The Biggest Champions Day Free Bets

The two biggest are Betfred’s Bet £10 Get £50, and Betsuna’s Bet £10 Get £50, so a £10 stake at either returns the most in free bets.

Claim them all, and there’s up to £260 in free bets for the day.

Swifty Sports — Bet £10, Get £10 Back if It Loses

If it wins, you keep the returns. The free bet is a matched £10, valid for 7 days. Treat it as a safety net on one selection rather than a reason to stake more than you’d planned.

Claim Swifty Sports » 18+. New customers only. Min deposit and stake £10. Min odds 1/1. Single selection only. £10 free bet on first settlement if it loses. 7-day expiry. GambleAware.org.
