Betfair Bonus Review
Like the vast majority of new customer offers from the big bookmakers, Betfair’s welcome promotion offers free bets to punters who place an initial qualifying bet. Betfair’s version of the offer however provides up to £100 worth of free bets when a punter places a number of qualifying bet worth at least £10.
In size alone the Betfair offer puts many other bookmaker bonuses to shame but you need to place a total of 25x £10 qualifying bets to claim the full bonus so it can a) take a long time to get through and b) get quite expensive over the long term for punters.
The initial bets to trigger Betfair’s free bets can be placed on any sportsbook market and need only be placed at odds of 1/5 (1.20) or greater, that’s a definite plus. Most similar offers from other bookmakers make certain markets ineligible for triggering free bets and ask for odds of at least evens (2.00).
It’s a mixed back for this bonus and it really is more well suited to punters who are going to stick around to place multiple bets as opposed to just sign up, claim the bonus and move on. Some will love it and some will hate – personally we think it’s a pretty good deal!

Other Promotions
As well as their welcome promotion for new customers, Betfair also have a handful of ongoing offers and bonuses for all punters.
£5 Risk Free Exchange Bet
Aimed at encouraging their sportsbook punters to check out the Betfair Exchange, customers can opt in to this promotion and receive a £5 risk free first exchange bet.
The promotion is only available to those customers who have never before placed a bet through the Betfair exchange and will refund a bet stake up to a maximum of £5 if a punter’s first exchange bet loses. In order to qualify, the bet must be settled within seven days of its placement and if it is a winning wager, no refund will be supplied.
Best Odds Guaranteed
Sure to please horse and greyhound racing fans alike, Betfair offer best odds guaranteed for all horse races and all greyhound races held in the UK or Ireland.
That means that punter’s bets will always pay out at the longer price out of that at the time they placed their bet and the eventual starting price of their selection. If a punter bets on a horse or dog at 5/1, for instance, and the selection goes off at 10/1, their bet will pay out at 10/1 thanks to best odds guaranteed.
Acca Boost
One for all those fans of accumulators, Betfair’s Acca Boost promotion offers to boost the profit of a customer’s first acca each week by up to 50%. Applying only to bets of three legs or greater, the percentage boost to a bet’s profit depends upon the number of legs the bet has. A successful treble placed as a punter’s first acca of the week will benefit from a 5% boost to its winnings, and an extra 5% is then added to the bonus for each additional leg a successful bet includes. The maximum 50% profits boost is available for a successful acca of ten or more legs. The first acca placed in a calendar week qualifies for the Acca Boost offer and the maximum stake for the offer is capped at £25.
