Free Bets Explained:
Freebets Australia largely feature bookmakers who offer new customers an introductory free bet for registering an account and either for placing the first bet or making a first deposit. Due to the Australian Government’s online gambling regulations some States and Territories are excluded from these promotions. Victorian, New South Wales, South Australian and Western Australian residents are ineligible for bookmakers’ Welcome Specials but Queensland, ACT, Northern Territory and Tasmanian residents can take advantage of ‘Free Bet upon Registering’ promotions.
The free bet vary in amount according to the bookmaker’s own policies and are subject to terms and conditions. Customers will not receive the free bet stake with returns on winning free bets – for example if a $25 free bet wins at 3.00, the customer will receive $50.
Customers will be expected to risk real money before receiving free bets – for example place a $50 bet and receive a $50 free bet. Many bookmakers offering this type of free bet will allow customers to withdraw winnings from the free bet straightaway, but some bookmakers will ask for certain wagering requirements to be met – for example bet the amount of the free bet four times before withdrawing winnings.
Where customers receive based on the amount of the first deposit, the amount will not be available for withdrawal until wagering requirements are met. The wagering requirement will involve betting the amount of the real money deposit and betting the amount of at least once and often more.
Occasionally, bookmakers may offer a risk free bet where they will refund the stake if the first bet is a loser. Sometimes such refunds may be withdrawn instantly but most are awarded as a free bet and may have wagering requirements attached.
betinternet Odds and Betting Markets
betinternet’s speciality is Asian Handicaps.
There is an entire section dedicated to Asian Handicap markets in the drop down event list on the left side of the home page.
They seem to favour the ‘split handicap’ in which bettors often will receive half their stake back given certain events
occur. For example, if the handicap is -1/-1.5 and the favoured team wins the match by a final score of 1-0, a bet on the
favourite receives half of their stake back as a result of tying the -1, and loses the other half for not covering the -1.5
goals.
Besides Asian Handicaps, betinternet offer odds on around 20 different sports including UK Horse Racing,
Football, American Football, Cricket, Tennis and other popular sports.
betinternet provides markets for football
leagues around the world, in over 15 different countries and major International and Club tournaments. The markets for
individual matches vary up to 14 markets per match, covering popular match betting markets such as outright (1, X, 2), correct
score, first goalscorer, halftime/fulltime total goals and more.
In addition to its expansive selection of football
markets, betinternet offers some very competitively priced odds where bettors will find there is some good value to be
found.
betinternet offers a basic choice of in-play betting markets and its Live Scores section keeps players up to
date with all the latest action.
