Types of Cheltenham Betting Offers

Enhanced Offers

At Cheltenham, particularly the Championship races, you'll see a lot of betting offers boosting the price of a particular horse (normally the favourite) to give your first bet, as a new customer, much higher returns should the horse win the race.

These offers are plentiful when Festival week comes around and the horses look out for this year are Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle, Sir Gerhard in the Ballymore Novices Hurdle, Shishkin in the Champion Chase, Tiger Roll in the Cross Country Chase, Bob Olinger in the Turners Novices Chase and Allaho in the Ryanair Chase.

Through the Card

These offers provide you with an interest in all of the day's racing, only requiring you to place on bet on the first race. A bet through the card offer begins with you signing up to a bookmaker ahead of the day's racing, placing a bet on the first race of the day, then 'unlocking' a free bet on each of the subsequent races throughout the day.

Look out for offers of this nature on the first day of the festival, with bookies looking to make a splash with the first race - the Supreme Novices Hurdle.

Non Runner No Bet

If you're looking to place ante post bets, non runner no bet is a great way to reduce your risk and get better odds. A number of bookies offer this to punters from the start of the year and as the Festival approaches more and more will make the switch to non runner no bet.

Cheltenham Festival Existing Customer Offers

While you won't be able to take up sign up offers from a particular bookie if you're already registered with them, there are plenty of other ways to take up great offers during Cheltenham.

Cheltenham Free Bets - Stand-Out Offers

Some bookies will choose to improve their existing free bet on offer to new customers to use at Cheltenham as opposed to creating offers specific to the racing. For example, a bookie normally offering bet £10 get £30 in free bets could enhance those terms to offer to bet £10 get £50 in free bets. That will give you the opportunity to claim more in free bets to use during Festival week than at any other time of the year!

Faller insurance has been a staple for bookies over the years at Cheltenham, which is designed to soften the blow if your horse falls while in contention to win the race. Another similar type of offer is refunds as free bets if a particular horse wins or by the distance they win by.

Sky Bet changed the game in the existing customer offer landscape last year by offering money back up to £20 when you placed a bet on the first race of each day, should your horse go on to lose.
