How we choose the best offers
Every offer here is personally tested. We register real accounts, claim each promotion ourselves and work through the wagering before scoring it. Ratings are never influenced by commercial deals — an operator cannot pay to rank higher.
We score across five things: headline value (what it’s worth in real money), qualifying conditions (how easy it is to trigger), wagering (how achievable the playthrough is), terms transparency, and time pressure (how long you get).
Our full bookmaker reviews and casino reviews go deeper on payments, support, app quality and odds. The offer is one part of the picture — the platform behind it matters just as much.
Types of offer explained
- Free Bets
- The most common sports welcome offer. You get a token (typically £10–£30) after settling a qualifying bet. Free bets are stake-not-returned, so only your profit pays out — use them at higher odds for the best return.
- Bonus Bets
- Functionally the same as a free bet — stake not returned, only the profit is yours — but usually released in stages rather than all at once. 7Bet’s welcome offer works this way: £30 arrives as 3 × £10 tokens, each with its own 7-day clock, so you need to come back and use them rather than banking the lot on one bet.
- Deposit Match
- Standard in casino offers. The operator matches a percentage of your first deposit (usually 50–100% up to a ceiling) as bonus funds. These carry wagering of 10x–35x before withdrawal; the lower the multiplier, the better the value.
- Free Spins
- Spins on a named slot, typically at £0.10 each. Counts on this page run from 50 to 136. Winnings usually carry 10x wagering — though low wagering like 36 Vegas’s 2x, or “wagering on winnings only” (Slingo, SpinGenie, Prime Slots), is far more player-friendly.
- Cashback
- A refund of a percentage of net losses over a set period, as cash or free bets. betTOM’s welcome offer works this way — 50% of first-day losses back as a free bet. A safety net rather than upfront value.
- Acca Insurance
- Your stake back if one leg of a qualifying accumulator loses, paid as a free bet. 36 Vegas offers this on 5+ leg accas up to £136 — ideal cover for multiples that so often miss by a single selection.
- Enhanced Odds
- A boosted price on a specific market as a sign-up hook, usually capped at a small stake (£1–£5) and limited to new customers, with the boost paid as free bets.
Understanding wagering requirements
Wagering (or playthrough) is the most important condition on any casino bonus or free bet. It’s how many times you must wager the bonus before it becomes withdrawable cash. A 10x requirement on a £25 bonus means £250 of qualifying bets first.
Low wagering is player-friendly — most casino offers here sit at 10x, and 36 Vegas’s free spins carry just 2x with no max win, which is exceptional. The industry average is 30x–40x. Wagering on winnings only is better still: if your spins return nothing, there’s nothing to wager.
Always check: does only the bonus carry wagering or your deposit too? Which games count (usually slots only)? And how long do you have — a 30-day window is standard; shorter creates pressure. See our wagering guide for the full breakdown.
Read it this way — the same £25 bonus costs you four times as much play to unlock at 40x as it does at 10x. Headline bonus size means very little on its own; the multiplier is what decides whether an offer is worth claiming. Always check which games count and how many days you get.
