Betting Promo Codes & Free Bets

A bookmaker promotion code, also known as a promo code, is a code consisting of either letters or numbers that customers can enter into a promotional box on a betting site to obtain some form of special offer. Generally speaking, a bookmaker promo code is used by bookmakers as an acquisition tool to help attract new customers.

Some bookmakers may prefer to use a different name to ‘promotion code’ for their new customer offers and instead of requiring a promo code, some betting sites use other terms, such as a bonus code, a deposit code, a welcome offer, or a referral code.

The majority of bookmakers have welcome offers for new customers, but not all betting sites require promotion codes when you’re joining. However, it is always sensible to check for a bookmaker promo code to ensure you get their best possible new customer offer.

One example is bet365, who do not always promote a code. However, if you join them using bet365 bonus code NEWBONUS, you are guaranteed to get their best possible new customer offer (note how bet365 use ‘bonus code’, not ‘promotion code’, as part of their registration process for new punters).

FreeTips.com has all the latest information on bookmaker promotion codes. If an offer changes, we’ll tell you about it. If a promo code changes, we’ll tell you about that as well. For those betting sites requiring a promotion code, we’ll also tell you where to enter it when you’re going through the registration process.

As already noted, a bookmaker promotion code is also known as a promo code. Other names betting sites may give to their headline offers include bonus code, voucher code, deposit code or coupon code.

There are variations on what the code specifically means, depending on which bookie you’re looking to join, but simply put, a promo code is a special code which is designed to give you additional bonus funds to bet with when you join a new betting site.

Below we detail the latest promotion codes and offers from the leading betting sites that are currently available this month.

We have strong relationships with the majority of online bookmakers and try to negotiate exclusive offers for our readers. 

Most of the time – if not all of the time – the welcome offers you’ll see here at FreeTips.com are the best you’ll find anywhere on the Internet – including if you went to the bookmaker direct!

Betting sites promo codes are often linked to the various type of welcome offers made available by betting sites as an incentive when you join them. 

Bookmaker welcome offers like the Stake promo code, Betwinner bonus code or Bet365 bonus code can often mean you claiming a certain type of free bet when you register with them.

Matched Deposit Free Bets - A matched deposit free bet usually sees a bookmaker match the amount of your first deposit with a free bet (or bets) up to the same value. Qualifying for such an offer may depend on whether you use a promotion code when registering, so be sure to double check before making your deposit (if a promo code is required, we’ll tell you about it).

Matched Bet Free Bet Offer

Similar to the matched deposit offer, matched free bets typically give you a free bet from a betting site once you have placed your first bet after opening a new account.

Your first bet with this offer is referred to as a ‘qualifying bet’ and may again require a promotion or bonus code. Once your qualifying bet has been placed (and often once that bet has been settled), your free bet will appear in your new account.

Risk-Free Bet

These kinds of bets are quite hard to find these days, but remain popular with sports punters. As a general rule, a risk free bet enables you to place a real money bet knowing that should it lose, you will receive your stake back as a free bet. If the bet wins, you’ll receive your winnings. If the bet loses, you’ll receive the value of your bet (your stake) as a free bet. Again, betting sites may require a promotion code or bonus code when depositing, so be sure to check.

Other bonus types include no deposit free bets (which are rare) and free bet credits. When it comes to claiming free bet credits, terms and conditions may differ slightly from some of the above free bet offers, but the idea behind them is similar. You’ll find free bet credits available at bet365 when you open a new account with them using bet365 bonus code NEWBONUS.
