New customers aged 18 or over in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland are eligible to participate in this promotion by using the promo code VAL225. This offer is available exclusively to individuals who meet these criteria and have not previously registered an account.
To qualify, participants must deposit funds using a Debit Card only, as Apple Pay and other payment methods are excluded from this promotion. Once the deposit is made, customers must place a qualifying bet of up to £20 within seven days of opening their account. It is essential that the bet settles within this same period to remain eligible for the offer.
If the qualifying bet loses, participants will receive a refund of their stake in cash, up to a maximum of £20. This ensures that users can place their initial bet with an added level of security, knowing that they will be reimbursed in the event of a loss.
Refunds will be processed within 72 hours after the qualifying bet has settled. Customers should allow this time for the refund to appear in their account, and any delays beyond this timeframe may require contacting customer support for further assistance.
Participants must ensure that they are using a single account to take part in this promotion. Any individuals found to be using duplicate accounts or multiple accounts to participate will have their free bets and any associated winnings withheld. Betfair strictly enforces this policy to maintain the integrity of the promotion and prevent fraudulent activity.
For Exchange bets, the standard Exchange rules will apply. Customers should familiarize themselves with these regulations before placing bets under this promotion. Additionally, Betfair’s general Terms and Conditions apply to all aspects of this offer.
Betfair offers bonuses to enhance the gaming experience, but the company reserves the right to determine how these bonuses are used before allowing withdrawals. This means that certain wagering conditions may apply to bonuses, and players must meet these requirements before cashing out. If any bonus is issued, it remains valid for seven days from the date of issuance unless otherwise specified in the promotion details. Any unused portion of the bonus after this period will be removed from the customer’s account.
All credited bonuses must be either accepted or declined. Once accepted, the bonus is added to the player's balance and can be used for wagering. Declined bonuses will not be reissued, and customers should ensure they fully understand the terms before making a decision. Additionally, any wagering requirements associated with the bonus take effect immediately upon acceptance. Players must first wager with their deposited funds before using any bonus funds, ensuring that their gameplay remains fair and within the outlined terms.
Betfair actively monitors gameplay to detect and prevent irregular betting patterns. If the company determines that a customer has exploited a promotion to secure guaranteed wins with little or no risk, or has used multiple accounts to take unfair advantage of an offer, action may be taken. In such cases, Betfair reserves the right to close the offending customer’s account, invalidate affected transactions, and withhold any winnings obtained through irregular gameplay.
Irregular play is closely scrutinized, and Betfair has the authority to withhold withdrawals and confiscate winnings if such behavior is detected. Examples of irregular play include placing single bets that exceed 30% of the total value of a bonus and deposit before meeting the wagering requirements. For instance, if a customer deposits £100, accepts a £100 bonus, and places a single bet of £60 before completing the wagering criteria, this would be classified as irregular play.
Another form of irregular activity involves shifting from low-weighted games (25% or less) to high-weighted games (100%) after achieving a significant win. If a player places bets on a game with a lower wagering contribution, wins significantly, and then moves the balance to a game with a higher contribution to quickly clear wagering requirements, this is considered an abuse of the promotion.
Betfair also monitors automated play on slot machines. Engaging in 500 or more auto spins while a bonus is active, or playing a slot consistently for more than two hours during an active bonus period, may be flagged as irregular behavior. These measures are in place to ensure fair play and prevent excessive exploitation of promotional offers.
Additionally, low-risk bets on roulette are restricted under this promotion. Any combination of bets that covers 18 or more (47%) of the 37 unique number spots on a roulette table is considered low-risk and does not count toward wagering requirements. For example, betting on red covers 18 of the 37 possible outcomes, making it ineligible for meeting the necessary wagering conditions.
Betfair maintains these guidelines to ensure fair participation in its promotions and prevent abuse of its bonus offerings. Customers are encouraged to read and understand the terms before engaging in the promotion to avoid any violations that may result in the forfeiture of winnings or account closure.
