Among the crucial aspects include the number of games offered, customer service offered, payment methods provided, if a mobile platform is provided and much more. However, there is one incentive that most bettors look out for in turn giving an advantage to one sportsbook over the other. The incentive in question is the promotions offered and the bonuses attached to them.
Many promotions are offered depending on the platform. Among the popular promotions a player will come across include;
- Deposit bonus

- Deposit to get – This is another type of promotion where a platform might match your deposit with a free bet. A sportsbook might match up a player’s deposit with the same value free bet. For example, a $10 deposit a player will be awarded a free bet of $10
- Bet to get – A different type of bet where a player will be required to make a bet and have a free bet awarded. The promotion will have a catch such as Bet $10 get $30 free bet
- Risk-free bet – Another type of bet where a player will have a ‘cash-back’ awarded in terms of a free bet if, in an accumulator, one of his/her team loses.

A platform may set a requirement for wagering in a specified period and after meeting the target, a free bet may be awarded in weekly phases or monthly.

With the free bet, there are some factors that a player needs to understand better. The free bets will have various terms and conditions attached to them and the following are some of the terms to expect;
- Eligibility – Free bets will be tailored for different audiences. This means that some may only be tailored for new players which means that the existing players will be limited to receive the free bet
- Promo code – Some free bets must be redeemed with a promo code. A promo code is a combination of words or numbers that will be used to unlock the offer where after opting in or as a player registers on the platform, he/she will have to input the code failure to which he/she will be ineligible
- Limits – As earlier seen, some free bets may be dependent on a deposit being made or a bet been placed which would require a player to understand the maximum bonus to be awarded and the minimum deposit or bet required for eligibility.
- Splitting – Almost all free bets awarded cannot be split in any way or combined with other bets and must stand alone and wagered once.
- Wagering requirements – Sometimes they may be referred to as playthrough requirements or turnover requirements. They vary with different bookmakers and they are simply put down for players not to misuse the free bets. A platform may require that for bettors to redeem the winnings of the free bets, they must wager the bonus, deposit or both a set number of times. For sports, in many cases, bettors may be required to wager 1x
- Odds restrictions – Some bookmakers may set out the minimum odds to wager the free bets failure to which the bet becomes void
- Validity – All the free bets awarded will have a period of validity set to when they can be active. This will also include the period when the wagering requirements must be met. After the validity period is over, all winnings from the free bets or any free bet remaining on the account will be rendered void.
The free bets boast of some advantage including players being able to test the reliability of the platform, placing a completely risk-free bet and generally improving the player’s bankroll as he/she continues to play and make profits. On the flipside, free bets have some disadvantages including tough terms and conditions and most of them are of little value.
