operators change offers without notice, so the terms on their own site always apply.
Free bets, and what stake not returned means
Safer gambling
What a GB licence obliges Betfair Sportsbook to give you
- A deposit limit you can set when you open the account, lowered at once whenever you choose; raising it waits out a cooling-off period.
- Time-outs that lock the account for a short spell, from 24 hours up to six weeks.
- Self-exclusion for at least six months, and membership of GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab), the national scheme.
- Age and identity checks before you can deposit or play, including free demos.
- Reality checks and a record of your deposits, withdrawals and play.
- No credit cards: gambling with a credit card is banned in Great Britain.
Set a deposit limit while you open the account, before you claim any offer. More on safer gambling

Where this entry appears
Filed under betting sites, in the welcome offers on the home page and in the side-by-side table, always in alphabetical order. Links to operators are tagged so the operator knows the visit came from us. We may receive a commission from operators in future; a commission never decides which brands we list, the order they appear in or what we write.
