Use one of these brand new bookies offers if you have already used the more mainstream betting accounts to get a free bet for today’s horse racing. All of these offers work in the same way and the T&Cs are all available.
The Greatest Show on turf is also one of the biggest sports betting events every single year. This means that bookmakers are usually falling over themselves to try and get punters to use them to bet with and this plays right into our hands. There are always brilliant Cheltenham offers to take advantage of so even if you sign-up just to get the offer of a free bet, it is well worth it.
The best Cheltenham free bets usually arrive the weekend before the start of the Festival so remember to come back and check this page 3 or 4 days before the 2020 Cheltenham Festival and it will be updated with all the best offers including no deposit free bets for Cheltenham and money back specials, promotions or price boosts.
bet365 sign-up offer for Horse Racing
bet365 are always one of our top-rated bookmakers for betting on the Cheltenham Festival and 2022 will be no different. You get a bet £10 get £30 in free bets when you open an account as well as access to all the usual outstanding horse racing offers of bet365 such as live streaming.
As well as these offers that are open to all customers, you will also get the bet £10 get £30 sign-up offer that is perfect for betting on horse racing at Cheltenham.
Horse Racing Free Bets at Betfred
The £50 in free bets will come to you as 5 £10 free bets on different bets.
Betfred also have fantastic promotions for existing customers such as their Lucky 15, 31 and 63 bonus for one winner and daily price boosts with a maximum £100 bet on most of them.
Horse Racing Free Bets at William Hill
During Cheltenham 2020, William Hill were giving new customers four free £10 bets once you signed up and placed a £10 bet. This was a great offer and it meant you were getting £50 worth of bets for the cost of just £10.
At this current time, the offer is bet £10 get £30, which arrives to you as two free £15 bets. So, if you bet £10 on a Cheltenham day 1 tip, you could then use your free bets for a £15 bet on day 2, and a £15 bet on day 3.
More Horse Racing Sign-up Offers
As we get closer to the start of Cheltenham in March, this page will fill up with more and more free bet offers.
Grand National Free Bets
The biggest horse racing event of the year is the Grand National and it is the busiest time for bookies. However, some online bookmakers stop giving out their free bet offer in the days leading up to the Aintree show-piece so it is always important that you open your new betting account and claim your free bets for the Grand National before the offer expires.
One of the best offers that is perfect for people who are new to betting on horse racing is the Coral bet £5 get £20 in free bets because you get your £20 credited as four free £5 bets. This means you could place a £5 bet on four different horses who are running in the Grand National or spread your bets out between the other Aintree races on the Grand National card.
Horse Racing Risk Free Bets
There are two standout offers for betting on horse racing risk-free and they come from Paddy Power and SBK.
Both of these are £20 free bets and if your first bet loses, you get the cost of that be refunded in real cash which you can withdraw to your bank if you wish.
The great thing about a risk-free bet is that you can use them to try out a new bookies and if you don’t like them, you wouldn’t have lost any money you can just go and sign-up to somebody else and get more free bets.
Both of the risk free promotions can be found below and we’d advise giving Paddy Power a go first before using the SBK offer.
How to claim horse racing free bets
Claiming bonuses and promotions from bookmakers is really easy as long as you follow the links on this page and the step by step guides that you will find on the bookmakers landing page. These offers can all be collected on desktop, mobile site or app.

Some T&Cs will be different to others though, for example, some bookmakers might require your first bet to settle before you get the free bets whereas some will give you the free bets straight away.
You can be sure to get the best possible sign-up bonuses for betting on horse racing because it is such a popular sport to bet on and things like the 888Sport bet through the card offer is perfect for sitting in-front of ITV Racing and using your free horse racing betting on the days racing.

Where to bet on horse racing with free bets
Depending on which bookmaker you have used before or not used before will depend on which bookmaker you can claim free bets from.
The list below shows our choice of bookmakers when it comes to betting on horse racing. We have taken into account everything from the sign-up bonus, existing customer promotions, live streaming, best odds guaranteed, and other promotions and this is how we would rank the best bookies to bet on horse racing:
bet365 rank first for all their existing customer offers but if you like to bet on Lucky 15 bets then Betfred are the choice for you. They are the only online bookies to give you treble the odds if one of your horses on your coupon wins.
Free Bet No Deposit Horse Racing
From time to time you will see no deposit free bets become available and these do not normally last for a long time. However, once you have a betting account with some of the biggest horse racing bookmakers, you will see some free bets credited to your account.
Paddy Power are the best bookies for no deposit offers and they regularly put a free £5 bet into existing accounts. This is especially the case around things like the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot. There is nothing better than a no deposit free bet for the Cheltenham Festival!
