Sports Betting
On initial visit to the Bet365 website, you are taken to the sports betting page as a default but the promotions are not shoved in your face here as on other sites. If you scroll down the left hand side of the page you will see a promotions tab and here you are taken to an area that details all offers in interest brackets. It begins with the sign up bonus for the Bet365 sports area which is a cool 100% when you deposit any amount from £10 up to £200. However before you can make a withdrawal, you must have played through your initial deposit and bonus a total of three times.
If you delve deeper into the site's promotions options, you will also reveal different offers related to the different sports that interest you. Soccer has its own section and here, Bet365 offer each way odds on the first goalscorer in any given match which gives 1/3 of the odds if the player scores at any other point during the game. The Bore Draw Money Back Guarantee is another promotion offered by the company who will refund any bets placed on the first goalscorer, half time/ full time result or scorecast before the kick of ANY football match, should the match end in a 0-0 draw.
100% Euro Soccer Bonus is an offer run whereby you place money on accumulators from any of the four major leagues (Premier League, Bundesliga 1, Primera Liga and Serie A) or the Champions League. If you pick anything more than three selections and you predictions come true, then a bonus will be added to your returns. Amounts vary depending on how many teams you select but choosing a winning Treble will bag you a 5% bonus while a successful 14-fold would net a 100% bonus. Similar promotions are also run for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAAF and NCAAB.
Horse Racing and Greyhound Racing are also sports that carry specific promotions with the former carrying a Channel 4/1 offer. Basically, to qualify for this one all you need to do is place a stake on a winning horse with odds of 4/1 or more which features on any race televised live on Channel 4. If your selection wins then you qualify for a free bet, if it happens again you get another bet and so on. Greyhounds have exactly the same offer, the only variant being that the race must be televised live on Sky Sports rather than the terrestrial option. Best Odds Guarantee is a promise from Bet365 that you will always get the better odds on a race winner, no matter how early you place the bet. For example if you place a stake on a horse that has 4/1 odds to win before the race and they cross the finishing line first with odds of 5/1, you will qualify for the longer odds with no hassle being made to yourself.
Refer A Friend is another offer provided by Bet365 and here you get a £25 bonus for every mate you refer to the site.
