Horse Racing Loyalty Free Bet Clubs For Existing Customers

club enclosure sign at cheltenham racecourse If you are an occasional bettor who just bets on the big meetings like Cheltenham Festival then you can find some outstanding deals but if you are someone who bets regularly on horse racing you could find additional long term value by utilising an existing customer free bet club. Most of these clubs pay you a free bet if you place a certain number and amount of bets on horse racing each week and often these can be claimed in addition to other offers on the site too. Meaning you can still take advantage of incredible deals for the likes of Cheltenham and still have those wagers count towards a loyalty club.

Below are some of the best loyalty free bets for existing customers who bet on racing regularly. Further down we look at the positives and negatives of these reward features and how best to use them. Many of the clubs listed here are open to all sports bets too, not just horse racing, but they do include horse racing bets.

How To Use Loyalty Clubs?

Free bet clubs are designed to be a loyalty incentive for punters that like to place regular bets, therefore they are not designed to be complex or misleading otherwise the overall point is lost. Still, to get the most of out these clubs it helps to understand some basics that will mean you don’t fall foul of any terms that could mean you end up losing out.

Do You Need To Opt-In?

Most free bet clubs require opt-in so remember to do this before placing any bets. Some operators are helpful in that if you opt-in after placing bets they will still count, but not all do so check first. You may need to opt-in just the once or you may need to opt-in every week.

What Is The Qualifying Period?

Most clubs operate over a week, from the start of Monday to the end of Sunday. Some clubs, however, are restricted to certain days, such as Monday to Thursday or over the weekend.

Are There Minimum Stakes?

The majority of clubs require you to place bets at a minimum stake, e.g. place five £5 bets to get a £5 free bet. Any bet placed below the minimum stake will not qualify, but you can place any wager amount over the minimum stake.

Are There Minimum Odds?

Not all existing customer loyalty clubs have minimum odds but some do so check what these are. Also check how the minimum odds work if you place a multiple or accumulator.

Can You Place Any Bet Types?

Some clubs are open to all bets, as long as they meet the minimum stake and odds. Others are restricted to singles, others are restricted to accas with 2 or more picks. You should not assume every bet type is included so check, e.g. does the free bet club cover full cover bets like lucky 15’s?

Do Bets Need To Settle In A Timeframe?

Generally it is the placement of the bet that means you qualify but it has been known for some clubs that the bets also need to settle in the given week to qualify. No point placing a load of ante-post bets if they won’t count, so check.

When Is The Free Bet Awarded, How Long Is It Valid For?

Free tokens, which is the most common way you are rewarded from these clubs, are awarded in most cases the day after the previous week or period ends. In some cases it could be as long as 72 hours. Once awarded free bets are usually valid for one week, but not always.

Is The Free Bet Restricted?

In most cases free bets are unrestricted and can be used on any sports at any odds but some more specific clubs do restrict the free bets. They may, for example, only be available for horse racing, they may have minimum odds or maximum winnings attached.

Can You Cash Out, Use Enhanced Odds, etc.

In some but not all cases if you cash out a bet, especially before it goes live, then it may not count towards your qualifying wagers. This is not a certainty but assume cashed out bets will not count and check first. Likewise check if special offers like enhanced odds bets will count.

Pros and Cons Of Free Bet Clubs

positives

The pros of existing customer free bet clubs are fairly obvious. If you already place bets on horse racing, or any sports, on a regular basis then you could get more value over time by using a free bet club. If, for example, you often place bets of £5+ and you place five or more of these each week then you will qualify for many of the clubs listed on this page. If you place even more bets than this then you could use different clubs with different bookies to further enhance long term value.

negatives

Although not as obvious there are a couple of cons around using these clubs. For example, you may end up betting with a bookie just because you need to meet the weekly quota, when in fact there are better odds available elsewhere. You need to weigh up the value of qualifying for the club vs getting better odds for a specific bet elsewhere.

You also shouldn’t feel pressured to bet just to meet the criteria for a free bet club. If you are not comfortable placing say £5 stakes or placing five bets in a week then don’t use these clubs. For example, you’ve placed 2x£5 bets and you have three bets to go to get a reward next week, if you are forcing yourself to place another 3x£5 bets then it would be perhaps better to not use these clubs as you could end up betting and losing more overall.
