Cheltenham Festival 2016 – Offers and Promotions (so far!)



Like Tweet +1

With just over a week till the Cheltenham Festival 2016 the excitement and anticipation is gathering nicely. For those of you who like free bets, refunds, money back and other betting promotional deals (I assume that’s everyone reading) you will soon be entering Cheltheaven come Tuesday 15th March when the festival officially gets underway. This is the best time of year to open a new bookmaker account as the offers are simply incredible, and will not be beaten at any other time of year.

During the next week the major bookmakers compete to win your custom during Cheltenham 2016. Below I take a look at the offers which you should be aware of in order to maximise your Cheltenham betting.

SKY BET

Sky Bet announced earlier this week that they are offering NEW AND EXISTING CUSTOMERS money back as a free bet in the first race (1:30pm) of every day at Cheltenham 2016, if your horse loses. This will be a free bet up to maximum stake of £25 on losing selections in all four races on each day. 

It guarantees you can’t be down after the first race, and gives you a risk free shot at the first race on each day of Cheltenham. The Sky Bet offer includes the following races:

  • Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle
  • Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle
  • JLT Novices’ Chase
  • JCB Triumph Hurdle

If you are a new customer joining Sky Bet in addition to the above, you will earn a £20 free bet when you stake a £5 bet. Therefore as a new Sky Bet you could potentially earn £125 in free bets over Cheltenham, which is a mighty bounty I think most would agree.

If you want to claim this offer, please visit Sky Bet by clicking here and registering your details.

For those of you wondering where the Ruby Walsh offer (£5 Free Bet every time Ruby Walsh rides a Cheltenham Winner) has gone, unfortunately Sky Bet pulled the offer quite swiftly from it being publicised.

BET365

The Channel 4/1 Offer will apply to every televised live race on Channel 4 at Cheltenham 2016  - the Channel 4/1 Offer gives you a free bet (up to £50) for every winner you back at odds of 4/1 or more. Bet365 will of course be offering the biggest bonus offer in the industry as normal.
