Free bet

With a free bet, the sportsbook covers the cost of the player’s stake. Unlike standard wagers, the risk is covered by the betting site. If the selection wins, only the net profit is typically credited, while the free bet amount is not returned. These offers are often tied to specific terms, such as expiry dates, qualifying odds, or restricted markets. Free bets are often part of marketing campaigns aimed at increasing user activity or attracting new account registrations.
