New customers free bet offers and bonuses

Welcome to the CheekyPunter.com free bet offers section. We know how attractive betting bonuses are to all punters so we’ve put together this particular section of the website so you can browse the best on offer and find out exactly how to claim them.

You’ll see all the online bookmakers that offer free deals listed down the right hand side of this section with the biggest at the top. Each individual page contains information about the size of the bonus on offer, how to claim the offer and what T&C’s you need to be aware of.

So why would a bookmaker offer you a free bet? Well, there are a couple of main reasons why bookmakers are happy to do this.

Firstly, by aiming their free bet offers at new customers, they can maximise their player base, drawing in new registrations with big offers. Unfortunately the ultra-competitive modern online sports betting industry is focused far more on attracting new business than on providing the best odds or the biggest range of markets.

The second reason is that the free bet offer isn’t quite as generous as you might think. By attaching several terms and conditions to the deal, sportsbooks are able to limit the cost and the risks of offering these deals substantially. Essentially, they are confident that the benefit will out run the costs in the long run and they are happy to let shrewd punters claim these bonuses to gain their business.

There are a number of different ways that people like to use free bonuses and all of them have their merits. Most unseasoned gamblers will treat them as exactly what they are – something for nothing. For this reason they will bet on something with high odds and if it comes in, they will win a lot of money; if it doesn’t then no harm has been done.

Other people like to be a lot more careful with the way that they use their free bet and they will often play the system to ensure that they make a profit. This can be done by backing a result on one site and then laying the same result on a betting exchange site. This means that regardless of the result, they stand to make at least a small profit. In fact, it is possible to continue this betting practice long after you have used up your free bet, just as long as your mathematics is astute!

Getting access to free money is usually a simple task. All you need to do is register with a site offering this type of bet and then deposit enough money to activate the free bet offer, which is usually going to be no more than £50. When you are making the bet, ensure that you have checked the correct boxes – if there are any – to signify that you are using your free bet, otherwise it could be a costly mistake!

There’s no best way to use free bet offers. Some like to gamble it up and some like to play it safe. The choice is yours.
