How Free Bets Work
Free bets are promotional betting credits. Their real usefulness depends on the qualifying bet, minimum odds, expiry and whether the free-bet stake is returned with winnings.
Headline value is not cash
A £20 free bet is not the same thing as £20 withdrawable cash. Read the operator terms to understand how winnings and stake are treated.
Check the qualifying action
Many offers require a real-money bet first. Minimum stake and minimum odds can materially affect the cost of unlocking the reward.
Check expiry
Promotional credit often expires. A strong comparison should show the time available to use both the qualifying offer and the reward.

BetDeals can summarise material conditions, but the operator current promotion terms are always decisive.
