How I rank the best bonuses
There are certain things to look for when deciding how good a betting bonus actually is.
For example, a £50 free bet is awesome, but if part of it comes with a wagering requirement of 50x the bonus amount then it isn't as great as it first seems.
The key areas to look for when determining if a bonus is right for you are explained in detail below.
- 💰 Bonus amount
The very first thing I do is look at the bonus amount: the amount of free bets the bookmaker is offering. Obviously £60 is a higher amount than a tenner. But this is where the next step comes in…
- 🥩 Stake
How much do you need to stake in order to qualify for the offer? Do you have to stake £20 to get £60? What is the minimum stake? And is there also a maximum stake?
- ⭕ Minimum odds
If one bookie says stake £10 but at odds of 2.0 but another bookie says to stake £20 at odds of 1.2, then which is better?
It might be more beneficial to take the latter IF the rewards (as free bets or bonuses) are both the same. The risk is lower in the second offer and although the stake is higher, you will be more likely to win your initial bet AND claim the rewards.
- 🔏 Initial bet requirements
If you have checked the initial stake and the minimum odds and you are happy, are there any other additional requirements?
For example, does your initial bet have to be on an acca? Additionally, is the welcome bonus mobile only and can you deposit with an eWallet?
- 📖 Bonus requirements
Will the £20 be a single sportsbook-only bet, or be made up of 2 x £10 single sportsbook bets. Do either of these have to be used on an accas? Can they be used on all sports?
Is there a casino bonus included?
And if so, what are the wagering requirements? Are they reasonable and allow you to keep betting to your pocket?
- 📆 Expiry date
Lastly, like trooping around Tesco at 10:55pm looking for those all important red stickers, what is the expiry date? In the same way you might not purchase 5 reduced trifles before you start eating healthily, you would not want to take a sign up offer with heavy wagering or betting requirements over a short period of time which you will be unable to fulfill.
⭐ Bonus of the Month ⭐

Bet UK
- Low minimum odds of 1.5 on your initial stake
- The low minimum odds of 1.3 on your subsequent accas is very fair terms
- Bet UK also have brilliant betting tips and blogs integrated into their website, so you can gain a great understanding of the markets you bet on
- Although the free bets must be used on accas, Bet UK are basically the best in the business for accumulator bonuses
- No wagering requirements for the sport or casino elements of the bonus
Bonus recommendations

Leonardo Di Caprio saying cheers to YOU
Bonuses for Beginners
So you have never used a welcome bonus or placed a bet on sports before (cue Rihanna 'Where have you been'). All you want to do is sign up with a bookmaker and place a single bet on a match.
The best welcome bonuses for beginners are free bets with no wagering requirements.
My top 3 are ranked below, with tips about the best markets to use your free bet bonus on too.
1) Kwiff
Straightforward terms: place a £10 single bet at odds of 1.5 and get a £20 Surprise Bet credited to your account within 48 hours.
You don't need to know anything about sports as the Surprise Bet is chosen by Kwiff. Perfect for complete beginners.
If you want to sign up and continue with Kwiff, they are great for football betting offers and odds.
2) Grosvenor
Double the Odds you really cannot argue with. There are no further requirements as long as your first bet stake is maximum £10.
If you fancy a flutter on an underdog (just the once!) then the Grosvenor welcome bonus is a great choice.
3) Parimatch
The bonus with the lowest initial deposit is always good if you are not a confident sports bettor.
2 x £10 free bets and a slots bonus, which is perfect if you want to try your hand at casino too.
Parimatch is also great for football and horse racing too.
Lazy people offers
A lot of bookies only give you 7 Days Cody, 7 Days... to use the sign-up offer. But what if you need longer? Here are the bookies with the most generous expiry times (longer than the standard 7 days):
Longest expiry times RANKED:
14 Days :BoyleSports, LiveScore Bet, Bettarget, Luckland, Mr Mega
28 Days: Spreadex
30 Days: PaddyPower and Bet365
60 Days: Grosvenor Sport and 888sport
90 Days: SBK
Kwiff: they decide on the bet and when it is (ultimate lazy).
Existing customer bonuses
The main types of existing customer promotions are
- free bet clubs
- acca clubs/reward schemes
Acca clubs are often associated with football betting but they are available on most major sports.
Not going to make yet another long list of bookies, but I have carefully selected my top 3 Acca clubs and think you should all know about them.
Acca reward clubs
1) Bet UK Acca club
Get a £5 free acca every week when you place £20 worth of accas or more at odds of 1.2 every week.
Why I like this club:
You unlock profit boosts every Monday, which can boost your profits up to 50% on accas of 7 legs or more. Everyone qualifies for profit boosts and a free acca if you bet the minimum £20 each week on accas.
2) BoyleSports Acca loyalty
Get a free acca for every 5 accas placed every week.
Why I like this club:
It facilitates the punter to bet on ALL sports (not just football) and the minimum combined odds per acca of 4.0 are very good.
3) 888sport Acca club
Place £20 or more worth of accas in a week for a £5 free bet.
Why I like this club:
You can use the 888 Bet Builder function for certain sports which is ultra-customisable and niche-sport friendly!

1) Bet UK Free Bets Club (yes, they did it again)
Get 2x £3 free bets every week when you stake £15 on horse racing.
Why I like this club:
You do not have to bet on accas or bet a particularly large amount to be in da club. It is a nice reward for frequent all-weather bettors.
2) Betway Free Bet Club
Win £10 every week by staking £25 on an accumulator.
Why I like this club:
Whilst your qualifying bet must be on an accumulator, the free bet reward need not be. You are able to use your reward on any bet you like.
3) Grosvenor Sport Club
Bet £25 or more in one week and receive a £5 free bet the following week.
