With horse racing back, the bookies are chomping at the bit to bring you odds and plenty of odds to go with it.

All the big brands are offering odds on all the meetings, with plenty of enhanced odds and free bets to boot. Brands such as Sky Bet, Bet365 and Paddy Power are offering particularly generous bonuses, with the former giving new customers up to £50 in free bets with the Bet365 bonus codeBAS365!

Paddy Power are giving out daily free bets to spend on a particular race with a £5 free bet when you deposit £5 or more.

Types of Royal Ascot Free Bets 

Bet Through The Card

A bet through the card sign up offer allows you to sign up with a bookmaker, and then gives you a free bet for each race on the card once you place a bet on the first race of the day.

New customers usually have to sign up and bet a specified amount of their own money on either the first race at the meeting. In return punters get free bet stakes to use in all the remaining races at the meeting.

Eg: 888sport usually offer a "Bet £5 Get £5 free bet on every race" promo.

No Deposit Free Bets  

Free Bets with no deposit required are completely free bets that some bettin sites offer for a limited time. These kind of Royal Ascot offers provide a great entry point for betting on new sports or trying an online bookmaker that you are new to.

They are a zero-cost way of getting to grips with a bookie you’ve never used before or a sportsbook you were previously unfamiliar with.

Deposit Bonuses

A deposit bonus (also called matched free bets) is triggered on your first deposit to a new betting site. Betting sites will credit you a bonus based on your first deposit amount. How much that is varies. There will be certain terms. That could be the amount matched, for example a 50% match or 100% match. This would mean that if your first deposit was £100 and you claimed a 100% matched free bet you’d receive £100.

Enhanced Odds Offers

For the biggest races at Royal Ascot some bookies look to attract new customers by offering Enhanced Odds on favourites or well-known horses in big races.

Price Boosts are among the most appreciated Royal Ascot promotions and the reason is obvious.

For instance, you can back a 1/4 favourite at 10/1 with a maximum stake of £5 or £10 and eventual winnings paid in free bets.

No-Lose Offers / Money Back Specials

Many horse racing bookies offer these kind of insurance-based free bets. They allow you to bet on a horse (up to a stated amount). If you win you keep your winnings; if you lose you get your money back.

Extra Each-Way Places

Each way betting is very appreciated by the horse racing punters community. Just like it happens with the Grand National or other races that have big fields, bookies often offer far more places than the standard three places. With each way bets and enhanced places offers you can have a return even if your horse finished 4th, 5th and, in some case, also 6th and 7th.

Existing Customers Offers

Although most of the free bets and promotions are reserved for new customers, horse racing bookies never neglect their existing customers at the biggest meetings.

Extra places for each-way bettors, free bets clubs, or money back if a well-fancied favourite wins when you bet against them, are the typical promos offered to existing customers.

Best Odds Guaranteed

Best odds guaranteed (BOG) is an unmissable promotion that horse racing betting sites offer all year round, even during the fantastic week of Royal Ascot. When you bet with Best Odds Guaranteed bookmakers, they take your bet on a horse and if the starting price of your selection drifts then you will be paid out on the bigger price.

Non Runner No Bet (NRNB)

This is a must have promotion and all the top bookmakers (including new UK betting sites) are offering non runner money back.

This means that you will get a refund if your selection doesn’t run in a race. In that circumstance, if the selection is clearly stated as NRNB then your bet will be classed as void and your stake will be returned as cash.
