Currently Bet365 offer a £100 in Free Bets for all new players. Open an account and place your first qualifying bet. You will then be entitled to a free bet to the same stake up to £25. Internet customers can claim their first free bet by simply filling in Offer Code SNBBN and clicking Validate. Telephone customers can place their free bets in the normal way.

10 betting days after placing your first free bet, you will qualify for your second free bet. To calculate the value of the free bet simply take your largest qualifying stake on an individual bet type from each of the 10 betting days. From the 10 betting day values, the smallest stake will be deemed to be the second free bet value up to a maximum of £25. Further free bets will be available on the same basis 10 days after placing your second free bet and third free bet.

Bet365 offers exensive betting opportunities on a wide range of sports including:

You can bet on an event as per usual, take an ante-post price or even bet whilst the event is going on. That allows you far more flexibility in how you bet. Our advice is to couple a bookmaker/sportsbetting service with a betting exchange so you can shop around for the best price, and also have the ability to hedge a bet with a traditional bookmaker if the bet seems to go the wrong way.

SPECIAL IN-PLAY CONSOLE

Excellent FLASH-based special console for betting on events whilst they are taking place. Extensive weekly diary as well on which events are covered.

Bet365 run various promotions from time to time. It is best to look at their website to find out what special promotions they run in a particular month.

Bet365 does not run a regular loyalty programme.

Excellent software and easy to navigate betting interface. There is no need to download anything as all the odds are available on the website. The Live In-Play facility which allows you to bet during an event is extremely quick to open up as a Java applet.
