The promotion excludes deposits made via PayPal, Paysafe, Neteller or Skrill, and requires a minimum qualifying odds of 1/2 (evens) or greater for the initial bet.
To qualify, a reader must place a £5 bet at minimum odds of evens within seven days of registering, after which the free‑bet tokens – a £10 Tote Credit and a £10 sports free bet – are credited and must be used within seven days.
A separate £20 first‑deposit bonus is also offered, but it only activates when the depositor makes a £20 cash bet at minimum odds of 1.75, again opting in through the cashier drop‑down menu.
All free‑bet tokens must be staked in a single transaction; the punter cannot cash out the free bet, and withdrawing cash before the free bet settles will forfeit both the free bet and any winnings derived from it.
The offer is limited to a £20 minimum deposit and a £20 single bet at odds of 2.00 or higher, with the same opt‑in requirement and a seven‑day expiry on the free bet.
The Standard reiterates its commitment to responsible gambling, reminding readers that gambling can be addictive, encouraging the use of deposit limits and time‑out tools, and providing contact details for BeGambleAware and Gamcare for those seeking help.
