This week’s racing action comes with a safety net that makes backing your selections even more exciting. Place a bet on one of the selected races within 48 hours of the off, and if your horse finishes second, third, or fourth, you won’t walk away empty-handed. Instead, you’ll receive a free bet worth up to £10, giving you another shot at turning your insight into a winner. It’s a simple, rewarding offer designed to soften the blow of those near-misses that are all too familiar in horse racing.
The premise is straightforward. You place a qualifying bet on a selected race, backing a horse to win. If your pick doesn’t quite get its nose in front but still runs well enough to finish second, third, or fourth, the bookmaker will refund your stake as a free bet—up to a maximum of £10. That free bet will be credited to your account within 24 hours of the race being settled, ready for you to use on your next wager.
To get involved, all you need to do is place a qualifying bet on a horse in one of the selected races during the offer period. These races will be confirmed up to 48 hours before they take place, so you’ll know in advance which events are eligible. Once you’ve placed your bet, simply sit back and enjoy the race. If your horse finishes outside the top four, the bet settles as normal. But if it finishes second, third, or fourth, you’ll receive a free bet equal to your stake, capped at £10.
There are a few important points to keep in mind when placing your qualifying bet. The bet must be a single, main-market cash bet on the winner of the selected race. Antepost bets and specials do not qualify, and if you place an each-way bet, only the “win” portion will be considered for the purposes of the offer. The maximum qualifying stake is £10, and at least seven runners must start the race for the promotion to apply. Only your first qualifying bet on each race will count, so it’s worth making sure you’re happy with your selection before placing it.
Once your qualifying bet has been settled and you’ve finished in one of the eligible positions, your free bet will be credited within 24 hours. This free bet is issued in the form of a Free Bet Token, which you’ll need to accept and use within seven days. If it isn’t used within that time frame, it will expire, so it’s worth planning ahead and deciding how you’d like to use it.
The Free Bet Token offers plenty of flexibility, but there are some conditions attached. You can use it on any sportsbook market, either as a single selection or as part of an accumulator, as long as the total stake matches the value of the token. The odds must be 1/100 or greater, giving you a wide range of options across different sports and markets. However, the free bet cannot be used on each-way bets, forecasts, tricast bets, or certain types of multiples, and it cannot be combined with cash stakes or other free bet tokens.
It’s also important to understand how winnings from the free bet work. If your free bet wins, you’ll receive the profit only—the stake itself is not returned. The free bet cannot be withdrawn as cash, used to claim another bonus, or exchanged in any way. These rules are standard for free bets and ensure the offer remains fair and transparent for all participants.
Eligibility is another key consideration. This promotion is open only to registered members who are physically located in the United Kingdom at the time of participation. If your account is subject to any responsible gambling restrictions that prevent you from taking part in promotions, you won’t be eligible for this offer. Likewise, any members who are self-excluded—either before or during the offer period—will not be able to participate or receive a free bet.
There are also situations in which a qualifying bet may not count. Any bets that are cancelled, voided, or cashed out will not qualify for the promotion. Additionally, if restrictions are applied to your account after you’ve placed a qualifying bet, your eligibility to receive the free bet may be affected. In such cases, you can contact customer support to clarify what bonus you would have been entitled to under normal circumstances, subject to applicable rules and regulations.
As with all promotions, participation is subject to the bookmaker’s full terms and conditions. By opting into the offer, you agree to comply with the promotion rules, the general terms and conditions, and the bonus rules at all times. If there is any conflict between these documents, the general terms and conditions take priority, followed by the offer rules and then the bonus rules. The promotion cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, and any serious breach of the rules may result in bets or bonuses being voided, or even account closure.
Ultimately, this offer is all about giving you extra value and peace of mind when backing horses in competitive races. Near-misses are part of the sport, but with this promotion, a strong run that falls just short of victory can still be rewarded. Place your bets wisely, keep an eye on the selected races, and enjoy the knowledge that even if your horse doesn’t win, you may still come away with a free bet and another chance to land a winner.
