Loyalty Bonus Bets

A loyalty bonus can be offered by a betting site as a way of thanking you for betting with them over a period of time. Think of it as similar to being able to claim a free flight or an upgrade for accumulating air miles – you’re basically being rewarded for having spent a certain amount of time and money with that particular company.

Loyalty bonuses usually come in the form of a free bet or free bets, but from time to time, some betting sites have been known to reward punters by giving them branded merchandise or tickets to a sporting event. We’ve seen punters given VIP hospitality treatment at a big football match, and even free Cheltenham Festival tickets!

Free bets are the most common form of rewarding loyalty. A huge number of punters are always on the lookout for free bets for existing customers, and the bookies are well aware of this. When an existing customer sees a free bet in his or her betting account, there will rarely (if ever!) be a complaint about receiving a freebie!

Should you receive a loyalty bonus in the form of a free bet, be aware that they often come with some kind of wagering requirement that needs to be met before you can withdraw any winnings. They are still a great free bet offer to have; you just need to make sure you read any terms and conditions attached to the offer.

Loyalty is increasingly being rewarded by bookmakers via free bet clubs as well.

Free Bet clubs are used by many betting sites as a way of building customer loyalty, and work by you receiving a free bet (or free bets) in return for placing your usual bets throughout the week.

The terms and conditions vary based on the bookmaker you are betting with, but Free Bet clubs usually work by you opting in and placing a series of bets over a period of time. Providing you meet the terms, you’ll receive a free bet. Most betting sites running free bet clubs allow you to repeat this every week, almost guaranteeing a free bet for existing customers on a weekly basis.

Occasionally, some betting sites will also reward loyalty by giving punters real cash. It is rare, but it can happen, and lucky recipients of such offers can either withdraw this free cash, or use it to place bets without any wagering requirements.

Another type of loyalty bonus you may find from time to time comes for simply verifying your account. We’ve seen some betting sites offer a bet to customers once they have completed what is sometimes referred to as the Know Your Customer procedure. In a nutshell, you are rewarded for fully complying with a betting site and giving them any information that they request in order to fully verify your account.

Some betting sites also hand out free bets to existing customers as a way to lure them back. If a punter has not been active for a period of time, he or she may find themselves receiving a free bet offer via email, sometimes with a free bet promotion code to use, with a bonus available next time he or she logs in to the betting site in question.

It is hard to pick out the top bookmakers for loyalty bonuses, as the criteria that needs to be met in order to trigger a free bet is kept private by each bookie. 

However, on this page we list the best betting sites offering loyalty bonuses for existing customers. The best bookies for loyalty bonuses is constantly updated on this page and you can use our filters to find the betting sites which reward customer loyalty in your country.

Each of our bookmaker reviews also look at the offers available for existing customers.

Free bets are always popular with punters, but if you’re not joining a bookie as a new customer, it can be harder to find offers.

Loyalty bonus bets are a great way for bookmakers to keep existing customers happy, and can be awarded to both sports and casino customers.

When it comes to obtaining loyalty bonuses for betting on sport, some of the best bookies in the business will hand out free bets to selected customers, while loyalty can also be rewarded in the form of sports related merchandise such as a football shirt, or tickets to a top sporting event such as a major football match, a high-profile UFC pay-per-view, or even the Cheltenham Festival which for many punters is the busiest betting week of the entire year!

Our comparison tables show the loyalty bonus offers for sports currently available. Our filters are designed to show you all the various bonus types available in your country and you can quickly use them to find loyalty bonus bets where you live, as well as other types of free bet offers.

Although loyalty bonuses are usually account specific and not made available to all existing customers, should such an offer be made more widely available, they will make it to our bookmaker specials page, which is a great place to find bookie promotions for both new and existing punters. The page is updated daily!

Punters in the United Kingdom are always searching for free bets for existing customers. Some of the top UK betting sites are keen to reward customer loyalty, and often do so in the form of a free bet or bonus of some kind.

Some betting sites in the UK will also reward loyalty in other ways. It could be free tickets to a Premier League football match or a big horse racing event – who wouldn’t want free tickets to the Grand National or even the Cheltenham Festival?

The majority of bookmakers listed on our website offer loyalty bonuses to some degree, and as mentioned up the page, a number of betting sites in the UK run weekly Free Bet Clubs. But it’s hard to find an online betting site that shares details of its loyalty schemes, and the criteria that you need to meet in order to trigger a loyalty bonus is kept private.

However, it’s fair to say that most punters in the UK have access to betting sites who regularly do reward loyalty!
