Since today is the first day of the Cheltenham festival, the team at EverythingHorseUK thought that we would direct you to some of the best bonuses you can take advantage of if you are in the mood to gamble or place a bet on the festival.
The Cheltenham Festival is one of the biggest sporting events in the United Kingdom as well as one of the largest betting events. Millions of pounds will be punted across the four days while the top jockeys and the best-bred horses in the world battle it out. We have teamed up with the team at SlotsHawk.com to bring to you a list of the best bookies and casinos with bonus offers for UK gamblers. Where possible, we have tried to include no deposit bonuses which come risk free as you do not have to deposit any of your own money. Unsurprisingly, the best bookies and casinos are the most well-known ones. Let’s get to it!
888Sport – Bet £10 and get £30 in Free Bets
888Sport will offer all new players £30 in free bets once you signup and make a deposit and wager of £10. If you can afford to fork out £10 of your own cash, then you 888 will give you £30 in free cash whether you win or lose from your original £10 bet. You will also be treated to a £10 bonus to use on slots and casino games.
Monster Casino Sportsbook – £5 No Deposit Bonus
All new UK players can help themselves to a £5 no deposit bonus when they sign up to Monster Casino/sportsbook which you can use on any Cheltenham race or even the Cheltenham Gold Cup if you wish. The only drawback is that there will be wagering requirements on any money you make. If you are simply looking for a free bet, then this is a good option. However, it may be difficult to withdraw any winnings quickly.
BetFred – Bet £10 and get £30 in Free Bets
The exact same offer as 888Sports, UK bookmaker BetFredwill offer all new players £30 in free bets once you deposit and stake £10 of your own money. Like 888Sport, Betfred offer their players both a sportsbook as well as a casino to play at.
What To Expect from Cheltenham?
Day 1 has already developed a heap of excitement. We witnessed Honeysuckle and Rachael Blackmore win the Champion Hurdle with Honeysuckle being the first mare in history to retain the title whilst Marie’s Rock won the Mares’ hurdle. Accumulators are always extremely popular too. If you do intend to bet, we recommend having a bankroll and sticking to it. For example, you could have a bankroll of £20 per day over the four days and you can enforce rules on yourself that you will never go over that budget.
There are a bunch of bookies on social media offering boosts and tips on the festival but please make sure to always gamble responsibly.
