Freebet – one of the types of incentives that a bookmaker's office provides to its users: new – to attract attention, already registered – to retain them. How to get a freebet at the bookmaker, we will understand in this article.
Unlike a cash bonus, a freebet is a virtual amount used to place a bet. The risk of burning it is zero: if the player loses nothing, if the bet turns out to be successful, he will take the profit for himself (the bonus is canceled).
How it works: for example, a bookmaker company gave a player a bonus of 100 USD (and can go up to 1000 USD). He made a bet with odds of 1.7. That turned out to be successful, the gambler's winnings amounted to 170 USD. So, the net profit, which can be subsequently withdrawn – 70 USD (winnings minus the amount of the freebet).
The principle of accrual of this type of encouragement is not always the same. Let's consider what bookmakers give freebets for and how they can be used.
Welcome-bonus (welcome bonus), which can be received without any additional requirements from the bookmaker. The only condition is that you can use such a freebet only for placing a bet in the bookmaker's office. This type of incentive is more and more rare, because bookmakers do not get from it an obvious benefit. Therefore, today in most cases a new client of a bookmaker is required to make a deposit in most cases.
If, registering on the site of the bookmaker's office, the player is ready to make a deposit – to replenish the account, it means that his intentions are serious. In this case, the size of the freebet, as a rule, is equal to the amount of the deposit itself: make 500 USD – get a gift from the bookmaker in the same amount, and sometimes in double.
This bonus differs from the previous variant in that the freebet is given to the player only after he makes a bet in the bookmaker's office. The size of the bonus will be equal to the amount of the bet.
Promotions in bookmaker's offices are held very often. Their conditions are different, as well as bonuses, which are provided within their framework. For example:
Information about current promotions, how to get a freebet for participation in them and what you need for this, you can find out on the website of the bookmaker's office or in social networks where it is present.
Unlike promotions, contests are held outside the gaming site – in social networks, links to which are placed on the official resource of the bookmaker. The rules in such contests are simple, for example, to guess the outcome of the match. A lot of contests are held for major sporting events, in particular, the World Cup. For example, at the end of each week of the championship the bookmaker can offer the ten best participants of the contest bonuses from 5 to 100 USD.
The size of such a bonus directly depends on the player's activity: the more bets he makes, the more “pluses” he gets from the bookmaker. And the bookmaker in turn retains the client, who brings him profit.
Everything is simple: a freebet is given for the fact that the player will download and install the bookmaker's mobile application on his gadget. The bonus can be given both without conditions and for some action, for example, to make a bet through the same application.
The conditions for getting a bonus depend on its type. The general instructions are as follows:
What exactly frebets are given for and what is the procedure for receiving them, is specified in the Rules, which bookmaker's offices, as a rule, place in the top menu of their sites. Players must familiarize themselves with them.
Wagering of the bonus – fulfillment of the conditions for its receipt. What are the wagering conditions – the bookmaker prescribes in the rules of the promotions. In most bookmakers there are four main types of wagering:
Most bookmaker's offices have general restrictions on freebets:
Some bookmakers introduce additional restrictions, such as a ban on betting on the system. All such nuances are prescribed in the Rules, published on the official website of the bookmaker.
It is impossible to withdraw a free bet not used for its intended purpose, but the winnings received from a successfully placed bonus can be withdrawn. How – again, it is specified in the Rules of work.
