Categories of UK Bookmaker Bonuses

There are two broad categories of betting bonuses available at every bookmaker. These UK bookmaker bonuses include the following:

  • Welcome/sign-up/new customer bonus
  • Bonuses for the existing customers

While the welcome bonus is meant for the new players joining a bookmaker, the second category is geared towards maintaining and rewarding a punter for their loyalty.

Forms of Betting Bonuses

Below are the forms of betting bonuses available at online bookmakers:

  • Deposit bonus

A deposit bonus is the most common form of a bonus. The offer requires that you deposit for the first time, and then the bookmaker will give you a bonus based on your deposit amount.

Usually, the bonus is a percentage of your first deposit into the bookmaker.

  • No-deposit bonus

As the name suggests, a no-deposit bonus is awarded freely. You do not have to deposit anything in your account to receive the offer.

However, this is one of the rarest bonuses in betting.

  • Cashback bonus

If you play and lose your stake, some bookmakers will pay you a part of the loss. Mostly, the bonus is also calculated as a percentage.

Many bookmakers pay you a cashback weekly or monthly.

  • Reload bonus

The reload bonus is probably one of the offers aimed at encouraging a punter to deposit into their account. When you deposit, you receive an extra amount offered as a percentage of the deposit you make.

There is a set minimum that you have to meet to receive a reload bonus.

  • Free bets

A free bet is another type of bonus that you will receive from the modern bookie. This bonus is offered as free betting credit that you use to bet.

Note that it is impossible to withdraw a free bet. But, you could withdraw its winnings after meeting the wagering requirements.

  • Odds boost

An odds boost means getting some more than usual winnings due to boosted odds. The offer applies to specific matches that the bookmaker chooses.

Other betting bonuses include accumulators, loyalty, high-roller, refer-a-friend, and risk-free bet bonuses.

Terms and Conditions of Betting Bonuses

Despite the good-looking face of betting bonuses, there is a task to complete behind the curtains, as revealed under every bonus’s terms and conditions.

These terms and conditions touch on different aspects of the bonus, and these include the following:

  • The minimum deposit required to qualify for the bonus
  • The wagering terms of the awarded bonus
  • Number of days within which you should complete the wagering requirements
  • The validity of the awarded bonus
  • Possibility of using the bonus alongside another offer
  • Withdrawal conditions

Simply put, you need to check the terms and conditions of every bonus before you rush to grab it. This way, you will avoid taking offers that might later prove hard to wager.
