What Happened to the bet365 Grand National Each-Way Money Back Offer?
For a few years up to 2022, bet365 ran a groundbreaking Grand National offer where the each-way part of your stake was returned in cash if it lost. It was one of the best offers of the National era – you placed your each-way bet, your horse ran, and even if it only won without placing, the place stake came back to you in full as cash.
That offer has not returned for 2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026. It is unlikely to come back. However, bet365 more than makes up for its absence with a strong set of existing customer promotions that apply to the Grand National, which we cover in full below.
bet365 Grand National Offers 2026
Non-Runner No Bet (NRNB)
bet365 are offering Non-Runner No Bet on the 2026 Grand National. This is particularly valuable for ante-post betting – if you take an early price on a horse now and it does not make the final field, your stake is returned in full. With up to 78 horses entered and only 34 able to run, a significant number of ante-post bets will end up on non-runners. NRNB removes that risk entirely.
This is one of the most important offers bet365 run on the Grand National and is especially worth using if you are taking ante-post prices. We will be covering NRNB in a dedicated article – see our Non-Runner No Bet guide for how it works in detail.
Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG)
If you take a fixed price with bet365 on a Grand National runner and the Starting Price (SP) is bigger when the race goes off, bet365 will pay you at the bigger SP.
Key terms for 2026:
- Bets must be placed from 08:00 UK time on the day of the race to qualify
- Applies to the standard Win and Each Way Fixed Odds market only
- Applies across all UK and Irish racing, including the Grand National
- BOG still counts when a Bet Boost is applied to the Win and Each Way market
- Racing in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong is excluded
BOG is essential for the Grand National. Ante-post favourites frequently drift on the day as the market settles. Locking in your price from 8am with BOG protection means if the SP ends up bigger, you are paid at the better odds automatically.
bet365 Super Boost
bet365 offer enhanced odds on selected runners across UK, Irish and international horse racing via their Super Boost promotion. For major races like the Grand National, Super Boosts appear on individual runners with meaningfully improved prices.
How it works:
- Super Boosts are available on the homepage, Horse Racing section and via individual racecards
- Boosted bets can be placed Win or Each Way as singles or multiples
- Boosted multiples cannot be combined with other non-boosted selections
- Bets placed with a Bet Boost still count for Best Odds Guaranteed
Super Boosts on Grand National runners are typically available in the days leading up to the race and on race day itself. Keep an eye on the bet365 promotions page from Thursday 9 April onwards.
bet365 Price Promise
bet365 guarantee they will not be beaten on price on any horse running in races shown live on ITV Racing.
How it works:
- Place a bet from 10am on the day of the race on the Win and Each Way fixed odds markets for any ITV Racing live race
- bet365 will not be beaten on price by Ladbrokes, William Hill, Paddy Power, Coral, Sky Bet or Boylesports
- Offer applies up to 15 minutes before the scheduled off time for each ITV race
- US racing is excluded
The Grand National is broadcast live on ITV, so Price Promise applies directly to the race. Combined with Best Odds Guaranteed, this means bet365 are offering both pre-race price protection and SP protection simultaneously on the big race.
Six Each-Way Places
For the 2026 Grand National, bet365 are paying out on six places for each-way bets. In a field of up to 34 runners this is a significant advantage – six places at a fraction of the win odds means your each-way bet has a genuine chance of returning even with a midfield finish in such a large and unpredictable field.
Bet Builder on the Grand National
bet365 offer a Bet Builder product for the Grand National, allowing you to combine multiple selections within the race into a single bet. Markets available for Grand National Bet Builders include finishing positions, top five finishes, jockey markets and more. bet365 often offer a 25% boost on your first Bet Builder as an additional incentive.
